    Lyrics for "A Hymn To Our Father"

    Psalm 147a.

    You number the stars

    And give each one a name

    You send clouds to cover the sky

    You water the earth with gentle rains

    Gentle rains

    And in Your heart, O God

    We will never be forgotten

    We are Your children

    And You are the Father

    Chorus:

    Our Father

    We love You

    You are so good to us

    All Your mercy

    All Your goodness

    Has surrounded us in love

    Our Father

    We love You

    You are so good to us

    All Your goodness

    All Your mercy

    Has surrounded us in love

    You look down from heaven

    You see the broken hearts

    Our great physician, You bind up our wounds

    With gentle care, gentle care

    And in Your heart, O God

    We will never be forgotten

    We are Your children

    And You are the Father

    Chorus:

    Our Father

    We love You

    You are so good to us

    All Your goodness

    All Your mercy

    Has surrounded us in love

    Our Father

    We love You

    You are so good to us

    All Your goodness

    All Your mercy

    Has surrounded us in love

    Lyrics to "By the God of Jacob We Are Blessed"

    Verse 1)

    I will not trust in earthly kings

    Their breath departs, like fleeting things

    Their only strength is the strength of man

    Who returns to the dust, along with his plans

    My hope is anchored deep in You

    You breathe new life, Your word is truth

    And You, You formed the world, and made it right

    Entered into the dark, and brought the light

    Chorus

    By the God of Jacob

    We are blessed

    O Christ, You execute justice

    For the oppressed

    Oh Christ the King

    You reign forever

    Our tongues confess

    As we sing together

    By the God of Jacob

    We are blessed

    Lord, You still set the prisoners free

    You still opened the eyes of the blind

    You still lift up the fallen

    You feed the hungry, the Lord provides

    So let all creation praise Your name

    Your goodness and mercy, forever the same

    Oh, hallelujah, let our voices raise

    For in You (the Lord) alone, we find our endless praise.

    Lyrics to "The Eyes of All Look to You"

    The eyes of all look to you

    And You give them their food in due season

    You open up Your hand, and satisfy

    The desire of every living thing

    To all those who are falling

    Almighty God upholds you

    To all who are bowed down

    The Lord will raise you up

    Chorus:

    You are near

    To all who call upon You

    And You hear

    The voice of all who fear You

    Oh bless the Lord

    Hallelujah

    Let all flesh bless Your name

    Forever and ever.

    You preserve all who love You, in Your mercy

    And all Your saints shall bless Your holy name

    Your kingdom O Lord, is everlasting

    Your promises are faithful and kind

    To all those who are falling

    Almighty God upholds you

    To all who are bowed down

    The Lord will raise you up

    Hallelujah

    To the Father and the Son

    Chad Bird

    Lyrics to "It's Your Kindness"

    Humble me O Lord

    When my heart is proud

    Let the righteous strike me

    If I follow the crowd

    A word from my sister

    In and out of season

    To save me from danger

    Because my spirit needs it


    Chorus

    I need kindness

    An act of a friend

    Keeping watch

    Over the door of my lips

    Turn my eyes away

    From the trap of temptation

    By your grace, turn my eyes

    Back to You

    By your grace, O Christ, turn my eyes

    Back to You

    Can I sit at the table

    If I hate correction

    If I cannot tell evil

    Or the fruit of deception

    Let me love the Word of truth

    And Your word of reproof

    From a stranger or a friend

    As though it came from You

    Bring me to the table

    By the hand my friend

    Don’t let me wander

    To the bitter end

    Lyrics to Hold Back the Flood:

    Deliver me from evil ; and
    apreserve me, from myself

    The traps are laid, the words are said, and the waters rise

    Your hands O Lord can save me

    From the hands of those who surround

    Within and without

    I’ve no strength for the fight

    While my life is going down

    Turn back the waters

    Send them away

    Guard me from evil

    And hear when I pray

    Hold back the flood

    Hold back the flood

    Hold back the flood

    Hold back the flood

    You covered my head

    You covered my sin

    In the day of battle, Your mercy wins.

    You carried the cross, for the poor and afflicted,

    To bring justice for the needy,

    And straighten the twisted

    Turn back the waters

    Send them away

    Guard me from evil

    Lord. hear when I pray

    Hold back the flood

    Hold back the flood

    Hold back the flood Hold back the flood

    Chad Bird

    Lyrics for "Stretch Out Your Hand"

    My sleep had fled from my eyes

    I hid, alone in the darkness

    Like one who cannot be found

    I was thinking You wanted to harm us

    Stretch out Your hand

    Stretch out Your hand

    Lord have mercy

    Lord have mercy

    (Chorus)

    By Your mercy

    You call me by name

    By Your mercy

    Its the end of my shame

    By Your mercy

    You are the Christ, my Lord, my God

    And I am your servant

    Everything changed

    By Your mercy

    Let me hear Your voice in the morning

    I can rest in Your steadfast love

    Lord, You know how I thirst for you

    Like the dry land under the sun

    Stretch out Your hand

    Stretch out Your hand

    Lord have mercy

    Lord have mercy

    For the enemy has pursued my soul;

    he has crushed my life to the ground;

    he has made me sit in darkness like those long counted as dead

    Stretch out Your hand

    Stretch out Your hand

    Lord have mercy

    Lord have mercy

    Chad Bird

    Lyrics for "From Eternity Past"

    In the dark

    You knew me

    Before I was cast

    You called me

    Your thoughts of me

    Are even more, than the sands of the sea

    The sands of the sea

    Chorus

    From eternity past

    You planned me

    From darkness to light

    From blindness to sight

    From eternity past

    You chose me

    I was not hidden from You

    I was not hidden from You

    In the dark

    You loved me

    You saved me

    Every breath

    I need You

    Before I could see

    You came for me

    Your redeeming love

    Is too wonderful, too wondrous for me

    Like the sands of the sea

    Search me, O God, and know my heart

    Try me and know my thoughts

    And see if there be any grievous way in me,

    and lead me in the way

    Lead me in the way

    Everlasting, everlasting, everlasting

  • Psalm 139 shows us God's loving care, for looking after us wherever we are. Chad quotes from Francis Thompson's Hound of Heaven, "How little worthy of any love thou art! Save Me, save only Me? I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I fled Him, down the arches of the years." Colin Henirch sings "Redeeming Love".

    Lyrics for "Redeeming Love"

    Psalm 139a.

    If I take the wings of morning

    If I dwell in the deepest part of the sea

    The dark is as bright as light to you

    And you are always there with me

    O my Lord, you alone have searched me

    There is nothing you don't already know

    You know my thoughts from far away

    You surround me as I come and as I go

    (Chorus)

    Where can I hide?

    You will always find me

    Where can I run?

    You’re already there

    I want You to find me

    I want to be found

    In Your redeeming love

    In Your redeeming love

    You alone created my being

    You formed me in my mother’s womb

    I have been so wonderfully made

    I’ve never been hidden from you

    (Chorus)

    Where can I hide?

    You will always find me

    Where can I run?

    You’re already there

    I want You to find me

    I want to be found

    In Your redeeming love

    In Your redeeming love

    Lyrics to "Human Hands"

    Psalm 135bs Human hands make idols Human hands don’t make God Human hands make idols Human hands don’t make God The idols don’t hear me The idols don’t see me They don’t have any feeling They're made by human hands I don’t trust them But I trust in You Your hands were pierced And your word is true You name lives on You took my sin Forgave me, and Put Your Spirit within The idols of the nations Will never hear, Will never comfort Never calm the fear Those who bow down to them Lose their feeling Lose their hearing Lose their soul I don’t trust them But I trust in You Your hands were pierced And your word is true You name lives on You took my sin Forgave me, and Put Your Spirit within

    Lyrics to "I Know That the Lord is Great"

    You send the wind

    The clouds and rain

    You send forth justice

    And You send forth pain

    Whatever You please

    Whatever You wish

    You alone can do

    And It is good

    Chorus

    For I know the Lord is great

    above all gods

    Christ reigns as King

    Forever and ever

    And You provide

    Every loving, perfect gift

    Whatever You please

    Whatever You wish

    Whatever You please

    It is good

    Kings and kingdoms

    You raise them up

    And strikes them down

    And give us their land

    And we fill Your temple

    To praise the Lord

    For His power and grace

    I will praise His name

    I know the Lord is great

    I know the Lord is great

  • Verses 1 and 2 kind of say it all;

    O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;
    my eyes are not raised too high;
    I do not occupy myself with things
    too great and too marvelous for me.
    2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
    like a weaned child with its mother;
    like a weaned child is my soul within me

    We rest in the loving care of the God who has limitless love for His children, because of the work done on our behalf by our loving Savior. Rest for the weary, hope for the downcast and food for the soul.

  • In this episode we see the Levites stationed at the temple of the Lord, under the stars, singing praise to the Lord. This is the climax of the Psalms of Ascent, and is also a fitting analogy for our walk of faith, that ends in celebration and praise in the eternal city of God, the new Jerusalem.

    But You satisfy the poor

    With bread forevermore

    The horn the light the crown

    Your face that shines with love

    Chorus:

    Thy will be done

    Thy will be done

    Cause I don’t know what else to say

    You are the Truth, You are the Way

    Thy will be done

    Thy will be done

    I place my trust into Your hands,

    Thy will be done

  • In part 1 of this 2 part Psalm, we see David planning to build a temple for God. But God has better things in mind. Once again we that every good thing begins with God. We can offer nothing to God except our trust. Colin Heinrich sings "Come and Rest"

    Lyrics for "Come and Rest"

    I will not give sleep to my eyes
    or slumber to my eyelids,
    until I find a place for the Lord,
    a dwelling place for the Mighty One

    I will not enter my house
    or get into my bed,

    Chorus:

    Come and rest

    Clothe me in Your righteousness

    You make me a place for You, my Lord to dwell

    Come, and rest here

    Don’t turn your face away

    Come, and rest here

    Don’t turn your face away

    From Your temple

    For I am Your temple

    So many have gone here before

    Stones upon a stone united

    Let us go up to Your house
    and worship as one at Your great throne

    Arise, O Lord, and go to your resting place,

    Chorus:

    Come and rest

    Clothe me in Your righteousness

    Make me a place for You, my Lord to dwell

    Come, and rest here

    Don’t turn your face away

    Come, and rest here

    Don’t turn your face away

    From Your temple

    For I am Your temple

  • Many of us were raised to admire the lone hero, self sufficient, independent and strong. Chad looks at this short but profound Psalm and searches the riches of community and brotherhood.

    The wonderful Ryan Delmore sings "It Is Good".

    Lyrics to "It Is Good"

    It’s not good that we should be apart

    Cut off alone, starvation of the heart

    Had it not been for others

    I’d be desperate and alone

    No family or friends

    And lost without a home

    To all my brothers and sisters

    Forgiven in the Lord

    Chorus:

    I need you

    You need me

    And we all need each other

    Thank you God

    For the chance

    To share His love

    with one another

    Behold, behold it is good

    Annointing of oil

    Like blessing flowing down

    Like dew on the mountains

    Your grace flows all around

    United with the Son

    We share the Father’s love

    Forgiven and forgiving

    With mercy from above

    To all my brothers and sisters

    Forgiven in the Lord

    To every generation

    Your children near and far

    United in His blessing

    Of life forevermore

    Behold, behold it is good

    Behold, behold it is good

    Your God is too Glorious, 2nd Edition by Chad Bird

    Lyrics to "I'm Waiting"

    You were born in the darkness of night

    And pursued by evil men

    Hated, rejected and despised

    You were mocked, and put to death

    Out of the depths you speak to me

    Do not fear

    I will never leave You

    Out of the depths you speak to me

    Do not fear

    I will never forsake You

    If You counted all my sins

    I could never stand before You

    But I don’t hope in myself

    I hope in Your Word

    Chorus:

    I’m Waiting, I cry to You

    I’m waiting, all my hope is in You

    Waiting, I cry to You

    I’m waiting, all my hope is in You

    You came out of the depths

    I live in the darkness of night

    I’m on the run, and I call to You

    I feel hated, rejected and despised

    I pray that You will make all things new

    Out of the depths you speak to me

    Do not fear

    I will never leave You

    Out of the depths you speak to me

    Do not fear

    I will never forsake You

    If You counted all my sins

    I could never stand before You

    But I don’t hope in myself

    I hope in Your Word

    Lo You are with me always

    To the end of time

    Lo You are with me always

    To the end of time

  • Psalm 40

    David declares his innocence in this Psalm. He declares that he has done nothing wrong. Chad addresses this action in explaining our position in Christ as we pray. Esther Mylar sings a beautiful song from the text. Chad explains that God is for us and we can speak with boldness and confidence. We are encouraged by this wonderful text to trust God enough where we can speak honestly to Him without shame. Also, Join Chad Bird for “A Bible in One Year”
