"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his
name; make his praise glorious! Say to God, 'How awesome are your
deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing
praise to your name.' Come and see what God has done, how awesome
his works in man's behalf!" Psalm 66:1-5
He fed the thousands who did not have bread (Luke 9:10-17) I saw him
bringing people back from the dead (Luke 8:49-56) He drove out demons
from the demon-bound (Luke 8:26-39) And taught us how to walk on holy
ground
He made the leper's skin like new (Luke 17:11-19) The storm
dissipated when he told it to (Luke 8:22-25) Took jars of water turned
it into wine (John 2:1-11) The Savior even healed this heart of mine

seen His glory The one and only son
I was there the day when the dove came down (Matthew 3:16-17) Saw
soldiers with thorns to make His crown (Matthew 27:28-29) Felt the
whole earth quake, darkness on the land (Matthew 27:51-55) After he was
dead, he came to life again (Matthew 28:2-10)
I was there when he said that he couldn't stay Was on the Mount of
Olives watching Him fly away (Luke 24:44-53) In the upper room with
power, the Spirit came To give us guidance as we declare His name
Repeat Chorus
I see how he works in our lives today Through the things not
explained any other way I have known his guidance and I
understand The contentment shown by His loving hand
I can see Him working in His family Who are clearly following their
destiny I can feel his power in their unending love An awesome power
coming from above… above

Listen-Listen up people We will see Him Celebration is on the way
my friend The Son of my God will descend And all of the faithful and
true will rise in Jesus name Broken hearts will be restored Evil
won't be around here no more Face to face with the One Whose
promises were not in vain

receive what your heart desires If you can believe He is waiting to
bless you And take you to mansions escaping the fire

place for you and me We can rejoice now in telling His story Finally
home in that land Lifting our voices and praising our God who

day that will be
When I gave my heart away I started storing my treasures
away Where Satan could not destroy What my God has done in
love Can you visualize a time Of dwelling in love so
divine Finally resting my soul In the Light from above
I wanna be there to see the things that John saw With never a care,
finally understand I wanna be there to help em' sing a new
song Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb

need you? How can I really share what I'm feeling? How can I truly
say?

resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that
can never perish, spoil or fade . . . In this you greatly rejoice, though
now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of
trials. These have come so that your faith . . . may be proved genuine and
may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see
him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and
glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation
of your souls. Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the
grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest
care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of
Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and
the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not
serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now
been told to you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy
Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things." 1
