VERSE 1: Are you happy in Jesus? Does the new leave you thrilled— That He carried the burden of sin That we rightly deserved to feel? VERSE 2: Would you rather have Jesus Than the praises of Kings? For you rest in the sweet commendation Of knowing you've been redeemed? CHORUS: Happy in Jesus! Forgiven and free— He means more than this Whole wide world to me Wonderful Jesus The One that I call My life, my peace, my joy My all in all VERSE 3 When temptation is calling? Do you flee to His side? As the pleasure of sin is eclipsed By the beauty of Jesus Christ? VERSE 4: Have you made Him your treasure? Have you counted the cost? And consider the life that He offers Is worth any earthly loss? CHORUS: Happy in Jesus! Forgiven and free— He means more than this Whole wide world to me Wonderful Jesus The One that I call My life, my peace, my joy My all in all BRIDGE 1: Grace to cover all my sin My life made new in Him I'm happy in the Lord Peace to ease my anxious mind Upheld by love divine I'm happy in the Lord VERSE 5: Do you long for His presence Just to be where He dwells For a day with the Savior is better Than thousands anywhere else CHORUS: Happy in Jesus! Forgiven and free— He means more than this Whole wide world to me Wonderful Jesus The One that I call My life, my peace, my joy My all in all BRIDGE 1: Grace to cover all my sin My life made new in Him I'm happy in the Lord Peace to ease my anxious mind Upheld by love divine I'm happy in the Lord BRIDGE 2: Hope invincible and sure Is mine forevermore I'm happy in the Lord God and heaven are my own My Father and my home I'm happy in the Lord

Refiner 05:50
VERSE 1: Be sweeter than the lure of sin And this my only joy: Relinquishing the whole of me To your holy employ. VERSE 2: My lust, my fury and my pride, Every rebellious whim, Deserve no right to hide, so I— Devote them to their end. CHORUS: Refiner, All-Consuming Fire, Burn away what's earthly in me And have Your way; Refiner, come and purify the Longings of my heart and captivate me By Your grace! VERSE 3: Search me and know me Holy Ghost— You know the mind of God!— You, who can seize infinite things, Exhaust each secret thought. VERSE 4: Turn over tables in my heart, Where I would sell my soul; Refine me 'til a hallowed zeal Consumes my flesh and bones CHORUS: Refiner, All-Consuming Fire, Burn away what's earthly in me And have Your way; Refiner, come and purify the Longings of my heart and captivate me By Your grace! BRIDGE: And who shall stand when the Son of Man Comes suddenly to judge the quick and dead? But the pure in heart, they shall see their God, All beautifully arrayed in righteousness! VERSE 5: Daily, O God I need Your grace, Glory is worth this war— All to see Jesus face to face, Where sin will be no more! CHORUS: Refiner, All-Consuming Fire, Burn away what's earthly in me And have Your way; Refiner, come and purify the Longings of my heart and captivate me By Your grace! BRIDGE: And who shall stand when the Son of Man Comes suddenly to judge the quick and dead? But the pure in heart, they shall see their God, All beautifully arrayed in righteousness! TAG: I wanna see Jesus (I wanna see Jesus) I wanna see Jesus (I wanna see you...) Burn away what's earthly in me And have Your way; I wanna see Jesus (I wanna see Jesus) I wanna see Jesus (I wanna see you...) Purify my heart and captivate me By Your grace!

What Is Man? 06:29
Verse 1: Who has hung the world on nothing, Traced the limits for the waves; Who commanded every morning, Since the onset of all days; Who numbered clouds by wisdom, Caused the dawn to know its place? Oh, He is the Lord! Chorus 1: He's the Lord, God almighty Our omniscient king From His kindness and wisdom Flow every good thing As we think on His deeds All the work of His hands In humility we ask "What is man?" "What is man?" Verse 2: Who alone does mighty wonders Parts the sea beneath His will; Conquers Kings and frees His people— Steadfast love enduring still? The Lord is our salvation And His plans will never fail, Oh, He is the Lord! Chorus 1: He's the Lord, God almighty Our omniscient king From His kindness and wisdom Flow every good thing As we think on His deeds All the work of His hands In humility we ask... Bridge: What is man that we can know Him? He is infinitely great! Who are we to be invited, Beckoned near to see and taste? Thanks to God, the God of heaven Reaching low to our estate, To show, He is the Lord! Chorus 1: He's the Lord, God almighty Our omniscient king From His kindness and wisdom Flow every good thing As we think on His deeds All the work of His hands In humility we ask "What is man?" "What is man?" Verse 3: Who to earth has condescended, Lower than the angels made; Tasted death for all the chosen, Faced the cross endured its shame? Now Jesus, crowned with glory, Ever lives and ever reigns, Oh, He is the Lord! Chorus 2: He's the Lord God, our savior He's Jesus, our king He is high and exalted, His praises we sing; For His throne is eternal, Forever it stands, So in reverence we proclaim: “Son of man!” “Son of man!”

VERSE 1 What melodies rise from our weeping How can we sing when we're so far from home What gives our grief purpose and meaning?: That Israel’s God ransomed us as His own. VERSE 2 Children of God, do not get weary Until your earthly work is done For here we have no lasting city That which we seek is yet to come Even through tears, we labor on We’re only passing through this Babylon CHORUS We need no harps to help us sing Salvation’s song in a strange land Lift up your hearts to Zion’s King Soon we'll behold new Jerusalem VERSE 3 So be prepared, watchful and sober Walk in this time as beloved exiles Our troubles here soon will be over Our Liberator will soon crack the sky Often struck down, never destroyed We journey on in the strength of His joy CHORUS We need no harps to help us sing Salvation’s song in a strange land Lift up your hearts to Zion’s King Soon we'll behold new Jerusalem BRIDGE 1 Our redemption’s at hand Sing your way to the promised land Our redemption’s at hand Soon we'll see new Jerusalem VERSE 4 Christ will avenge every injustice When He returns all our suffering will end We’ll sing a new song to Him who loved us Glory and honor to God and the Lamb Praise and dominion, forever, amen!

about

The first offering from Sunday Morning Songs and our house band, Hey Barnabas!

We pray these songs point your affection heavenward, stirs thanksgiving for the saints, and aims your beautiful feet to carry the glorious gospel of the only God and Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This album is made possible through the generous, cheerful gifts – musical, technical, administrative, prayerful, monetary, and of hospitality – of so many precious saints. Like Barnabas, out of your treasuring of the Savior and love for His Bride, you have laid your bounty at our doorstep and I trust the Lord will use this album to bless many and inspire new songs!

Thank you all!
