Corban: TheMusic

Psalm 96:1

Sing to the Lord a new song;
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
Announce His Salvation day after day.
Tell God’s glory among the nations;
Among all peoples, God’s marvelous deeds.

Verse

We’re here waiting for
You to fill this place
Set it on fire
Here with your grace

We tremble in fear
For we don’t understand
The power of love
That flows from your hands

Chorus
We will wait for you to come and
Rush in, rush in, rush in, and overflow
We will wait for you to come and
Rush in, rush in, rush in, and make us whole

Verse
Chorus

Bridge
We want to see flames like tongues descend on us
We want to praise your name in the tongue of every land
We want to hear a sound like thunder, a mighty gust of wind
As you rush in, rush in, rush in, and overflow
Rush in, rush in, rush in, and make us whole

Slow Chorus
Come and rush in fill this place
Set on fire with your grace

Chorus

"Francis"

Verse 1

There's so much hatred today, but what can I do
I sit silently amazed at what’s on the news
Every day another war waged, with no end in sight
I pause … turn the channel, numb, I go on with my life

Verse 2

And there’s so much silence today, fear to ask what’s the right way
We let darkness grow and call it light, while light is despised, we just close our eyes

Pre-Chorus

These problems must be a job for someone else
Because I’m still trying to figure you out myself
So the world keeps crying, but I’m here trying to beat back my own doubts
Lift me out of my fear, into your faith above

Chorus

And let me sow love, let me sow love
Make me a channel of your peace
To show a saddened world, this joy complete
To those who despair, bring the hope they're in need of

Bridge

This world’s in need of healing, why I am so unfeeling
I sit by the side as the world goes by and down and out
Even through my doubt

Lord, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.
For in giving we receive, in forgiving we are forgiven,
In dying we are born to eternal life.
Lord let me sow love!

Chorus

And let me sow love, let me sow love
Make me a channel of your peace
To show a saddened world, this joy complete
To those who despair, to bring the hope that they're in need of

And let me sow love
Let me sow love
Let me sow love
Let me sow love

"Come to Me"

Verse 1

Come to me, all who are weary of life
Find rest and know you are loved
Come to me, all who are broken of heart or body
Be healed and know you are loved

Refrain

Come and weep in my arms I spread wide to hold you
Come and sleep by my side that was pierced for you

Verse 2

Come to me, all who are lonely, who feel lost
Find peace and know you are loved
Come to me, all who are empty, hungry, and thirsty
Be filled and know you are loved

Refrain

Come and weep in my arms I spread wide to hold you
Come and sleep by my side that was pierced for you

Bridge

You wonder where I was that day
You found yourself torn, swept away
I was there by your side, holding your hand,
Wiping your eyes of those tears
And I’m still here
Ready to hold you, still by your side here to console you
Don’t cling to your pain or hide in your shame
Any longer, just let go and
come to me, for by my wounds yours are healed
come to me, for by my wounds yours are healed
come to me, for by my wounds yours are healed

Verse 1

Lead me, Lord
I’m ready to follow you
Lead me, Lord
To where you guide me to
For yours are words of eternal life
Through me, show the world that you are its light

Open my heart
Your will be done in me
Open my heart
That the world might see
Your love, your love, your love
Your love, your love, your love

Verse 2

Use me, Lord
Even in my weakness
Use me, Lord
Let me be speechless
But let your spirit come and speak through me
To show the world that you came and died to set us free

My heart is yours
My life is yours
So lead me, Lord
For I am yours

"I Will Believe"

“I Will Believe” – © 2008 Stephen Ng

Verse 1

Tears falling down my face
Fears breaking down my faith
And nothing seems the same
One thing unchanged
That I am alone

I used to feel you so closely inside of me
You’d abide in me, I’d confide in thee
Where are you now

I used to have joy, filled by your spirit
So near it, I never feared it
I never questioned how

Chorus

But you gave me this life, and so I’ll still live
You gave me this love, and so I’ll still give
You blew into me breath, and so I’ll still breathe
And Christ died for faith, and so I’ll believe

Verse 2

You took my family in one day
Was it to see if I’d still lift your name in praise?
Do I love you for the gifts you give
Or because you’re the one true God who lives?

All my friends tell me to abandon you
Turn my back on you, deny what I know is true
Would that ease my pain?

They say that I’ve lost your grace,
You’ve hidden your face there’s no hope in faith
That you don’t know my name

Chorus

Bridge

Though it’s so hard to get through the day
To the earth’s potter, what can the clay say?
‘Cause you knew my every step before I was made
Before I was born through Christ’s blood you saved me

Chorus 2

And you gave me this song, and so I’ll still sing
You gave me this gospel, and so I’ll still bring
Your Son to all nations, Lord just be patient with me
I know that Christ died for faith, and so I’ll believe

Chorus 1

"Emmaus"
“Emmaus” – © 2008 Stephen Ng

Verse 1

Two men walking to Emmaus,
their dreams just died
Put their faith in Jesus,
Then watched him be crucified
Stranger appears there
and walks with them that way
They stay with him that night,
to hear what he had to say
He showed them it was for their sins he died
In the breaking of bread, he opened their eyes

Refrain

I feel like I’m walking to Emmaus
not sure what to believe
Because I know this is your blood and body
even if I can’t see
So place my hands in the scars in your side and feet
help me know this is you inside of me
Help me trust this is the blood you shed
help me know you in the breaking of this bread
help me know you in the breaking of this bread

Verse 2

Apostles sitting on a hillside watched you feed five thousand,
With just five loaves and a few fish
Four thousand came back the next week, didn’t know how they’d be fed
oh how quickly we forget
The miracles you’ve performed in our lives,
So in this breaking of bread Lord open our eyes

Chorus

"Not Alone"

“Not Alone” – © 2008 Stephen Ng

Verse 1

Sometimes when I look at the world
I wonder where you are
Because you say you’re the God of light,
But we’re surrounded by dark
You say you’re a God of love,
But we’re filled with hate
I see so many in chains
But you say you’re the God who saves

Chorus

But I wasn’t there when you placed the stars in the sky
I wasn’t there when you made the waters run dry
I wasn’t there when you set the day from the night
Lord, who am I
To who you are?

Verse 2

Sometimes I can’t help but cry
When I think about the children fated to die
Just because of the lives they’re born into
Can this be of you?

Chorus

Bridge

I wasn’t there when the sun stood still
Who am I, Lord, to question your will?
We see a moment of your plan
Eternity’s in your hands
I don’t understand, but I know you do

I wasn’t there when you watched your son be raised high
For my sins he was crucified
I wasn’t there, when out of love for us he died
Lord, who am I
To who you are!

Verse 3

Sometimes I can’t help but fear
That you’ve left us here on our own
So Lord, reveal yourself, even in a whisper
Help us know we’re not alone

"The Astronaut Song"

“The Astronaut Song” – © 2008 Stephen Ng

6 am and the alarm clock blares, and I stare bleary-eyed at the day.
I hit the snooze, grab my shoes, take a minute watch the news
- some guy with something to say.
So why don’t we just drift away, leave the world behind, and wait just one more day to face the sun?
I’m running late, so I lay down my head. I’ve got to formulate a plan to get to work on time.

rubbing the sleep back in our eyes.
So why don’t we just drift away, leave the world behind, and wait just one more day to face the sun?
? Recount my dreams of the night before, I was an astronaut serving in the Civil War.
?You might wonder about an astronaut before, but I think it was pretty important.
And you were there in the yellow dress, though I must confess that I forget the rest
Except for the part where you gave me a kiss, which is tough to do with a glass helmet.
So why don’t we just drift away, leave the world behind, and wait just one more day to face the sun?
So why don’t we just drift away?
