Lyrics for "I Only Want to Cling to You"

Psalm 119-2

vs 17-32

When I am cast down

Lying with my shattered hope

Eyes too tired to see

That at the end of my road

Your path, your Word

and your wisdom

will guide my way

will guide my way

At the end of my road

Just a stranger on the earth

On a sojourn through this life

stranger from my birth

Your word, your law

your testimonies

will guide my way

will guide my way

Don't want to cleave to the dust

I only want to cling to you

Don't want to cleave to the dust

I only want to cling to you

When I called Your name

You answered me with truth

Give me a generous heart

A heart to be filled by you

And let me never be put to shame

guide my way

guide my way

Don't want to cleave to the dust

I only want to cling to you

Don't want to cleave to the dust

I only want to cling to you

I only want to cling to you

O guide my way

I only want to cling to you

O guide my way

I only want to cling to you

O guide my way

I only want to cling to you

O guide my way

You know the way

Lyrics to "Treasure"

Blessed are the ones who are blameless Blessed is the Son of Man Blessed are the ones who seek You And follow after Your commands

Oh that my ways may be steadfast Your word is true I have learned where the treasure's found The treasure is You

All our treasures are found in You Moth and rust cannot destroy The trustworthy promises The delight of Mary's joy

Oh that my ways may be steadfast Your word is true I have stored Your word in my heart That I might not sin against You

I will fix my eyes on Your ways I will fix my eyes on Your ways The ways that please You Please You like the Son of man Lord give me eyes to see Lord give me eyes to see Give me strength to follow With my whole heart And when I sin, O help me trust In the sinless Lamb of God

Who is like the Lord our God, who raise the poor from the dust. A beautiful meditation from Chad Bird and wonderful song from Jonathan, Amanda and Emmy Noel.

Lyrics to Psalm 113

From the glories of heaven,

Whom do you see?

The proud and the lofty

Or the bended knee?

Lowly and poor

You know me by name

You hear my cry

You feel my pain

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

From the rising of the sun

Til the end of the day

May the name of the Lord

Receive all praise

You raise the poor

You lift up the weak

You fill us with joy

To that we can sing

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Magnify the Lord forever

O my soul, O my soul

Welcomed to the banquet

seated at Your table

O my soul, O my soul

Magnify the Lord forever.

Through all generations

You are good and gracious

Magnify the Lord forever

O my soul

Blessed be the name

of the Lord

from this time forth

and forevermore!

Who looks with compassion

Upon the barren woman

Surrounds her with children

Her heart overflows

In this episode Chad looks at this Psalm and the heartbreaking descriptions it gives of suffering and meditates on what is accomplished on our behalf.

Izzi Ray sings "Ever Since I Was Young".

Psalm 112 has much to say about the steadfast one, the one who loves God, who gives of himself, follows God's precepts and helps others. But, Chad focuses on another aspect of the steadfast one, and I think you will find this very encouraging. Colin Heinrich and Audrey Schreiner sing "Light Dawns in the Darkness"

Lyrics:

Psalm 112

Blessed the man who fears You, trusts You

The righteous will never be moved

Steady the heart, the heart set upon You

In the fight, when your heel is bruised

It is well

It is well

Whatever the battle,

Whatever the cost,

Whatever the struggle,

Whatever the loss

Light dawns in the darkness

You are not against us

No, You won't forget us

Your'e the steadfast One

The steadfast One

Blessed the man who fears You, trusts You

Who is not afraid of bad news

Blessed the man, who imitates the Savior,

And freely gives to the poor

It is well

It is well

The wicked will perish

You will smile upon us forever

Chad unpacks this short but very profound Psalm of hope. Paul Jackson sings "Praise the Lord".

Lyrics for Psalm 117

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord

All you nations, all you peoples

Glorify His name

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord

All you nations, all you peoples

Glorify His name

For Your steadfast love toward us

Endures forever

And the faithfulness of the Lord

Throughout the ages

Oh Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord

Through all the earth

We can look at our world at face value or we can see God's expression of His wisdom, love and kindness. Rebekah Caggegi sings "Surrounded".

Lyrics to Psalm 111

In wisdom love and splendor

The grass and spreading trees

The stars above the night sky

The gentle ocean breeze

You have shown your glory

In all that You have made

And the wonder of creation

Is Your love displayed

Chorus:

Surrounded by Your beauty

The works of Your hand, revealed in this land

Surrounded by Your glory

The works of Your hand, revealed in this land

Full of grace and mercy

Your righteousness endures

Your covenant forever

Established by Your Son

To fear you O Lord

And begin the path of wisdom

To understand Your greatness

Through the ages

Chorus:

Surrounded by the beauty

The works of Your hand, revealed in this land

Surrounded by Your glory

The works of Your hand, revealed in this land

I lift my hands to heaven

Like the branches of a tree

I drink the living waters

That you pour out for me

I will praise you Lord

With all creation

With my whole heart

A call to trust in the Lord. John Andrew Schreiner sings "Who Can I Trust".

Song Lyrics:

Psalm 115 Who Can I Trust

Not to us O Lord

But to your name give glory

You dwell in the heavens

And all creation tells Your story

You speak, You see, You hear

You dwell with the lowly

we are Your treasure

Made to be holy

Chorus:

Who can I trust?

In life and death

I trust in You

For my every breath

Gold and silver formed

Into a lifeless image

And all who bow before them

Become like what they worship

They do not speak, or see, or hear

And are soon forgotten

But we are Your treasure

We are Your beloved

Bridge:

Our help, our shield, our trust

Is in You

You remembered us

You bless us and keep us

Make Your face to shine upon us

And give us peace

In this short but profound Psalm we read of Israel crossing into the promised land and the mountains and hills and river Jordan reacting to the presence of God. Izzi Ray sings "Every Breath". Starting this week we will post the lyrics for the songs from the podcast/

Psalm 114

You freed us

From a land of affliction

You made your sanctuary

In our midst

The sea looked and fled .

The river turned back

We crossed the Jordon

Onto dry land

Chorus:

Tremble, all the earth

Tremble, for God is here

You speak, and all creation

hears your command

Rocks pour out their water

On a thirsty land

And You created in us

A place to dwell

We welcome You

Living water flows from Your well

Chorus:

Tremble, all the earth

Tremble, for You are here

VAMP:

Tremble, all the hosts of heaven

Tremble, all the sons of men

Tremble above the earth,

Tremble all below

Tremble before the Lord

For You are here

For You are here with us

God has done great things, but it's natural to feel we are being trampled down by the struggles we face. Chad shines light on this and our reason for great and lasting hope. Izzi Ray sings "We Will Sing the Victor's Song".
