Just to be in Your presence
Just to dwell in Your holy place
Just to feel Your hand upon me
For this I give my life away
Oh that my lips may exalt Your righteous name forever
That my eyes may behold the beauty of Your courts
That my life may display Your kindness and mercy
As a servant in the house of the Lord
As a servant in the house of the Lord
For Your glory and for the Kingdom
For the pleasure of my Lord
Let my life be an offering
This will be my greatest reward
Oh that my lips may exalt Your righteous name forever
That my eyes may behold the beauty of Your courts
That my life may display Your kindness and mercy
As a servant in the house of the Lord
As a servant in the house of the Lord

Still, I Know (For Tedd)
Verse 1:
I have never seen Jesus with my own two eyes
I have never touched His nail-scarred hands or the wound in His side
My ears have never heard His voice speaking to me
No wondrous visions or supernatural dreams
Chorus:
Still, I know just what He’s like
Because I’ve seen His love and grace
His kindness, strength, and wisdom
In the way you’ve run your race
His features so unmistakable
Easy to recognize
And I love the Jesus I have seen
Shining through your life
Verse 2:
All of heaven and creation sing the Great Redeemer’s praise
Seraphim cry holy and cover up their face
Such majesty and glory in unapproachable light
It overwhelms and lies beyond the realm of human sight

Beyond the Veil
Verse 1:
Oh take me beyond the veil into Your most holy place
A hungry heart draws me near, that I might behold Your beautiful face
Oh Father, Jehovah Shammah
The bounds of Your mercy no tongue can tell
The closer I get the more I need You
Oh Spirit take me beyond the veil
Verse 2:
Oh take me beyond the veil into Your most holy place
Although I was unworthy Lord, by the blood of Your Son my sins are erased
Oh, Father, I come to Your altar
I lay there my life nothing withheld
And I bow my knees as Your glory surrounds me
Oh Spirit take me beyond the veil
Bridge:
For nothing on earth could ever be so sweet
As the joy that floods my soul when I'm sitting at Your feet
Verse 3:
Oh take me beyond the veil into Your most holy place
I count as lost all that was gain for the riches of Your bountiful grace
Oh Jesus, Sweet Intercessor
My Lord and my God Your love never fails
On Calvary's cross, You signed my pardon
That I might enter beyond the veil

Each Time

Each Time
Thank You for this bread
The symbol of Your body broken
The blows the stripes the thorns
You bore for my affliction
Though I'll never comprehend all that You went through
Each time I come to this table I will remember You
Thank You for this cup
And for the blood that was shed
By the perfect Holy Lamb
To purchase my forgiveness
Though I'll never comprehend all that You went through
Each time I come to this table I will remember You
With gratefulness and joy
I join with the redeemed
To honor the body and blood
And marvel at the amazing love
Of Jesus Christ my Lord and risen King
Though I'll never comprehend all that You went through
Each time I come to this table I will remember You

I Stand Amazed
Vs. 1
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.
Vs. 2
For me, it was in the garden
He prayed: "Not My will, but Thine."
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine.
[Chorus]
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful
Is my Savior's love for me!
Vs. 3
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone.
[Chorus]
Vs. 4
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I, at last, shall see,
'Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.
[Chorus]

His Name
03:27
|
|||
|
I saw heaven opened and beheld a white horse
The Rider seated upon it is righteous and waging war
His eyes are a flaming fire, upon His head are many crowns
Clothed in a robe dipped in blood, from His mouth a two-edged sword
And His name is called "The Word of God"
"King of kings and Lord of lords" is written on His side
With the armies of heaven He will judge the earth
And He will reign forever as Lord
I saw a new earth and heaven for the first had passed away
The New Jerusalem descends like. bride on her wedding day
And all our tears, pain, and sorrows are forever removed
As we sing unto the Faithful One who makes all things new
And His name is called "The Word of God"
"King of kings and Lord of lords" is written on His side
With the armies of heaven He will judge the earth
And He will reign forever as Lord
And His name is called "The Word of God"
"King of kings and Lord of lords" is written on His side
The ALPHA and OMEGA will return to rule the earth
And He will reign forever
Yes He will reign forever
He will reign forever as Lord

Sweet Holy Spirit
05:16
|
|||
|
Father in heaven You're the One my heart seeks after
Like the deep pants for the water so my soul pants after You
I stand here before You just to worship and adore You
For You alone are holy and worthy of all praise!
Jesus my Brother, my Lord and my Messiah
My one life's ambition is to know You as You are
Your blood makes me righteous let me grow up in Your likeness
That all may glorify You and proclaim that You are King!
Sweet Holy Spirit come and fill Your temple
We desire Your presence with all of our heart
Move now among us let Your holy fire consume us
'Till all self is forsaken and we love the world no more

One Foot
© 2023, Jeffery L. Stockford
VERSE 1
I prayed, I cried, I screamed, I tried
to do everything that I could, so you would be well
I quoted each verse but instead things only got worse
The heavens drowned out in my mind by the roaring of hell
VERSE 2
I felt lost, bruised, tossed, and confused
With a sorrow all my doctrine can’t reconcile
It’s raw it’s real but despite what I feel
I’ll let you go and know it’s only for a little while
PRE-CHORUS 1
As I tearfully kiss you, goodbye
I’ll refrain from asking God, “Why?”
CHORUS 1
And just keep putting one foot in front of the other,
With my unanswered questions through the darkest night
Believing His nail-scarred hands still hold me
‘Til I reach my home and faith is made sight
VERSE 3
God’s light through the black with the wind at my back
I am propelled into vistas of grace yet unexplored
What the cross has finished has not been diminished
God’s goodness still stands, and somehow my joy is restored
PRE-CHORUS 2
Your presence sooths and satisfies
So for now, I’ll put away all my “Whys”
Because He has taken away my sin
So, I know that I’ll see you again… till then
CHORUS 2
I’ll just keep putting one foot in front of the other,
With my unanswered questions through the darkest night
Knowing His nail-scarred hands still hold me
‘Til I reach my home and faith is made sight
CHORUS 3
I’ll keep putting one foot in front of the other,
With my unanswered questions through the darkest night
Believing His nail-scarred hands still hold me
‘Til I reach my home and faith is made sight
And everything will be made right
