Stuart Townend - Come People of the Risen King

“Come, people of the Risen King,

Who delight to bring Him praise;
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace.
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him,
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in.

REFRAIN
Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice!


Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night;
Come, those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight.
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease,
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace.


Come, young and old from every land -
Men and women of the faith;
Come, those with full or empty hands -
Find the riches of His grace.
Over all the world, His people sing -
Shore to shore we hear them call
The Truth that cries through every age:
“Our God is all in all”

Stuart Townend - Keep you here

I’d like to stop the world from turning,
I’d like to pause it with my prayer;
I’d like to turn the clocks to zero,
Do all I can to keep you here;
Silence the marching of the seconds,
That sounds relentless in my ears.

For time is given,
And time is taken away;
The least that we can do
Is make the most of every day.
And we are given
And we are taken away;
The best that we can do
Is give ourselves away.

What good is time if we don’t use it
To find the path within the pain?
Whoever keeps their life will lose it,
Whoever gives their life will gain.
Not just a moment but forever,
This love is stronger than the grave.
