WORSHIP LYRICS
Holy God, we ask You to draw near
Filling our hearts, with holy fear
We will push through, to be with You
Come from Heaven, and meet us here
Mighty judgment, how right and true,
Words You’ve spoken, they will subdue
The light of day – will pass away
And’ our messiah – makes all – things new
CHORUS:
Lord God – we’ll never forget
That You – have come to forgive
We stand – and follow You yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the heavenly prize
Preaching life – wherever we rome
From the grave – You tell us to rise
And call us to – our long-forgotten home
We fall lifeless, Your face is shining bright
The whole earth shakes, beneath Your might
We must awake, our lives forsake
In the darkness – we’ll be – the light
From’ in Your word – we all have learned
Until this day – our hearts have yearned
Your sacrifice – has paid the price
What was stolen – must be returned
We must awake, our lives forsake
And give to God, our heart and soul
Chorus
Holy God, we ask You to draw near
Holy God, We Ask You To Draw Near Accompaniment Instrumental
ORIGINAL LYRICS
Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the heights
What was before, we see once more
Our kingdom a distant light
Fiery mountain beneath the moon
The words unspoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long-forgotten gold
We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold
From long ago when lanterns burned
Till this day our hearts have yearned
Her fate unknown the Arkenstone
What was stolen must be returned
We must awake and make the day
To find a song for heart and soul
Chorus
Far away from Misty Mountains cold.
