RETREAT WORSHIP LYRICS

Be Thou My Vision – St. Dallan Forgaill

[Verse 1]
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light

[Verse 2]
Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with thee one

[Verse 3]
Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure thou art

[Verse 4]
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all

Graves to Gardens – Elevation Worship

[Verse 1]
I searched the world
But it couldn’t fill me
Man’s empty praise
and treasures that fade
Are never enough

[Verse 2]
Then You came along
And put me back together
And every desire is now satisfied
Here in Your love

[Chorus]
Oh there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord there’s nothing, nothing is better than You

[Verse 3]
I’m not afraid
To show You my weakness
My failures and flaws
Lord You’ve seen them all
And You still call me friend

[Verse 4]
‘Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley
There’s not a place
Your mercy and grace
Won’t find me again

[Chorus]

[Bridge 1]
You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You’re the only one who can

[Bridge 2]
You turn graves into gardens
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You’re the only one who can
You’re the only one who can

Great Things – Phil Wickham

[Verse 1]
Come let us worship our King
Come let us bow at His feet
He has done great things
See what our Savior has done
See how His love overcomes
He has done great things
He has done great things

[Chorus]
Oh, hero of Heaven, You conquered the grave
You free every captive and break every chain
Oh God, You have done great things
We dance in Your freedom, awake and alive
Oh Jesus, our Savior, Your name lifted high
Oh God, You have done great things

[Verse 2]
You’ve been faithful through every storm
You’ll be faithful forevermore
You have done great things
And I know You will do it again
For Your promise is “Yes and amen” You will do great things
God, You do great things

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Hallelujah God, above it all
Hallelujah God, unshakable
Hallelujah, You have done great things
Hallelujah God, above it all
Hallelujah God, unshakable
Hallelujah, You have done great things
You’ve done great things

[Chorus]

[Outro]
You have done great things
Oh God, You do great things

Have it All – Bethel Music

[Chorus]
You can have it all, Lord
Every part of my world
Take this life and breathe on
This heart that is now Yours
You can have it all, Lord
Every part of my world
Take this life and breathe on
This heart that is now Yours

[Verse 1]
Oh, the joy I’ve found
Surrendering my crowns
At the feet of the King
Who surrendered everything

[Verse 2]
And oh, the peace that comes
When I’m broken and undone
By Your unfailing grace
I can lift my voice and say

[Chorus]

[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
There is no greater call
Than giving You my all
I lay it all down
I lay it all down
There is no greater love
No higher name above
I lay it all down
I lay it all down
[Repeat]

[Chorus]

His Mercy Is More – Matt Papa

[Verse 1]
What love could remember, no wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all-knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

[Chorus]
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn’
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

[Verse 2]
What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father so tender is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment His life was the cost
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

[Chorus]

In Christ Alone – Keith Getty

[Verse 1]
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

[Verse 2]
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

[Verse 3]
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

[Verse 4]
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

King of Kings – Hillsong Worship

[Verse 1]
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope, without light
Till from heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets
To a virgin came the word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt

[Chorus]
Praise the Father praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings

[Verse 2]
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake you died

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored

[Verse 4]
And the church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel, shall not faint
By His blood and in His name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Praise forever to the King of Kings

King Of My Heart – Bethel Music

[Verse 1]
Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from
Oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, He is my song

[Chorus]
‘Cause You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh

[Verse 2]
Let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh, He is my song

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You’re never gonna let
You’re never gonna let me down
[Repeat Multiple Times]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
When the night is holding on to me
God is holding on
When the night is holding on to me
God is holding on

Lord, I Need You – Matt Maher

Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You’re the One that guides my heart

[Chorus]
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

[Verse 2]
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay

[Chorus]

The More I Seek You – Kari Jobe

[Verse]
The more I seek you
The more I find you
The more I find you
The more I love you

[Chorus]
I want to sit at your feet
Drink from the cup in your hand
Lay back against you and breathe
Feel your heartbeat
This love is so deep
Its more than I can stand
I melt in your peace
Its overwhelming

More Than Conquerors – Rend Collective

[Verse 1]
When my hope and strength is gone
You’re the one who calls me on
You are the life
You are the fight
That’s in my soul

[Verse 2]
Oh, Your resurrection power
Burns like fire in my heart
When waters rise
I lift my eyes
Up to Your throne

[Chorus]
We are more than conquerors, through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in Your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God, our Conqueror

[Verse 3]
I will sing into the night
Christ is risen and on high
Greater is He
Living in me
Than in the world

[Verse 4]
No surrender, no retreat
We are free and we’re redeemed
We will declare
Over despair
You are the hope

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Nothing is impossible
Every chain is breakable
With You, we are victorious
You are stronger than our hearts
You are greater than the dark
With You, we are victorious
[Repeat 2x]

[Chorus]

And what could I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God

Where I’m Standing Now – Phil Wickham

[Verse 1]
Out of the wilderness
Into Your deliverance
Look where I’m standing up
These hands that once were chained
Now lifted high in praise
Look where I’m standing up
Look where I’m standing now

[Chorus]
I stand on the chain-breaking,
miracle-making, powerful name of Jesus
On the body-raising, prodigal-saving,
powerful name of Jesus

[Verse 2]
Let by Your mighty hand
Into the promised land
Look where I’m standing now
You carried the cross for me
Now I am a child of the King
Look where I’m standing now
Look where I’m standing now

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Hallelujah, I’m free
Hallelujah, I’m free
Jesus, my Savior rescued me
[Repeat Multiple]

Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me – CityAlight

What gift of grace is Jesus, my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace

[Chorus 1]
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to His
Oh, how strange and divine, I can sing: All is mine!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

[Verse 2]
The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Saviour He will stay
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed

To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley, He will lead
Oh, the night has been won, and I shall overcome
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

[Verse 3]
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave

To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh, the chains are released, I can sing: I am free!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

With every breath, I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne

All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!

[Outro]
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
