Feat. Matt Maher, Sneha Reddy & Cobus

Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God
Come

One day every tongue will confess
You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose You now

Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God
Come

One day every tongue will confess
You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose You now

(Instrumental)

One day every tongue will confess
You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose You now

Willingly we choose to surrender our lives
Willingly our knees will bow
With all our heart, soul, mind and strength
We gladly choose you now

Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart

3. Healed By Love

Brian Doerksen © 2024 Doerksen Music
Feat. Zoey Siewert

There is no hurt that can’t be healed
No one lost that can’t be found
There’s no mistake that can’t be fixed
There is no hurt that can’t be healed by love

A little bit of love goes a long way
Helping us find hope on our hardest days
A little bit of grace gives another chance
to step into the dance

When suffering feels like a lifelong curse
And you don’t know where to turn
Jesus draws near with a healing touch
A touch that transforms anyone from least to loved

A little bit of love goes a long way
Helping us find hope on our hardest days
A little bit of grace gives another chance
to step into the dance
So open up your heart, you can let shame go
Acceptance is the door, and it’s never closed
You don’t need to hide like you’re all alone
When love already knows

Come see love heal
Come be God’s dream
Come see love heal
Come be God’s dream

Let’s open up our hearts, we can let fear go
Compassion is the door, and it’s never closed
All of us can give just a little more
and watch God’s kingdom flow
A little bit of love goes a long long way
Helping us find hope on our hardest days
A little bit of grace gives another chance
to step into life’s dance

There is no hurt that can’t be healed

4. Your Love Will Find Me (Psalm 139)

Steve Mitchinson & Brian Doerksen
©2006 Integrity’s Hosanna! Music / Shining Rose Songs
Feat. Loralee Thiessen

You were there when life began
Spoken words became a man
Formed in love my every part
You caused the beating of my heart
You’re beside, behind, before; You surround me
You’re everywhere

You chart the path ahead of me
Show me all that I can be
Every moment you are near
In every step, through every fear
There is nowhere I can go to be without You
You’re everywhere

Looking to the heavens You’re there
And in the dark depths of despair
Even there your love will find me
Knowing that I’m never alone
Even if your hand takes my home
To the other side of the sea
Your love will find me

Precious are your thoughts to me
More wonderful than I can see
As I cannot count the sand
I cannot count the things You’ve planned
But when I wake up everyday to face the morning
You meet me there
You’re everywhere

Looking to the heavens You’re there
And in the dark depths of despair
Even there your love will find me
Knowing that I’m never alone
Even if your hand takes my home
To the other side of the sea

Looking to the heavens You’re there
And in the dark depths of despair
Even there your love will find me
Knowing that I’m never alone
Even if your hand takes my home
To the other side of the sea
Your love will find me

5. Be Still My Soul

Words by Katharina von Schlegel, b. 1697; translated by Jane Borthwick, 1813–1897.
Music by Jean Sibelius 1865–1957
This arrangement by Philip Janz & Brian Doerksen © 2021 Shining Rose Songs / Doerksen Music

Be still, my soul, the Lord is on your side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to your God to order and provide
In every change, He faithful will remain
Be still, my soul, your best eternal Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end

Be still, my soul, for God will undertake
To guide in future days as in the past
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be clear at last
Be still my soul, the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below

Be still my soul, though dearest friends depart
And all is darkened in the vale of tears
Then shall you better know his love, his heart
Who comes to soothe your sorrows and your fears
Be still my soul, your Jesus can repay From his own fullness all pain takes away

Be still my soul, when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last

Be still my soul
Be still my soul
Be still . . . my soul

6. Light The Fire Again

Brian Doerksen

Feat. Marika Siewert

Don’t let my love grow cold
I’m calling out, light the fire again
Don’t let my vision die
I’m calling out, light the fire again

You know my heart, my deeds
I’m calling out, light the fire again
I need your discipline
I’m calling out, light the fire again

I am here to buy gold
Refined in the fire
Naked and poor
Wretched and blind I come

Clothe me in white,
So I won’t be ashamed
Lord light the fire again

7. In Search Of

By Marika Siewert, Phil Wickham, Adam Watts, Gannin Arnold
© 2023
Performed by Marika Siewert & Brian Doerksen

She laid her head on the floor a desert inside
She can’t take anymore
There in her eyes
Desperation, desperation

In silence he bleeds, in brokenness waits
For rivers of peace he cries out for change
And salvation, and salvation

I want a home that won’t break down
I want a faith on solid ground
I want a reason to believe in grace and love
This is what I am in search of

Now they’re looking for hope to live unashamed
To be free from the past oh Lord light the way
Restoration, revelation

I want a home that won’t break down
I want a faith on solid ground
I want a reason to believe in grace and love
This is what I am in search of

So lift your eyes, a Savior has arrived
He’s broken through the night to find you
Rest inside
His love
Will wipe away your tears
With joy that conquers fear

And when you’re stuck in desolation
And you have nowhere to go

He’ll build a home that won’t break down
He’ll put your feet on solid ground
He’ll give a reason to believe in grace and love

He’ll build a home that won’t break down
He’ll put your feet on solid ground
He’ll give a reason to believe in grace and love
He is all we are in search of

In Search Of

8. Every Dream (God Who Sees)

There’s no oppression
That won’t give way to openness and freedom
Liberation cannot be defeated

We all belong here
Every race and every single person
Everybody’s gift will keep us learning
Help us to see how you see

God who sees every dream, every goal, all our hopes
God who hears every cry
You’re the One who loves us all to life
You love us all to life

There’s nothing hidden
Privileged secrets now are being spoken
All injustice out into the open

We all belong here
Every single race and every person
Leave prejudice behind and keep on learning
Keep us learning
Help us to see how you see
Help us to see how you see

God who sees every dream, every goal, all our hopes
God who hears every cry
You’re the One who loves us all to life
You love us all to life

Everyone brown and black or white
Everyone precious in Your sight
You see us, You see us
Show us the light you see inside
Show us the light in every life
You see us, You see us
Give us the courage not to hide
Speak out for love that’s in Your eyes
You see us, You see all of us.

God who sees every dream, every goal, all our hopes
God who hears every cry
You’re the One who loves us all to life
You’re the One who loves us all to life
You love us all to life

10. The World Turns

The world turns towards the sun
To be reborn through its light and in its warmth
The night is gone, horizons glow
The wait was long but now God has sent the dawn
Here we are again
Grateful to see the sun

Our hearts turn towards the Son
To be reborn in your light and in your warmth
Our night was dark, sin’s grasp was cold
Our own way hard but now You have sent us hope
Here we are again
Grateful to see the Son
Here we are again
Grateful to see the Son

Your mercies are new every morning
Your kindness unleashed like the spring
Your mercies are new every morning
Great is your faithfulness

(Instrumental)

Your mercies are new every morning
Your kindness unleashed like the spring
Your mercies are new every morning
Great is your faithfulness
Great is your faithfulness

The world turns towards the sun
To be reborn through its light and in its warmth
Here we are again
Grateful to see the sun
Here we are again
Grateful to see the Son

11. Everlasting Arms

We don’t know when this storm is going to break
But underneath all things, the everlasting arms
We don’t know how much more our hearts can take
Underneath all things, the everlasting arms

Underneath all things are the everlasting arms
Underneath all things
Everlasting arms of grace
Underneath all things are the everlasting arms
Underneath it all is love

We don’t know when this fiery trial will pass
But underneath all things, the everlasting arms
We don’t know how long this pain will last
But underneath all things, the everlasting arms

Underneath all things are the everlasting arms
Underneath all things
Everlasting arms of grace
Underneath all things are the everlasting arms
Underneath it all is love

Just when I thought life was over
Just when I felt like love was gone

Underneath all things are the everlasting arms
Underneath all things
Everlasting arms of grace
Underneath all things are the everlasting arms
Underneath it all is love
Underneath it all
Love

“These three things remain; faith, hope and love
And the greatest of these is love, love.”

(1 Corinthians 13:13)
