Congrats! You finished your website! Here is your promised surprise! :) These are four song texts that could be used for SHP2! If you don't like any of them, tell me, and I'll work on them more tomorrow or on something new. If you think one or more of them is usable, great! Tell me that too. If they need tweaking, that can also happen. If I went totally the wrong direction, break it to me gently. We can write these even if they don't make it on this album! Anyway, surprise! Hope this a fun surprise. And also, I like you.
A Sinner, Lost, I Wander Long
A sinner, lost, I wander long
Aware, my heart, that I’ve done wrong
Fearing thy wrath, I seek to hide,
Afraid thy grace will pass me by
Chorus: Look now, and see! The Lord is here
All weary sinners he calls near
Aware, my heart, that I’ve done wrong
Fearing thy wrath, I seek to hide,
Afraid thy grace will pass me by
Chorus: Look now, and see! The Lord is here
All weary sinners he calls near
His mercies daily He renews
Whate’er He’s promised, He will do.
A sinner, weak, I need thy hand
To lift my face, to help me stand
I know not where to run for aid
But to the tomb where Christ was laid
A sinner, found, I weep for joy
Trusting at last death’s been destroyed
As justice to repentance calls,
Thy mercy meets me where I fall
A sinner, loved, by God’s good grace
My guilt and shame, He’s all erased
I find my fear is at an end
When on His mercy I depend
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hallelujah, Come Lord Jesus
Whate’er He’s promised, He will do.
A sinner, weak, I need thy hand
To lift my face, to help me stand
I know not where to run for aid
But to the tomb where Christ was laid
A sinner, found, I weep for joy
Trusting at last death’s been destroyed
As justice to repentance calls,
Thy mercy meets me where I fall
A sinner, loved, by God’s good grace
My guilt and shame, He’s all erased
I find my fear is at an end
When on His mercy I depend

Hallelujah, Come Lord Jesus
Hallelujah, Come Lord Jesus
Come, O long awaited day!
Tarry not, but come to meet us
Weary sinners watch and pray
Our weakness we know
Our failures we show
Come, Jesus, and do not delay!
With hope in the Father,
We're made sons and daughters
By mercy we're saved
Hallelujah! Come, Lord Jesus
Come, O long awaited day
When Jesus shall appear
Enthroned as King triumphant
The whole earth drawing near
The dead shall be raised
The Lord shall be praised!
We wait for that day without fear
For the Judge is our Savior
The King is our Maker
And Jesus is here
Hallelujah! Come, Lord Jesus
Come, O long awaited day
When our eyes shall see His face
All hurts be healed, all wars shall end
All that's crooked be made straight
For goodness and peace
They shall never cease
God is gracious, and holy, and true!
All eyes shall behold Him
All kingdoms extol Him
All things be made new
Hallelujah! Come, Lord Jesus

Hallelujah! Come, Lord Jesus

Isaiah 54
Fear ye not, nor be ashamed
The Lord of Lords calls you by name
You have been redeemed by One
Whom God the Father calls His Son
Peace He grants to you
For He makes all things new
Trust the Lord, in Him abide
Your Maker takes you as His bride
Though the mountains be removed
His love shall not depart from you
Surely you shall feel His peace
Though storms around seem ne’er to cease
His compassion and great love
Daily He’ll make you certain of
Do not fear those who oppress
Take heart and grow in righteousness
Terror shall no more be near
Fear ye not, nor be ashamed
The Lord of Lords calls you by name
You have been redeemed by One
Whom God the Father calls His Son
Peace He grants to you
For He makes all things new
Trust the Lord, in Him abide
Your Maker takes you as His bride
Though the mountains be removed
His love shall not depart from you
Surely you shall feel His peace
Though storms around seem ne’er to cease
His compassion and great love
Daily He’ll make you certain of
Do not fear those who oppress
Take heart and grow in righteousness
Terror shall no more be near
For God, your Savior, now is here.
