Worship From The Threshing Floor

(sitting on the floor, nursing my wriggling toddler!) I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice To worship You, oh my soul rejoice Take joy, my King, in what You hear Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear

Be still my heart and know, You are God alone Stop thinking so much, And just let go Be still my soul and rest, Humbly I confess In my weakness, Your strength is perfect For You alone are God, There will be no other And You have won my heart, more than any other So I will give it all, ‘Cause You gave it all for me “Bless the Lord,” Oh my soul cries out All that is within me praise “Bless the Lord,” Oh my soul cries out All that is within me praise BE STILL, BETHEL MUSIC

Upon the hill on Calvary, He came from Heaven's throne. Our fallenness and mercy meet Where blood and water flow. What grace divine what selflessness, That Christ would bear the weight. Our proof is scarred on hands that bled That we were worth every nail. And all the praise and glory to God, We sing Hallelujah sing Hallelujah. For the King has carried the cross, He is risen from the grave. Beyond the tomb to holy skies He rose in victory. And bridged for us the great divide, His life is our liberty. It's Your love, It's Your love, It's Your love That has saved me. It's Your blood, It's Your blood, It's Your blood That has claimed me. IT'S YOUR LOVE, HILLSONG

I am guilty Ashamed of what I've done, what I've become These hands are dirty I dare not lift them up to the Holy One You plead my cause, you right my wrongs You break my chains, you overcome You gave your life, to give me mine You say that I am free How can it be? How can it be? I've been hiding Afraid I've let you down Inside I doubt, that you could love me But in your eyes, there's only grace now HOW CAN IT BE, LAUREN DAIGLE

I’m letting go I’m letting go I’m letting go Falling into you You remind me of things forgotten You unwind me until I’m totally undone And with Your arms around me Fear was no match for Your love And now You’ve won me LETTING GO, BETHEL MUSIC

Psalm 63:1-4 'O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You; My soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have gazed upon You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. So will I bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.'

When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You! You are my strength and comfort You are my steady hand You are my firm foundation; the rock on which I stand Your ways are always higher Your plans are always good There’s not a place where I’ll go, You’ve not already stood TRUST IN YOU, LAUREN DAIGLE

I have heard You call my name I have heard the song of love that You sing So I will let You draw me out beyond the shore Into Your grace, Your grace As Your love, in wave after wave Crashes over me, crashes over me For You are for us You are not against us Champion of Heaven You made a way for all to enter in You make me brave You make me brave You call me out beyond the shore into the waves You make me brave You make me brave No fear can hinder now the love that made a way YOU MAKE ME BRAVE, BETHEL MUSIC

Your love never fails, never gives up Never runs out on me On and on and on and on it goes It overwhelms and satisfies my soul And I never, ever, have to be afraid One thing remains   ONE THING REMAINS, JESUS CULTURE

Name above all names Worthy of all praise My heart will sing How great is our God How great is our God Sing with me How great is our God And all will see How great, how great is our God HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD, CHRIS TOMLIN

Spontaneous song based on part of 'Faithful to the end' (There wasn't a day that You weren't by my side, there wsn't a day that You let me fall. And all through my life Your love has been true. And all through my life... FAITHFUL TO THE END, BETHEL MUSIC)

I will sing of all You’ve done, I’ll remember how far You’ve carried me. From beginning until the end, You are faithful, faithful to the end. There wasn’t a day that You weren’t by my side, There wasn’t a day that You let me fall. All of my life, Your love has been true. All of my life, I will worship You. FAITHFUL TO THE END, BETHEL MUSIC

Oh, I've heard a thousand stories of what they think you're like, But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night, And you tell me that you're pleased And that I'm never alone. You're a Good, Good Father It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are, And I'm loved by you It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am. Oh, and I've seen many searching for answers far and wide, But I know we're all searching For answers only you provide Cause you know just what we need Before we say a word. Cause you are perfect in all of your ways, You are perfect in all of your ways to us. Oh, love so undeniable, I, I can hardly speak. Peace so unexplainable, I, I can hardly think. As you call me deeper still Into love, love, love GOOD GOOD FATHER, CHRIS TOMLIN

God I look to You, I won't be overwhelmed, Give me vision to see things like You do. God I look to You, You're where my help comes from, Give me wisdom; You know just what to do. I will love You Lord my strength, I will love You Lord my shield, I will love You Lord my rock. Forever, all my days, I will love You God. Hallelujah our God reigns, Hallelujah our God reigns, Hallelujah our God reigns, forever all my days, Hallelujah GOD I LOOK TO YOU, BETHEL MUSIC

Jesus, my passion in life is to know You May all other goals bow down to This journey of loving You more Jesus, You've showered Your goodness on me, Given Your gifts so freely, But there's one thing I'm longing for. Hear my heart's cry And my prayer for this life: Above all else, Above all else, Above all else Give me Yourself ABOVE ALL ELSE, VICKY BEECHING

Through it all, through it all, my eyes are on You. Through it all it is well. It is well with me. IT IS WELL, BETHEL MUSIC

I have a tendancy to ask God to help me, but then try to do things myself. In reality I don't really trust Him to do it, and so i don't wait for him, or allow Him. A friend and I were messaging about this subject this week and she spontaneously wrote out the beautiful prayer on today's podcast.

Grace, You’ve shown me grace, You’ve lifted my shame, Drawn me with loving kindness. Washed whiter than snow You have redeemed and made me whole. Jesus, You have won me. You have broken every Chain with love and mercy. You have triumphed over Death and You are worthy Of glory and praise. Love, You’ve shown me love By leaving Your throne By bleeding and dying on a cross, That wonderful cross That took all my guilt and sin away. YOU HAVE WON ME, BETHEL MUSIC

And I surrender to You Lord I'm yielding all I am to You You have Captivated me And I come to give my Devotion You are boundless mercy You are endless grace You are sweet forgiveness Ceaseless faithfulness Washing over me You are sovereign Father, You are healing King You are tender Saviour Righteous offering Poured out for me DEVOTION, KATHRYN SCOTT

It's always like springtime with You, making all things new. Your light is breaking through the dark. This love it is sweeter than wine, Bringing joy, bringing life. Your hope is rising like the dawn. This is what You do, this is what You do- You make me come alive. It's like I'm living for the first time, Finally living for the first time. THIS IS WHAT YOU DO, BETHEL MUSIC

You call me out upon the waters-the great unknown where feet may fail. And there I find You in the mystery. In oceans deep my faith will stand. Your grace abounds in deepest waters-Your sovereign hand will be my guide. Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me, You've never failed and you won't start now.

In the glory of Your presence I find rest for my soul. In the depths of Your love I find peace- Makes me whole. I love, I love, I love Your presence. I love, I love, I love Your presence. I love, I love, I love You Jesus. I love, I love, I love Your presence.

Voice recording of prayer. Reference to 2 Chronicles 20:12-22. 12 ... For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 15...This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. 17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you... 22 As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.

Be still my heart and know You are God alone; Stop thinking so much and just let go. Be still my soul and rest. Humbly I confess: in my weakness, Your strength is perfect.

I am the Lord your God, I go before you now. I stand beside you, I’m all around you. Though you feel I’m far away, I’m closer than your breath. I am with you, more than you know. I am the Lord your peace, no evil will conquer you. Steady now your heart and mind, come into My rest. Oh, let your faith arise, lift up your weary head. I am with you wherever you go. Come to Me, I’m all you need. Come to Me, I’m everything. Come to Me, I’m all you need. Come to Me, I’m your everything. I am your anchor, in the wind and the waves. I am your steadfast, so don’t be afraid. Though your heart and flesh may fail you, I’m your faithful strength. I am with you wherever you go.

So what could I say? And what could I do? But offer this heart, Oh God, Completely to you. I'll stand With arms high and heart abandoned, In awe of the one who gave it all. I'll stand, My soul, Lord to you surrendered. All I am is yours.

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters wherever You would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Saviour I will call upon Your name, keep my eyes above the waves. When oceans rise my soul will rest in Your embrace, for I am Yours and You are mine

You’ve brought me to the end of myself And this has been the longest road. Just when my hallelujah was tired You gave me a new song. I’m letting go, Falling into you. I confess I still get scared sometimes But perfect love comes rushing. And all the lies that screamed inside go silent The moment you begin. You remind me of things forgotten, You unwind me until I’m totally undone. And with Your arms around me Fear was no match for Your love And now You’ve won me.

Your love has ravished my heart and taken me over, taken me over. And all I want is to be with you forever, with you forever. So draw me a little closer, take me a little deeper, I want to know your heart, know your heart. Your love is so much sweeter than anything I've tasted. I want to know your heart, know your heart. How great your love is for me, how great your love is for me.

Here I am Down on my knees again, Surrendering all, Surrendering all. Find me here, Lord as You draw me near, Desperate for You, Desperate for You. Drench my soul, As mercy and grace unfold I hunger and thirst, I hunger and thirst. With arms stretched wide I know You hear my cry, Speak to me now, Speak to me now. I surrender, I surrender, I want to know You more, I want to know You more.

Grander earth has quaked before Moved by the sound of His voice. Seas that are shaken and stirred Can be calmed and broken for my regard. Through it all My eyes are on You. Through it all It is well. Far be it from me to not believe Even when my eyes can't see. And this mountain that's in front of me Will be thrown into the midst of the sea. So let go my soul and trust in Him-The waves and wind still know His name.

Here I am.

You breathe life, You restore. Awaken my soul, I know that I've been made for more. You speak truth, You renew. When I'm in Your presence You show me the glory of You. Spirit fall. Fall on us for we are Yours. You will make all things new. Until you return all creation cries out for you. There is power in Your presence, hope and healing in your presence. There is freedom in Your presence, Spirit fall.
