All my days I will sing this song of gladness,
Give my praise to the fountain of delights;
For in my helplessness You heard my cry,
And waves of mercy poured down on my life
I will trust in the cross of my Redeemer,
I will sing of the blood that never fails,
Of sins forgiven, of conscience cleansed,
Of death defeated and life without end.
Beautiful Saviour, wonderful Counsellor,
Clothed in majesty, Lord of history,
You're the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Star of the Morning, glorious in holiness,
You're the Risen One, Heaven's Champion,
And You reign, You reign over all!
I long to be where the praise is never ending,
Yearn to dwell where the glory never fades,
Where countless worshippers will share one song,
And cries of 'worthy' will honour the Lamb!
Beautiful Saviour, wonderful Counsellor,
Clothed in majesty, Lord of history,
You're the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Star of the Morning, glorious in holiness,
You're the Risen One, Heaven's Champion,
And You reign, You reign over all!
For the joys and for the sorrows,
The best and worst of times,
For this moment, for tomorrow,
For all that lies behind;
Fears that crowd around me,
For the failure of my plans,
For the dreams of all I hope to be,
The truth of what I am:
For this I have Jesus,
For this I have Jesus,
For this I have Jesus, I have Jesus.
For the tears that flow in secret,
In the broken times,
For the moments of elation,
Or the troubled mind;
For all the disappointments,
Or the sting of old regrets,
All my prayers and longings
That seem unanswered yet:
For this I have Jesus,
For this I have Jesus,
For this I have Jesus, I have Jesus.
For the weakness of my body,
The burdens of each day,
For the nights of doubt and worry,
When sleep has fled away;
Needing reassurance,
And the will to start again,
A steely-eyed endurance,
The strength to fight and win:
For this I have Jesus,
For this I have Jesus,
For this I have Jesus, I have Jesus.
There is strength within the sorrow,
There is beauty in our tears.
And You meet us in our mourning
With a love that casts out fear.
You are working in our waiting,
You're sanctifying us.
When beyond our understanding,
You're teaching us to trust.
Your plans are still to prosper,
You have not forgotten us.
You're with us in the fire and the flood.
You're faithful forever,
Perfect in love.
You are sovereign over us.
You are wisdom unimagined,
Who could understand Your ways?
Reigning high above the heavens,
Reaching down in endless grace.
You're the lifter of the lowly,
Compassionate and kind.
You surround and You uphold me,
And Your promises are my delight.
Your plans are still to prosper,
You have not forgotten us.
You're with us in the fire and the flood.
You're faithful forever,
Perfect in love.
You are sovereign over us.
(x2)
Even what the enemy means for evil,
You turn it for our good,
You turn it for our good and for Your glory.
Even in the valley You are faithful.
You're working for our good,
You're working for our good and for Your glory.
(Repeat)
Your plans are still to prosper,
You have not forgotten us.
You're with us in the fire and the flood.
You're faithful forever,
Perfect in love.
You are sovereign over us.
...You're faithful forever,
Perfect in love.
You are sovereign over us.
