1 A cry in the night and a child is
born;

A child in a stable,

There isn’t any room:

A cry in the night,

And God has made our homelessness his home.

2 A trial in the dark the disciples run;

They bring him to Pilate;

He stands there all alone:

A trial in the dark

And God has made our homelessness his home.

3 A man on a cross, and the sun
beats down;

Up there on the gallows

He’s got a thorny crown:

A man on a cross

And God has made our homelessness his home.

4 A voice in the dawn when the
women came.

“You’re looking for Jesus?

Don’t seek him in the tomb.”

A voice in the dawn

And God has made our homelessness his home.

Our homelessness,

Our homelessness his home.

A new commandment

I give unto you,

That you love one another

As I have loved you,

That you love one another

As I have loved you.

By this shall all men know

That you are My disciples,

If you have love one for another.

By this shall all men know

That you are My disciples,

If you have love one for another.

All hail the Lamb

Enthroned on high,

His praise shall be

Our battle cry.

He reigns victorious,

For ever glorious,

His name is Jesus,

He is the Lord.

Dave Bilborough

All heaven declares

The glory of the risen Lord;

Who can compare

With the beauty of the Lord?

For ever He will be

The Lamb upon the throne;

I gladly bow the knee,

And worship Him alone.

I will proclaim

The glory of the risen Lord,

Who once was slain

To reconcile man to God.

For ever You will be

The Lamb upon the throne;

I gladly bow the knee,

And worship You alone.

1 All I once held dear, built my life upon,

All this world reveres, and wars to own;

All I once thought gain I have counted loss

Spent and worthless now compared to this.

Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,

There is no greater thing:

You’re my all, you’re the best,

You’re my joy, my righteousness;

And I love you, Lord.

2 Now my heart’s desire is to know you more,

To be found in you and known as yours:

To possess by faith what I could not earn

All surpassing gift of righteousness.

Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,…

3 Oh to know the power of your risen life,

And to know you in your sufferings:

To become like you in your death, my Lord,

So with you to live and never die!

Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,

1 And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England's mountains green?

And was the holy Lamb of God

On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was Jerusalem builded here

Among those dark satanic mills?

2 Bring me my bow of burning gold!

Bring me my arrows of desire!

Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!

Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,

Till we have built Jerusalem

In England's green and pleasant land.

William Blake 1757-1827

1 As the deer pants for the water,

So my soul longs after You.

You alone are my heart’s desire

And I long to worship You.

You alone are my strength, my shield,

To You alone may my spirit yield

You alone are my heart’s desire

And I long to worship You.

2 I want You more than gold or silver,

Only You can satisfy.

You alone are the real joy giver

And the apple of my eye.

You alone are…

3 You’re my Friend and You’re my Brother,

Even though You are a king.

I love You more than any other,

So much more than anything.

You alone are…

Be bold, be strong,

For the Lord your God is with you;

Be bold, be strong,

For the Lord your God is with you;

I am not afraid, (No!, No!, No!)

I am not dismayed, (Not me!)

For I’m walking in faith and victory:

Come on and walk in faith and victory,

For the Lord your God is with you.

1 Be still my soul: the Lord is on thy
side;

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

Leave to thy God to order and provide;

In every change He faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

2 Be still my soul: thy God doth
undertake

To guide the future as He has the past.

Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;

All now mysterious shall be bright at last.

Be still my soul: the waves and winds still know

His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

3 Be still my soul: the hour is
hastening on

When we shall be for ever with the Lord,

When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,

Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.

Be still my soul: when change and tears are past,

All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

1 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.

2 Be still,

For the glory of the Lord

Is shining all around;

He burns with holy fire,

With splendour 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.

3 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.

Blessed be the name of the Lord,

Blessed be the name of the Lord Most High!

Blessed be the name of the Lord,

Blessed be the name of the Lord Most High!

The name of the Lord is a strong tower,

The righteous run in to it,

And they are saved.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower,

The righteous run in to it,

And they are saved.

Broken for me,

Broken for you,

The body of Jesus

Broken for you.

1 He offered His body,

He poured out His soul,

Jesus was broken

That we might be whole:

Broken for me…

2 Come to My table

And with Me dine,

Eat of My bread

And drink of My wine:

Broken for me…

3 This is My body

Given for you,

Eat it remembering

I died for you:

Broken for me…

4 This is My blood

I shed for you,

For your forgiveness,

Making you new:

Broken for me…

1 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 let's 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.

2 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 …

3 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, his Spirit is near.

So light up the fire …

1 Come and see, come and see,

Come and see the King of love;

See the purple robe and crown of thorns He wears.

Soldiers mock, rulers sneer

As He lifts the cruel cross;

Lone and friendless now, He climbs towards the hill.

We worship at Your feet,

Where wrath and mercy meet,

And a guilty world is washed by love’s pure stream.

For us He was made sin -

Oh, help me take it in.

Deep wounds of love cry out ‘Father, forgive’

I worship, I worship the Lamb who was slain.

2 Come and weep, come and mourn

For your sin that pierced Him there;

So much deeper than the wounds of thorn and nail.

All our pride, all our greed,

All our fallenness and shame;

And the Lord has laid the punishment on Him.

We worship at Your feet,…

3 Man of heaven, born to earth

To restore us to Your heaven.

Here we bow in awe beneath your searching eyes.

From Your tears comes our joy,

From Your death our life shall spring;

By Your resurrection power we shall rise.

We worship at Your feet,…

Graham Kendrick

16

Come, let us worship our Redeemer,

Let us bow down before His throne;

Come let us kneel before our Maker:

Holy is His name.

1 Come into His presence with thanksgiving,

Make a joyful noise;

For the Lord is a great God:

King above all gods.

Come let us worship…

2 We are the people of His pasture,

The sheep of His hand:

For Christ the Lord is our Shepherd,

He will lead us home.

Come let us worship…

3 All praises be to God the Father,

Praise to Christ His son;

Praise be to God the Holy Spirit:

Bless the Three-in-One!

Come let us worship…

1 Come living God when least
expected,

When minds are dull and hearts are cold,

Through sharpening word and warm affection.

Revealing truths as yet untold,

2 Break from the tomb in which we
hide you

To speak again in startling ways;

Break through the words in which we bind you

To resurrect our lifeless praise.

3 Come now as once you came to
Moses

Within the bush alive with flame,

Or to Elijah on the mountain

By silence pressing home your claim.

4 So let our minds be sharp to read
you

In sight or sound or printed page,

And let us greet you in our neighbours,

In flaming youth or quiet age.

5 Then from our gloom your Son still
rising

Will thaw the frozen heart of pride

And flash upon us through the shadows

To spread his resurrection wide.

Alan Gaunt

Come on and celebrate!

His gift of love we will celebrate

The Son of God, who loved us

And gave us life.

We’ll shout Your praise, O King:

You give us joy nothing else can bring;

We’ll give to You our offering

In celebration praise.

Come on and celebrate, celebrate

Celebrate and sing,

Celebrate and sing to the King:

Come on and celebrate, celebrate

Celebrate and sing,

Celebrate and sing to the King!

Draw near to God

And He’ll draw near to you;

Draw near to God

And He’ll draw near to you.

Lift up holy hands to Him

And sing of what He’s done;

Open up your hearts to Him

And praise Him for His Son.

Draw near to God

And He’ll draw near to you;

Draw near to God

And He’ll draw near to you.

Father God, I wonder

How I managed to exist

Without the knowledge of

Your parenthood and Your loving care.

But now I am Your son,

I am adopted in Your family,

And I can never be alone, cause

Father God, You’re there beside me.

I will sing Your praises,

I will sing Your praises for evermore.

I will sing Your praises,

I will sing Your praises for evermore.

1 For the joys and for the sorrows

The best and worst of times,

For this moment, for tomorrow,

For all that lies behind;

Fears that crowd around me,

For the failure of my plans,

For the dreams of all I hope to be,

The truth of what I am:

For this I have Jesus,

I have Jesus.

2 For the tears that flow in secret,

In the broken times,

For the moments of elation,

Or the troubled mind;

For all the disappointments,

Or the sting of old regrets,

All my prayers and longings,

That seem unanswered yet:

For this I have Jesus, …

3 For the weakness of my body,

The burdens of each day,

For the nights of doubt and worry

When sleep has fled away;

Needing reassurance

And the will to start again,

A steely eyed endurance,

The strength to fight and win:

For this I have Jesus, …

Graham Kendrick

1 From heaven You came, helpless babe,

Entered our world, Your glory veiled,

Not to be served but to serve,

And give Your life that we might live.

This is our God, the Servant King,

He calls us now to follow Him,

To bring our lives as a daily offering

Of worship to the Servant King.

2 There in the garden of tears

My heavy load He chose to bear;

His heart with sorrow was torn,

‘Yet not my will but yours.’ He said.

This is our God, the Servant King…

3 Come see His hands and His feet,

The scars that speak of sacrifice,

Hands that flung starts into space

To cruel nails surrendered.

This is our God, the Servant King…

4. So let us learn how to serve

And in our lives enthrone Him,

Each other’s needs to prefer,

For it is Christ we’re serving.

This is our God, the Servant King…

1 Give thanks with a grateful heart,

Give thanks to the Holy One;

Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son.

Give thanks with a grateful heart,

Give thanks to the Holy One;

Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son.

2 And now let the weak say ‘I am strong’,

Let the poor say ‘I am rich’,

Because of what the Lord has done for us;

And now let the weak say ‘I am strong’,

Let the poor say ‘I am rich’,

Because of what the Lord has done for us.

Give thanks …

And now …

1 God, Creator, you have never

Left your people in despair,

But have always raised a prophet

Who has shown us how you care.

We are thankful for your blessings

Poured upon your people’s need;

May we show by word and action

Love in every thought and deed.

2 Jesus, Saviour, you have shown us,

By your ministry on earth,

That you love the poor and lonely,

And their lives have equal worth.

Shatter now our smug contentment,

Take away our selfish greed;

May we show by word and action

Love in every thought and deed

3 Holy Spirit, great enabler,

Power of the living Lord,

Send us out, a faithful army,

Strengthened by your grace and word.

Spirit, guide us, now and ever,

Serving you with common creed,

That we show by word and action

Love in every thought and deed.

God is good - we sing and shout it,

God is good - no more we doubt it,

God is good - we know it’s true!

And I feel like dancing;

For in His heart there is room for me,

And I run with arms opened wide.

God is good - we sing and shout it…

In all our future

Your love caressing,

Bridegroom and bride.

1 He was born a little child

When He came to earth;

Angels in the heavens above

Told us of His birth.

Mother Mary laid Him

In a cattle stall,

Little baby Jesus

Who was Lord of all.

2 Shepherds and their quiet sheep

Saw the angel bright;

Shepherds heard the angels

Singing in the night.

Mother Mary laid Him…

3 In the hills they left the lambs

And the sleeping sheep;

Down to Bethlehem they came,

Jesus Christ to seek.

Mother Mary laid Him…

4 ‘Shepherds, you have run from afar,

Breathless, breathless still;

Who is caring for your sheep

On the starlit hill?’

Mother Mary laid Him…

5 ‘Shall we not adore Him,

Lying in the hay?

Look, our Saviour Jesus,

Born for us today!’

Mother Mary laid Him…

31

1 He was pierced for our transgressions

And bruised for our iniquities;

And to bring us peace He was punished,

And by His stripes we are healed.

2 He was led like a lamb to the
slaughter,

Although He was innocent of crime;

And cut off from the land of the living

He paid for the guilt that was mine.

3 We like sheep have gone astray,

Turned each one to his own way

And the Lord has laid on Him

The iniquity of us all.

We like sheep …..

Here I am, wholly available -

As for me, I will serve the Lord.

1 The fields are white unto harvest

But oh, the labourers are so few;

So Lord I give myself to help the reaping,

To gather precious souls unto You.

Here I am…

2 The time is right in the nation

For works of power and authority;

God’s looking for a people who are willing

To be counted in His glorious victory.

Here I am…

3 As salt are we ready to savour,

In darkness are we ready to be light;

God’s seeking out a very special people

To manifest His truth and His might.

Here I am…

1 Holy child, how still You lie!

Safe the manger, soft the hay;

Faint upon the eastern sky

Breaks the dawn of Christmas Day.

2 Holy child, whose birthday brings

Shepherds from their field and fold,

Angel choirs and eastern kings,

Myrrh and frankincense and gold:

3 Holy child, what gift of grace

From the Father freely willed!

In Your infant form we trace

All God’s promises fulfilled.

4 Holy child, whose human years

Span like ours delight and pain;

One in human joys and tears,

One in all but sin and stain:

5 Holy child, so far from home,

All the lost to seek and save:

To what dreadful death You come,

To what dark and silent grave!

6 Holy child, before whose name

Powers of darkness faint and fall;

Conquered death and sin and shame -

Jesus Christ is Lord of all!

7 Holy child, how still You lie!

Safe the manger, soft the hay;

Clear upon the eastern sky

Breaks the dawn of Christmas Day.

1 I danced in the morning

When the world was begun

And I danced in the moon

And the stars and the sun;

And I came down from heaven

And I danced on the earth;

At Bethlehem I had my birth.

Dance then, wherever you may be,

I am the Lord of the Dance, said he;

And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,

And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.

2 I danced for the scribe

And the pharisee,

But they would not dance

And they wouldn't follow me.

I danced for the fishermen,

For James and John -

They came with me

And the dance went on.

Dance then, wherever you may be…

3 I danced on the Sabbath

And I cured the lame;

The holy people

Said it was a shame.

They whipped and they stripped

And they hung me on high,

And they left me there

On a cross to die.

Dance then, wherever you may be…

4 I danced on a Friday

When the sky turned black;

It's hard to dance

With the devil on your back.

They buried my body

And they thought I'd gone;

But I am the dance

And I still go on:

Dance then, wherever you may be…

5 They cut me down

And I leapt up high;

I am the life

That'll never, never die,

I'll live in you

If you'll live in me;

I am the Lord

Of the Dance, said he:

Dance then, wherever you may be…

You meet my deepest need,

And I lift my hands up to Your throne,

You’ve set this captive free,

I will lift my voice to praise Your name

For all eternity.

And I worship You,…

1 I, the Lord of sea and sky,

I have heard my people cry.

All who dwell in dark and sin

My hand will save.

I who made the stars of night,

I will make their darkness bright.

Who will bear my light to them?

Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord

Is it I Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night.

I will go Lord,

If You lead me

I will hold your people in my heart.

2 I, the Lord of snow and rain,

I have borne my people’s pain.

I have wept for love of them.

They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone,

Give them hearts for love alone.

I will speak my word to them.

Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord…

3 I, the Lord of wind and flame,

I will send the poor and lame.

I will set a feast for them.

My hand will save.

Finest bread I will provide

Till their hearts be satisfied.

I will give my life to them.

Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord…

1 I want to walk with Jesus Christ,

All the days I live of this life on earth;

To give to Him complete control

Of body and of soul.

Follow Him, follow Him,

Yield your life to Him -

He has conquered death,

He is King of kings;

Accept the joy which He gives to those

Who yield their lives to Him.

2 I want to learn to speak to Him,

To pray to Him, confess my sin,

To open my life and let Him in,

For joy will then be mine.

Follow Him, follow Him…

3 I want to learn to speak of Him -

My life must show that He lives in me;

My deeds, my thoughts, my words must speak

All of His love for me.

Follow Him, follow Him…

4 I want to learn to read His word,

For this is how I know the way

To live my life as pleases Him,

In holiness and joy.

Follow Him, follow Him…

5 O Holy Spirit of the Lord,

Enter now into this heart of mine;

Take full control of my selfish will

And make me wholly Thine!

Follow Him, follow Him….

I’ll go in the strength of the Lord,

In paths He has marked for my feet;

I’ll follow the light of His word,

Nor shrink from the dangers I meet.

His presence my steps shall attend,

His fulness my wants shall supply;

On Him, ’til my journey shall end,

My unwavering faith will rely.

I’ll go,(I’ll go)I’ll go in the strength,

I’ll go in the strength of the Lord.

I’ll go,(I’ll go)I’ll go in the strength,

I’ll go in the strength of the Lord.

I’ll go in the strength of the Lord,

To work He appoints me to do;

In joy which His smile doth afford

My soul shall its vigour renew.

His wisdom shall guard me from harm,

His power my sufficiency prove;

I’ll trust His omnipotent arm

And prove His unchangeable love.

I’ll go,(I’ll go)I’ll go in……

I’ll go in the strength of the Lord,

To conflicts which faith will require;

His grace as my shield and reward,

My courage and zeal shall inspire.

Since He gives the word of command

To meet and encounter the foe,

With His sword of truth in my hand

To suffer and triumph I’ll go.

I’ll go,(I’ll go)I’ll go in……

I’ll go in the strength of the Lord.

43

I’m special because God has loved me,

For He gave the best thing

That He had to save me:

His own Son Jesus,

Crucified to take the blame,

For all the bad things I have done.

Thank you Jesus, thank You Lord,

For loving me so much;

I know I don’t deserve anything,

Help me feel Your love right now,

To know deep in my heart

That I’m Your special friend.

Singing, I love You Lord,

I love You.

1 Jesus Christ, the light of heaven,

To the earth in love came down;

Born to be our Saviour lowly,

He gave up his kingly crown.

In the Christ light may we see,

God’s love for his family.

2 In our hands we take an orange,

Symbol of the world God made;

Bound around by blood red ribbon,

Here his sacrifice displayed.

In the Christ light may we see,

God’s love for his family.

3 Warmth of summer, mists of
autumn,

Chill of winter, joy of spring;

Through the year our Father feeds us,

Now to him our gifts we bring.

In the Christ light may we see,

God’s love for his family.

4 Candles shining in the darkness,

Fill the world with Jesus’ light.

May our lives reflect his brilliance,

And our flame burn ever bright.

In the Christ light may we see,

God’s love for his family.

It’s a song of joy no-one can take away.

Jesus shall take the highest honour,

Jesus shall take the highest praise,

Let all the earth join heaven in exalting

The name which is above all other names.

Let’s bow the knee in humble adoration,

For at His name every knee must bow;

Let every tongue confess

He is Christ, God’s only Son.

Sovereign Lord we give You glory now,

For all honour and blessing and power

Belongs to You, belongs to You.

All honour and blessing and power

Belongs to You, belongs to You,

Jesus, You are changing me,

By Your Spirit You’re making me like You;

Help me to be willing to let You have Your way;

Jesus, You are changing me

As I let You reign supreme within my heart.

With the glorious burden of the cross;

heavenly armour,

Let us use all love’s weapons in our cause;

We will fight for the right, till in the future

We can say, ‘We are more than conquerors!’

We will fight . . .

morning,

For his wonderful blessings and his love:

For our God in the goodness of his mercy

Gave us life, life in Jesus Christ our Lord;

For our God . . .

1 Long ago in Bethlehem

Christ the baby was born today.

He was laid in a manger bed.

He was cradled in hay.

Jesus Christ born today.

He’s the King we’ve all been waiting for.

Angels sing of his birth today,

He is the King of the World.

2 Shepherds came from far and near,

Guided by a light so bright.

Left their flocks in the field alone

Journeyed into the night.

Angels came from the sky,

Calmed the men, sent them to Bethlehem.

There they saw the baby boy.

He is the King of the World.

3 Then three wise men came to see

They were led by the orient star.

Brought their precious gifts with them.

Presents brought from afar.

Frankincense, gold and myrrh,

Kingly gifts all for the baby boy.

They foretold of his life to come,

He is the King of the World.

1 O Lord, all the world belongs to
you,

And you are always making all things new.

What is wrong you forgive,

And the new life you give

Is what’s turning the world upside down.

2 The world’s only loving to its
friends,

But you have brought us love that never ends;

Loving enemies too.

And this loving with you

Is what’s turning the world upside down.

3 The world lives divided and apart.

You draw all men together and we start

In your body to see

That in fellowship we

Can be turning the world upside down.

4 The world wants the wealth to live
in state,

But you show us a new way to be great;

A servant you came,

And, if we do the same,

We’ll be turning the world upside down.

5 O Lord, all the world belongs to
you,

And you are always making all things new.

Send your Spirit on all

In your Church whom you call

To be turning the world upside down.

1 O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works Thy hand hath made,

I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,

Thy pow'r 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!

2 When through the woods and forest
glades I wander

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees:

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,

And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze:

Then sings my soul,…

3 And when I think: that 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,…

4 Oh, when I see ungrateful man
defiling

This bounteous earth, God's gifts so good and great;

In foolish pride, God's holy name reviling

And yet, in grace, His wrath and judgment wait:

Then sings my soul,…

5 When burdens press, and seem
beyond endurance,

Bowed down with grief, to Him I lift my face;

And then in love He brings me sweet assurance:

‘My child! For thee sufficient is My grace.’

Then sings my soul,…

6 When Christ shall come with shout
of acclamation

And take me home - what joy shall fill my heart!

Then shall I bow in humble adoration,

And there proclaim, my God how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul,…

The tools of war increase,

Their bread is stolen.

MEN Have mercy, Lord,……

3 O Lord, dark powers are poised to
flood

Our streets with hate and fear.

We must awaken!

O Lord, let love reclaim the lives

That sin would sweep away,

And let Your kingdom come!

MEN Have mercy, Lord,……

Triumphant in this land,

Evil confounding;

Through the fire, Your suffering church display

The glories of her Christ,

Praises resounding.

true faith confessing,

The people of God from His dwelling take leave.

The supper is ended: O now be extended

The fruits of His service in all who believe.

The seed of His teaching, our hungry souls reaching,

Shall blossom in action for God and for man.

His grace shall incite us, His love shall unite us

To work for His kingdom and further His plan.

2 With praise and thanksgiving to God ever living,

The task of our everyday life we will face,

Our faith ever sharing, in love ever caring,

Embracing as brothers all men of each race.

One feast that has fed us, one light that has led us,

Unite us as one in His life that we share.

Then may all the living, with praise and thanksgiving,

Give honour to Christ and His name that we bear.

With which the orb we spear,

Reminds us how God cares for us,

Thro' the seasons of the year.

They have special worth;

Reminding of the Spirit's fruits

As well as fruits of earth.

It shines to show how our Father God,

Loves even you and me.

1 The trumpets sound, the angels
sing,

The feast is ready to begin;

The gates of heaven are open wide,

And Jesus welcomes you inside.

The trumpets sound ………….

Sing with thankfulness songs of pure delight,

Come and revel in heaven’s love and light;

Take your place at the table of the King,

The feast is ready to begin,

2 Tables are laden with good things,

O taste the peace and joy he brings;

He’ll fill you up with love divine,

He’ll turn your water into wine.

Offers the poor His paradise;

Now hear all heaven and earth applaud

The amazing goodness of the Lord.

Sing with thankfulness …

To peace on earth.

1 We’ll walk the land with hearts on
fire;

And every step will be a prayer.

Hope is rising, new day dawning;

Sound of singing fills the air.

2 Two thousand years, and still the
flame

Is burning bright across the land.

Hearts are waiting, longing, aching,

for awakening once again.

Let the flame burn brighter

In the heart of the darkness,

Turning night to glorious day.

Let the song grow louder,

As our love grows stronger;

Let it shine! let it shine.!

3 We’ll walk for truth, speak out for
love;

In Jesus’ name we shall be strong,

To lift the fallen, to save the children

To fill the nation with Your song.

Let the flame burn brighter ……

1 When He comes we’ll see just a
child;

No warrior Lord but a baby so mild.

The Lord says: ‘Bethlehem, though you are but small,

In you shall be born the King.’

When He comes, when He comes.

2 When He comes His reign shall
bring peace;

When He comes all fighting shall cease.

Men shall hammer their spears into pruning hooks

And prepare for battle no more.

When He comes, when He comes.

And on that day there will be laughter;

On that day joy ever after,

No more tears: for the Lord will wipe them all away.

And on that day, men shall be brothers,

Reconciled to God and each other;

The world shall see the King in His glory,

When He comes.

3 When He comes He’ll be of David’s
line,

The mighty God and ruler divine.

They’ll call Him Wonderful and Counsellor,

And His kingdom shall never cease.

When He comes, when He comes.

And on that day ……

When I gaze into Your loveliness,

When all things that surround

Become shadows in the light of You.

When I’ve found the joy of reaching

When my will becomes enthroned in Your love,

When all things that surround

Become shadows in the light of You.

The reason I live is to worship You;

If I but call your name?

Will you go where you don't know

And never be the same?

Will you let my love be shown,

Will you let my name be known,

Will you let my life be grown

In you and you in me?

2 Will you leave yourself behind

If I but call your name?

And never be the same?

Will you risk the hostile stare

Should your life attract or scare?

Will you let me answer prayer

In you and you in me?

If I but call your name?

Will you set the prisoners free

And never be the same?

Will you kiss the leper clean,

And do such as this unseen,

And admit to what I mean

In you and you in me?

4 Will you love the 'you' you hide

If I but call your name?

Will you quell the fear inside

And never be the same?

Will you use the faith you've found

To reshape the world around,

Through my sight and touch and sound

In you and you in me?

5 Lord, your summons echoes true

When you but call my name.

Let me turn and follow you

And never be the same.

In your company I'll go

Where your love and footsteps show.

Thus I'll move and live and grow

In you and you in me.

You laid aside your Majesty,

Gave up everything for me,

Suffered at the hands

Of those You had created;

You took all my guilt and shame,

When You died and rose again;

Now today You reign

In heaven and earth exalted.

I really want to worship You, my
Lord,

You have won my heart and I am Yours

For ever and ever:

I will love You.

You are the only one who died for me,

Gave Your life to set me free,

So I lift my voice to You in adoration.

1 Autumn days when the grass is
jewelled

And the silk inside a chestnut shell,

Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled,

All these things I love so well.

So I mustn’t forget.

No, I mustn’t forget,

To say a great big thank-you,

I mustn’t forget.

2 Clouds that look like familiar faces,

And a winter’s moon with frosted rings,

Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces,

And the song the milkman sings.

So I mustn’t forget…

3 Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-
scattered,

And a swallow curving in the sky.

Shoes so comfy though they’re worn-out and they’re battered,

And the taste of apple pie.

So I mustn’t forget…

4 Scent of gardens when the rain’s
been falling,

And a minnow darting down a stream,

Picked-up engine that’s been stuttering and stalling,

And a win for my home team

So I mustn’t forget…

Of Jonah and the whale,

Way down in the middle of the ocean,

Well, how did he get there?

Whatever did he wear?

Way down in the middle of the ocean.

To disobey’s a very foolish notion.

But God forgave his sin,

Salvation entered in,

Way down in the middle of the

Daniel was a man of prayer,

Daily he prayed three times.

Till one day they had him cast

In a den of lions.

In the den, in the den,

Fear could not alarm him.

So they could not harm him.

are filled with song,

Walking in the King’s highway;

And the world grows brighter, as we pass along,

Walking in the King’s highway.

Walking, walking in the King’s highway,

Walking in the King’s highway.

To the place of many mansions I shall come at last,

Walking in the King’s highway.

Walking in the King’s highway;

Visions of the glory break upon my sight

Walking in the King’s highway.

Walking in the King’s highway;

Walking in the King’s highway.

Tells of His love in the book He has given.

Wonderful things in the Bible I see;

This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me.

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves even me.

2 Though I forget Him and wander
away;

Still He doth love me wherever I stray.

Back to His dear loving arms do I flee,

When I remember that Jesus loves me.

When in His beauty I see the great King,

This shall my song in eternity be,

O what a wonder that Jesus loves me.

With a pure, clear light,

Like a little candle

Burning in the night.

In this world is darkness;

So let us shine,

You in your small corner,

And I in mine.

First of all for Him;

Well He sees and knows it,

If our light grows dim.

He looks down from heaven

To see us shine,

You in your small corner,

And I in mine.

3 Jesus bids us shine,

Then, for all around;

Many kinds of darkness

In the world are found

Sin, and want and sorrow;

So we must shine,

You in your small corner,

And I in mine.

His Spirit lives deep in my heart

I’m in His plan right from the start.

So I’ll trust…

1 The joy of the Lord is my strength,

The joy of the Lord is my strength,

Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength.

2 If you want joy, you must sing for it,

If you want joy, you must sing for it,

Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength.

3 If you want joy, you must shout for it,

If you want joy, you must shout for it,

Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength.

4 If you want joy, you must jump for it,

If you want joy, you must jump for it,

Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength.

1 The wise man built his house upon
the rock.

The wise man built his house upon the rock.

The wise man built his house upon the rock

And the rain came tumbling down.

And the rain came down and the floods came up,

The rain came down and the floods came up,

And the house on the rock stood firm.

2 The foolish man built his house upon
the sand.

The foolish man built his house upon the sand.

The foolish man built his house upon the sand

And the rain came tumbling down.

And the rain came down and the floods came up,

The rain came down and the floods came up,

And the house on the sand fell flat.

1 This little light of mine, I’m gonna
let it shine,

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

2 Hide it under a bush? Oh no!, I’m
gonna let it shine (x3)

Let it shine, all the time, let it shine

3 Don’t you (blow) my little light out,
I’m gonna let it shine (x3)

Let it shine, all the time, let it shine

4 Let it shine till Jesus comes, I’m
gonna let it shine (x3)

Let it shine, all the time, let it shine

Who’s the king of the jungle?

Who’s the king of the sea?

Who’s the king of the universe

And who’s the king of me?

I’ll tell you J-E-S-U-S is

He’s the king of me,

He’s the king of the universe,

The jungle and the sea.

Wide, wide as the ocean, high as the heaven above;

Deep, deep as the deepest sea is my Saviour’s love.

I, though so unworthy, still am a child of His care;

For His Word teaches me that His love reaches me everywhere.

Zaccheus was a very little man,

And a very little man was he.

He climbed up into a sycamore tree,

For the Saviour he wanted to see.

And when the Saviour passed that way,

He looked into the tree and said,

‘Now, Zaccheus, you come down,

For I’m coming to your house to tea.’
