Lord, we beseech thee
Lord, we beseech thee
For the cares of our hearts are many
For the cares of our hearts are many
Child, release them to me
Child, release them to me
You don’t have to carry them anymore
I carried them on the cross I bore
And thy consolations cheer my soul
And thy consolations cheer my soul
For you have made my heart glad
The Lord says, You have made my heart glad
***Psalms 94:13

Many are the pangs of the wicked
Many are the pangs of the wicked
But steadfast love surrounds him
But steadfast love surrounds him
Who trusts in the Lord
Who trusts in the Lord
Be glad in the Lord
And rejoice, oh righteous
And shout, shout for joy
Shout, shout for joy
All you upright in heart

The Cemetery Song
No one can know me
Like you, Lord
Like you, oh Lord
No one is like you
No one can save me
Like you, Lord
Like you, oh Lord
No one is like you
No one can heal me
Like you, Lord
Like you, oh Lord
No one is like you
No one can love me
Like you, Lord
Like you, oh Lord
No one is like you
No one can wipe away the tears…
No one can take away the fear…
No one can put my heart at ease…
No one can bring me to my knees…
No one can fill all my needs…

I’ll be in love with you for eternity
Waiting for the day when you’ll come for me
I’ll be in love with you for eternity
Longing for the day when my eyes shall see
The one who has loved me right from the start
Now I give you my life, I give you my heart
And I’ll be in love for an eternity
I’ll be in love with you for eternity
Giving all to the one who has given to me
I’ll be in love with you for eternity
Holding on to the one who has made me free
No more fear, all my doubts will cease
Oh so much joy and oh so much peace
Just to be with my Lord for an eternity
I’ll be in love with you for eternity
Heaven’s so near, it’s so real to me
I’ll be in love with you for eternity
No matter how I feel your love is part of me
All the saints gathered ’round the throne
Together forever to call it our home
And we shall be with Lord for an eternity

I will dance unashamed before my Lord, God, and King
Giving glory to the Father, I will give everything
I will walk unashamed before my Lord, God, and King
Giving glory to the Father, I will give everything
I will walk without fear before my Lord, God, and King
Giving glory to the Father, I will give everything
…
To the praise of his name

Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer
And showing you care for me
Thank you, Lord, for being so good
And loving me faithfully
I’ve received the hope you gave to me
I’ve received the gift of your son
I’ve received the love that set me free
‘Cause I believe that you’re the one
Who created my life
Who created this world
Who made all things by your right hand
Who’s redeeming my life
By the blood of your son
And made my heart to understand
That you are my father
And I am your child
And forever it will be
I have a purpose
And you have a plan
For all eternity
Thank you, Lord, for all that you are
And all that you’re going to be
Thank you, Lord, for hearing my heart
And keeping your faith in me
I will sing my praises to you
I will sing of what you have done
I will sing of all your glory
‘Cause I believe that you’re the one
