One of the most staggering practices in the Church is when something that is rejected in the pulpit is sang with passion within the worship! If you ask your traditional evangelical pastor whether everyone will eventually worship and praise Jesus Christ he will unequivocally say no. Yet here are just a sampling of the words of songs that we sing that we aren’t supposed to say or believe:
Your Great Name
Lost are saved, find their way, at the sound of your great name.
All condemned, feel no shame, at the sound of your great name.
Jesus, worthy is the lamb that was slain for us,
Son of God and man you are high and lifted up
and all the world will praise your great name.
–Natalie Grant
The Revelation Song
With all creation I sing, praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You
–Kari Jobe
Rise
All the earth come alive
Lift your eyes to the morning
Let our hearts beat again
With a lifeblood that never fails
Your love it will never fail
Breaking down the divide in a holy collision
The divine in disguise
Took the cross for our sin and shame
Our God You will never fail
See the lost in return
Swing the doors ever wider
See the tide as it turns
Love and mercy is on the rise
As the world folds into Your light
All creation will see Your light
The universe on its knees
See the stars in surrender
God above kings and queens
Every idol will bend and break
But our God You will never fail
Forever and ever
–Hillsong
God of All Glory
God of the heavens,
King of matchless worth.
Lord of all nations,
Judge of the earth,
By mercy we come
And out of love we cry…
God of all glory
Saviour of the world.
Holy One eternal
Let Your praise fill the earth.
Oh fill the earth!
Oh let it fill the earth!
Fill the earth!
–Jeremy Riddle
The Lost Are Found
Everlasting while earthly ages fade,
In mercy our God Your kingdom reigns.
Lord over everything You are near;
All of the universe at Your feet.
In the Savior injustice brought to right,
For Your glory that Your name be lifted high.
Lord over everything you are near;
All of the universe at Your feet.
The lost are found.
The blind will see.
The lame will walk.
The dead will live.
And You are God.
Forever You will reign.
–Hillsong
Beautiful Things
All this pain,
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way.
I wonder if my life could really change at all.
All this earth,
Could all that is lost ever be found,
Could a garden come up from this ground at all.
You make beautiful things,
You make beautiful things out of the dust.
You make beautiful things,
You make beautiful things out of us.
All around,
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos, life is being found in You.
–Gungor
Awesome is the Lord Most High
Raise your hands, all you nations,
Shout to God all creation:
How awesome is the Lord most high.
–Chris Tomlin
This is Love
Every soul every beating heart,
Every nation and every tongue,
Come find hope in the love of the Father,
All creation will bow as one,
Lift their eyes to the risen Son;
Jesus Savior forever and after.
Jesus came and died and gave His life for us;
Let our voices rise and sing for all He’s done.
Our fear is overcome;
Our God is love,
Our God is love.
Every distant and broken heart,
Every prayer every outstretched arm,
Finding hope in the love of the Father.
Age to age let His praises rise,
All the glory for all of time,
Jesus Savior forever and after.
Age to age we will be singing,
In the light of all He’s done,
All the earth everyone singing,
In the wonder of His love.
–Hillsong
All I Need Is You
Where would the world be without Your Son.
Gave His life to save the earth.
Rest in the thought that You’re watching over me.
All I need is You;
All I need is You Lord, is You Lord,
All I need is You.
You hold the universe;
You hold everyone on earth.
–Hillsong
Faithful
Faithful You are ever faithful,
You are ever faithful to us, God.
Powerful You are crowned all-powerful,
All the world will bow before You, Oh God.
–Fee
