Songs from Reach for the Door

Come Into the River Now 
Come into the river now
Come into refreshing
Come into the river now
Come into refreshing
Jump into the steady flow
Dive in with both feet
Bask in the amazing glow
Sing triumphantly

‘Cause it’s rushing, powerful,
Setting His people free
It’s flooding, moving,
Moving out the enemy

Where will this river go?
Will it ever end?
The mouth of it is deep and wide
Brimming with the life from Him
I can see the people come
Coming for a drink so sweet
I can see their thirst quenched
Quenched by the water’s streams

Come in,
Come in,
Come into refreshing

Not Giving Up On Me Yet 
Your mercy endures forever
As far as the east to west
Your kindness crowns my longing
Not giving up on me yet

You execute bold righteousness
And justice for all oppressed
You satisfy my mouth with good things
Not giving up on me yet
Not giving up on me yet

And I will not forget Your goodness
I will not forget Your ways
You’ve redeemed my life from destruction
I am no longer a slave
Forgiven me of trespasses
Healed these bones of disease
As an eagle lifting to the heavens
Oh God I know I am free

Your compassion is everlasting
Slow to anger and rich in love
You have known me from the beginning
Not giving up on me yet

With all that’s in me
I will bless You
Bless Your holy name

Reach For the Door 
Today I took another step towards the door
Another step towards the Lord
You know, I’ve had fleeting thoughts
About this before
And I know I can no longer be afraid
My adversary would like to keep
My feet bound to this floor
Held up in my disappointments
But there is this longing in my spirit
To cross into a realm beyond my soul

He’s ready for me to
Rise to the calling
To awake in the dawning
Of this bright, new day
To a release of His glorious presence,
His power and essence
Falling on me

I’m humbled at such a display of mercy
Such a display of kindness
That is leading me
I’m challenged by this outpouring,
Heart-felt devotion
That I receive
I cannot go back to a place of complacency
A place of mediocrity
The place of defeat
Angels draw near to watch and listen
As His glory now glistens
On these nuances of destiny

Reach for the Door
Reach for the Door
Reach for the Lord

You Are the One 
You are the One who sets me free Oh Lord
You are the One I believe Oh Lord
Where can I go to find You?
How can I ascend the heights of truth?

To go up the holy hill
And stand in the Holy Place
Where God Is
To raise up my hands and voice
To seek the Ancient One
Of never ending days

You are the One who covers me with peace
You are the One I stretch to reach
Where is the generation who seeks You?
Is this the one who will do Your will?

HIGH AND LIFTED UP 
Above Your name there is none other
Be they princes, kings or lords
Your power and authority is like no other
Satan was defeated by Your sword
The highest peaks, the mighty oceans
What are they compared to Your name?
The heavens majestic above them
Can only join in this refrain

Your name is high and lifted up
High and lifted up
Your name is high, high, high

I surrender to Your lordship
I bow in the presence of the king
And with the answer of Isaiah,
“Here am I,” I sing
Awed in Your presence, I am strengthened
The power of Your Spirit resonates through me
Cascades of honor be to Your name
Kinsman Redeemer, Prince of Peace

Your name is high and lifted up
High and lifted up
Your name is high, high, high

Wonderful Peace
Warren D. Cornell & W. George Cooper
1889 public domain

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll!

Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!

I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul!

And me thinks when I rise to that city of peace,
Where the Anchor of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
In that heavenly kingdom will be:

Peace, wonderful peace
Coming down from the Father above

Thunder on the Mountain
There is a reckoning coming upon this generation
How can we say we will do when we surely don’t?
The Master has crops that are rotting in fields of injustice
While we hide our faces in a lowly place

“Where is the God of my fathers?” screams a coward
Where are the miracles I’ve only heard about?
Oh God will you permit the enemy’s endless plunder?
Will he be allowed to freely come in and go out?

You better get ready
There is thunder on the mountain
You better get ready
I hear trumpets and shouting
You better get ready
For the Glory cloud
You better get ready
He is coming down
Waves of glory surround my being
The train of His presence touches, touches over me

Mighty man of valor, dreamer of bold dreams
Yes it is you I’m seeking today; it’s not your foolish schemes
Might man of valor, “I AM” calls to you
Rise up from the threshing floor; this day is brand new

Mighty man of valor, you’ve mourned too many days
Yes your courage is intact; I’ve seen the fullness of your gaze
Mighty man of valor, the host of heaven’s on your side
Charge swiftly into battle in the power of His might

You better get ready
For an atmosphere change
You better get ready
This whole earth’s gonna shake
You better get ready
I hear the swords being drawn
You better get ready
Here comes the brightness of the dawn
Streams of justice shooting through the sky
I see the scepter of His authority being released to you and I

Seeing and Feeling (Elevation)
Seeing and feeling my way back to You
My heart is caught in a sweet perfume
Seeing and feeling my way back to You
Marvelous lights are filling my view

Seeing and feeling my way back to You
My soul is faced with beckoning truth
Seeing and feeling my way back to You
Your Word is fare that I consume

Senses are calmed in the warm expanse
Transcendent streams jump and dance
Thoughts are racing to places higher
Being lifted from the mire

Elevation, Elevation

Seeing and feeling my way back to You
My strength is touched as You renew
Seeing and feeling my way back to You
Angelic sounds enfold the room

Release comes on me while drawing near
Eternity meets me right here
Secrets and shadows are revealed
It’s revelation that I feel

Elevation, Elevation

Deep calling out to deep
Deep calling out to me
Seeing and feeling, trusting and knowing
That there is a God who never sleeps
Over my bed He stands and sings

In A Moment
In a moment stretched out over time I dance
My arms are free as I twirl
Like a bird I lift off from the ground
My heart raises to the sound

I am no longer bound
I am no longer bound

The air around me is new
My face fills so much differently from this view
I breathe the breath a baby breathes when born
My life seems so much simpler than before

I am no longer bound
I am no longer bound

Angels whisk about me as I smile
Praise comes out of me all the while
The throne room before my eyes appears
From laughter my heart is moved to tears

And what I see
Changes me forever
I am free to lift my hands so high
What I see
Hastens my will to stay here
For my destiny is found here
In this moment

God Bless Her Beautiful Life
Phrases of worship lift from her heart
They come up like dew on her breathe
The sky it dims over crimson trees
As the day comes to an end
“Come rest children,”
I hear the Father call
She nestles up to His great side of love
His voice a warm hearth
Where she falls

And God bless her beautiful life
God bless her beautiful life
Sing her to sleep
Oh great God of peace
And fill her dreams with Your light

There are blues and yellows
In dreams of gold
That dance before her sight
All her fears and frustrations are conquered here
By the God of goodness and right
Whispers of sounds of places abound
In her head while she is sleeping
His amazing grace covers her now
She is His for the keeping
