“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”

2 Corinthians 13:14

Grace...love...fellowship. This is what God invites us to participate in as we worship Him–an endless spring of inexpressible joy, affection, and beauty

that the Father, Son, and Spirit have experienced from all eternity.

Apart from God revealing Himself to us as triune we would never know Who He really is. But the Trinity isn’t so much a puzzle to be figured out as it is a relationship

to enjoy. The goal isn’t complete understanding, but complete delight.

As we wrote the songs for this album, we wanted to inspire gratefulness and wonder that the Father has joined us to Himself through the substitutionary sacrifice of His

Son and sent His Spirit to open our eyes to His love.

We pray that’s what happens as you listen to and sing these songs.

YOUR NAME IS MATCHLESSMusic and Words by Neil DeGraide and Colin Edge© 2015 Sovereign Grace Praise (BMI)/Sovereign Grace Worship (ASCAP)

VERSE 1We were sinners, we were orphans, we were looking for a homeWe were lost and we were broken, wandering aloneLooking down at our condition, You sent Your Son to change our fateThough we were hopelessly imprisoned He came to take our place

CHORUS 1Glory to the name of Jesus, glory to the only name that savesRansomed the captives; Your name is matchless

VERSE 2What a mystery to fathom that we’re Your children set apartFor we were enemies, not pilgrims, prodigals at heartBut Your Spirit now has caused us to no longer doubt Your loveAbba, Father, You have bought us, adopted through Your Son

CHORUS 2Glory to the name of Jesus, glory to the only name that savesRansomed the captives; Your name is matchlessGlory to the name that freed us, glory to the love that made a wayBeauty for ashes; Your name is matchless

BRIDGEGlory to Your Name (x3)

VERSE 3Ponder all we have been given: heirs to God through Jesus’ nameA stingless death has been made certain and glory now awaitsYour glory now awaits

SOONER COUNT THE STARSMusic and Words by Doug Plank and Steve & Vikki Cook

© 2015 Sovereign Grace Worship (ASCAP)

VERSE 1I could sooner count the stars than number all Your ways

Though I only know in part, that part exceeds all praiseAs sunlight fills the skies Your goodness fills my lifeFor all Your precious gifts receive my gratefulness

VERSE 2I could sooner drink the seas than fathom all Your love

Like a never ceasing stream are mercies through Your SonThe death of Christ alone deserves eternal songFor such a love as His receive my gratefulness

CHORUSNo praise is high enough, no thanks is deep enough

No life is long enough to tell of all You’ve doneNo shout is loud enough, no words are strong enough

No song is sweet enough to sing Your love

VERSE 3I could sooner turn back time than turn Your heart away

Though the years go fleeting by, Your mercies never changeBefore You made the sun Your love was set on us

For all Your faithfulness receive my gratefulness

CLING TO CHRISTMusic and Words by Jason Hansen, Bob Kauflin, and David LaChance, Jr.

© 2015 Sovereign Grace Praise (BMI)

VERSE 1Father, I can come to You and boast of deeds I’ve done

In my pride I strive to earn the favor Christ has wonHe alone pleads my acceptance, all my works aside

So I come with empty hands and I cling to Christ

VERSE 2Father, I can go astray and battle needless fears

Voices tell me I’m condemned and that I can’t draw nearBut Your Spirit calls me homeward with Your words of life

Jesus bore my every sin, so, I cling to Christ

BRIDGEIt’s more than I can do

To keep my hold on You But all my hope and peace

Is that You cling to me

VERSE 3Father, all my earthly aims in time will turn to dust

Let me learn that loss is gain for those who know Your loveAll the treasures of this world will never satisfy You alone are endless joy, so, I cling to Christ

For we have a great salvation in His nameChrist alone, the Life, the Truth, the Way
