Jesus, Full of Compassion

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I am the outcast leper
Falling helpless to my knees
You are the one who would touch me
Stretch out your hand, To make me clean

Verse 2:
I am the bleeding woman
Desperate reaching for your robes
You are the one who stops for me
You call me daughter, And make me whole

Chorus:
Jesus, full of compassion
With love for the broken
Beating in your heart, Beating in your heart 
(That we’d know the love of God)

Verse 3:
I am like Lazarus buried
While Martha and Mary grieve in pain
You are the one who weeps for me
Tells me to rise up, Come out of the grave

Chorus

Bridge:
I am the haunted man in the graveyard
I am the woman awaiting the stones
I am the prodigal son
You’re like the Father who runs
Wraps me in love and carries me home

I am the crowd that calls for Barabbas
I am Peter denying your name
You take my cross and my death
You give me life instead
Your mercy is speaking right into my shame

Chorus

Let It Be So With Your Church

Lyrics

Verse 1:
As our Jesus in love touched the leper
Offered grace when they’d cast a stone
As he ate with the outcasts and sinners        
With his church, let it be so 

Verse 2:
As he preached the good news of the kingdom
As he healed them both body and soul
As he gave up his life for God’s children
With his church, let it be so

Chorus:
Let it be so with your church, O God
We are your hands and feet
As Jesus bent low to serve in love
So with us let it be
So with us let it be

Verse 3:
Let us go with our Lord to the margins
To the broken, the poor and the lost
By His Spirit, we’ll push back the darkness
Let his church take up her cross 

Chorus

Bridge:
Come help us, Lord Jesus
To love as you loved (Oh, let it be so)
We remember your gospel
How you first loved us (Oh, let it be so)

To seek justice, love mercy
And care for the weak (Oh, let it be so)
To live now in light of
The kingdom we seek (Oh, let it be so)

Turn the Tables

Lyrics

Verse 1:
You exploit the ones who would worship
Use devotion to make a dime
Sell the sacred to turn a profit
Make the holy into merchandise

When all the world tries to get in the building
They can’t get in the door cause it’s
Overcrowded with goods and salesmen
In the holy house of the Lord

Verse 2:
Jesus comes in turning over tables
Flies into a righteous rage
Makes a whip and drives out the idols
He’s jealous for His Father’s name

When all the world tries to get in the building
He’ll stand like an open door ‘cause in
Three days gonna raise a signal
This way to the house of the Lord

Chorus:
Turn the tables, turn the tables over
Turn the tables, turn the tables over

Verse 3:
Do you want to make a cut on the story
Do you want to see your name in lights
Do you want a percentage of the glory
It’s not something you commodify

Don’t you know that your heart is a temple
He’s knocking down your door so
Let Him in and he’ll turn over tables
Make your heart a house for the Lord

Chorus 2x

Tag:
Turn the tables, turn the tables,
turn the tables over
Turn the tables, turn the tables,
turn the tables over

Who Is This Jesus?

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I saw his face shine like the sun, On the mountainside
Elijah and Moses were there, Pale in his glorious light
And a voice came like thunder 
And I trembled all over
Said “This, my beloved child.”
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?

Verse 2:
I saw him walk on the waves, I saw him still the storm
I saw the demons afraid, But the children safe in his arms
He said Lazarus rise up
Wake from your sleep
And his dead heart started to beat!
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?

Verse 3:
I leaned my head, back on his chest, For he was my friend
He poured the wine, he broke the bread, It was near the end
I saw them take him
Beat him, try to break him
And hang him on the cross

They laughed, they mocked him
He said “God, forgive them
It’s finished, now it is done!”

The sky black as ink
The earth shook with grief
As he breathed his last and was gone

Who is this Jesus? Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?

Verse 4:
I saw the stone rolled away
I saw his empty tomb
I saw the scars in his hands
There in the upper room

Be on the Lookout

Lyrics

Chorus:
Lift up your head
Be on the lookout
Wake from your bed
Don’t fall asleep

Lift up your head
He’s comin’ soon now
Get yourself ready
For the comin’ of the King

Verse 1:
Could a mother forget her children
Could a husband forget his wife?
How much more then, will he remember,
Will He come and set things right!

Chorus

Verse 2:
Cast aside all the works of darkness
Live as children of the day
Light your lamps and keep them burnin’
Till we see our bridegroom’s face

Chorus

Verse 3:
See those fields, they’re ripe for harvest
See the work that’s left undone
Take to the world his love and justice
Singin’ “let his kingdom come!”
Oh let his kingdom come!

Joy (As Far As the Curse Is Found)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Eternal God, there at the beginning
Stepping into time, into the world
All for love, the infinite descending
To kick inside the womb of a girl

Verse 2:
A king is born, far from any palace
Bending low to serve instead
Majesty, He’s given up his status
Robed in the weakness of the flesh

Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth

Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him
Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again

Verse 3:
Let’s go with the wise men
Laying down our treasures
Falling on our knees to give him praise
With the angel choir
Singing to the shepherds
Glory to God in the highest place

Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth
It’s worth!

Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him

Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again

Bridge:
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
(Joy to the world)

As far as the curse is found
(Let earth receive her king)
As far as the curse is found
(Let all creation sing)

As far as the curse is found
(And let his blessings flow)
As far as the curse is found
(Til the whole world knows!)

Only the Sick Need a Physician

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Who is this man who sits with the sinners
Who dines with the drunkards
And loves the unclean
Oh who is this man who won't cast a stone
But honors the harlot
Who washes his feet, sayin’

Chorus:
Come, scarlet letters
You outcasts and debtors
I will call you my friends
I'll sit at your table
You broken and fatal
‘Cause only the sick need a physician
Oooooh

Verse 2:
Who is this man who calls God a father
The son of a blue collar carpenter man
Who calls us unclean, like tombs full of bones
We keep our religion,but whitewash our sin
Sayin’ be born again

Chorus

Verse 3:
And what kind of God would hang on a tree
Despised and rejected and nailed to the wood
You saved all the others, but can’t save yourself?
We don’t need you Jesus,we’re well and we’re good
And you're nailed to the wood
We never understood
There is none who is good! So

He is Risen

Lyrics

He is risen, He is risen
And the stone is rolled away
He is risen, He is risen
Proven by the empty grave

Touch his wounds, his hands, his side
And leave all your doubts behind
He is risen, He is risen
He is risen and alive

Death is beaten, sin is vanquished
God’s just wrath is satisfied
Christ is risen, Christ exalted
Seated at the Father’s side

His body torn, our living way
Our living hope, His body raised
He is risen, He isrisen
He is risen from the grave

He is risen, He is risen
This is all my hope and stay
He is risen, He is risen
He is risen from the grave!

Jesus risen is returning
We are longing for the day
When the King will bring the kingdom
For this blessed hope we wait

The trumpet sounds and we are changed
And we will see him face to face
Jesus risen, Jesus risen
Jesus risen from the grave

The trumpet sounds and we are changed
And death itself will pass away
We are risen, with him risen
We are risen from the grave
