all glory be to Christ.

This New Years we started a new tradition, singing "All Glory Be To Christ" as the clock strikes midnight.

The tune is set to the traditional New Years song, "Auld Lang Syne," but the words communicate someone infinitely more glorious:

Should nothing of our efforts stand
No legacy survive
Unless the Lord does raise the house
In vain its builders strive 

To you who boast tomorrow's gain
Tell me, what is your life?
A mist that vanishes at dawn
All glory be to Christ 

All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ 

His will be done, His kingdom come
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread
Praise Him the Lord of Love 

Let living water satisfy
The thirsty without price
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
All glory be to Christ 

All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ 

When on that day the great I AM
The faithful and the true
The Lamb who was for sinners slain
Is making all things new 

Behold our God shall live with us
And be our steadfast light
And we shall e'er His people be
All glory be to Christ 

All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ

If anything good happens to you this year, it is because Jesus was gracious to you, therefore, "All glory be to Christ."

If you meet any of your "new year's resolutions" this year, it is because Jesus helped you, therefore,  "All glory be to Christ."

All glory be to Christ.

you've won again

You've Won Again

Words and Music by Taylor Reavely (c) 2011

If I would tell the story

Of Your great love for me

I'd have to start before I'd

Ever come to be

Before the world the founded

You'd written down my name

You'd made a plan to save me

Defeat death and the grave

be still

Be still, my soul

Be quiet and wait

In silence rest

For God shall save

You troubled heart

Why do you weep

Do you know God

Do you know peace

Be still

And know that I am God

Be silent

For hope is not lost

Be quiet

And still I hear your cry

Be still

For I am on your side

Amid the waves

Amid the flood

Your hand is stretched

And Your promise good

Oh I believe

But help my unbelief

And let me hear You

Hear You speak

So why do I worry

And why do I fear

‘Cause I am so noisy

I cannot hear

Your voice in the whisper

“Do not be afraid

For I am still faithful

And mighty to save”

shaken

Fighting to see the light

With a mask over my eyes

My world seems oh so frail

Behind this shallow veil

There is something still

At odds against my will

Warring to do right

On a battlefield of night

Quietly a thorn is growing in the recess of my heart

Jesus, please remove it and remind me who You are

That I may see Your beauty and the wonder of Your grace

And remember why I’m fighting for the One who took my place

You are my Salvation

I am not forsaken

You are my Foundation

I will not be shaken.

Fighting for the King

I give my everything

But all I am is Yours’

To You I look for more

Grace in every station

I place my expectation

Trusting You to conquer

My feeble heart grows stronger
