Verse 1:

C D Em (x3)

C D G

There was a Man who had no beauty

No majesty, nothing was attractive

He was a Man despised and rejected

But this was the Man who gave it all


Verse 2:

The Father sent down His only Son

To carry sins of this world

Like a lamb He was led to slaughter

But in silence He stood there

For He knows the will of the Father

Our sins were pierced right through His hands

This sacrifice was exchanged for our peace

To save us those who’ve gone astray

About the song:


This song is about God’s vision and His heartbeat for the lost and the world. As mentioned in the passage, in the last days people will be flooding to this place (the mountain of God). It is also a vision that God planted in me when I was worshipping God, that people will flood to our church and the place is overfilled with people singing praises to God and worshipping Him. The days are coming when God’s glory will be revealed and men will be drawn to that place.

In the verse, it talks about who God is and how his presence is going to draw people from all over to him. The pre-chorus is a vision of people coming in to praise God and how the mountain of God will and should look like (overflooding with people in repentance and in awe of God’s presence). The chorus shows that revival has finally occurred in the heart of men and in the cities, men rejoiced and there is such joy in the atmosphere because many sinners are saved.


Verse 1:

D G A D

Hallelujah my lord you reign

Over the heavens and across the earth

Holy Holy is the lamb

Let all creation bow at your name


Verse 2:

Glory Glory to you my King

Lord let your glory fill this place

That all may see and flood to this place

Let revival fill this place


Pre- Chorus:

G Bm G A

People are streaming in

To this place where you dwell

Its filled from the front to the back

Every knee will be bowed

Every hand will be raised

At the name of the Lord


Transition: A A2


Bridge:

E A B (x3)

A B E

There’s revival in the hearts of every men

There’s revival in the hearts of every soul

There’s revival in the heart of cities

All nations will know Jesus is the Lord

About the song:

I was inspired to write this song when I was reflecting about my life before I came to know God. How many times I felt lost and lonely and often questioned about meaning of life and my purpose to be here. But when I took the step and chose to be with God, life gradually make sense and I started understanding my purpose for being here and how much God’s love and grace is sufficient to see me through even the toughest times. I pray that this song will reach those who are seeking for more in life, to reach those who are lost and weary. Jesus is the only way to life, He has come so that we can have life to the fullest. I pray that one day you will be able to experience this too.

Verse 1:

Have you ever felt, you were lost and lonely
That the air you breathe is stuck at your throat
Have you ever question of your existence
That sometimes you feel like you’re just not here

verse 2:

D A E F#m

Have you ever wonder why you are here
Is it just to fill the face of the earth
Have you ever thought of who created you
That there is no one like you

PreChorus:

How can I have joy in storms
How can I see hope in this place filled with hurt
How do I know who am I to be
Who am I in this world (repeat)

Chorus:

You are the one who created me
Breathing your life into my unformed body
Given me hope and a destiny
Forever I’m Yours, Your beloved one.

About the song:


This song is about God’s constant faithfulness in our life and how his love is everlasting. God’s faithfulness and love is everlasting because of His character. As mentioned in psalm 48:14, He is our God forever and ever and He can never disown Himself. He is our guide to the end, never giving up. I was very touched by Psalm 48 especially verse 14 as it truly reminded me of who God is and His character. Wrote this song in April and it really brought much joy and revival into my hearts, knowing that God is truly with me even through the hard times and that He is and He will forever be my strength and my guide.

Jesus you are my strength

You lift me up through the storms

Through the rain in my life

You lift me up and make me stand on higher ground

You lift me up through the storms

Through the rain in my life

Oh lord you have come and rescued me

About the song:

Psalm 46 talks about despite of the many circumstances that could happen in our lives (verse of the song), God is always faithful and He will surely see us through. However, many of us often fail to realize what God can do and often fail to look beyond the many temporal circumstances. This song is written in response to psalm 46, claiming God’s promises, almightiness and power into our life. Trusting in His name, His character and promises to us. This song is about a heart that is convicted of who God is in our life. In the bridge, it ends with a heart being in awe of His presence in our life. God is just simply awesome and we cant stop ourselves from praising Him, lifting up our hands in surrender to his majesty.

There is a river where the most High dwells
Drink from it I will not fall

Chorus 2:

I’ll be still and trust in your name
Exalted among nations
Exalted in the earth
You are my awesome Lord

Bridge:

You are awesome, God
You are awesome, God
Shout my praises to the king
You are awesome, God
You are awesome, God
Lift my arms and clap my hands (repeat)
