“NEW DAY DAWNING” PROJECT

WHEN THE MORNING BREAKS

V1:

Though the battle rages long and on into the night

There's a hope to help us cope, we'll not give up the fight

Darkness and despair will no longer have to bear

When the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair

Chorus:

When the morning breaks, eternal bright and fair

All the soldiers of the cross, will gather over there

All our sorrows will be gone, as the night gives way to dawn

When the morning breaks eternal bright and fair

V2:

No more stormy mornings no more clouds up in the sky

No more fears and no more tears will ever dim our eyes

What a joy will come when we see the risen Son

We'll stand and shout, praise God the victory's won

HE LEFT IT ALL

V1:

He didn't bring an army to help Him on His way

He didn't bring an angel to praise him night and day

He didn't bring one piece of gold to buy some food to eat

Instead, He turned and laid it all, at His father's feet

Chorus:

He left it all, to rescue me, He left it all, to die on Calvary

He left it all, not one comfort did He bring

Not His robe, not His crown, Not ten thousand bowing downing

Not one piece of jasper wall, He left it all

V2:

This man they're crucifying, He says He is a king,

But judging from the clothes He wears, He doesn't own one thing

But little did they know that day, As His blood came streaming down

He owned the sun, the stars and the moon, He even owned the ground

Rodney Griffin / Songs of Greater Vision / BMI

A GREATER YES

V1:

It starts with a desire, planted deep within your heart

You pray in faith, and wait for God to move

Time passes and you wonder

Did He hear me when I called?

Should I even have prayed that prayer at all

Chorus:

You never pray a prayer, your Father will not answer

He can't ignore His child's earnest request

While you're waiting and believing

For what you thought was best

Trust God if He says no….. You're still Blessed

There must be a greater yes

V2:

There comes a time when child-like faith

Must graduate to trust

Trials come and you're convinced you're on your own

But the teacher's often silent

During the hardest test

But He'll answer when It's time with what is best

Bridge:

Sometimes God will answer - just like we prayed

Then other times what's on His mind

Is a better plan, a another way, a greater yes

NEW DAY DAWNING

V1:

I'm gonna sit by the crystal river,

Dangle my feet in the cool clear blue

I'm gonna sit with the saints and angels,

I'm gonna be there how about you

Chorus:

I'm gettin ready for a new day dawning,

I'm gettin ready for a brand new morning

Packin' my bags for a heavenly journey,

I can't wait to be there, no I can't wait to be there

V2:

I've got a lot of old friends and loved ones,

Some already have gone before

Hand in hand we'll tour that city,

Then we'll kneel at the feet of our Lord

NEVERTHELESS

V1:

Broken and battered on life's angry sea,

Desperate and dying in sin's misery

I was hopeless and helpless to merit God's grace

Unworthy, unholy with judgment to pay

Chorus:

Nevertheless, Christ loved me,

Nevertheless, He died in my place

He traded my failures for His righteousness,

And bought my salvation, nevertheless

V2:

Jesus, Jehovah the King of all kings,

Master and maker of everything

He is sinless and spotless the Unblemished One

He knew I was nothing, lost and undone

THANK YOU SAYS IT BEST

V1:

As I count my many blessings Lord

And name them one by one, I am amazed

I feel so undeserving of the love, you bestow on me each day

My heart is overflowing with many things I wish I could express

Though my gratitude inside I can't describe

Thank you says it best

Chorus:

Thank you for the price you paid on Calvary

For a sinner such as I

Thanks for every time that you spoke peace,

When my storm was raging high

Lord, I'll never understand just why you love me,

And why I am so blessed

When my words have failed me Lord I find,

Thank you says it best

V2:

I can't forget the times that you've shown mercy

When I knew I had done wrong

And I remember how you carried me, when I just could not go on

And I recall how faithful you have been, in my hour of distress

Though I can't fully convey my gratefulness,

Thank you says it best

HEAVEN’S LAMB

V1:

I was a pilgrim walking thru a dusty barren land

Searching for the way that leads home

And through my hesitation and my desperation

I realized my soul was lost

Then I surrendered my will and my heart

Salvation came to me by the way of the cross

Chorus:

There is a road leading to Golgatha's Hill

Where grace walked from that battlefield Victorious

And the blood still flows

Redemption through the Savior's hand

Mercy's only way to fallen man

Was Heaven's Lamb

V2:

You may be burdened

by a sinful past that holds you down

it's chained around your heart and hope

You walk through life alone

Draggin all the sin you've known

You can't escape the cold and dark

Jesus is waiting with healing in His arms

He can save you now no matter where you are

Monty Lane Allen / Kenzie Gray Music/BMI

WHEN I RESTED IN THE LORD

V1:

Trying to cope with the pressures of life

Left me with weary days and sleepless nights

I searched for the answer, not knowing the question

I was running fast, but in the wrong direction

In desperation, I fell to my knees

And surrendered to the voice calling come unto me

Chorus:

My soul found peace when I rested in the Lord

I drank from the fountain, where living water poured

His mercy covered me and His grace made me restored

My soul found peace when I rested in the Lord

V1:

Just like the woman Jesus met at the well

My past was cluttered with the places I'd failed

And justice for me would be His condemnation

Instead, He offered me the way of salvation

I traded the ruins of a wasted life,

For a yoke that is easy and a burden that's light

I WONDER IF YOU KNOW

V1:

I wonder if he knew, when he sailed away from Troas

This trip of his would someday change the world,

I wonder if he knew that one day he'd be known as

The apostle who left it all to serve the Lord,

I wonder if Paul knew, with every shipwreck and each trial

As he wrote the details down for all to see,

Every sacred line would become the Holy Bible

Be passed on down till it found it's way to me.

Chorus:

I wonder if he knew how important he was

To fulfill the Father's plan, To get the gospel to us

And I wonder if he knew, There'd be millions that would follow

If he would just preach to the few, I wonder if he knew

V2:

I wonder if you know when you rose up from your pillow

The Father knew the lives you'd touch today,

I wonder if you know through eyes filled with sorrow

Their watching you though they don't know your name,

I wonder if you know the footprints you are leaving

May be the steps they'll follow to the thrown,

And just behind their smile, there's a broken heart that's grieving

In search of lasting peace to call their own.

Chorus:

I wonder if you know how important you are

To fulfill the Father's plan to get the gospel to all

And I wonder if you know, they'll be many that will follow

If you will just share as you go; I wonder if you know

Jesus waits in Heaven looking to the earth below

There's something he is saying, something he wants you to know

To know…

He says… I want you to know how important you are

To fulfill the Father's plan to get the gospel to all

And I want you to know they'll be many that will follow

If you will just share as you go

I want you to know, I want you to know

Jesus wants you to know

GRAND OPENING

V1

Heaven's full of brand new mansions, Jesus went to prepare

And He's promised when He's finished, We could move right in up there

The final touches have been made, The banner's hoist to wave

Any day the clouds will roll back, The church will walk right through the gate

Chorus:

Grand Opening Soon - Welcome one and all

From high upon the housetops inside the grave they'll hear the call

To our brand new relocation, Beyond the stars and the moon

We'll rise to the occasion of that Grand Opening Soon

V2:

The tomb received His body, When the Father hid His face

Hell rejoiced in triumph, As the stone was rolled in place

But life wasn't out of business, Only temporarily closed

Heaven had Grand Opening on the third day when he arose

THANK GOD FOR GRACE

V1:

I have seen the ruined lives of millions bound by sin

I have seen those in the ghetto, with a bottle in their hand

Yet I know, this could be me, I could in that same place

But I'm washed and redeemed, I thank God for grace

Chorus:

Unworthy of mercy, yet I'm free and saved

Unworthy of royal blood, that flows through my veins

If not for Calvary, where would I be today

I was blind now I see, I thank God for grace

V2:

Nothing good I have done, to deserve this grace I found

I was lost as could be, when His hand reached way down

Where once I had nothing, I now have everything

Oh, I thank God for grace, that saved a wretch like me

Bridge:

Grace, grace, God's grace

Grace that is greater than all my sin

Sandy Blythe / Jeff Whisnant Music / BMI

HE KNOWS MY NAME

V1:

There have been times when often I wondered

As I walk this narrow way

Could the Lord hear me, would He answer

Did He even know my name

But I discovered the moment I called Him

He's been faithful, always true

The answer I need is ever awaiting

By His hand He leads me through

Chorus:

He knows my name and he sees my every need

He picks me up, praise the Lord he hears my plea

He is my hope, and the rock on which I stand

He knows my name and He holds my hand

V2:

As a weary pilgrim during this journey

I have been in need of strength

So I call the Master who's been faithful

To supply what e're I need

There's never a moment He's too busy

And won't help me when I pray

He is always waiting, ready and able

Praise the Lord, He knows my name
