Come Thou Fount
Robert Robinson, 1758. A.D.
Come Thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace.
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above.
I'll praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it;
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I come.
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God.
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee!
Prone to wander Lord I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love!
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above!
You Are Good
Israel Houghton & New Breed, 2012 A.D.
Lord, You are good
And Your mercy endureth forever!
Lord, You are good
And Your mercy endureth forever!
People from every nation and tongue
From generation to generation ...
We worship You!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
We worship You for who You are.
We worship You!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
We worship You for who You are.
You are Good!
You are good all the time!
All the time, You are good!
Everlasting God
William Murphy, 2016 A.D.
The Lord is my Light and salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
Of whom shall I be afraid? (x2)
I will wait on You, I will wait on You.
I will trust in You, I will trust in You.
I will remain confident in this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord. (x2)
We set our hope on You,
We set our hope on Your love,
We set our hope on the One
Who is the everlasting God!
You are the everlasting God!
You are the everlasting! (x3)
I will remain confident in this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord. (x2)
King of My Heart
John Mark & Sarah McMillan, 2015 A.D.
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,
And the echo of my days;
Oh, He is my song!
(Chorus)
You’re never gonna let,
Never gonna let me down!
