You Alone are Lord
Words by Al Jiron, Jr., Music by Chris and Tamara Rogers
In this flesh, O Lord
Thy servant is so frail
If not for Your sufficient Word
My hope could not prevail
When vast trials come
There is nothing I can do
The only comfort I can find
Is found inside of You
You are Lord, You are Lord
You are coming back again for You are Lord
You will reign alone supreme
As all of heaven sings
You are Lord You are Lord
By Your grace I rise
With a gaze that’s set above
I walk in awe of who You are
And wonder in Your love
That day is coming soon
The trump shall sound its blast
The dead in Christ shall rise again
And death be downward cast
You are Lord, You are Lord
You are coming back again for You are Lord
You will reign alone supreme
As all of heaven sings
You are Lord You are Lord
The crown sets on Your brow
Forever it will be
That crown of thorns has been replaced
With sovereign Majesty
Thy praises we do sing
The saints in one accord
There is no other like You God
For You alone are Lord
You are Lord, You are Lord
You are coming back again for You are Lord
You will reign alone supreme
As all of heaven sings
You are Lord You are Lord
You are Lord
Lord, Make Us Holy.
Words By Al Jiron Jr. Music By Chris And Tamara Rogers
Come all who are weary
Turn from your distress
Come to the end of your labor
In His grace you will find rest
He will adorn you
Clothe you in radiant light
And He will reform you
Your beauty will be His delight
Lord make us holy
And love what is true
Do it for Your glory
Do whatever You must do
Father hear our confession
Our love is not always true
At times we offer affection
To the idols that rise against You
We battle with single devotion
To the God whom nothing compares
You’re the Author of perfection
In mercy answer our prayer
Lord make us holy
And love what is true
Do it for Your glory
Do whatever You must do
(REPEAT)
In Jesus our sin is forgiven
In confession we admit our great need
In Scripture we’re called to repentance
By grace our God’s Spirit will lead
Lord make us holy
And love what is true
Do it for Your glory
Do whatever You must do
(REPEAT)
