THIS IS LIFE
Written by Judy McComb ©2006 Covenant Builders
There is nothing that wlove more Than to sing praise to You Lord Nothing else makes us come alive Than to dance before Your throne All else just fades away when You pour Your love on us And as we raise our hands, we know this is why we live
This is life – this is the real life The life You intended us to live This is life – this is the real life Spending our time in worship This is life
We will spend every day we live giving thanks for all we have Yet when we find You in the secret place We will gladly lay it all down We know Your loving kindness is better than our life So in Your house we’ll sing There’s no place we’d rather be
This is life – this is the real life The life You intended us to live This is life – this is the real life Spending our time in worship
This is what will count - who we are in You The honour we bring to Your house And we will not take time building what will fall But a Kingdom that will not end This is life
Hallelujah Take the praise that’s due Your Name
There is nothing that we love more Than to sing praise to You
Written by Judy McComb ©2006 Covenant Builders Based on 2 Chronicles 16:9a
You have got your eye on me You have got Your hand – it’s holding me You have got Your eye on me May You see my heart is solely for You Lord When You’re looking down on me
Every day I stand at a crossroad To choose Your tree of life once more I simply put my trust in the promise That You take care of those who love Your ways I pray I’ll always do what You ask me To never be afraid of man Oh I won’t walk by what I see But through Your eyes I’ll live
It’s hard Lord living to be holy When all around is darkness Always swimming ‘gainst the tide I stand strong because I’m undone To whom else shall I go? Your words are life I know
BIG GOD
©2006 Covenant Builders. Written for my nephew Jackson’s dedication
I never thought that I could feel a love and bond so strong but I do, I do But let me tell you of a God who made you with this love and He is, He is I will try and love you in so many ways And maybe over time I will meet some of your needs How I wish I could love like Him
So at the end of your day When nothing seems OK And all things around seem uncertain Remember the day, the day you heard me say - “Don’t fear - you are loved by a big God”
It hurts to know that you’ll regret mistakes that you will make but I hope, I hope But let me tell you of God’s Son who’s perfect in your place and He died, He died Nothing is so bad He cannot wash away Nothing is so hopeless that He can’t build again I know you can trust in Him
He’s the one who made the earth He’s a big God And there is no-one else like Him He’s a big God He hears your voice He knows your name
STILL WAITING Written by Judy McComb ©2006 Covenant Builders
Everyday is a struggle to patiently wait here All I want is the bridegroom to come and take me home I’ll press on and not look back I hear You calling me Hope You’ll find my lamp is full but until then …
I’m still waiting for the day of Your return I’m still waiting on You I’m still waiting for Your Spirit to consume me Mostly what I’m waiting for is to look like You
Warring deep within me – Your Spirit and my flesh I long to do all the good things set aside for me I must keep my eyes on You The lover of my heart I will win this race I’m in but until then …..
All I want is the bridegroom to come and take me home I will win this race I’m in but until then …..
WE CRY OUT TO YOU Written by Judy McComb © 2006 Covenant Builders A prayer for the persecuted church of Indonesia
When we look at our world Lord It brings us to our knees All the pain and injustice It’s more than some can bare Who is able to raise them up Mend their brokenness, light their fire again? Who’ll restore their lives, meet their loneliness? There’s no-one – there’s no-one but You
So we cry out to You - our only Saviour So we cry out to You – our only friend So we cry out to You – our only healer You are a faithful God - our only hope
See the blood of the martyrs - rivers never seen Hear the cries of the voiceless that no-one wants to hear Who will be there to help them mourn Hold their hand each day, take them through the night? Who will wake the West to take up their fight? There’s no-one – there’s no-one but You
You are their faithful God - their only hope You are our faithful God - our only hope
When we look at our world Lord It brings us to our knees
TALK OF ME
Written by Judy McComb © 2006 Covenant Builders Based on Deuteronomy 11: 18-28
Right from the start I declared that I would be your God I’ll love you with unending love and you will be mine My glory will lead every step that you take What’s Mine will be yours Just do the things I ask and hear these words I say –
Talk of My ways when you sit round the table each day When you drive in the car, when you walk by the way Talk of Me on your beds when you lie down at night Let My name be the first on your lips when you rise Write My ways on your doors, on your gates, on your walls Let My law fill your heart, your mind and your soul Just talk of Me Won’t you talk of Me always
I made you to walk in My ways, be holy as I am To taste of the goodness in store for those who are true I’ve set you apart to be righteous and pure A people of faith Just do the things I ask and hear these words I say -
Don’t be deceived by those around you Don’t believe what they believe Do not be drawn into their ways It will grieve My heart Because My ways are higher My plans are greater than anything you’ve seen I’m the Lord of all lords, the God above all gods
WEDDING FEAST
Written by Judy McComb © 2006 Covenant Builders Based on Revelation 19:7-9
I’m taking up an invitation To the wedding of the Lamb The Lion of Judah is His Name They say that those who come are blessed For those who’ve chosen to confess That Jesus is the Saviour of us all
I’m going to move my feet, lift my hands Look up and worship Jesus I’m going to move my feet Lift my hands and sing of all He is I’m going to move my feet, lift my hands Look up and worship Jesus Prepare the wedding feast For the Bride is waiting
I even know what I will wear A robe of righteousness so fair Woven from the righteous acts of saints We all will gather ‘round the throne Sing praises to the Lord alone Let’s start the celebration now
We must go out to the streets Tell them of the wedding feast That all are welcome to come Tell them who has paid the price No sin too great for Jesus Christ His Father is calling us home!
ALWAYS ENOUGH
Written by Judy McComb © 2006 Covenant Builders Dedicated to Sinces from the Lata Lata people in Indonesia This is our shared testimony
You are the love of my life My fighter of fights The deliverer of my soul You are the reason I stand You’re a holder of hands My Saviour, my Lord, my friend You are the keeper of secrets I shared in the night You’re the river of all my joy Jesus – You’re my enough Always enough
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like If all I loved was gone Would I look who to blame Turn my face away or simply praise Your name? I’m learning how faithful How true and how strong You are when I call On You I will stand You’re the rock when around me is all sinking sand
I know that Your eyes are looking to find those Whose hearts belong to You You come to be strong Prove Your love will be as arms to carry me In want or in need I’m content to be in Your grace, in Your love I know I will conquer whatever’s before me In You I will be free
I DIDN'T KNOW
Written by Judy McComb ©2006 Covenant Builders
People everywhere, all are running scared For they see who You really are Darkness all around, there’s shaking underground I’ve even seen the dead arise The curtain in the temple was torn in two For You had said “I’ve come to make things new” They mockingly called You the King of the Jews When really You were the King of Kings
I didn’t know that You were the Son of God I didn’t know that You were the Living Lamb I didn’t know that my sin drove the nails in Your hands Took the debt from my life Opened the door to Paradise Oh forgive me my Lord I didn’t know You loved me this much
Loved ones looking on, Your followers are gone You must have felt so all alone They gambled for Your robe having whipped You to the bone You didn’t even say a word The people had chosen You a death with shame Yet days before they’d honoured You with praise They spat and they cursed for You to prove who you were Yet in love You had cried “Father, forgive them!”
How I wish I had known You took the debt from my life Opened the door to Paradise Oh forgive me my Lord You’ve given life to my soul Oh forgive me my Lord I didn’t know You loved me this much I didn’t know
WHERE ELSE
Written by Judy McComb ©2006 Covenant Builders
Where else would I rather be than kneeling before You? Where else would I rather be than here? Seeking all there is to know of who You are What’s to behold I’ll never leave until I see ...
All Your glory and splendour The wonder of Your throne Until I hear the angels crying “Blessed One” I want to grasp how You just called the worlds to be And yet You want to be with me
Show me Your glory and splendour The wonder of Your throne I long to hear the angels crying “Blessed One” I want to grasp how You just called the worlds to be And yet You long to lift my head And then You’ll call me by name Yes You’ll call me by name
