GOSPEL REFRAININGS

GOSPEL REFRAININGS


Predestined Lamb 

   for sinners slain

Giving up for all 

   His glorious fame

Taking ev’rybody’s blame

Bearing sorrows

   griefs and shame

We'll never be the same 


Redeeming’s why Messiah came

Dead’n buried He ‘rose again

Paying off indebted claim

Tragic loss 

   became our righteous gain

We'll never be the same

No no

   We’ll never ever be the same


Giving His life 

   washed our sinful stains

Making free 

   from dread of future pains

For our estate 

   He changed our guilty names

Over us Christ rules and reigns

We'll never be the same


Redeeming’s why Messiah came

Dead’n buried He ‘rose again

Paying off indebted claim

Tragic loss 

   became our righteous gain

We'll never be the same

No no

   We’ll never ever be the same


In Christ alone 

   My heart remains

Rescued from evil’s

   dark domains

From wicked paths 

   I shall refrain

Sufficient grace

   For me will sustain

We'll never be the same


Redeeming’s why Messiah came

Dead ‘n buried He ‘rose again

Paying off indebted claim

Tragic loss loss 

   became our righteous gain

We'll never be the same

No no

   We’ll never be the same


Make knowing Him 

   your holy aim

You’ll never be the same

No no

   You’ll never ever be the same

Song: COLOSSIANS 3:15-17

COL.  3:15-17

(Verse 16)

Let the word of Christ 

   dwell in you richly 

In all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another

In psalms and hymns 

and spiritual songs

Singing with grace 

in your hearts 

to the Lord


(Verse 15)

Let the peace of God 

   rule in your hearts

To which also

   you have been called 

In one body 

   and be thankful unto Him

Singing with grace 

in your hearts 

to the Lord


(Verse 16)

Let the word of Christ 

   dwell in you richly 

In all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another

In psalms and hymns 

   and spiritual songs

Singing with grace 

   in your hearts 

to the Lord


(Verse 17)

Whatever you do 

   in word or in deed

Do it all in 

   the name of Jesus

Giving thanks to God 

the Father through Him

Singing with grace 

in your hearts 

to the Lord


(Verse 16)

Let the word of Christ 

   dwell in you richly 

In all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another

In psalms and hymns 

   and spiritual songs

Singing with grace 

   in your hearts to the Lord


(Ending)

 Singing with grace 

   in your hearts to the Lord


Singing with grace 

   in your hearts to the Lord

TROUBLEMAKER BLUES

If trouble could talk, what might he say?

Hello, my name is Trouble

I've got troubles of my own

Believers make me grumble

Their endurance makes me groan

I’ve got the blues  

Trouble’s got the blues


These people of the Bible

Know all things work for good

My threats of death, they call great gain

Tricks don’t trick like they should

I’ve got the blues

Trouble’s got the blues


I knock 'em down

But they don’t stay down

They’ve learned to persevere

Success is now elusive

My defeat's become severe

I’ve got the blues 

Trouble’s got the blues 


Through prayer they get stronger

By faith they take a stand

Through pain persistent longer

Makes me wonder who I am

I’ve got the blues

Trouble’s got the blues


Backfiring’s gettin’ way too old

I'm tired of feeling used

Christians gettin’ way too bold

Benefittin’ from my abuse

I’ve got the blues 

Trouble’s got the blues


This thing they call salvation

Ruined it all for me

It’s made all my destruction

Only temporary

I’ve got the blues 

Trouble’s got the blues


Their source of celebration

Is worst of all for me

The root of my frustration

What I caused at Calvary

I’ve got the blues 

Trouble’s got the blues


The fear of death was gutted

No more bondage to defeat

My plans totally routed

When Jesus’ tomb emptied

I’ve got the blues 

Trouble’s got the blues


Who’s got the blues?

Trouble’s got the blues!

Troublemaker blues?

Trouble’s got the blues!
