Words to support the songs

Happy Day

The greatest day in history

Death is beaten, You have rescued me Sing it out, Jesus is alive

The empty cross, the empty grave

Life eternal, You have won the day Shout it out, Jesus is alive

He's alive

Oh, happy day, happy day You washed my sin away Oh, happy day, happy day I'll never be the same Forever I am changed

When I stand in that place

Free at last, meeting face to face I am yours, Jesus, You are mine Endless joy, perfect peace Earthly pain finally will cease Celebrate, Jesus is alive

He's alive

And oh, happy day, happy day You washed my sin away

Oh, happy day, happy day

I'll never be the same

Oh no, forever I am changed

Oh, what a glorious day What a glorious way

That You have saved me And oh, what a glorious day What a glorious name

Hey, and oh, happy day, happy day You washed my sin away

Oh, happy day, happy day I'll never be the same

Oh no, forever I am changed What a glorious, glorious day I'll never be the same

Written by: Tim Hughs

Lord you are calling

Lord you are calling

The people of your Kingdom

To battle in your name

Against the enemy

To stand before you

A people who will serve you

Till your Kingdom is released throughout the earth

Let your Kingdomcome

Let your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven (x2)

At the name of Jesus

Every knee shall bow

The darkness of this age must flee away

Release your power

To flow throughout the land

Let your glory be revealed as we praise Written by: Noel Richards

I simply live for you

Say the world

And I will sing for you

Over oceans deep

I will follow

If each star was a song

And every breath of wind, praise It will still fail by far to say

All my heart contains

I simply live, I simply for you

As the glory of your presence

Now fills this place

In worship we will meet you face to face There is nothing in this world

To which you can be compared

Glory on glory,

Praise on praise

You bind the broken hearted

And save all my tears

By your word,

You set the captives free

There is nothing in this world

That you cannot do

I simply live, I simply live for you Written by: Russell Fragar

Great is Your faithfulness

Great is Your faithfulness

O God my Father

O God my friend

Your love it never fades

And so I’ll love You until the end

When shadows fall You never change From age to age You never change

Great is Your faithfulness Your faithfulness Through the years You’ve always been there Great is Your love for us Your love for us Through the years You’ll always be there

Great Your kindness God

You are our shelter our dwelling place Your presence like a fire

Hope for tomorrow strength for today

We will stand we will stand upon Your promises We are strong we are strong

Because our hope is in You

We will run we will run we will run

We belong we belong we belong to You to You Written by: Martin Smith

Waiting here for You

If faith can move the mountains

Let the mountains move

We come with expectation

Waiting here for you, I’m waiting here for you You’re the Lord of all creation

And still you know my heart The Author of Salvation You’ve loved us from the start

Waiting here for You

With our hands lifted high in praise And it's You we adore

Singing Alleluia

You are everything You’ve promised

Your faithfulness is true

And...
