Lord,
Be With Me by David Haas (Psalm 6)
Be with me when I'm in trouble;
Be with me, be with me!
Remember, O Lord, your love and kindness;
Be with me, Lord, be with me!
Live under the protection of God Most High
And stay in the shadow of God All Powerful.
Then you will say to the Lord,
"You are my fortress, my place of safety;
You are my God, and I trust you."
No terrible disasters will strike you or your home.
God will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.
The Lord says, "If you love me and truly know who I am,
I will rescue you and keep you safe.
When you are in trouble, call out to me.
I will answer and be there to protect and honour you."
Make
a Joyful Noise by Christopher
de Silva (for Genesis II Choir; based on the Beatitudes Mt 5:3-12)
Come with me and I will show you all that you can be.
Pray with me and I will give you peace eternally,
Blessed are you, the poor in spirit;
Happy are you, who weep and mourn;
Blessed are you, who are humble;
Holy are you, who do God's will;
For great is the reward for you in heaven. (Chorus)
(Chorus)
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
For great is your reward in heaven and on earth.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
For everyday's a new beginning in God's eyes.
True happiness lies in the heart of all who answer to God's call.
Live
and learn the works of God with open heart and mind.
All the goodness, peace and love in Jesus you will find.
Blessed are you, who are merciful;
Happy are you, the pure in heart;
Blessed are you, who work for peace;
Holy are you, God's persecuted;
For great is the reward for you in heaven. (Chorus)
(Final)
True happiness lies in your heart,
True happiness lies in your heart,
True happiness lies in your heart,
True happiness lies in your heart,
When you do God's will
We Will
Sing Our Song to God
We will sing our song to God on the morning
of our sorrow.
We will sing our song to God from deep within our pain.
For we know that with the Lord there is love beyond all measure;
We will sing of this love that knows no end.
Who could take us from the love of God,
Separate us from Christ?
For in trial and distress,
Persecution or the sword,
We are more than victors in the song of Christ the Lord.
We will sing our song to God on the morning
of confusion.
We will sing our song to God from deep within our fear.
For we know that with the Lord there is love beyond all measure;
We will sing of this love that knows no end.
We will place our trust in God alone,
in the God who knows our name.
In the secret of our hearts
You have taught us all your ways,
When our song is weak, you love is there to guide our days.
We will sing our song to God on the morning
of our gladness.
We will sing our song to God from deep within our joy.
For we know that with the Lord there is love beyond all measure;
We will sing of this love that knows no end.
Who has known the very mind of God?
How mysterious God’s ways!
For in death we come to life;
We are cherished in God’s sight.
We are bless’d and broken children of the God of might.
We will sing our song to God on the morning
of our rising.
We will sing our song to God from deep within our hearts.
For we know that with the Lord there is love beyond all measure;
We will sing of this love that knows no end.
We will sing of this love that knows no
end.
The
Magnificat by David Haas
All that I am, sings of the God who brings
new life to birth in me.
My spirit soars on the wings of my Lord
My soul gives glory to the Lord, rejoicing in my saving God;
Who looks upon me in my state, and all the world will call me blest;
For God works marvels in my sight, and holy, holy is God's name.
God's mercy is from age to age, on those who follow in fear;
Whose arm is power and strength, and scatters all the proud of heart;
Who casts the mighty from their thrones, and raises up the lowly ones!
God fills the starving with good things, the rich are left with empty hands;
Protecting all the faithful ones, rememb'ring Israel with mercy,
The promise known to those before, and to their children forever!
We
Shall Prepare
We shall prepare our hearts for new love.
We shall prepare our eyes for the blinding light.
We shall prepare our faith to break the dark of night.
We shall prepare the way of the Lord!
A voice strong and clear cries out in the night:
"Make straight the way of our God."
The mountains bend low, the plains will rise up to the glory, the glory of God!
There shall be one who is to come,
mightier than you or I.
We shall be changed, baptized with the fire of the spirit, the spirit of God
Children of God, come change your hearts.
Come to the water of life.
Offer your hand, offer your heart to the people, the people of God!
