1. Bring Us To Heaven 
(C. Giacinto. E. Elder, E. McKinney)

Bring us to Heaven now
We want to see our new home
We want to see what it looks like in Heaven
Show us your Glory now
We want to hear trumpets sound
We want to see angels fly on high

Bring us to Heaven now
We want to touch your throne
We want to feel
what it feels like in Heaven
Show us your Glory now
We want to hear trumpets sound
We want to see angels fly on high

Bring us to Heaven now
We want to breathe your fresh air
We want to breathe
what you breathe in Heaven
Show us your Glory now
We want to Hear trumpets sound
We want to see angels fly on high

Bring us to Heaven now
We want to touch your throne
We want to feel
what it feels like in Heaven
We want a glimpse of the place
that will soon be our home

2. In The Sanctuary
(C. Giacinto, T. Johnson)

Praise the Lord in the Sanctuary
Lift His name on high
Sing and dance in the Sanctuary
Let His praises fill the sky

The glory cloud of the Lord comes down
And it billows through this place
Shouts of joy and acclamation rise
To kiss the throne of Heavenly grace

Praise the Lord in the sanctuary
Every tribe and tongue
Raise your banners and play your instruments
Lifting high the Holy One

The angels offer up the prayers of the saints
Mixed with incense from above
The Cherubim and the Seraphim
Raise their voices up as one

3. Come Holy Spirit
(S. Finkill)

Come Holy Spirit
Fill this place with Your presence
Come Holy Spirit
fill this place with Your love

Restore my soul, Bear me up on eagle's wings
When I am weary, O my Lord I need Your strength
Come fill me now, sweet, sweet Holy Spirit

4. Purify
(C. Giacinto)

I can feel You surrounding me
Every breath in Your presence brings life to me
And every time I close my eyes
It's You I find, giving light, for me to see
So purify this heart and set me free

I can hear You calling me
Whispers of Your love
They bring comfort to me
And like a child You hold me near
Until I find it's you alone I see
So purify my heart, and set me free

5. Stay
(T. Johnson, C. Giacinto)

Stay, please stay, I feel Your 
Breath upon me...stay
Stay, Stay with me
Throughout the day
In Your love I'm made complete
All the shadows fade away
'Cause I'm living in the light
Of Your love
Please stay with me...stay

6. Be Thou Exalted
(C. Giacinto)

Be thou exalted O God
Above all the Heavens
Be thou exalted O God
And Your Glory above all the Earth

For Thy Mercy is great above the Heavens
And Your Truth reaches unto the sky
I will sing and give praise with my whole heart
I will praise You O Lord most high

7. Into My Presence
(B. Mitchell)

Come into My Presence
Come give me reverence
And I will touch your heart (repeat)

There is fullness of joy
There is love, there is hope
There is grace, there is peace
There is all that you need
Come and worship so free
Pour your heart out before me
And I will change you in my presence

I come to Your presence
I come give You reverence
And You will touch my heart (repeat)

There is fullness of joy
There is love, there is hope
There is grace, there is peace
There is all that I need
I will worship so free
Pour my heart out before Thee
And You will change me in Your presence

8. You Are My Lord
(C. Giacinto, E. McKinney, V. Doll)

I feel His love pouring down on me
Like a river flowing to the sea
I feel His mercy, and how it covers over me
His grace, it s the hand that shelters me

Give me eyes of faith to see
All You want me to be

You are my Lord, and I will always praise You (repeat)

Give me eyes of faith to see
Hands that serve You faithfully
Give me wisdom to follow after Thee
A heart to worship with love and purity

9. A Thousand Times More
(T. Johnson, C. Giacinto)

I feel your touch upon me like a warm summer breeze
Each day I'm amazed at the love that you've shown me
You warm me by the light of the Sun's gentle glow
I'm so uncertain of this life, but one thing I know...

In the thunderous waves that crash to the shore
I swear I hear "I love you" a thousand times more
More than human lips have ever spoken before
I swear, I hear "I love you" a thousand times more

How wondrous is the love that descends from on high
reaching down to lift broken spirits up to the sky
Taking me up into the pavilions of light
Wrapped in clouds of Glory so bright

Mightier than a warrior, spear like a great weaver's beam
More beautiful You are than any young lover's dream
Taking me up in Your beauty, dressing me up in Your love
You call to me sweetly, "Come fly away my little dove."
(away to the clefts of the rock)
