1030   Ben Burge: The Twelve  (Matthew 10:1-8)

Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne,
While heaven's eternal anthem drowns
All music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who died to be
Your Saviour and your matchless King
Through all eternity.

Crown Him the Lord of life
Triumphant from the grave,
Who rose victorious from the strife
For those He came to save:
His glories now we sing
Who died and reigns on high;
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die.

Crown Him the Lord of love,
Who shows His hands and side
Those wounds yet visible above
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends His burning eye
At mysteries so bright.

Crown Him the Lord of peace
His kingdom is at hand;
From pole to pole let warfare cease
And Christ rule every land!
A city stands on high,
His glory it displays,
And there the nations 'Holy' cry
In joyful hymns of praise.

Crown Him the Lord of years,
The potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres
In majesty sublime:
All hail, Redeemer, hail,
For You have died for me;
Your praise shall never, never fail
Through all eternity!

We're going back in time to when the world began,
To when the earth was formed and God created man,
When everything was good and just as God had planned.
We're going back in time, see Noah build the ark,
See all the plagues of Egypt and the Red Sea part,
And watch the Israelites enter the promised land.

The future is a mystery, but we can see from history,
That God is in control of everything.
So when we face adversity, remember in the end we'll see,
That God is in control of everything.

We're going back in time to when He came to earth,
To hear the angels singing of a Saviour's birth,
To watch Him heal the sick and help the blind to see.
We're going back in time to when he bled and died,
To see the empty tomb "Yes, Jesus is alive!"
The greatest man who lived in all of history.

The future is a mystery, but we can see from history,
That God is in control of everything.
So when we face adversity, remember in the end we'll see,
That God is in control of everything.

The earth was dark until You spoke -
Then all was light and all was peace;
Yet still, O God, so many wait
To see the flame of love released.

Light of the world! O Light divine,
Kindle in us a mighty flame,
Till every heart, consumed by love
Shall rise to praise Your holy name!

In Christ You gave Your gift of life
To save us from the depth of night:
O come and set our spirits free
And draw us to Your perfect light.

Light of the world! O Light divine,
Kindle in us a mighty flame,
Till every heart, consumed by love
Shall rise to praise Your holy name!

Where there is fear may we bring joy
And healing to a world in pain:
Lord, build Your kingdom through our lives
Till Jesus walks this earth again.

Light of the world! O Light divine,
Kindle in us a mighty flame,
Till every heart, consumed by love
Shall rise to praise Your holy name!

O burn in us, that we may burn
With love that triumphs in despair;
And touch our lives with such a fire
That souls may search and find You there.

Light of the world! O Light divine,
Kindle in us a mighty flame,
Till every heart, consumed by love
Shall rise to praise Your holy name!

No longer mine Lord, but Yours
Whate'er the fight Lord, Your cause,
Let me have all things, let me have naught,
Take ev'ry word Lord, and ev'ry thought,
I gladly yield to Your command,
No longer mine, no longer mine, but Yours.

No longer mine Lord, but Yours,
To do with me as You desire.
To be exalted, or laid aside.
Take vain ambition, and selfish pride.
Let me be humbled, You glorified,
No longer mine, no longer mine, but Yours.

No longer mine Lord, but Yours,
The sovereign Lord who we adore.
We bow before You, our glorious King,
Our very lives, Lord, we freely bring.
A cov'nant human and Divine,
No longer mine, no longer mine, but Yours.
