AS FIRE BURNS BRUSHWOOD
(Isaiah 64:1-3)

Oh, that You would rend the heavens!
That You would come down
That the mountains might shake at Your presence
As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil.

Oh, that You would rend the heavens!
That You would come down
That the mountains might shake at Your presence
As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil.
As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil.

Make Your Name known to Your adversaries
That the nations may tremble at Your presence
When You do awesome things for which we do not look
As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil.
As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil.

You came down! You came down!
The mountains shook at Your presence.
You came down! You came down!
The mountains shook at Your presence.

Oh, that You would rend the heavens!
That You would come down
That the mountains might shake at Your presence
As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil.
As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil.
As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil.


THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD
(2 Chronicles 20:15-17)

Listen, People, thus says the Lord to you,
“Do not be afraid. Do not be dismayed
Because of this great multitude,
for the battle belongs to the Lord.”

“Do not fear or be dismayed.
Tomorrow go out against them.
Do not be afraid. Do not be dismayed
for the Lord is with you.”

“You will not need to fight in this battle.
Position yourselves. Stand still
And see the salvation of the Lord.”

Listen, People, thus says the Lord to you,
“Do not be afraid. Do not be dismayed
Because of this great multitude,
for the battle belongs to the Lord.
The battle belongs to the Lord.
The battle belongs to the Lord.
The battle belongs to the Lord.”

As we love not our lives to the death.

By your words you shall be justified
and by your words you’ll be condemned.

YOU HUMBLED US
(Deuteronomy 8)

You humbled us, causing us to hunger and then feeding us with manna
which we did not know, neither did our fathers know.
You humbled us, causing us to hunger and then feeding us with manna
to teach us that man does not live by bread alone
but by every word from the mouth of God.
Our clothes didn’t wear out and our feet did not swell.
Praise to our God. We praise You, O Lord!

You brought us out from the land of slavery.
You brought us out from the bondage of sin. (You brought us out)
You brought us out from the land of slavery.
and made us free outside and in.

You led us through the vast and terrible desert.
You led us through a dry and thirsty land.
You led us through the vast and terrible desert.
with venomous scorpions and snakes.

You brought water out of the rock. (You brought us water)
You gave manna in the desert.
You humbled us. You tested us.
You chastened us as a father chastens his son.

You humbled us. You tested us
that in the end it might go well with us.
You humbled us. You tested us
that in the end it might go well with us.

THE COMMANDMENT IS A LAMP
(Proverbs 3 & 6)

My son, keep your father’s commandment.
Forsake not the law of your mother.
Bind them upon your heart.
Tie them around your neck
And when you go, it shall lead you.
And when you sleep, it shall watch over you.
And when you wake, it’ll talk with you.

For the commandment is a lamp and the law is light
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
The commandment is a lamp and the law is light
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life.

My son, don’t forget my law.
Let your heart keep my commands.
Bind them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
For they shall add length of days,
long life, and peace to you
And truth and mercy won’t forsake you.

For the commandment is a lamp and the law is light
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
The commandment is a lamp and the law is light
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life.

And reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
The commandment is a lamp and the law is light
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
