Be My song

Words & Music: Carissa Vann (ASCAP) | Lead & Backing Vocals: Carissa Vann | Piano: Carissa Vann | Acoustic & Electric Guitars, Bass, Synth: Hank Hamberg | Drums: Tyson Sheth

I’m still bound to the chains You took away

I’m still a slave to sin and shame

 

Oh I need the cleansing fountain

Where my soul finds rest

Take me to the cross of Jesus

Be my hope, my strength, my song

Be my hope, my strength, my song

 

On my own is a dark and lonely road

I need Your light to break through the night

 

I turn my eyes to see You Lord

You’re my help and hope secure

My fear is gone

When I’m weak, You are strong

And I stand in awe of who You are

 

You’re my hope

You’re my strength

You’re my song


It Is Well

Words & Music: Public Domain | Arrangement: Carissa Vann & Hank Hamberg | Lead & Backing Vocals: Carissa Vann Piano: Carissa Vann | Acoustic & Electric Guitars, Bass: Hank Hamberg | Drums: Tyson Sheth

 

When peace like a river attendeth my way

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot You have taught me to say

It is well, it is well, with my soul

 

It is well with my soul

It is well with my soul

It is well, it is well, with my soul

 

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought

My sin, not in part but the whole

Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

 

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll

The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend

Even so, it is well with my soul


Let Me See

Words & Music: Carissa Vann (ASCAP) | Lead & Backing Vocals: Carissa Vann | Piano: Carissa Vann | Cello: Aimee Norris  Acoustic Guitar, Bass: Hank Hamberg | Drums: Tyson Sheth

 

When faith is weak and sorrow deep

Give me a song that I can sing

When peace is lost and hope feels gone

Remove the sand I’m standing on

 

Take the veil from my eyes

Let me see the sacrifice

Of three nails and a wounded side

Of love that rose to give me life

 

When life is scattered on the floor

Remind me there’s an open door

When peace is lost and hope feels gone

The solid rock I will stand on

 

Be still my soul, for you are free

Be still my soul, find rest in Thee


Changing Still

Words & Music: Carissa Vann (ASCAP) | Lead & Backing Vocals: Carissa Vann | Piano: Carissa Vann | Acoustic & Electric Guitars, Bass: Hank Hamberg | Drums: Tyson Sheth

 

In the struggle I’m prone to doubt

My hope is fading

Why has my praise run out

 

Jesus take my hand and lead me on

Wandering heart, look to the Lord

And don’t loose faith now

 

Lord You saved me at my worst

But I’m forgetful You loved me first

 

So what’s to think you won’t save me now

Wandering heart, look to the Lord

And don’t loose faith now

 

He bore my sin and carried my shame

He won my peace at Calvary

And I am justified by His blood

I am saved by the life of Jesus Christ

 

I am changed

Changing still

I am changed

Changing still

 

I’ve tasted and I’ve seen how good you are

So wandering heart, look to the Lord

And don’t loose faith now

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I am changed


Be Thou My vision

Words & Music: Public Domain | Arrangement: Carissa Vann & The Newfoundlands (Becky & Phil Waggoner) | Lead & Backing Vocals: Carissa Vann, Becky, & Phil Waggoner | Piano: Carissa Vann | Acoustic & Electric Guitars: Phil Waggoner  Bass: Hank Hamberg | Drums: Tyson Sheth

 

Be Thou my vision O Lord of my heart

Nought be all else to me, save that Thou art

Thou my best thought, by day or by night

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

 

Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord

Thou my great Father and I Thy true son

Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

 

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise

Thou mine inheritance now and always

Thou and Thou only first in my heart

High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art

 

High King of heaven my victory won

May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall

Still be my vision, O Ruler of all


Make It Right

Words & Music: Carissa Vann (ASCAP) | Lead & Backing Vocals: Carissa Vann | Piano: Carissa Vann | Acoustic & Electric Guitars, Bass: Hank Hamberg | Drums: Tyson Sheth

 

For all the tired and all the worn

For all who fear and all who mourn

And to the hopeless when strength is gone

And to the peace-less without a song

 

There is a love

That’s yours and mine

So amazing, so divine

This love

That’s yours and mine

Takes the broken

And makes it right

He’ll make it right

 

All through the changing and through the doubt

And in the waiting when faith runs out

Though you feel like no one is there

Oh He did not forget You

 

By His love that cannot cease

It is our joy and perfect peace

We are forgiven

By His love that cannot cease

It is our joy and perfect peace

 

We are free

By His love that cannot cease

It is our joy and perfect peace

We are saved


How great thou art

Words & Music: Public Domain | Arrangement: Carissa Vann & Hank Hamberg | Lead Vocals: Carissa Vann | Backing Vocals: Wesley Nilsen | Piano: Carissa Vann | Acoustic & Electric Guitars, Bass: Hank Hamberg | Drums: Tyson Sheth

 

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout the universe displayed

 

And when I think of God, His Son not sparing

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing

He bled and died to take away my sin

 

Then sings my soul

My Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art

How great Thou art

Then sings my soul

My Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art

How great Thou art

 

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow with humble adoration

And there proclaim, "My God, how great You are!”
