They loathed the bread of heaven That came to the house of bread They will call it worthless And they will go unfed In every generation Taste and see that He is good The provision of salvation In this one eternal food. Bread of Heaven Bread of Heaven Fall on us in this wilderness! Bread of Heaven Bread of Heaven Our hungering souls to bless! Bread of life now broken for us Manna fall on us this day Take our hunger and our longiing And our leavening away All the stirrings of our hard hearts All the strangers bread we’d taste Multiply yourself among us And let nothing go to waste. Bread of Heaven Bread of Heaven Feed us lest we die! Bread of Heaven Bread of Heaven Only You can satisfy! Anthony Foster March 11, 2014

We are here to echo his glory Celebrate the love that was proved on the cross. We are here to echo his glory Sing to the one who paid the cost. We are here to surrender our passions Take up our cross and follow today We are here to surrender our passions Pursuing the path of the narrow way For from him and through him and to him Are all things in heaven and earth For from him and through him and to him Give glory and honor and praise of His matchless worth Declaring the end from the beginning Here to bring near your righteousness Work your mysterious redemption. Here to be reconciled as we confess. We gain better desires than we have known Dwelling in glory’s unfolding foretaste. Our blessed hope and blessed assurance Is that we will see Him soon face to face. For from him and through him and to him Are all things in heaven and earth For from him and through him and to him Give glory and honor and praise of His matchless worth Anthony Foster March 10, 2014

Arise and behold the glory Wonder at the holy mystery Behold the fullness of the Godhead Incarnate in humble humanity To be our ransom and reward He took on flesh as living Word So ever may he be adored And ever may our praise be heard! Arise and behold the glory Of the suffering Son of Man Who presents us with God’s image Pure and undefiled by Sin. All the first Man failed to do The second Adam has fulfilled He has overcome temptation And true Israel’s revealed. Arise and behold the glory Of the lamb for sinners slain How his death has led to victory How there’s healing in His pain. See the sacrificial proxy In this the perfect substitute For the redemption of our souls This is love, immense and true Those who dwell in the darkness of night Turn your eyes and lift your gaze Now in His advent, behold life and light In the condescending Ancient of Days Arise and behold the glory His before the creation’s dawn Though forsaken, dead and buried Here true mystery’s reborn Now in...

Deep is the fountain of promise Deep is the mystery of death Deeper still is the river of life That calls us into its depths. Down, down into the deep The blood calls out to those who sleep Plunge into its undertow And into its life-giving flow. Cover us Lord, cover us With the water of your Word The cleansing power poured out on us Wash us   as it is heard. Cover us, Lord cover us With lovingkindness’ flood Until we are clean again Purged by your cleansing blood. Deep is the river of mercy That flows from the storehouse of grace Each time one steps into its current The guilt of sin is erased. So down into the deep There your own you will keep And none may ever fathom   this None may plumb the depths of bliss­­­ Cover us Lord, cover us With the water of your Word The cleansing power poured out on us Wash us   as it is heard. Cover us, Lord cover us With lovingkindness’ flood Until we are clean again Purged by your cleansing blood. Anthony Foster March 5, 2014...
