God, We Praise You
Author: C. M. Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 30 hymnals First Line: God, we praise You! God, we bless You Lyrics: 1 God, we praise You! God, we bless You!
God, we name You sovereign Lord!
Mighty King whom angels worship,
Father, by Your church adored:
All creation shows Your glory,
Heav'n and earth draw near Your throne,
Singing "Holy, holy, holy,
Lord of hosts, and God alone!"
2 True apostles, faithful prophets,
Saints who set their world ablaze,
Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
Join one growing song of praise,
while Your church on earth confesses
One majestic Trinity:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
God, our hope eternally.
3 Jesus Christ, the king of glory,
Everlasting Son of God;
Humble was Your Virgin Mother,
Hard the lonely path You trod:
By Your cross is sin defeated,
Hell confronted face to face,
Heaven opened to believers,
Sinners justified by grace.
4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious,
You will judge the world You made;
Lord, in mercy help Your servants
For whose freedom You have paid:
Raise us up from dust to glory,
Guard us from all sin today.
King enthroned above all praises,
Save Your people, God, we pray.

God, We Praise You
Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness
With a liberating light.
Praise the One who frees the pris'ners,
Turning blindness into sight.
Praise the One who preached the Gospel,
Healing every dread disease,
Calming storms and feeding thousands
With the very bread of peace.
2 Praise the One who blessed the children
With a strong yet gentle word.
Praise the One who drove out demons
With the piercing two-edged sword.
Praise the One who brings cool water
To the desert's burning sand.
From this well comes living water,
Quenching thirst in every land.
3 Praise the one true love incarnate:
Christ, who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose for many
That we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
Seeing what our God has done.
Praise the one redeeming glory,
Praise the One who makes us one. Topics: Deliverance; Healing; Jesus; Light; Praise; Water Scripture: Isaiah 53:5 Used With Tune: NETTLETON

Small Church Music
Editors: Rusty Edwards, b. 1955 Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
