Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,
Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I'll worship Your holy name.
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning;
It's time to sing Your song again.
What ever may pass, and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,
Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I'll worship Your holy name.
You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger;
Your name is great and Your heart is kind.
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing:
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,
Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I'll worship Your holy name.
And on that day when my strength is failing,
The end draws near, and my time has come;
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending:
Ten thousand years and then for evermore!
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,
Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I'll worship Your holy name.
Yes, I'll worship Your holy name,
Lord, I'll worship Your holy name.
There's a wideness in God's mercy
That is wider than the greatest sea;
And so I know it covers even me.
There's a depth to His compassion
That is deeper than I'll understand;
And so my life is safe within His hands.
His love is deep enough for me,
To cause these blinded eyes to see,
To set this lowly captive free from sin.
His grace is flowing from above,
Reflected in the Saviour's love
O precious Father, help me take it in.
There's a wideness in God's mercy
That is wider than the greatest sea;
And so I know it covers even me.
There's a depth to His compassion
That is deeper than I'll understand;
And so my life is safe within His hands.
His love is deep enough for me,
To cause these blinded eyes to see,
To set this lowly captive free from sin.
His grace is flowing from above,
Reflected in the Saviour's love
O precious Father, help me take it in.
I once was lost in darkest night,
Yet thought I knew the way.
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave.
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will.
And if You had not loved me first,
I would refuse You still.
But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost,
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross.
And I beheld God's love displayed,
You suffered in my place.
You bore the wrath reserved for me,
Now all I know is grace.
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ.
Hallelujah, Jesus is my life.
Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me.
O Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose,
And let my song forever be
'My only boast is Christ!'
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ.
Hallelujah, Jesus is my life.

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea:
A great high priest, whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is written on His hands,
My name is hidden in His heart;
I know that while in heaven He stands
No power can force me to depart,
No power can force me to depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Saviour died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God, the just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me,
To look on Him and pardon me.
Behold Him there! The risen Lamb,
My perfect, sinless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace!
One with my Lord I cannot die:
My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is safe with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Saviour and my God,
With Christ, my Saviour and my God.
