What Love My God – Sunday Songs

What Love My God is from CityAlight’s album Only A Holy God.

The lyrics:
1.
What love my God would bring you down to earth
What king would take a low and lonely birth
Yet to this dark and broken place you came
To sleep beneath the stars that you had made
2.
What love my God would send the Way of Life
To walk the road, rejected and despised
That you might know the weakness I possess
And be my rock of strength and righteousness
Refrain.
O Your love my God like a flood
As heaven opened up pouring out on us
O praise the King who came to the world
In his love like a mighty flood
3.
What love my God could hold you to the tree
To bear that overwhelming debt for me
The Son of heaven leaves the Father’s side
The Healer bleeds, the Life was made to die
Refrain.
4.
What love my God, so gracious and extreme
Was strong enough to come and fight for me
To go through hell and down into the grave
And raise me up to see you face to face
You raise me up to see you face to face
Refrain.
Repeat refrain.

Grace – Sunday Songs

A reflective meditation on the saving power and love of God.
From CityAlight’s album Only A Holy God.

The lyrics:
1.
Your grace that leads this sinner home
From death to life forever
And sings the song of righteousness
By blood and not by merit
2.
Your grace that reaches far and wide
To every tribe and nation
Has called my heart to enter in
The joy of Your salvation
Refrain.
By grace I am redeemed
By grace I am restored
And now I freely walk
Into the arms of Christ my Lord
3.
Your grace that I cannot explain
Not by my earthly wisdom
The prince of life, without a stain
Was traded for this sinner
Refrain.
By grace I am redeemed
By grace I am restored
And now I freely walk
Into the arms of Christ my Lord
4.
Let praise rise up and overflow
My song resound forever
For grace will see me welcomed home
To walk beside my Saviour
Refrain.
By grace I am redeemed
By grace I am restored
And now I freely walk
Into the arms of Christ my Lord

1.
I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands I bring

From a good and gracious King

You deserve the greater glory

As Your child and as Your friend
Safe, secure in You forever

Shepherd – Sunday Songs

Shepherd by CityAlight evokes some themes from Psalm 23 and other biblical sources.

The lyrics:
Verse 1.
Though I walk through the valley
And I can’t see the way
When the shadows surround me
I will not be afraid
For I know You are with me
You will always provide
Though the path may be lonely
You will stay by my side
I will rest my soul
I’ll trust in You alone
Chorus.
For the Lord my Shepherd
Leads me, leads me
And He is all I need
In the darkest valley
I know, I know
My Shepherd is all I need
Verse 2.
Lord I know that You seek me
When I’m trying to hide
And Your love it pursues me
All the days of my life
I will rest my soul
I’ll trust in You alone
Chorus.
Bridge.
I rest my soul
In You alone
You light my way
You lead me on

I Want To Know You – Sunday Songs

I Want To Know You from CityAlight’s album Only A Holy God.

The lyrics.
1.
I’ve tried in vain a thousand ways
My fears to quell, my hopes to raise
But what I need, Your word has said
Is ever, only, Jesus
2.
You died, you live, you reign, you plead
There’s love in all your words and deeds
This weary heart finds all it needs
In ever, only, Jesus
Chorus.
I want to know you, Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens, King of my soul
I trade my treasure and all my rewards
Jesus to know you, then know you more
3.
Though some should curse me for your name
I have no fear, I have no shame
You stand with me for all my days
My ever, only, Jesus
Chorus.
Bridge.
Like wave after wave on the ocean
Like all of the sand on the shore
Your beauty and glory are endless
O Jesus I must know you more
Repeat bridge.
Chorus.
Repeat chorus.

All My Ways Are Known To You – Sunday Songs

All My Ways Are Known To You is from CityAlight’s album Only A Holy God.
I like the lyrics, the tune, the tempo.

The lyrics:
In days of peace and days of rest
In times of loss and loneliness
Though rich or poor, Your word is true
That all my ways are known to You

No trial has come beyond Your hand
No step I walk beyond Your plan
The path is dark outside my view
Still all my ways are known to You

And oh what peace that I have found
Wherever I may be
For all my ways are known to You
Hallelujah, they are known to You!

I do not fear the final night
For death will be the door to life
You take my hand and lead me through
For all my ways are known to You

Open up my eyes so I may see
That You have made these ways for me
Open up my eyes so I may see
That You my God, will walk with me

Blessed Assurance by City Alight

Blessed Assurance is a track from City Alight’s (very, very) soon to be released second album Only A Holy God.
It’s not a ransacking of the lyrics of the older hymn, but an original composition.

Lyrics:

All my attempts to be satisfied
Were vain and empty
Until the moment you rescued me
And your love filled me

My soul sings
Now my soul sings

What blessed assurance
I’ve found in you
I’ve found in you
I won’t be shaken I will not be moved
How steadfast your strong hand
Is keeping me
Is keeping me
I won’t be shaken I will not be moved
Oh blessed assurance

No other love that I’ve ever known
Compares to you God
No other love that I’ve ever found
Has done what you’ve done

Ever my anchor
Ever my strength
Ever my portion
And all I need

Ever my healing
Ever my hope
Ever the truth that leads me home
That leads me home
