Make a joyful noise, sing praises to God. He has filled my heart with gladness Since he made me new. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praises. He sees every star in the sky and every single grain of sand. Everything big and small is under his control. And when I die I will go to be with thee, To forever sing your praise. Joyfully I’ll give thanks to Thee, Joyfully I give thanks to Thee. Make a joyful noise, sing praises to God. He has filled my heart with gladness Since he made me new. Joyfully I give thanks to Thee.

In the microscopic world I see the hand of the Lord. So much intricacy! How vast is the Lord! I behold his majesty When I look up at the sky, So much to see! How vast is the Lord! Behold the infinite variety, Behold His creativity, So much intricacy! How vast is the Lord! The heavens will roll up like a scroll at Your command. There is none like You Nothing is impossible to you.

All praise and glory be to the Saviour (Holy and true) All power honour and dominion (Holy and true) The stone is rolled away He is risen (Holy and true) I will praise the lord according to His righteousness (Holy and true) And I’ll will sing praises to the name of the Most High I will praise you o Lord will my whole heart (Holy and true) Be exulted o Lord in your own strength (Holy and true) The heavens will pass away With a great noise and fervent heat. The Lord in his wisdom waits For the times of the Gentiles to be fulfilled. All praise and glory be to the Saviour (Holy and true) All power honour and dominion (Holy and true) The stone is rolled away He is risen (Holy and true)

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, (In His holy mountain) The city of the great King. God is in her palaces. Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I say rejoice.

Jonah 07:17
I’m wallowing in a fall of sin, Led two and fro by a deceitfully wicked heart. Forlorn I lay under a blanket of wrath, Undone I pray. I had been thrown overboard, The lord prepared a fish to swallow me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And you heard my voice. For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me. Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.’The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head. I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD, my God. “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer went up to You, Into Your holy temple. “Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy. But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

Who has believed our report?
 And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
 And as a root out of dry ground.
 He has no form or comeliness;
 And when we see Him,
 There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men,
 A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
 And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
 He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs
 And carried our sorrows;
 Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
 Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions,
 He was bruised for our iniquities;
 The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
 And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; 
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
 And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, 
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
 And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
 So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment,
 And who will declare His generation? 
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
 For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked
 But with the rich at His death, 
Because He had done no violence,
 Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; 
He has put Him to grief.
 When You make His soul an offering for sin,
 He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
 And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
 For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
 And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
 Because He poured out His soul unto death,
 And He was numbered with the transgressors,
 And He bore the sin of many,
 And made intercession for the transgressors. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
 Why are You so far from helping Me,
 And from the words of My groaning? O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;
 And in the night season, and am not silent. But You are holy, 
Enthroned in the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in You;
 They trusted, and You delivered them. They cried to You, and were delivered;
 They trusted in You, and were not ashamed. But I am a worm, and no man;
 A reproach of men, and despised by the people. All those who see Me ridicule Me;
 They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, “He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;
Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!” But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
 You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts. I was cast upon You from birth.
 From My mother’s womb
 You have been My God. Be not far from Me, 
For trouble is near;
 For there is none to help. Many bulls have surrounded Me;
 Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me. They gape at Me with their mouths,
 Like a raging and roaring lion. I am poured out like water, 
And all My bones are out of joint; 
My heart is like wax;
It has melted within Me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, 
And My tongue clings to My jaws; 
You have brought Me to the dust of death. For dogs have surrounded Me;
 The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
 They pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all My bones.
 They look and stare at Me. They divide My garments among them, 
And for My clothing they cast lots. But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me;
 O My Strength, hasten to help Me! Deliver Me from the sword,
 My precious life from the power of the dog. Save Me from the lion’s mouth
 and from the horns of the wild oxen!

Psalm 2 Song 05:49
Why do the nations rage,
 and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves,
 and the rulers take counsel together, 
against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
 and cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
 The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
 and distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King
 On My holy hill of Zion.” “I will declare the decree:
 The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
 Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You
 the nations for Your inheritance,
 and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; 
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ” Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
 Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear,
 and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
 and you perish in the way, 
When His wrath is kindled but a little. 
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. Why do the nations rage,
 and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves,
 and the rulers take counsel together, 
against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
 and cast away Their cords from us.”

I’m in the grip of the Saviour! He will never let go. No one will ever snatch me out of his hands. All my hope is In the king of Kings. Hallelujah, he set me free, He washed me clean. Hallelujah, he set me free, He forgave me, Hallelujah. I’m convinced nothing could ever Separate us from His love, No principalities nor powers, No created thing could ever loose his grip. Hallelujah, he set me free, He washed me clean. Hallelujah, he set me free, He forgave me, Hallelujah. For God so loved the world That he gave his only Begotten Son, That whosoever believes in Him should not perish but Have eternal life. Surrender to him, Abide in him. He is the Christ he is the king of kings, The lord of Lords and saviour of us all.

about

The fourth release by ‘Songs Of The Way’ entitled ‘For God So Loved The World’ is an acoustic guitar based finger picking album which lyrically focuses on salvation and the Saviour Himself, Jesus Christ. The first three songs open the album with a joyful sound centred around praise and awe toward God for the free gift of salvation he has offered us. It speaks of a longing and excitement for our eternal home. After these opening songs one can clearly perceive that the writer is fully aware of God's control over all these matters. A very peaceful song entitled ‘Holy Mountain’ then sets a reflective, contemplative mood, preparing the listener for the more somber songs to follow. A song called ‘Jonah’ is up next, it demonstrates how God is able to deliver us even from the very depths of the sea, when any situation seems hopeless, so great is his receptiveness to genuine repentance. This song intends to remind us of our sinfulness before God and our need for salvation. What follows this is a rather intense grouping of scripture concerning the suffering of our great God and Saviour Jesus, His perfect sinless life, the atoning sacrifice of His death on the cross, His rejection by the very people that should have been expecting His arrival, as well as the promise of his millennial reign. Having set the stage by establishing our need for a saviour and having graphically detailed the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, the album then closes with the title track ‘For God So Loved The World.’ This track presents the gospel to the listener, clarifying the reason for our Lord's sacrifice and the surety and permanence of salvation once the free gift God has offered us, is received. 'Songs Of The Way' hopes that believers will be edified by this work and that the lost will be drawn to repentance and an acceptance of the salvation offered to them through the finished work of Christ Jesus on the cross.
