Lyrics for the Outdoor Worship Gathering at the Crystal Lake Campus

Praise

I’ll praise in the valley
Praise on the mountain
I’ll praise when I’m sure
Praise when I’m doubting
I’ll praise when outnumbered,
praise when surrounded
Cause praise is the waters
my enemies drown in
As long as I’m breathing
I’ve got a reason to
Pra – ise the Lord oh my soul
Pra – ise the Lord oh my soul
I’ll praise when I feel it,
and I’ll praise when I don’t (yeah)
I’ll praise ’cause I know
You’re still in control
‘Cause my praise is a weapon,
it’s more than a sound more than a sound
Oh, my praise is the shout that
brings Jericho down yeah
I won’t be quiet, my God is alive
So how could I keep it inside?
I gotta
Yeah, praise the Lord
I’ll praise cause You’re sovereign
Praise cause You reign
Praise cause You rose
And defeated the grave
I’ll praise cause You’re faithful
Praise cause You’re true
Praise cause there’s nobody Greater than You

I’m Going Free (Jailbreak)

Go on and speak against
my borrowed innocence
the judge is my defense
I’m going free
right when the gavel fell
I heard the freedom bell
ring through the heart of hell
I’m going free, I’m going free
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
You threw my shackles in the sea
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Jesus is my liberty
I’m going free
I won’t go back again,
that’s just not who I am
Lord, I’m a brand new man
I’m going free
I’m on a narrow road
it’s paved with grace and hope
it’s gonna lead me home
I’m going free, I’m going free
I am free, I am free in – deed
I am free, I am free in – deed
we are free, free in – deed
we are free, free in – deed
Someday I’ll fly away
on Your amazing grace
Your love is my jailbreak
I’m going free

King of My Heart

Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from
Oh, He is my song.
Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, He is my song.
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
Let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh, He is my song.
Let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh, He is my song.
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh, He is my song
You’re never gonna let,
never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let,
never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let,
never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let,
never gonna let me down
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
You’re never gonna let,
never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let,
never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let,
never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let,
never gonna let me down

Praise God

There’s a song within me,
reaching from the inside out
Forever in the making,
you’re composing even now
I’ve heard it in the heavens,
the angels circle round and round
No end and no beginning,
I lift my voice to join the sound
Join the sound
Praise God, the Name above all names
Praise God, the Holy One who reigns
Praise God, the heavens cry out night and day
True in fields of riches,
true even on barren ground
No matter what the season
nothing’s gonna stop it now
My soul cries out
Praise God, the Name above all names
Praise God, the Holy One who reigns
Praise God, the heavens cry out night and day
Praise God, the Lion and the Lamb
Praise God, Holy, Omnipotent
Praise God, the First, the Last, the great I Am
I saw the Lamb upon the throne
Who holds the keys and takes the scroll
He healed my lips with burning coals
He found me and he made me whole
I see a kingdom with no end
His holy saints go marching in
The tree of life it grows again
And Eden blooms where shame has been
Praise God,
Praise God,
Praise God
Praise God,
Praise God,
Praise God, the heavens cry out night and day
Praise God, the Lion and the Lamb
Praise God, Holy, Omnipotent
Praise God, the First, the Last, the great I Am
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord, our God, Almighty
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord, our God, Almighty

Alabaster Jar

It’s always Your kindness, Lord
It’s always Your kindness, Lord
That leads to repentance
And the healing I’ve witnessed
It’s always Your kindness, Lord
It’s only Your mercy, Lord
It’s only Your mercy, Lord
That knows where I’ve wandered
But runs like a Father
It’s only Your mercy, Lord
And I will give you the weight of my worship
You can have what’s dearest to me
Here I break open my heart
like an alabaster jar
My life is an offering
It’s only Your power, Lord
It’s only Your power, Lord
One touch of your garment I’m changed in a moment
It’s only Your power, Lord
It’s only Your victory
Jesus, Your victory
Heaven’s wide open through Your body broken
It’s only Your victory
You laid down Your life
So I’m lifting mine
This is my offering
And I will give you
the weight of my worship
You can have what’s dearest to me
Here I break open my heart
like an alabaster jar
My life is an offering
To You my life is an offering
