Lyrics
House of God, Forever
Verse
God is my shepherd
I won't be wanting
I won't be wanting
He makes me rest
In fields of green
With quiet streams
Even though I walk
Through the valley
Of death and dying
I will not fear
'Cause You are with me
You're always with me
Chorus
Your shepherd's staff comforts me
You are my Feast in the presence of enemy
Surely goodness will follow me, follow me
In the house of God forever
I Shall Not Want
Verse 1
From the love of my own comfort
From the fear of having nothing
From a life of worldly passions
Deliver me, O God
Deliver me, O God
Verse 2
From the need to be understood
From the need to be accepted
From the fear of being lonely
Deliver me, O God
Deliver me, O God
Chorus
And I shall not want
No, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness, I shall not want
Verse 3
From the fear of serving others
From the fear of death or trial
From the fear of humility
Deliver me, O God
Deliver me, O God
Chorus
And I shall not want
No, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness, I shall not want
And I shall not want
No, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
Come as You Are
Verse 1
Come out of sadness, from wherever you've been
Come broken-hearted, let rescue begin
Come find your mercy, O sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal
Chorus
So, lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you're not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Verse 2
There's hope for the hopeless, and all those who've strayed
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There's rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't cure
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't cure
Chorus
So, lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you're not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Bridge 1
Come to the table, from near and far
Come from the shadows, come out of the dark
There's room at the table, we saved you a seat
Come to the banquet, come join in the feast
Bridge 2
Come to the table, come eat and drink
There's no inner circle, come dine with the King
Recline at the table, come let down your guard
You're never a stranger, just come as you are
Bridge 3
Prepared is the table, we're ready to feast
The party is waiting, there's more still to feed
The harvest is ready, go fill every seat
Go live out the mission as a kingdom of priests
Go live out the mission as a kingdom of priests
Go live out the mission as a kingdom of priests
Sing to the lord (Banner)
Verse 1
Sing to the Lord a new song
Sing to the Lord, all the Earth
In the beauty of His holiness
The beauty of His holiness
Verse 2
Sing to the Lord a new song
Sing to the Lord, oh my soul
In the wonders of His mighty hand
The wonders of His mighty hand
Chorus
"Great is the Lord," we cry
"And greatly to be praised!"
Let every nation rise and say
"Our God reigns, our God reigns"
Verse 3
Sing to the Lord a new song
Worship the Lord evermore
In the glory of His majesty
The glory of His majesty
Chorus
"Great is the Lord," we cry
"And greatly to be praised!"
Let every nation rise and say
"Our God reigns, our God reigns"
Bridge
Your banner, Your banner
Over us is love, unfailing love . . .
