Today... 'Everlasting Father
The Everlasting Father came to earth as the Son
Great mystery of Godliness in the Belovéd One
God manifest in the flesh for all the world to see
In Jesus dwelt the fullness of Godhead bodily
For the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace
Came from heaven to earth Satan's captives to release
Bringing us the grace of God as earths' pathways He trod
reaching out with arms opened so wide with the love of God

Today... 'Friend
This is my dear Friend and my Lover
who satisfies me like no other
and there is no other One for me
so altogether lovely is He
My Advocate and Intercessor.
His love is boundless without measure.
With words of sweetness and tender mercy
He pleads before the throne of God for me.
Jesus my Lord and Saviour from high
interprets to God the tears I cry.
I sing the praise of this Friend of mine
for He is the Man of God divine.

Today... 'Father God
Kneeling before my Father God I pray
that out of His glorious riches I may
be strengthened through the power of His Spirit
and together with all the saints I'll inherit
a love which all knowledge surpasses
and be filled with the measure of His fullness.
To know how wide and long and high and deep
Is the love that Christ for all of His lost sheep
So that He may by faith dwell within my heart
where no power in in hell can ever part.

Today... 'The Everlasting Light
Bethlehem Ephrathah the smallest of every clan
as prophesied out of you has come the long promised man.
Now no more is the sun required to lighten up each day
The Everlasting Light of heaven illuminates our way.
Days of sorrow have ended and the days of joy begin
through walls of Salvation and gates of Praise I've entered in.
Eternal Light from heaven is now shining upon me
For the Light of the Glory of God in Your face I see.

Today... 'Child
It was within a young virgins' womb
That the Child of God was given room
Because Mary the angels believed
Through the Holy Spirit she conceived
And wise men came with their gifts of gold
From distant lands the Child to behold
For to us the Christ Child was given
To show us the way to get to heaven
For this Child was the long promised One
Who came to earth as Gods' Only Son
This male Child she has given birth to
Came down to earth to save me and you

Today... 'He Who is true
Truth untainted, so holy and so pure
holds the key that can open heavens door.
He's given us understanding to know
the truth that only Jesus Christ can show
The only Way, the Truth the Life is He
God's One and Only Son Who has the key.
True God and giver of eternal life
Who lived a life of Truth and sacrifice.
Truly God and Man in full Deity
God in a body of humanity.
Truth personified in our human flesh
Jesus Christ our Lord and Righteousness.

Today... 'Jesus of Nazareth
The Prophet they put to death
was Jesus of Nazareth.
For they had Him crucified
and upon the cross He died.
Then Jesus of Nazareth
Cried "Forgive" with His last breath
And then bowing His head
Entered the realms of the dead
But Jesus of Nazareth
then burst through the gates of Death
For He was the Promised One
God's Only Belovèd Son.
Now Jesus of Nazareth
has conquered Sin and Death.
He has risen from the grave
with power and might to save.

Today... 'Glory
Images or idols can never replace
our great God of wondrous Glory and Grace.
How can we forget the Lord of Heaven
Who suffered that we might be forgiven?
Come, join now with me in singing His praise
and let us our heavenly anthem raise
with the harmony of worship and of love
to our Glorious Lord Who reigns above.
Glory and all Glory everlasting be
To Christ Jesus Who gave His life for me.
I sing praise to my Lord of Glory
as I tell salvations wondrous story.

Today... 'The Branch of the Lord
Beautiful, glorious Branch of the Lord
The One and Only true and Living Word
Tried and tested refuge from heat and rain
A shelter from all of life's storms and pain
Israel followed the cloud during the day
A pillar of fire at night led the way
Cleansed from all the stains of sinful desire
by a spirit of judgment and of fire
Over the glory there's a canopy
Protection provided for you and me
As we walk in faith and follow his Way
'I'll never forsake you' we hear Him say

Today... 'Faithful Creator
Look to the heavens and hear the stars sing
of their Faithful Creator who made everything.
All the great planets and stars arranging
He's so unchangeable and unchanging.
This Wonderful Creator the created became
and died to save us from our sin and shame.
A brand new creation has now begun
created anew by God's Faithful Son.
Let's turn to Him and the Gospel obey
Walking with Jesus the heavenly way.
Then forever with the Lord we shall be
dwelling with Jesus for eternity.
