To all those who have been chosen by the foreknowledge of God
Sanctified by His own Spirit sprinkled with the blood of Christ
May grace and peace be yours From Jesus Christ our Lord
Blessed be the God and Father of our Master Jesus Christ
Who according to His mercy, caused us to be made alive
Eternal life is set For Jesus conquered death
In this we greatly rejoice! In this we greatly rejoice!
Though we have not seen our Lord We love Him and trust His words
In this we greatly rejoice!
Our inheritance is guarded, everlasting, undefiled
And our life on earth protected by our Father’s sovereign power
Salvation soon will come When Jesus Christ returns
Though while on earth we are distressed
We suffer now through trials and tests
These prove our faith as we obey our Lord
And when we see Him face to face
He’ll honor us with lavish praise
So we rejoice and wait for our reward!! When we will see our Lord!!!
In this we greatly rejoice! In this we greatly rejoice!
Though we have not seen our Lord
We'll soon be with Him evermore!
In this we greatly rejoice!

(Verse 1)
The prophets prophesied then scrutinized their scrolls
Seeking to know the person and time the Spirit within them foretold
They longed to know His grace the mercy promised them
The sufferings of Christ, His blood sacrifice,
and His glorious praise in the end
Even the angels, in heaven wonder, watching His merciful love!
(CHORUS)
Angels desire to know the grace and forgiveness of Christ
Angels desire to know how the dead can be given new life
Angels desire to know to worship and glorify Him
Forever the angels will sing, sing of the Lamb
(Verse 2)
The prophets looked ahead, redemption comes through Him
The Lamb to be slain, despised and ashamed,
pierced through and crushed for our sin
The Spirit now reveals, the Gospel in His word
The power of God, the wisdom of God,
to all who have seen and have heard
(Bridge)
Worthy is the Lamb (honor and glory to Him)
Worthy is the Lamb (honor and glory to Him)
Worthy is the Lamb (honor and glory to Him)
Worthy is the Lamb (honor and glory to Him)

(VERSE 1)
We gird our minds for action with, restraint and self-control
With firm assured confidence in Christ we fix our hope
For He will come in radiance and rescue us with grace
Redeeming His obedient submissive faithful slaves
(VERSE 2)
Be Holy like the Holy One who calls us to Himself
Our Father calls for holiness and causes nothing else
If we address as Father the impartial holy Judge
Then we must live in reverent fear for we were bought with blood
(CHORUS)
O the precious blood, of the spotless Lamb, who appeared to die for sin
Who was raised to life to be glorified we believe and hope in Him
(VERSE 3)
We’re set apart by Jesus Christ submissive to His truth
To love our Lord with fervent might and love our brethren too
We’re born again immortal when we trust His living Word
His Gospel is predestined and forever will endure
(VERSE 4)
We long like newborn infants for His pure refreshing Word
To grow toward our salvation more in the kindness of our Lord
Whatever things were gain to me, I count them all as loss
Lord take my life and glorify your Name at any cost

The Stone (2:4-8)
03:50
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
This stone will be the house of God, the Stone of Israel
The living Cornerstone of God, on which living stones are built
O the Rock of our salvation, our redemption, hope, and strength
God the costly precious jasper Stone, enthroned on high as King
(Verse 2)
The Stone cut from the mountain without hands will fall and crush
This Stone will judge all nations and will scatter them like dust
O This Stone will fill the earth and in one day remove all sin
Yes the tested Stone of Zion, hear His words, and fall on Him
(Chorus)
Jesus Christ Himself has always been the precious cornerstone
On this Rock He builds the church with His anointed living ones
This the dwelling place of God on earth until Messiah comes
For His Spirit living in the church ensures His will is done
(Verse 3)
The Stone was tested and rejected by the chosen race
He’s an offensive stumbling Stone to all who disobey
To this doom they were appointed, Soon the Stone will fall on them
Believe and build your life on Christ, and not on shifting sand

(verse 1)
We are a chosen race, We are His royal priests
We are a holy nation, We are His own possession
(verse 2)
We once were enemies Now we are family
We once were found guilty Now we have His mercy
(CHORUS)
We are the church, we are the house, we are the family of Jesus Christ
He called us out, out of the dark, and brought us into His marvelous light
We live on earth, now to proclaim, the wondrous excellencies of His name
His blood was shed for sin, (Our only hope is Him, He soon will come again)
Believe in Him
(verse 3)
We live as aliens, We live in holiness
We love our enemies, That they may be redeemed
(BRIDGE)
There is no other name, than the name of Jesus Christ,
By which we can be saved, from God
He gave His life to pay, our boundless debt for sin
The only hope we have, is the Lamb

Verse 1:
Submit yourselves to every institution,
Authority is fixed by Jesus Christ
Obedient submissiveness this is the will of God
We are slaves obeying what is right
Chorus:
Now, we have been called for this purpose
We suffer together with Christ
Entrusting our souls to our faithful Creator in doing what is right
Verse 2:
Servants be submissive to your masters
Submit yourselves with fear and trembling
Endure injustice and rejoice this finds the grace of God
Submission is the will of Christ, our King
Bridge:
Christ gave an example to follow Entrusting Himself to His Lord
Submitting Himself to His Father For this is His will evermore
Verse 3:
Arm yourselves to suffer in submission
Clothe yourselves with all humility
Fix your minds completely on the cross of Jesus Christ
Follow in His steps submissively
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
We have been called for this purpose
Since Christ also suffered for us
Leaving us all an example to follow
We must be submissive and trust
He was both holy and blameless
Pure without sin or deceit
He was condemned like a Lamb led to slaughter
He suffered and died silently
He was reviled and insulted
But did not revile in return
He was despised and forsaken and stricken
Yet vengeance was not His concern
Entrusting Himself to His Father
Who judges with pure righteousness
He bore our sins on the cross in His body
That we might live in righteousness
He was pierced for our transgressions
Was crushed and was bruised for our sin
Smitten and chastened our propitiation
We’re Healed by the blood of the Lamb
We were continually straying
But now we have come back to Him
Our Shepherd and Guardian who watches our souls
We’re free from all harm in His hands

(Verse 1)
Wives if your husbands, do not believe
Do not be anxious, nor be deceived
Live in submission, humble and pure
This is your purpose, trusting the Lord
Let your adornment, be from the heart
Gentle and quiet, precious to God
Do not be frightened, do what is right
Honor your husband, imitate Christ
Keep your behavior, reverent and pure
That you may win them without a word
Silence the foolish, do what is right
And while you suffer, imitate Christ
(CHORUS)
You have been called for this purpose,
Imitate Christ while you suffer
Humble, submissive, faithful and pure
Follow His footsteps, trusting the Lord
(Verse 2)
Likewise, all husbands, lay down your lives
Learning and knowing, loving your wives
Guard and defend her with gentleness
Nourish and cleanse her in holiness
She is the daughter of almighty God,
She is the sister, of Jesus our Lord
Cherish and treasure, honor your wife
Or you will hinder communion with Christ
(BRIDGE)
We must be harmonious, affectionate, compassionate, and kind
Benevolent, and reverent, humble and contrite
Never acting vengefully, Never speaking ruthlessly
Always blessing, and expecting blessing from on high

(Verse 1)
Beloved do not be surprised as you share in the sufferings of Christ
Preparing your heart and your mind, trust in the Lord
Be zealous to do what is good submitting your will to His word
Do not be afraid or disturbed, trust in the Lord
(CHORUS)
We will sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts
Submitting our lives, He set us apart
He is our fear and our hope We trust Him alone
(Verse 2)
Be ready to make your defense with gentleness and reverence
In humble, and meek confidence, trust in the Lord
Be sure that your conscience is pure, informed and conformed and mature
Submissiveness keeps it secure, trust in the Lord
(BRIDGE)
The eyes of the Lord examine the earth
He looks for the humble who treasure His word
He looks the heart that is totally His
He rescues the faithful who do what He says

(Verse 1)
Our God did not spare any angel who sinned
And left their domain for the daughters of men
Indulging in evil immoral desire
To tarnish mankind and prevent the Messiah
The demons and women bore warriors of old
So God declared war on the angels revolt
He cast them to hell and reserved them for wrath
Bound under torture ‘til judgment is passed
(Pre-Chorus)
And when our Lord Jesus had laid down His life,
He went to the demons, He bound in the fire
In hell He proclaimed His complete victory
His perfect redemption for all of His sheep
(Chorus)
Our Lord Jesus Christ died for sins once for all
The Just for the unjust to bring us to God
He conquered the grave, crushing Satan and sin
The triumphant victorious Redeemer of man
(Verse 2)
Our God waited patiently in ancient times
Enduring the sinful intent of mankind
He rescued the righteous in mercy and grace
Delivering them through the ark Noah made
Now in the same way Jesus Christ saves our souls
From the fire of His wrath like the water of old
We’re baptized in Him and we’re rescued from wrath
Through the ark of the Son we will triumph at last
(BRIDGE)
Jesus Christ is victorious the true eternal King
Jesus Christ is victorious and every tongue will sing
Jesus Christ is victorious for all eternity
And we will be victorious through Jesus suffering
|

(Chorus)
Since Christ has suffered in the flesh
We arm ourselves for death
We arm ourselves in life for death
For all who suffer in the flesh
Awake in righteousness
Awake in perfect righteousness
(Verse 1)
The path to holiness is suffering
And death produces perfect victory
We must deny ourselves
We must take up our cross
And follow after Christ at any cost
(Verse 2)
This momentary light affliction brings
A weight of glory for eternity
We must renew our minds
We must submit to Christ
And mortify our former sinful life
(Bridge)
And even if they take our mortal lives
They send us face to face with Jesus Christ
The world will give account for blood they shed
For Christ will judge the living and the dead
(Ending)
O death where is your sting?
O death, where is your victory?
In Christ we are redeemed
In Christ we have our victory

(Verse 1)
The end of all things is near
Christ will return, be found prepared
The end of all things is near
Be of sound mind, fervent in prayer
(Pre-Chorus)
Above everything, love everyone, never complain
Above everything, love covers sin with mercy and grace
(Chorus)
We live our lives, to glorify, our Father God, through Jesus Christ
Dominion and glory are solely to Him Forever, and ever, and ever Amen!
(Verse 2)
The end of all things is near
Live every day in honor and fear
The end of all things is near
Be vigilant, firm and aware
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Above everything, serve everyone as stewards of grace
And for everything, our Father supplies the words and the strength
(Bridge)
We must live, live holy lives
Expecting the imminent coming of Christ
We will stand, before His throne
And give an account for all we have done
Whatever we say, whatever we do
Whatever we think, we will glorify You
Whatever we say, whatever we do
Whatever we think, we will glorify You

(Verse 1)
Beloved do not be surprised
When you endure these fiery trials
They prove the faith instilled within
We are refined through suffering
Now we will share with Jesus Christ
His suffering for what is right
They killed our King, now we will die
We take His name, they take our lives
(Chrous)
But We rejoice, with wondrous joy
Our suffering brings great reward
When Christ appears in all His glory
He’ll bring with Him our great reward
So we rejoice with wondrous joy
(Verse 2)
If we’re reviled for Jesus Christ
Then we are blessed with joy in trials
His Spirit now gives sweet relief
So we rejoice in suffering
We don’t engage in civil fights
In social justice or in rights
We sacrifice our good in life
Deny ourselves, we live to die
(Verse 3)
Now we are judged with discipline
So we will never be condemned
Our suffering will sanctify
We are conformed to Jesus Christ
So we entrust our souls to Christ
We will submit to what is right
Our faithful Lord, Creator, King
The Author of all everything

Elders shepherd the flock
The sheep you watch belong to God
Elders shepherd the flock
The sheep you watch belong to God
Watch over His sheep
To guard, to guide, and to keep
Live exemplary lives
So they can see you, as you image Christ
(Chorus)
Tend My lambs, Feed My sheep
When the Chief Shepherd returns for His flock
You will receive blessings for eternity
(Verse 2)
Elders shepherd the flock
The sheep you watch belong to God
Elders shepherd the flock
The sheep you watch belong to God
Watch over their souls
In love, to teach and console
Tend with diligent prayer
You will give account to all in your care
(Bridge)
Younger men, you must submit to the elders your Father provides
Live in peace with humility for your Father opposes and hates willful pride

After we’ve suffered and finished this fight
The God of all Comfort who called us in Christ
Will perfect and confirm and restore us Himself
Together in glory, forever to dwell
(Chorus)
Stand firm!
This is the true grace of God
Stand firm!
(Verse 2)
After we’ve suffered and finished this fight

To Him be dominion forever and ever
To Him be dominion forever and ever
To Him be dominion forever and ever Amen
