In The Mystery

Words and Music by Joel Houston

Verse 1
In Your Name there is hope
When all seems lost
There is freedom in the power of the cross
Let the world see in Your Name
There is truth where logic fails
Understanding that makes sense of our days
You are Worthy

Pre-Chorus
Hear the sound of all creation roar
We're crying out as one for You
Our God
Now show us the way of Your Love
And we will come running

Chorus 1
All for Jesus' Name
Your Love displayed
We are alive in the mystery
All for sinner's gain Your Life You gave
We'll sing Your Praise for eternity

Verse 2
In Your Name there is mercy
Without end
Overtaking us now time and again
Let the world see
In Your Name there is love that never fails
And the promise that Your Word will prevail
You are Worthy

Bridge
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Great is Your Name
Great is Your Name

Solution

Words and Music by Joel Houston And Matt Crocker

Verse 1
It is not a human right to stare not fight
While broken nations dream
Open up our eyes so blind that we might find
The mercy for the need

Pre-Chorus
Hey now fill our hearts with Your Compassion
Hey now as we hold to our confession

Chorus 1

Woah oh oh God be the Solution
Woah oh oh
And we will be Your Hands and be Your Feet
(Oh run)

Verse 2
It is not too far a cry too much to try
And help the least of these
Politics will not decide if we should rise
And be Your Hands and Feet

Verse 3
Higher than all circumstance Your Promise stands
Your Love for all to see
Higher than our protest line and dollar signs
Your Love is all we need

Bridge
Only You can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see
Erase complete the sinner's past
And set the captives free
Only You can take the widow's cry
And cause her heart to sing
Be the Father to the fatherless
Our Saviour to the King
We will be Your Hands
We will be Your Feet
We will run the race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be Your Light
We will be Your Light

We will run we will run
We will run with the Solution
We will run we will run
We will run with the Solution

The tide is turning

Call us out let the world see You are God
As we sing

Every chain now broken

As we sing

And what can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
My life to declare Your promise

With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
