The Invitation - Lyrics page 1

Ichabod  

 
 
The Glory of Israel 
is veiled -

Thy beauty 
is not seen -

Your Grace 
is unknown -

And as a soul 
in a dry and thirsty land -

We languish -
We languish

 

How long 
will your glory be veiled?

How long 
will Your Grace be withheld?

Lord, we wait - 
too powerless to move -

With tears we cry - 
Thy mercy to prove -

We are not humbled 
by Your silence -

Our sins 
are not removed -  

And as a soul 
in a dry and thirsty land -

   We languish -
 We languish

The Storm

 
 
The nation sleeps - 
the nation slumbers

But all 
through out the land

I hear the peal 
of distant thunder

Guided by 
an unseen hand

A pre-born soul 
lifts it's voice upward

It's silent cry 
reaches the heart 
of God 
 
Now it's life's blood 
cries out 
for vengeance

To a Holy - 
Mighty God

I hear a voice - 
and now it's calling

For the Church of God 
to arise

To add it's voice 
now 
to the thunder

Warn the lost - 
for judgment's 
nigh

Almighty God - 
sleeps not - 
nor slumbers

He is the Guardian 
of all men

Shed not man's blood - 
is 
His Commandment

And in His wrath - 
He will avenge them

The nation sleeps - 
the nation slumbers

But all 
through out the land

I hear the peal 
of distant thunder

Guided by 
an unseen hand

The Invitation
  

Be opened . . .

I am lost. 
I am wretched - undone.

The God who sees 
has opened 
your eyes . . .
. . . His name is 
“Elroi”.

I am afraid - 
of all things.


Be not afraid, 
for I 
have redeemed you . . .
. . . I have called you 
by name


   
. . . His name is 
“Jehovah Jireh”.

My soul thirsts 
for God.

God has 
graced you. . .

. . . His name is 
“I Am who I Am”.

I know 
God 
is my only hope. 
I need 
God 
or I will be 
forever lost.

Seek 
and you shall find – 
Knock 
and the door
shall be opened 
to you.

I see you now – 
You are beautiful 
beyond description.

But I am unworthy 
to lift up my eyes – 
I am unclean.

All 
that the Father 
gives me 
I will in no wise 
cast out.
Come 
and I 
will cleanse you.

You are precious, 
my Lord.
I am your servant 
forever – 
I know many 
who are lost 
and dying.

Compel them 
to come and drink 
from the water 
of life.

Who shall I tell them 
sent me?


The 
Lord of Lords 
and the 
King of Kings . . .

. . . His name is 
Jesus.

I’ve Been Redeemed

 
I have no wealth, 
I have no power, 
I have no fame

Only in Thy Cross 
I gain

So I give unto you - 
Lord 
I give to you -

Lord 
I give to you

Humble sacrifices 
of unceasing 
praise

 

I’ve been redeemed 
by the blood 
of the lamb

I am a child 
of the Great 
I AM

I’ll follow Him - 
Do as He 
commands

I’ve been redeemed 
by the blood 
of the lamb

 

For this I know - 
that God 
is for me

With His mighty arm 
He Ransomed me

And with 
His precious 
blood

I’ve been 
redeemed

 

Lord 
let my soul 
forever cling to 
Thee

And my mouth 
shout forth 
Thy praise

For Thy right hand 
upholds me - 
I’ve been 
redeemed

 

I’ve been redeemed  
by the blood 
of the lamb

I am a child 
of the Great 
I AM

I’ll follow Him - 
Do as He 
commands

I’ve been redeemed 
by the blood 
of the lamb

 

In God 
I have put 
all my trust

I shall not 
be afraid

What can man 
do unto me?

I’ve been 
redeemed
