Spirit of God, My Soul Needs Reviving





1) Spirit of God, my soul needs reviving
My mind needs renewing, fill me again
Spirit of Christ, my love needs restoring
My life needs reordering, fill me again.
Come Holy Spirit, Giver of grace
Lord, I surrender, Come take Your place
Spirit of Christ, my love needs restoring
Rule in my heart forever!

(Verse 2 suggested by Betty MacPherson Johnson)

2) Spirit of God, our souls needs reviving
Our minds need renewing, fill us again
Spirit of Christ, our love needs restoring
Our lives needs reordering, fill us again.
Come Holy Spirit, Giver of grace
Lord, we surrender, Come take Your place
Spirit of Christ, our love needs restoring
Rule in our hearts forever!

First Place




First place
That’s what You deserve
Wounded for my sins
Broken for my hurt
First place
Healer of my wounds
Lover of my soul
First place

How can I deny a love so deep and wide?
How can I refuse Your love?
How can I deny a love so deep and wide?
How can I refuse Your love?

Your grace
That’s what I received
Long before I heard
Long before I knew
Your grace
Poured out over me
Mercy over me
Your grace!

How can I deny a love so deep and wide?
How can I refuse Your love?
How can I deny a love so deep and wide?
How can I refuse Your love?

First place
That’s what You deserve
You’re the one I love
You’re the one I’ll serve
First place
Ruler of my heart
Master of my life

First place!

You Rescued Me - video demo & lead sheet





You Rescued Me (lead sheet)

Thank You, Lord, for Your desire to rescue and redeem us!

1. Thank You for Your kindness
Thank You for forgiveness
Thank You for salvation, You rescued me
Thank You for Your patience
Thank You for Your mercy
Thank You for salvation, You rescued me.

Bound in chains, deepest gloom, That dark, solitary room
Locked in a prison house of sin, ‘Til your mighty love broke in.
From my pain, From my fears, from the shame of wasted years
Now I’m free, free to stand, I surrender to Your plan.

2. Thank You for Your beauty
Thank You for Your favor
Thank You for salvation, You rescued me
Thank You for Your tough love
Thank You for persisting
Thank You for salvation, You rescued me.

Bound in chains, deepest gloom, That dark, solitary room
Locked in a prison house of sin, ‘Til your mighty love broke in.
From my pain, From my fears, from the shame of wasted years
Now I’m free, free to stand, I surrender to Your plan.

3. Thank You for Your promise
Thank You for Your healing
Thank You for salvation, You rescued me
Thank You for a family
Thank You for a future
Thank You for salvation, You rescued me!
