Lyrics:

Behold, my servant whom I uphold,

My chosen one in whom my soul delights

Thus says the Lord who created the universe

I have made him a covenant and the nations light.

[Chorus]

He will reign in righteousness

And with justice will rule over all the earth.

Like the sun he will arise

With healing in his wings.

Behold, as the prophecy has foretold

The day is coming soon, burning like a fire.

But for those who fear and are blessed with the

ears to hear

The day of the coming King

Is their heart’s desire.

[Chorus  – 2X ]

He will reign in righteousness

And with justice will rule over all the earth.

Like the sun he will arise

With healing in his wings.

With healing in his wings!

Song: Jesus Said Go

Another Song of the Summit. This song borrows from the imagery of a 1st century wedding procession that moves through the countryside at night with torches burning and a celebration in motion. It’s not studio quality, but it captures the idea of the church being sent by the the Lord into the world to make disciples.

Lyrics

Jesus Said, Go!

Jesus said, Go! Travel by twos,

Walking together the path that I choose.

Then when you gather, your love will declare,

My kingdom come,

you will be one,

I will be there.

Jesus said, Go! Each do your part,

To build up the body, encourage each heart.

Each one a minister sent by the King,

A gift to bear,

a burden to share,

a new song to sing.

[Chorus]

A wedding procession, our people will be,

Bearing the torches of eternity,

A joyful river in darkness that flows

When Jesus says, go!

Jesus said, go! Do my commands.

Give hope to the hopeless and  lend them your hand.

Living and loving with hope for the lost.

Extend a hand,

whenever you can,

whatever the cost.

Jesus said, go! Into all the earth,

Making disciples, proclaiming new birth.

Wait for the Spirit to send you again.

Planting the church,

a place of new birth,

He’ll tell you when.

[Chorus]

A wedding procession, our people will be,

Bearing the torches of eternity,

A joyful river in darkness that flows

When Jesus says, go!

Songs of the Summit (1)

Jody and I are part of a network of home based churches called The Summit Fellowships. Over the years the Lord has given some songs in the groups so I thought I’d make one available from time to time. These are not professionally produced, but recorded “live” in living rooms and other informal venues so they are to be used mostly for reference in case you should want to sing them at church or in the shower. The lyrics follow each “podcast” of the songs. The songs are copyrighted to the source and to TwoWorlds Publishing.

Song: To You Who Fear the Lord (Malachi 3:16)

Lyrics
For you who fear the Lord
And speak often to each other.
The Lord has harkened and heard
And caused to be written.
(repeat)

A book of remembrance for you
For you who fear the Lord.
A book of remembrance for all who think on His name.
A book of remembrance for you,
For you who fear the Lord.
A book of remembrance for all who ponder his name.

(Chorus)
And they shall be mine,
Saith the Lord, Saith the Lord,
In the day that I make them my jewels I will spare them.
And they shall be mine saith the Lord, saith the Lord.
As a man spareth his son, his son who serveth him.
