A Tribute to Rich Mullins
When He rolls up His sleeves, He ain't just puttin' on the ritz.
Our God is an awesome God.
There's thunder in His footsteps & lightning in His fists.
Our God is an awesome God.
And the Lord wasn't joking when He kicked 'em out of Eden,
it wasn't for no reason that He shed His blood.
His return is very close, & so you better be believin',
that our God is an awesome God.
Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns from Heaven above,
with wisdom, power and love.
Our God is an awesome God.
And when the sky was starless in the void of the night
Our God is an awesome God.
He spoke into the darkness and created the light.
Our God is an awesome God.
Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten
that our God is an awesome God.
Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns from Heaven above,
with wisdom, power and love.
Our God is an awesome God.
NOTHING IS BEYOND YOU
Nothing is beyond You.
You stand beyond the reach
of my vain imaginations, my misguided piety.
Heaven stretch to hold you and deep cries out to deep
saying nothing is beyond you.
Time can not contain you. You fill eternity.
Sin could never stain you. Death has lost it's sting.
And I could not explain how you came to love me...
'cept to say that nothing is beyond you.
CREED
I believe in God the Father almighty
Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ
His only begotten Son, our Lord
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
He was crucified and dead and buried.
Chorus:
And I believe what I believe
Is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not
The invention of any man.
I believe that He who suffered
Was crucified, buried and dead
He descended into Hell and
On the third day He rose again
He ascended into Heaven where
He sits at Gods mighty right hand
I believe that He's returning to
Judge the quick and the dead
Of the sons of men
Repeat chorus
I believe in God the Father almighty
Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son,
Our Lord.
I believe in the Holy Spirit
One Holy Church, the communion of Saints,
The forgiveness of sins
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life that never ends.
Repeat Chorus
IF I STAND
There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
More that shines in the night than just the moon
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger than this room
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
I owe only to the giver of all good things.
Chorus:
So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That You will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
If I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
But if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home
There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind
More that pulses in the ocean than the tide
There's a love that is fiercer than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's when her baby's at her side
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
I owe only to the giver of all good things.
Repeat Chorus
"When I leave I want to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on the stars
It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye."
Goodbye Rich, see you on the other side.
