Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Verse 1

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now I’m found

Was blind but now I see

Verse 2

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

Chorus

My chains are gone I’ve been set free

My God my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love amazing grace

Verse 3

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures

Verse 4

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow

The sun forbear to shine

But God who called me here below

Will be forever mine

You are forever mine

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus

Verse 1

I have decided to follow Jesus

No turning back no turning back

Verse 2

The world behind me the cross before me

No turning back no turning back

Verse 3

Though none go with me still I will follow

No turning back no turning back

Glorious Day

Verse 1

I was buried beneath my shame

Who could carry that kind of weight

It was my tomb ’til I met You

Verse 2

I was breathing but not alive

All my failures I tried to hide

It was my tomb ’til I met You

Chorus

You called my name

I ran out of that grave

Out of the darkness into Your glorious day

You called my name and I ran out of that grave

Out of the darkness into Your glorious day

Verse 3

Now Your mercy has saved my soul

Now Your freedom is all that I know

The old made new Jesus when I met You

Bridge

I needed rescue my sin was heavy

But chains break at the weight of Your glory

I needed shelter I was an orphan

Now You call me a citizen of Heaven

When I was broken You were my healing

Now Your love is the air that I’m breathing

I have a future my eyes are open

Graves Into Gardens

Verse 1

I searched the world but it couldn’t fill me

Man’s empty praise and treasures that fade

Are never enough

Then You came along and put me back together

And every desire is now satisfied here in Your love

Chorus

Oh there’s nothing better than You

There’s nothing better than You

Lord there’s nothing

Nothing is better than You

Verse 2

I’m not afraid to show You my weakness

My failures and flaws

Lord You’ve seen them all

And You still call me friend

‘Cause the God of the mountain

Is the God of the valley

There’s not a place

Your mercy and grace won’t find me again

You turn mourning to dancing

You give beauty for ashes

You turn shame into glory

You’re the only one who can

(Reapeat)

Bridge 2

You turn graves into gardens

You turn bones into armies

You turn seas into highways

You’re the only one who can

This Is Our God

Verse 1

Remember those walls that we called sin and shame

They were like prisons that we couldn’t escape

But He came and He died and He rose

Those walls are rubble now

Remember those giants we called death and grave

They were like mountains that stood in our way

But He came and He died and He rose

Those giants are dead now

He loves us

This is our God this is what He does

He saves us

He bore the cross beat the grave

Let heaven and earth proclaim

This is our God King Jesus

Faith so weak that we could barely pray

But He heard every word every whisper

Now those altars in the wilderness

Tell the story of His faithfulness

Never once did He fail and He never will
