We Three Kings of Orient Are / Light of the World
Words and Music by Rev. John Henry Hopkins 1857 / Cherie Csikos (2011)
Verse 1
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
Verse 2
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
Chorus
O – Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Verse 3
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heav’n replies (To Chorus)
Bridge
Light of the world
(Glorious, Risen King)
Shine on me
Light of the world
(Eternal Lord, Prince of Peace)
Shine through me

King of kings and Lord of lords
Alpha and Omega
Beginning and the end, first and the last
Bright and Morning Star
His Mercy Endures

So that none can stand against You?

Shall You not watch over to perform it?
You declare, shall it not come to pass?
I will not fear what stands before me

Verse 1
Rescue me in the midst of the confusion
I push, I beat the air, I cry out in desperation
Answer me in the darkness of the night
“Why am I still here in the middle of this fight?”
Prechorus 1
I throw my hands up, beg for mercy
Get on my knees and pray
“Oh God, have Your way!”
Then I hear You whispering

Speak to me in the quiet of the night
I still my anxious heart, and I cry, “Holy, holy, holy”
Hold me close in the safety of Your arms
I know that You are God and you will get me through this fight

I raise my hands up, in surrender
Fall on my knees and pray
“Oh God, have Your way!”
And I hear You calling me to
Chorus
“Wait on Me, I’ll strengthen your heart
I’ll carry you, and give you peace
I’ll build in you the gold I need
To entrust you with my best
I’ll challenge, stretch and grow you
And burn away the rest
So wait on Me
Oh be still, and wait on Me”
Bridge
Your light will shine gloriously
Your love will reign eternally
Your Truth will stand immovably
You remain
Your light will shine gloriously
Your love will reign eternally
Your Truth will stand immovably
And all You ask of me is
You’re the One (I Waited For)
Words and Music by Cherie Csikos (2012)
Verse 1
O my love, you’ve stolen my heart
My only love, you alone hold my heart
For you make me sing a melody I’ve never sung
And you sing along in harmony
A song that is ours alone
Forever
Chorus
You’re the one I waited for
The only one my heart adores
They ask me, “Was it worth the wait?”
Oh you are, you are, you are
Verse 2
When you hold my hand, I’m free to be me
When I’m holding yours, you’re strong as can be
For your heart is safe completely in my love
And you’d give your life so willingly for mine
We’ll face every storm that comes
Together

I slumbered, I slept, in purity kept
Now you’ve come along and woken my song
My love
Face to Face

Verse 1
Holy, holy,
My soul cries holy
Glory, honour,
And praise belongs to You
Chorus
Oh, to see You face to face
To know You as I’m known
I count all else as loss
To gain this alone:
To take hold of You
To be found in You
Verse 2
So I wait on You, I wait on You,
My soul will wait on You
Hide me in Your secret place,
Where I will dwell with You

Purify my heart, that I behold Your face

I surrender all, that I be wholly Yours

Christ Reigns Forever
Words and Music by Cherie Csikos (2013)
Verse 1
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Who can stand before Him, in the light of His glory?
Verse 2
Praise Him, praise Him, all the earth, for He alone is worthy
Clothed in strength and mercy, He is Faithful and True
Chorus
All of heaven’s bursting with a song to sing
For the King of kings
His light shines forth in majesty and splendour
For eternity
We fall to our knees, oh, and all we can sing is:
“Hallelujah, Christ reigns forevermore!”
Verse 3
He comes to judge the nations, in righteousness
Each knee will bow and tongue confess that Christ is the Lord
Bridge
The heavens and the earth shall flee away from the face
Of the One who sits upon the Throne
All people, small and great, will stand before Him on that day
And each man’s work will come into the light
The heavens and the earth will be made new
Praise the Lord! He makes all things new
And behold, He dwells with us
Oh, it comes, yes, He comes
Tag
Hallelujah, Christ reigns forever x4
I Will Trust
Words and Music by Cherie Csikos (2013)
Part 1: Oh, I will trust, my soul will trust in You,
faithful God
Part 2: My hope is in You, my strength is in You
Part 3: Anchor for my soul, You won’t let me go

Echoes
Words and Music by Cherie Csikos (2013)
Verse 1
You are the song within my heart
The melody I hear in fragments from the distance
Echoes from another world
The song I was born to sing for eternity
Verse 2
All other songs that I know
Are only shadows of the one resounding in the heavens
And I cannot find the words until I am clothed in immortality
Chorus
When death is swallowed up in victory
And only Love and Truth remain
When those who’ve waited for You faithfully
Come to see You face to face
When it’s all been stripped away, tried and tested in the fire
Only then will I find myself in You
Verse 3
You are the potter, I’m the clay
And You are moulding me into
Your master workmanship
Refining the gold in me
For all You’ve prepared for me for Eternity
Bridge
So help me see the truth, that all the good in me
Is just a glimpse of You, that it’s Your Life in me
And show me how to walk on this road toward Home
It’s where I’ll finally rest, in You
Verse 4
All other songs that I know
Are only shadows of the one
Resounding in the heavens
And I will find the words when I,
I am clothed in immortality
Grain of Wheat
Words and Music by Cherie Csikos (2013)
Verse 1
I’ve stepped out of the boat onto the water
There’s nothing to hold onto but You
The ocean depths beneath me
The waves swelling around me
I can’t see the steps before me
And all I have is You
Verse 2
I lay myself freely upon the altar
Till there’s nothing left in me but You
You press me and refine me
You fill me up with Glory
You’re revealing glimpses of Your holiness
Till all I want is You
Prechorus
And this was Your plan all along
Chorus
I am a grain of wheat falling to the ground
I only feel the darkness and the dying
But when the Spring has fully come
You will breathe in me Your life
And I will rise to be all You planned for me
Bridge
So I won’t ask You to save me from the stormy seas
But I will walk step by step with You
And I won’t resist laying me down upon the altar
For this is Your road to glory
I Know Who Holds Me
Words and Music by Cherie Csikos (2013)
Verse 1
When the promises I’ve held onto
Are slipping through my fingers
And I’m standing face to face with Impossibility
When my world is crashing down around me
It looks like everything I thought
I knew was an illusion
Then that still, small voice inside me says
Prechorus
“Be still and know that I AM God
Be still and know that I AM God”
Chorus
Then (And) I remember Who You are
The One Who framed the world by the power of His Word
Who calls the morning stars to sing and all the heavens join in
I remember Who You are
You walked on water, calmed the tempest of the sea
You conquered Death eternally
You are God, and I know You hold me
1st: I know You hold me
2nd: I know You are To Bridge
Verse 2
Your promises are faithful
Even when I’m feeling faithless
‘Cause I’m standing with the God of Impossibility
I know my world is safe in Your hands
And I’m coming to the realisation that
You exceed all I can imagine
And there’s that pressing on my heart that says
Bridge
Glorious, Eternal King
Be glorified magnificently
Prince of Peace, The Faithful One
Be glorified magnificently
Be glorified
