Majesty

Majesty, worship his majesty;
Unto Jesus be all glory, honor, and praise.
Majesty, kingdom authority,
Flow from his throne unto his own, his anthem raise.
So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus.
Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus, the King.
Majesty, worship his majesty,
Jesus who died, now glorified, King of all kings

Loving Things and Using People

Using things and loving people

That's the way it's got to be

Using things and loving people

Look around and you can see

That loving things and using people

Only leads to misery

Using things and loving people

That's the way it's got to be

Being loved is in the giving

All we have is what we share

Loving life is for the living

You have to have a heart to care

And loving things and using people

Only leads to misery

Using things and loving people

That's the way it's got to be

So put your hand inside my hand

I don't know where the road will lead

We may not find the things we want

But we will find the things we need

And all we need is love

Using things and loving people

Brings you happiness I've found

Using things and loving people

Not the other way around

'Cause loving things and using people

Only leads to misery

Using things and loving people

That's the way it's got to be

For you and me

For you and me

Thank God

Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God

Joyful Joyful

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
Op’ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Wellspring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother,
All who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.

Mortals, join the happy chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o’er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward
In the triumph song of life.

Unto to Jesus be all glory, honour, and praise.

Flow from His throne, unto His own, His anthem raise.

So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus,
Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus the King.

Majesty, worship His majesty,

Jesus, who died, now glorified, King of all kings

When I Needed A Neighbour

When I needed a neighbour
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a neighbour
Were you there?

And the creed and the colour
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?

I was hungry and thirsty
Were you there, were you there?
I was hungry and thirsty
Were you there?

And the creed and the colour
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?

I was cold, I was naked
Were you there, were you there?
I was cold, I was naked
Were you there?

And the creed and the colour
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?

When I needed a shelter
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a shelter
Were you there?

And the creed and the colour
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?

When I needed a healer
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a healer
Were you there?

And the creed and the colour
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?

Wherever you travel
I’ll be there, I’ll be there.
Wherever you travel
I’ll be there.

And the creed and the colour
And the name won’t matter
I’ll be there.

Think of a World

Think of a world without any flowers,

Think of a wood without any trees,

Think of a sky without any sunshine,

Think of the air without any breeze:

We thank you, Lord, for flowers and trees and sunshine;

We thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

Think of a world without any animals,

Think of a field without any herd,

Think of a stream without any fishes,

Think of a dawn without any bird:

We thank you, Lord, for all your living creatures;

We thank you, Lord, and praise you holy name.

Think of a world without any paintings,

Think of a room where all the walls are bare,

Think of a rainbow without any colours,

Think of the earth with darkness everywhere:

We thank you, Lord, for paintings and for colours;

We thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

Think of a world without any poetry,

Think of a book without any words,

Think of a song without any music,

Think of a hymn without any verse:

We thank you, Lord, for poetry and music;

We thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

Think of a world without any science,

Think of a journey with nothing to explore,

Think of a quest without any mystery,

Nothing to seek and nothing left in store:

We thank you, Lord, for miracles of science,

We thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

Think of a world without any people,

Think of a street with no-one living there,

Think of a town without any houses,

No-one to love and nobody to care:

We thank you, Lord, for families and friendships,

We thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

Think of a world without any worship,

Think of a God without his only son,

Think of a cross without a resurrection,

Only a grave and not a victory won:

We thank you, Lord, for showing us our saviour,

We thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

Thanks to our Lord for being here among us,

Thanks be to him for sharing all we do,

Thanks for our church and all the love we find here,

Thanks for this place and all its promise true:

We thank you, Lord, for life in all its richness;

We thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

Doreen Newport

The Last Psalm

Praise the Lord.

Praise God in his sanctuary;

Praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;

Praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet;

Praise him with the harp and lyre.

Praise him with the tambourine and dancing;

Praise him with the strings and the flute.

Praise him with the clash of cymbals;

Praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

Reinhold Niebuhr

Praise the Lord!

To God be the glory, great things he has done!

So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,

Who yielded his life in atonement for sin,

And opened the life-gate that all may go in:

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let the earth hear his voice!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son:

And give him the glory - great things he has done!

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

To every believer the promise of God!

And every offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives:

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let the earth hear his voice!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son:

And give him the glory - great things he has done!

Great things he has taught us, great things he has done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see:

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let the earth hear his voice!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son:

And give him the glory - great things he has done!

May the Words of My Mouth

May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart
Bless Your name, bless Your name, Jesus
And the deeds of the day and the truth in my ways
Speak of You, speak of You, Jesus

For this is what I'm glad to do
It's time to live a life of love that pleases You
And I will give my all to You
Surrender everything I have and follow You
I'll follow You

Lord, will You be my vision, Lord, will You be my guide
Be my hope, be my light and the way
And I'll look not for riches, nor praises on earth
Only You'll be the first of my heart

For this is what I'm glad to do
It's time to live a life of love that pleases You
And I will give my all to You
Surrender everything I have and follow You
I'll follow You

The Rose Beyond the Wall

The Rose Beyond the Wall by A. L. Frink

Seek Ye First

Seek ye first the kingdom of God

And his righteousness,

And all these things shall be added unto you,

Hallelu, hallelujah!

Man shall not live by bread alone,

But by every word

That proceeds from the mouth of God

Hallelu, hallelujah!

Ask and it shall be given unto you,

Seek and ye shall find

Knock and it shall be opened unto you,

Hallelu, hallelujah!

Seek ye first the kingdom of God

And his righteousness,

And all these things shall be added unto you,

Hallelu, hallelujah!

Building a People of Power

For I'm building a people of power

And I'm making a people of praise,

That will move through this land by My Spirt,

And will glorify My precious Name.

Build your Church, Lord

Make us strong, Lord

Join our hearts, Lord, through Your Son.

Make us one, Lord, in Your Body.

In the Kingdom of Your Son

D. Richards

You Shall Go Out With Joy

You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace,

And the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you,

There'll be shouts of joy and the trees of the field

Shall clap, shall clap their hand

And the trees of the field shall clap their hands,

And the trees of the field shall clap their hands

And you'll go out with joy

Colours of Day

Colours of day dawn into the mind

The sun has come up, the night is behind.

Go down in the city, into the street,

And lets give the message to the people we meet

So light up the fire and let the flame burn

Open the door, let Jesus return

Take seeds of his spirit, let the fruit grow,

Tell the people of Jesus, let his love show.

Go through the park, on into the town,

The sun still shines on, it never goes down.

The light of the world is risen again,

The people of darkness are needing our friend.

So light up the fire and let the flame burn

Open the door, let Jesus return

Take seeds of his spirit, let the fruit grow,

Tell the people of Jesus, let his love show.

Open your eyes, look into the sky,

The darkness has come, the sun came to die.

The evening draws on, the sun disappears,

But Jesus is living and his Spirit is near.

Words by Sue McClellan, John Paculabo and Keith Rycroft

Spanish Lords Prayer

Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos

Santificado sea tu nombre

Vénganos tu reino

Hágase tu voluntad, así en la tierra como en el cielo

El pan nuestro de cada día, dánoslo hoy

Y perdónanos nuestros ofensas así como nosotros perdónamos a los que nos ofenden

Y no nos dejes caer en tentación

Mas líbranos del mal

Porque tuyo es el reino, el poder y la gloria,

Por los siglos de los siglos

Amen

Galatians 5:19-25

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealously, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also behave in accordance with the Spirit.
