Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught 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, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

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.

Be Still

Be still for the presence of the Lord

The Holy One is here

Come bow before Him now

With reverence and fear

In Him no sin is found

We stand on holy ground

Be still for the presence of the Lord

The Holy One is here

Be still for the glory of the Lord

Is shining all around

He burns with holy fire

With splendor He is crowned

How awesome is the sight

Our radiant King of Light

Be still for the glory of the Lord

Is shining all around

Be still for the power of the Lord

Is moving in this place

He comes to cleanse and heal

To minister His grace

No work too hard for Him

In faith receive from Him

Be still for the power of the Lord

Is moving in this place

Be still

Be still

Majesty, worship his majesty;
Unto Jesus be all glory, honor, 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.

Jesus who died, now glorified, King of all kings

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.

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

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

May the Words of My Mouth - Tim Hughes

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

S Dauermann

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

How Great Thou Art

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.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

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 Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, with humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Your Love Is Amazing

Your love is amazing
Steady and unchanging
Your love is a mountain
Firm beneath my feet
Your love is a mystery
How you gently lift me
When I am surrounded
Your love carries me

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing

Your love is surprising
I can feel it rising
All the joy that's growing
Deep inside of me
Everytime I see you
All your goodness shines through
And I can feel this God song
Rising up in me

Brenton Brown & Brian Doerksen
