Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord

Lyrics

HOW GREAT THOU ART

Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

CHORUS:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

THE NATIONS RAGE
(Psalm 2)

Why do the nations rage?
Why do the peoples plot in vain
Seeking to rid themselves of Christ’s dominion?—
A theme that’s true in any age—
O tell me, why do the heathen nations rage?

Kings and rulers take their stand
Against the Lord and His Anointed Lamb
To tear from them Messiah’s cords and fetters
And set themselves upon His stage
O tell me, why do the heathen nations rage?

The God of heaven laughs at them
He laughs them all to scorn—
“I’ve set my King on holy Zion’s hill”
He rebukes them in His anger
Says, “Today My Child is born
And woe to those refusing My goodwill”

“My Son, just ask of Me
And I will give the nations of the earth
For You to rule them with a mighty iron rod
For You to dash them all to pieces
And then pound them into dirt
Until You spread Your fame and power and love abroad
’til all the nations bow before the Son of God”

Now listen, kings, be wise
All you rulers, come and check your pride
Get down on your knees, rejoice with trembling
Kiss the Son while He is near
And let your rage become a holy fear

The Son of God calls out to you:
“Come find your rest in Me
Come stand with Me up here on Zion’s hill
My rage will soon be kindled
So you best come bow your knee
And woe to those refusing My goodwill”

“My Son, just ask of Me
And I will give the nations of the earth
For You to rule them with a mighty iron rod
For You to dash them all to pieces
And then pound them into dirt
Until You spread Your fame and power and love abroad
’til all the nations bow before the Son of God”

GOD OF VENGEANCE
(Psalm 94)

God of vengeance, O Jehovah, God of vengeance, O shine forth!
Rise up, O You Judge of Nations! Render to the proud their worth. 
O Lord, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked boast?
Arrogant that words they pour out, Ill men all, a taunting host.

They, Jehovah, crush Your people, And your heritage distress;
They kill sojourner and widow, murder they the fatherless.
And they say Jehovah sees not; Jacob’s God does not have eyes.
Understand, O brutish people! When, O fools, will you be wise?

Who the ear made, does He hear not? Who formed eyes, does He not see?
Who warns nations, does He smite not? Who men teaches, knows He not?
All the thoughts of men the Lord sees, Knows that but a breath are they.
Blessed the man whom You chastise, Lord, Whom You teach to know Your way.

Give him rest from days of trouble, till the wicked be o’er thrown.
Our Lord will not leave His people, Will abandon not His own. 
When to every verdict given Justice shall come back again,
Everyone whose heart is upright will see righteous judgment then.

Who for me withstands the wicked? Who against wrong pleads for me?
If the Lord were not my helper, Soon my soul would silent be.
If I say, “My foot is slipping!” Lord, Your mercy will uphold.
When my anxious thoughts are many, how Your comforts cheer my soul!

Can destructive rulers join You and by law disorder build?
They conspire against the righteous, sentence just ones to be killed. 
But the Lord is still my stronghold; God, my Refuge, will repay:
He’ll for sin wipe out the wicked; then the Lord our God will slay.”

THE VOICE AS STRONG AS THUNDER

The voice as strong as thunder will be heard across the land
Calling to the magistrates to save our neighbor man
Who wearing robes as black as sin have stained our soil red
The voice as strong as thunder will be felt across the land

The voice as strong as thunder will be heard across the land
Calling to the guilty ones to save our neighbor man
Who full of sin have hired men to slay their flesh and blood
The voice as strong as thunder will be felt across the land

The voice as strong as thunder will be heard across the land
Calling to the healers now to save our neighbor man
Who tread upon the innocent and tear them limb from limb
The voice as strong as thunder will be felt across the land

The voice as strong as thunder will be heard across the land
Calling to the Christians to save our neighbor man
Who turn their eyes and pass on by the man on this Jericho road
The voice as strong as thunder will be felt across the land

The voice as strong as thunder will be heard across the land
Calling to the people now to save our neighbor man
Peace, oh peace! They are at peace with murder on their watch
The voice as strong as thunder will be felt across the land

Peace, oh peace! They are at peace with murder on their watch
The voice as strong as thunder will be felt across the land

SOME FACTS

Our Response to Genocide in Kansas:

Babies killed Every Day

For 50 years. And that is only the children we know are killed in Kansas. The reporting standards are not exact. This does not count children killed by their parents using “the Pill,” Plan B, IUD’s, or IVF.

Evangelical Christians

Most of which claim to be “Pro-Life.” Many volunteer for, donate to, and vote with “Pro-Life” organizations. Are these Christians doing anything tangible about the baby genocide? Do they even know that “the Pill” they are on kills conceived children or that baby murder Plan B pills are sold in every grocery store?

Of Weekly Abortions have Christians Present

Of the weekly hours in which abortions are performed, 26% of the time, there is at least 1 Christian present, protesting and pleading with parents. And that is our best week. Does abortion actually matter to Christians?

What if thousands of Christians finally showed up to demand abortion be abolished at the Capitol?
