VERSE 1
I’ll bless Your name, O God, each day that I awake
From dawn to setting sun, Your greatness I’ll proclaim
Your glory far exceeds all human thought
So with each breath I’ll bless Your name, O God
VERSE 2
Your name will be revered by children yet to come
As generations sing of wonders You have done
Your strong and mighty deeds are always near
O God Most High, Your name will be revered
CHORUS
How great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!
How great is the Lord our God
How great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!
VERSE 3
Your gracious hand provides for all who live and breathe
Your mercy runs to find the helpless and the weak
When we call out to You, You hear our cries
And all our needs Your gracious hand provides
VERSE 4
Forever without end, creation will rejoice
When works of wicked men, You finally destroy
Your power we’ll proclaim till Christ descends
And You will reign forever without end

VERSE 1
Your words are wonderful, unfolding like the dawn
A wellspring and the rock we rest upon
We trust Your promises that keep our hope alive
They steady us throughout life’s weary climb
CHORUS
Where else can we go? Where else can we go?
You have the words of life, the words of life
VERSE 2
Come write Your holy truth upon our longing hearts
And strengthen us to shine against the dark
Lord, guard us from the lies the enemy will speak
No guilt remains for those You have redeemed
CHORUS 2
Where else can we go? Where else can we go?
You have the words of life, the words of life
Make Your glory known, make Your glory known
Through all Your words of life, Your words of life
BRIDGE
Give us ears to hear and eyes to see
Help us in our doubt and unbelief
Give us ears to hear and eyes to see
Help us in our doubt and unbelief
Give us ears to hear and eyes to see
Help us in our doubt and unbelief

VERSE 1
My God is slow to anger when I go astray
Bless the Lord, O my soul
For all of my betrayals, He will not repay
Bless the Lord, O my soul
Through mercy and compassion His great love is proved
He covers my transgressions like the snow
As far as east from west are all my sins removed
Bless the Lord, O my soul
VERSE 2
He saved me from the pit when I had lost all hope
Bless the Lord, O my soul
From endless springs of kindness all His blessings flow
Bless the Lord, O my soul
Our days will fade like flowers and are quickly spent
And like the wind our years will come and go
Everlasting favor is His covenant
Bless the Lord, O my soul
VERSE 3
Merciful and gracious is my God to me
Bless the Lord, O my soul
I will tell His goodness through eternity
Bless the Lord, O my soul
And bless the Lord, you angels, all you heav’nly hosts
And every living creature here below
Oh praise the Father, praise the Son, and Holy Ghost
Bless the Lord, O my soul
TAG
And bless the Lord, you angels, all you heav’nly hosts

Oh praise the Father, praise the Son, and Holy Ghost

Behold Him, robed in majesty
Crowned with strength and glory, holy is our King!

Breakers bow before Him, tides rush to obey

He reigns when oceans roar, He reigns above the storm
Enthroned on high, the Lord Almighty reigns

Behold Him, stronger than the seas
God from everlasting, just in His decrees
Behold Him, worthy of our trust
Faithful to His promise, ever here with us

He reigns when oceans roar, He reigns above the storm

He reigns amidst the flood, He reigns with grace and love
Enthroned on high the Lord Almighty reigns
BRIDGE
Wind and waves are stilled in reverence
Thunder trembles in Your presence
You will hold us in the tempest
You will not be moved! You will not be moved!
You will not be moved! You will not be moved!

O God, before the mountains were brought forth
Or days of spring and summer filled the earth
From everlasting, You are God

And loss reminds us life is but a sigh
From everlasting, You are God

But by Your grace You’re making all things new
So satisfy us in our numbered days
Establish every effort while we wait

When the enemy surrounds and my heart grows faint within
When the darkness overwhelms and my fears are pressing in
I will trust in You, O Lord, in the silence I will wait
I will stand upon Your Word
CHORUS
You’re my solid rock and my salvation
My steadfast hope that won’t be shaken
My soul will wait, my soul will wait for You

Though the wicked never yield, they will vanish like a breath
Yes, I know the outcome’s sure, Satan’s evil plans will fail
In Your power I’m secure

You’re my solid rock and my salvation
My steadfast hope that won’t be shaken
My soul will wait, my soul will wait for You
You’re my comfort when I feel forsaken
My refuge and my sure foundation
My soul will wait, my soul will wait for You
VERSE 3
This is love I can’t explain, this is mercy unreserved
Through Your sacrifice so great, I have peace that’s undeserved
For the battle has been won, and I fear no shame or loss
Now the sting of death is gone

Pouring out our hearts before You
We will trust in You
Perfect Savior, strong defender
We will trust in You

VERSE 1
I lift my eyes and see, I need not be afraid
All my help comes from the Lord
Who the earth and sky has made

He will keep you from all evils, behind you and before
He will sustain you, through this journey
From now and evermore
VERSE 2
The Lord will never sleep
My steps He has ordained
For the One who holds the night
Is the Sovereign of my days
