Lyrics for Worship Songs
“Adore You”
So much wonder lay before us
In a manger, heaven’s here
Earth is longing for its Savior
Highest king, humble frame,
now appeared
[Chorus]
Unto us a child is born
Unto us the Savior of the world
We adore You, we adore You
Unto us a child is born
Unto us the Savior of the world
We adore You, we adore You, Lord
Stars of glory break the shadows
Leading all to perfect light
Shepherds gathered bearing witness
To the hope of the world, Jesus Christ
[Chorus]
Now behold Him, precious Jesus
Our Redeemer, Mary’s Son
God incarnate, You are with us
Prince of Peace, Emmanuel,
Promised One
[Chorus]
We adore You, we adore You
We adore You, we adore You
We adore You, we adore You
Pour out my heart
To say that I love you
Pour out my heart
To say that I need you
Pour out my heart
To say that I’m thankful
Pour out my heart
To say that you’re wonderful
“Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow
strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace
In the light of His glorious grace
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look at His wonderful face
And the things of this earth will
Grow strangely dim
“Oh, Lord You’re Beautiful”
Oh Lord, you’re beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
Oh Lord, you’re beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow
strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace
“Lord, I Need You”
Lord I come, I confess Bowing here, I find my rest
Without You, I fall apart You’re the one that guides
my heart
Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour, I need You My one defense,
my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand, I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay
Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
You’re my one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
SCRIPTURE READING
1 O God, pagan nations have conquered your land,
your special possession.
They have defiled your holy Temple
and made Jerusalem a heap of ruins.
2 They have left the bodies of your servants
as food for the birds of heaven.
The flesh of your godly ones
has become food for the wild animals.
3 Blood has flowed like water all around Jerusalem;
no one is left to bury the dead.
4 We are mocked by our neighbors,
an object of scorn and derision to those around us.
5 O Lord, how long will you be angry with us? Forever?
How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you—
on kingdoms that do not call upon your name.
7 For they have devoured your people Israel,*
making the land a desolate wilderness.
8 Do not hold us guilty for the sins of our ancestors!
Let your compassion quickly meet our needs,
for we are on the brink of despair.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation!
Help us for the glory of your name.
Save us and forgive our sins
for the honor of your name.
10 Why should pagan nations be allowed to scoff,
asking, “Where is their God?”
Show us your vengeance against the nations,
for they have spilled the blood of your servants.
11 Listen to the moaning of the prisoners.
Demonstrate your great power by saving those condemned to die.
12 O Lord, pay back our neighbors seven times
for the scorn they have hurled at you.
13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture,
will thank you forever and ever,
praising your greatness from generation to generation.

Reflections Questions
READ: Proverbs 2:2-5 and Proverbs 3:5-7
- What do you think is the main difference between living under the Tree of Life versus under the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (human wisdom)?
- What is something you’re seeking wisdom about at the moment? What insights has God revealed to you about the situation so far? Is the path forward straight or do you feel despair and confusion like Solomon felt at times?
- How is God challenging you to trust Him with your own heart (your will, your emotions, your whole self)?
