1. Holy (Jesus You Are) by Jason Ingram, Matt Redman, Jonas Myrin
Your name alone has power to raise us.
Your light will shine when all else fades.
Our eyes will look on Your glorious face
shining like the sun.
Who is like You, God?
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy.
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus, You are. Jesus, You are.
2. He Holds All Things by David A. Cover and Patrick Miller
This original song by The Crossing Music (based on Colossians 1:15-20 and Romans 11:36) is available as a free download at crossingsongs.com.
From kingdom dark to kingdom’s light,
Your blood has made a way.
The death of sin and hope of life,
Your mighty cross proclaims.
From Him, to Him, salvation is sustained.
Through Him, for Him, all things remade.
3. Sovereign Over Us by Aaron Keyes, Jack Mooring, and Bryan Brown
You are wisdom unimagined. who could understand your ways,
reigning high above the heavens, reaching down in endless grace.
Youʼre the Lifter of the lowly, compassionate and kind,
You surround, and You uphold me; Your promises are my delight
Your plans are still to prosper,
You have not forgotten us.
You’re with us in the fire and the flood.
Faithful forever, perfect in love,
You are sovereign over us.
4. Wandering Soul by David A. Cover and Christine Cover
There’s nothing I can do
to take away the shame that I feel.
There’s nothing I can do
to shed the burdens carried with me.
I’m a sinner with a wandering soul.
But I felt the weight lift off of me
when I heard a voice call out to me,
“It is done. It is finished.
I AM what you have been seeking.”
5. It is Finished by Dustin Kensrue
There’s no sacrifice to offer,
there’s no penance to complete;
Freely drink of living water,
without money come and feast.
It is finished! He has done it!
let your weary heart rejoice.
Our redemption is accomplished
raise a shout with ragged voice.
