Oh The Love Of God (He Called My Name)

Thrill Gaither started in a City Psalms Songwriter Coaching Group, where five songwriters met over six weeks to co-write songs inspired by Isaiah 40-43. Over those six weeks, Erik Dahlber, Brian Goodall, Payton Goldston, Jameiz Grigsby, and Paige Jackson generated more than 30 chorus ideas, developing many into full songs. They recruited Adam Almli and Will Price to fill out their band and recorded their first album. Oh The Love Of God is an offering of six songs from their co-writing experience, with the hope of recording more songs in the future. Thrill Gaither is a truly collaborative band, featuring seven musicians from six different churches in Tucson, AZ.

Lyrics

Come Home

(ISAIAH 43:1-7)

Do not fear for I am with you
I have called you by your name
Save your tears I have received you
No more crying

Though you're splashing through a river
Though you're drowning in a sea
Though you're walking through the fire
It'll all be fine

I've been chasing you
For the longest time
Fighting to break through to you
I'd leave the ninety-nine
Cause you are mine
Cause you are mine

You are blind but I will lead you
You have ears, but do not hear
Out of filth, I have redeemed you
And you're always on my mind
When you're walking through the desert
When you're fighting through the storm
When you stumble through the darkness
It'll all be fine

I've been chasing you
For the longest time
Fighting to break through to you
I'd leave the ninety-nine
Cause you are mine
Cause you are mine

If you walk away, my heart follows
I can't make you stay, you should know
If you turn from me and go
I will wait for you to come home
If you walk away, my heart follows
I can't make you stay, you should know
If you turn from me and go
I will wait for you to come home
I will wait for you to come home

I've been chasing you
For the longest time
Fighting to break through to you
I'd leave the ninety-nine
I've been chasing you
For the longest time
Fighting to break through to you
I'd leave the ninety-nine
Cause you are mine
You are mine
It'll all be fine
Cause you are mine

Prepare The Way

(ISAIAH 40:2-5)

Every valley made high
Every mountain made low
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord
Every crooked way right
Make straight the broken road
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord

Speak tender
New Jerusalem
Talk about the sad days
That now are fading away
Your people will return home
For their punishment
Was pardoned this day

Every valley made high
Every mountain made low
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord
Every crooked way right
Make straight the broken road
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord

Shout out to the heavens
About the coming Lord
Who's surely on His way
His Word, has gone before Him
Straightening the deserts
Making highways

Every valley made high
Every mountain made low
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord
Every crooked way right
Make straight the broken road
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord

Your glory be revealed today
We'll all see You make a way, my Lord
Your glory be revealed today
We'll all see You make a way, my Lord
My Lord

Every valley made high
Every mountain made low
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord
Every crooked way right
Make straight the broken road
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord

Every valley made high
Every mountain made low
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord
Every crooked way right
Make straight the broken road
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord
Oh please, prepare the way, my Lord

Turning Your Desert To Springs

(ISAIAH 40:11)

Fear not for I am with you
I will lift you
Up above on eagle's wings
Fear not for I will make new
Love will break through
Turning deserts into springs

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I’m turning your deserts to springs
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I’m turning your deserts to springs

You walk through the valley of death
I will give rest
By the side of quiet streams
Though fear may rise up in you
I am with you
Keeping watch and protecting

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I’m turning your deserts to springs
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I’m turning your deserts to springs

Though you might not see how
I’m working all things out
You might be in a drought
But I’m living waters now

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I’m turning your deserts to springs
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I’m turning your deserts to springs

You Make All Things New

(ISAIAH 42:9)

Waking up, I've been born again
Only by Your grace
Don't wanna waste another minute of
This gift of faith

I'm diving into Your Word
Choosing surrender
Lovin' You a lifetime
I am Yours, You are mine

I won't look back at former things
They fade away like winter to spring
Cause You make, You make all things new
What's done is done can't hold regrets
I find hope in the words "not yet"
Cause You make, You make all things new

In the race I am not surprised
When I make mistakes
Cause You say trouble comes in this life
But You will calm the waves

I'm diving into Your Word
Choosing surrender
Lovin' You a lifetime
I am Yours, You are mine

I won't look back at former things
They fade away like winter to spring
Cause You make, You make all things new
What's done is done can't hold regrets
I find hope in the words "not yet"
Cause You make, You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new

I might not understand
But I'm trusting Your plan
For nothing in Your hands is impossible
I might not understand
But I'm trusting Your plan
For nothing in Your hands is impossible

I won't look back at former things
They fade away like winter to spring
Cause You make, You make all things new
What's done is done can't hold regrets
I find hope in the words "not yet"
Cause You make, You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new

Victorious

(ISAIAH 41:10)

There is a valley
There is a low place
When all my hope seems lost
Even in sadness
Even through my pain
I know You're speaking, God

“Do not fear what life has in store for you
It’ll be OK,” that’s what You said
“Do not fear, courage and strength
Are coming your way
And in you, I will be victorious
I will be victorious”

You go before me
You go behind me
You’re with me all of my days, I will praise
You are my fortress
You are beside me
I need to hear you say

“Do not fear what life has in store for you
It’ll be OK,” that’s what You said
“Do not fear, courage and strength
Are coming your way
And in you, I will be victorious
I will be victorious”

Made up Your mind to
Give up Your life through
Sacrifice You paid
Who is Your equal?
Death couldn’t keep You
Fear wouldn’t stand in Your way (heyyy)
Laid on Your cross and
Reaching the lost lamb
Now I can hear You say

“Do not fear what life has in store for you
It’ll be OK,” that’s what You said
“Do not fear, courage and strength
Are coming your way
And in you, I will be victorious
I will be victorious
I will be victorious
I will be victorious
I will be victorious”

P. Goldston / B. Goodall / P. Jackson

Oh The Love Of God (He Called My Name)

(ISAIAH 43:1–3)

He called my name, I am His
Through thick and thin
He's been my friend
Even in the deep water
I've never drowned
For He pulled me out to solid ground

I called His name, He is mine
Through high and low
He's been my lifeline
Even into the fire
He was around
He pulled me out to solid ground

Love that made me, love that saved me
Oh the love of God, oh the love of God
Love that shields me, love that heals me
Oh the love of God, oh the love of God

He called my name, I am His
Through thick and thin
He's been my friend
Even in the deep water
I've never drowned
For He pulled me out
To solid ground
Even into the fire
He was around
He pulled me out to solid ground

Love that chose me, love that knows me
Oh the love of God, oh the love of God
Love that sees me, love that frees me
Oh the love of God, oh the love of God

Halleluia, halleluia, halleluia, hallelu
Oh the love of God, oh the love of God
Halleluia, halleluia, halleluia, hallelu
Oh the love of God, oh the love of God

P. Goldston / E. Dahlberg / P. Jackson
