You Thrill Me Lord

Words and Music by Tom Frodsham. C. 2008.

CHORUS
You thrill me, Lord, with all that You have done for me.  
I sing for joy because it’s joy that makes me sing.
I lift my eyes to You, it’s You I long to see.
I raise my hands O Lord, because You’ve set me free.

VERSE 1

I see the sunrise in the morning every day.
I see the sunset as You let it slip away.
I see the fish leap from the ocean through the spray.
I see the eagles as they soar, I’ve got to say;

CHORUS  

VERSE 2

I am Your child O God; Your waters made me clean.
When the dark days come, You are the light I se
When I stand at Your throne, I’ll praise You and I’ll sing:

CHORUS 

Our Wonderful God

Words and music by Tom Frodsham. C. 2008  

Who placed the stars in the heavens on high? Our God our wonderful God!
Who hung the sun and the moon in the sky?  Our God our wonderful God!
Who made the garden for Adam and Eve? Our God our wonderful God!
And, who’s the creator of all that we see? Our God our wonderful God! 
 
CHORUS
He is wonderful, He is marvelous, He is glorious, He is our risen Lord.
He is Lord of all, He is King of kings, He is mighty God, He is our Prince of Peace.
He’s our Comforter, He’s our Conqueror, He’s our Counselor, He’s our refuge and strength.
He is infinite, He is merciful, He is God with us, He’s the One; wonderful God!  

 VERSE 2

Who sent the prophets to show us our need?   Our God our wonderful God!      
Who gave us mana and parted the sea?        Our God our wonderful God!      
Who came as a child on that first Christmas Eve? Our God our wonderful God
Who is the truth and who’s truth sets us free? Our God our wonderful God!   
   
CHORUS
 
BRIDGE
Who hung on the cross at dark calvary?
Who suffered and died on that cruel tree?
Who laid in the tomb, the world He would save.
For after three days, who rose; who rose from the grave?
 
CHORUS

 

Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

LBW #559. Text: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788, alt. Tune: Carl G. Glaser, 1784-1829. Chorus words and music by Tom Frodsham, c. 2004.
 
Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace!
My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad the honors of Your name.
 
CHORUS
Oh, praise the Lord with a mighty song. Oh, praise the Lord in this land.
Oh, praise the Lord for His awesome grace. Oh, praise the Son of man.
 
The name of Jesus charms our fears and bids our sorrows cease,
Sings music in the sinner’s ears, brings life and health and peace.
To God all glory, praise, and love be now and ever giv’n
By saints below and saints above, the Church in earth and heav’n.
Repeat CHORUS

 

Jesus, You’re the Light of the World

Words and music by Tom Frodsham. C. 2007.
 
Peace Lord; in this moment give me peace.
Strength Lord, for this moment give me strength.
Hope Lord, for the days that lie ahead.
 
CHORUS
I light this single candle, and pray the dark will not overcome.
Oh, Jesus, You’re the light of the world.
 
Peace Lord; in this hour give me peace.
Strength Lord; for this hour give me strength.
Hope Lord; for the weeks that lie ahead.
Repeat CHORUS
 
BRIDGE
And though the storm is raging in the deepest part of me,
And to face this storm I fear I have no strength.
I turn to You, desperate to find a hope and quiet peace.
Oh, Jesus, let me rest my soul in Thee.
 
Peace Lord; in this season give me peace.
Strength Lord; for this season give me strength.
Hope Lord; for the years that lie ahead.
Repeat CHORUS
 

You Are More than I Need

Words & music T. Frodsham c 2003
 
You are, what I need in the morning Lord
You are, what I need in the evening
You are what I need, all the day long
You are, what I need in the winter Lord
You are, what I need in the springtime
You are, what I need thru the seasons of my life.
 
CHORUS           
In this world there are many things.
That can blind our eyes, so we can’t see.
That the one true light, is Jesus our Lord.
I don’t need what the world can give.
‘Cause I have found, that the way to live.
Is to put my trust in Him, for all that I need.
 
What I need when I’m broken Lord
What I need when I’m healing
What I need, even when I’m strong
What I need when I’m hungry                                     
What I need when I’m thirsty                                 
What I need to sustain me in my life
 

Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service

LBW #423. Text: Albert F. Bayly. Tune: The Sacred Harp, Philadelphia 1844.
 
Lord, whose love in humble service bore the weight of human need,
Who upon the cross, forsaken, worked Your mercy’s perfect deed.
We, Your servants, bring the worship not of voice alone, but heart;
Consecrating to Your purpose ev’ry gift which You impart.
 
Still Your children wander homeless; still the hungry cry for bread;
Still the captives long for freedom; still in grief we mourn our dead.
As You, Lord, in deep compassion healed the sick and freed the soul,
by Your Spirit send Your power to our world to make it whole.
 
As we worship, grant us vision, till Your love’s revealing light.
In its height and depth and greatness dawns upon our quicked sight.
Making known the needs and burdens Your compassion bids us bear,
Stirring us to ardent service, Your abundant life to share.
 

Love Is

Words and music by Tom Frodsham. C. 1998.
 
Love is what we need today, love is what will show the way.
Love is what we need right now, love will truly show us how.
Love is what we need to know, love is what we need to grow.
Love is what we need to share, love is needed everywhere.
Love is needed.
 
Love is a friend indeed, love will find a friend in need.
Love is a helping hand, love will always understand.
Love is one kind word, love’s all music that we’ve heard.
Love is a good hot meal, love is love when love’s for real.
Love’s compassion.
 
Love is a guiding light, love will get us through the night.
Love is a guiding song, love will help us sing along.
Love is a guiding plan, love will always understand.
Love is the only way, love will get us through each day. Love will guide us
.
Love is on every face, love is found in every race.
Love is filled with grace, love’s a part of every faith.
Love is a gift at birth, love could make true peace on earth.
Love is what we need to see, love will truly set us free.
Love’s true freedom.
 

Wait for the Dawn

Words and music by Tom Frodsham & Scott Swanson. C. 1997.
 
Live, live in the darkness. Wait, wait for the dawn.
Someone has left us, where have they gone?
Some, some are a cryin’ and some cannot feel a thing.
Well, some they are a lyin’ while others try to sing.
 
I’m feeling calm in the midst of a fight.
I’m sensing the dawn while I’m lost in the night.
Where does hope come from? And where will it lead me tonight?
 
They tell you, wait, wait for tomorrow. They tell you, live, live for today.
So what do you do with your sorrow; you can’t put it away.
Live, live in the darkness. Wait, wait for the dawn.
Daylight has left us, where has it gone?
Our hope has left us? We’ll wait for the dawn.
 
Live, live in the darkness. Wait, wait for the dawn.
Daylight has left us, where has it gone? Jesus has left us,
We’ll wait for the dawn.  
 

My Confession

Words and music by Tom Frodsham. C. 2004.
 
Lord, there is a war deep in my soul. The war it rages on and on.
The things I long to do remain undone. Why is it evil that I choose?
Why is it evil that I choose?
 
CHORUS
Wash me Lord, and make me clean within.
Heal me Lord, I’m broken from my sin.
Take me Lord, I give You all I am.
Save me Lord from all that I have been.
This is my confession, this is my confession.
 
Lord, You won the war a long, long time ago.
You conquered sin and death and vanquished is the foe.
Lord, I do not have the strength, not on my own.
You died and rose that I might live.
You died and rose that I might live.
 

A Man

Words and music by tom Frodsham. C. 2003.
 
Here I stand. I’m waiting for a sign, a song or something,
an indication there’s a need that You have of me.
Here I stand. I’m in awe of Your love, Your grace, Your beauty;
that You would take me as I am, not as I should be.
 
BRIDGE
Broken, alone and wonderin’ where it all went wrong.
Too much to do to find the way.
The nights, the road, the dreams, You might say they’re all but gone.
Then from my knees I find I have the strength to say:
 
CHORUS
I’m a man, looking for a way to live my life with meaning.
Find the purpose for my life.
I’m a man looking for a different way of seeing.
Help me open up my eyes and find,
 
Find that thing I’m looking for, find the one and only door,
That will open up life’s greatest mystery.
Find the answer to my prayers, find it’s You who truly cares.
That can break the chains in my life and set me free.
Repeat CHORUS
 
Here I stand, I’m on the edge; I guess I am still seeking.
There’s all these questions in my head that I have for Thee.
Here I stand; I’m askin Lord, that You would somehow teach me.
That I can trust in You alone, not just what I see.
Repeat BRIDGE
 
Lord, You have the perfect plan. Help me now to understand it. Lord, You have the perfect plan.
 

Holy Ground

Words and Music by Tom Frodsham. C. 2007.
 
CHORUS
Holy ground, we are standing on Holy ground.
Holy ground, any place where God’s people are found, can be;
Holy ground, yes we’re standing on Holy ground.
Holy ground, where true friends are caring and lives we are sharing,
God makes this place Holy ground.
 
VERSE
Oh God, You love Your children.
And Jesus, You’ve called us Your friend.
Help us to love in Your image.
Help us to live as You lived.
 
CHORUS
 
VERSE
Open our eyes to the sorrow,
open our hearts to the pain.
Open our hands, let them show
The love of our Savior again.
 
CHORUS
 

Release the Power

Words and music by Tom Frodsham.
 
CHORUS
Lord, we need love to save the world.
Lord, we need faith to change the world.
Lord, we need truth to free the world.
Lord, we need music to heal the world.
 
VERSE
Lost in this world we see so much of what is wrong.
The road to life seems hard, the road seems oft so long.
But in the heart of man dwells a power that is strong.
The music of The Way breaks through the world with a song.
Sing it to the world, Release the power!
 
CHORUS
 
VERSE
The world has been at war it seems since time began.
With every race & creed, blood spilled on every land.
There is a way to love, a way to understand.
We’ll sing the song of power, together we can stand.
Stand up in the world, Release the power.
 
CHORUS
