Life has been an incline
Toil so bittersweet
But when I look on Jesus
He makes it oh so sweet/
My pace has found its rhythm
My focus now complete
I’ve learned to look on Jesus
His love my strength to keep/
Through trials that strengthen
And grace all blessings flow
I humbly look on Jesus
Who lights my path below/
Life has been an incline
Toil so bittersweet
But when I look on Jesus
He makes it oh so sweet!
Jesus I belong to You
Nothing in this world will do
All my works I give to You
Use my life Your glory due/
There was a time I only knew
This homeless world my only view
Now touched by love completely new
Eternal home I found in You/
Jesus I belong to You
Nothing in this world will do
All my works I give to You
Use my life Your glory due/
Your loving gaze upon the earth
Seeking those whose hearts brand new
Turning from our works to You
Spirit, soul and body due/
Jesus I belong to You
Nothing in this world will do
All my works I give to You
Use my life Your glory due

Touch my eyes Lord that I may see
Your great will you’ve planned for me
Humbly I come on bended knee
Seeking Your will indwelt in me/
Take captive thoughts my mind set free
Submit my plans to a greater plea
That I would choose obedience be
A mind set free to soar with Thee!/
Triumphant One, who promised all
Eyes to see His highest call
Touch my eyes that I may see
Your great will you’ve planned for me!/
Triumphant One, O Shepherd King
Help me walk Thy Presence be
Your life, the Cross rose up for me
That I may live and soar with Thee!

Hallelujah
Hallelujah what a Savior
Hallelujah what a Friend
Hallelujah King of Glory
Born to save us from our sin!/
So loved the world that He created
Yearned to redeem us from the pit
Gave His only Son begotten
We are new creatures alive in Him!/
Hallelujah what a Savior
Hallelujah what a Friend
Hallelujah King of Glory
Born to save us from our sin!/
Life everlasting in His Presence
Born again to reign with Him
Left behind a world of sorrow
Jesus Christ is now my Friend!/
Hallelujah what a Savior
Hallelujah what a Friend
Hallelujah King of Glory
Born to save us from our sin!

Live For You
My anguished heart
Laid bare for You
As morning dawns
Now sings to You/
With heart bowed down
In humble praise
I raise my hands
Receive Your grace/
Entrust my heart
My life, my all
I give to You
Surrenders call/
To honor You
My whole life through
My highest praise,
To live for You.
My highest praise,
To live for You.

Yielded
I am yielded and free
Come pour Your love over me
I am yielded and free
Come pour your life over me/
No one can take my life
I give it willingly
No one can make me see
Thy Spirit who dwells in me/
God in me, filling me
Jesus, Lord over me
Spirit, creating in me
New life, gifted in Thee (repeat)/
I am yielded and free
Come pour Your love over me
I am yielded and free
Come pour Your life over me/
Yielded, free in Thee
Oh Jesus, yielded in Thee

A New Song
A song of triumph, a song of might
A song of glory in His delight
A song of faith, sent from above
A song anew, His faithful love/
My journey filled with arrows sharp
Firm bow arms limber, my Father taught
Unaware of life, my training ground
Would yield such strength, a victor’s crown/
My journey long, the valleys deep
Sometimes lonely, often weak
My path was lit, His Word my light
His promise sure, His power my might/
The spoil before me, a great reward
To Him this triumph, to heavens roar!
His Way, His Truth, His Life we prove
The One Most Holy, The One Most True/
A song of triumph, a song of might
A song of glory in His delight
A song of faith sent from above
A song anew, His faithful love
