SANCTUARY LYRICS
Blessed Is The Man
(Psalm 112)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz

Now and for always it is written
Penned by the loving hand of G-d
My people perish without vision, they go astray
And when a man makes it his mission
To go where others have not trod
Into the valley of decision to show the way
Of Him they’ll say
Chorus:
They’ll say ,“Hallelujah! Blessed is the man with a vision
Hallelujah! One who delights in G-d’s Word
Hallelujah! He is a lover of Jesus
Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the L-rd”
And in the midst of tribulation
He will stand steadfast and secure
Gracious is he who shows compassion in all his ways
And when his hands are filled with riches
They’re still extended to the poor
This one will bless his generation all of his days
And they will say, they’ll say
(Chorus)
And in a world turned cold & heartless
And at a time we’ve lost our way
He is a beacon in the darkness
And all who hear of Him will say, they’ll say
(Chorus)
Blessed is the man who fears the L-rd!

Verse: Standing at my station
Camped upon the battleground
Though I can’t see my enemy
I know that he is all around
So many voices speakin’
Tellin’ me I’m wrong, could they be right?
I have the choice to weaken
Or to stand up strong and fight
But the only defense that I can raise
Is liftin’ up an anthem of Your praise
Chorus: O L-rd, Your loving kindness is everlasting
That’s why I sing
O L-rd Your loving kindness endures forever
And You are able to deliver me
Deliver me!
Verse: L-rd in my confusion all my strength is givin’ in
My adversary’s everywhere
It seems that there’s no way to win
Then, I hear Your voice all through me
Tellin’ me this battles Yours, not mine
I have no choice left to me, but to yield to Your design
As You take it from my hands what can I do
But lift them up in sacrifice to You?
(Chorus)
Bridge: And now the hope of Your salvation
Is burnin’ in me like a flame
I come before You now rejoicing
And with this song of deliverance proclaim
Chorus: O L-rd, Your loving kindness is everlasting
And so I’ll sing
My L-rd Your loving kindness endures forever
And You are able to deliver me
Forever able to deliver me!
Sanctuary
(Psalm 73)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz

Lately I wonder as time hurries on
What have I done with the days come and gone?
And I remember how once I was drawn
Into Your sanctuary
When did I wander so far away?
How did I get here? Why did I stray?
And can I ever find my way
Back to Your sanctuary?
Nothing have I on earth but You
No one but You in heaven
So why do I continue to do everything else
But come to You?
All of my folly I fin’lly see
I’ve nowhere to hide, I’ve no place to flee
If I ran to you, would you run to me
Out from Your sanctuary?
Nothing have I on earth but You
No one but You in heaven
So why would I continue to do anything else
But come to You?
I will remember what You did for me
Climbing that hill to die on that tree
There I will go and bend my knee
There I’ll find sanctuary
Oh I’ll give You thanks
For Your sanctuary
Unless It Is The Lord
(Psalm 127)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz
© 1999 Singin’ in the Reign Music/ASCAP
Chorus:
Unless it is the L-rd who builds the house
They labor in vain who build it
Unless it is the L-rd who guards the city
The watchmen watch in vain
Vain are we to rise up early and to stay up late
To toil and labor greatly for our daily bread
Vain are we to worry that our souls He will not keep
He gives His loved ones sleep
For He Himself has said
(Chorus)
Foolishly we try to build our houses on the sand
They cannot withstand the storms we must endure
Wise are we when we’ve been found to build on solid ground
Though rain & wind may pound
We’ll still stand secure
(Instrumental)
Vain am I and foolish and embarrassed to admit
I’ve often almost quit, yet on and on I go
And though I’m slow of step
And though my heart is filled with fears
Still after all these years
This one thing I know
(Chorus)
The watchmen watch in vain
Unless it is the L-rd, Unless it is the L-rd
Blessings on the Mountain
(The Beatitudes)
(Matthew 5:1-16)

And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain. And when He was seated, His disciples came to Him. And He opened His mouth and He taught them. And He said:
Blessed are the poor in spirit
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are those who mourn, for comfort shall be theirs
Blessed are the gentle, they shall inherit the earth
Blessed, blessed are they, blessed are they
Blessed are those who hunger
Blessed are those who thirst
Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, surely shall be filled
Blessed are the merciful, they shall obtain mercy
Blessed, blessed are they
Truly I say, you are the salt of the earth
Oh, so don’t you lose your savor
Truly I say you are the light of the world
So let your light shine before men
That they may glorify your Father
And the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them not as their scribes did, but as one having authority!
Blessed are the pure in heart, they shall see G-d
And blessed are the peacemakers
They shall be called the sons of G-d
And you who suffer for My name’s sake
Yours is the kingdom of Heaven
Blessed, blessed are you, blessed are you
Blessed are you
Sun & Shield
(Psalm 84)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz

O, L-rd of hosts, hear our prayer
Our souls long & faint for Your courts
Oh to appear before You in Zion
From strength to strength we’re passin’ through
And blessed is the one whose strength is You
Chorus:
You, L-rd G-d , are a sun & shield
You give grace and glory
No good thing will You withhold
From those who walk uprightly
No good thing will you withhold
From those who walk with You
O L-rd You’ve shown such tender care
And so our hearts cry out for you more
Incline your ear O, G-d of Jacob
Your every word has proven true
And blessed is the one whose truth is You
(Chorus)
Behold us in this place O, G-d
And gaze upon the face of Your anointed
Who dwell in Your house
Glad are all who dwell in Your house
They shall be ever praising You
We’re praising You!
(Chorus)

Breathe On Me
Words & Music by Marty Goetz & Wendell Burton

The flame in my heart used to blaze with delight
But like sparks that rise into the skies, it vanished in the night
Now I long to once again
Burn for You as I did then
But to even try there’s something I must ask of You
I need You to...
Breathe on me, breathe on me
It’s been so long since the fire within
Burned bright and strong
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Like a gentle breeze, L-rd I ask You please
To tenderly breathe on me
Blow, Spirit, blow
Come & fill this weary soul
In Your mercy send a holy wind and ‘til You do
I’ll wait for You to
Breathe on me, breathe on me
It’s been so long since the fire within
Burned bright and strong
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Like a gentle breeze, L-rd I ask You please
Won’t You tenderly, breathe on me
It isn’t that I’ve lost my desire
It’s just that what once was a fire has dwindled again
And it needs to be kindled again, so
Breathe on me, breathe on me
It’s been so long since the fire within
Burned bright and strong
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Deep inside I know hiding embers glow
They could grow into a flame for all to see
If You’d only, if You’d only, if You’d only
Breathe on Me

And now to Him who is able to do
To do exceedingly, abundantly above
All we can ask, all we can think
All of the glory be to You…
Who are able to do
To do exceedingly, abundantly above
All we can hope, all we can dream
All of the glory be to You
And now to You who are able to do
To do exceedingly abundantly above
All we can ask, all we can think
All we can hope or dream
All glory be to You, all of the glory be to You
