Lyrics to "The Eyes of All Look to You"

The eyes of all look to you

And You give them their food in due season

You open up Your hand, and satisfy

The desire of every living thing

To all those who are falling

Almighty God upholds you

To all who are bowed down

The Lord will raise you up

Chorus:

You are near

To all who call upon You

And You hear

The voice of all who fear You

Oh bless the Lord

Hallelujah

Let all flesh bless Your name

Forever and ever.

You preserve all who love You, in Your mercy

And all Your saints shall bless Your holy name

Your kingdom O Lord, is everlasting

Your promises are faithful and kind

To all those who are falling

Almighty God upholds you

To all who are bowed down

The Lord will raise you up

Hallelujah

To the Father and the Son

To the Holy Spirit

The faithful three in one

Hallelujah

To the Father and the Son

To the Holy Spirit

The faithful three in one

Amen

Part one of a two part meditation on this grace filled Psalm. John Andrew Schreiner sings "Your Mercy Is Over Us".

Lyrics for "Your mercy is over us"

I will extoll You

O Christ, my King

Every day I’ll bless you

Every night I’ll sing

Chorus:

How gracious and merciful

So good to all

How slow to anger

Abounding in love

Your mercy is over us

I will set my mind

On Your glorious splendor

II’ll sing of Your great work

To every generation

My Savior, my Provider, my Shepherd, my King

Great is the Lord

Greatly to be praised

Unsearchable greatness

With love and power to save

Chorus:

How gracious and merciful

You are so good to all

How slow to anger

Abounding in love

Your mercy is over us

What does it mean to embrace correction? What is true friendship? This is an especially pertinent topic for our times, when we see our churches full of division. Izzi Ray sings "It's Your Kindness"

Lyrics to "It's Your Kindness"

Humble me O Lord

When my heart is proud

Let the righteous strike me

If I follow the crowd

A word from my sister

In and out of season

To save me from danger

Because my spirit needs it

Chorus

I need kindness

An act of a friend

Keeping watch

Over the door of my lips

Turn my eyes away

From the trap of temptation

By your grace, turn my eyes

Back to You

By your grace, O Christ, turn my eyes

Back to You

Can I sit at the table

If I hate correction

If I cannot tell evil

Or the fruit of deception

Let me love the Word of truth

And Your word of reproof

From a stranger or a friend

As though it came from You

Bring me to the table

By the hand my friend

Don’t let me wander

To the bitter end
