Song Words

Your word is good, it's ever faithful,
Worth more than gold, the heart's delight;
Your word gives life to all who hear and obey,
Your word endures forever.

Your word is true, it never changes,
It formed the earth; sustains it still.
Your word defends; providing refuge and strength,
Your word endures forever.

Your word is a lamp unto my feet,
Your word is a light unto my path,
For your word is my hope, it's my joy and my song,
Your word endures forever.

Your word transforms, it lifts the humble,
Rebukes the proud, protects the poor;
Your word discerns the mind and spirit of all,
Your word endures forever.

Your word is a lamp unto my feet,

Your word is more than just letters on pages,
It's life and it's love and it's freedom for us;
Your word is more than just wisdom of ages,
Its treasures are endless, it's always enough;
Your word is more than just stories of old,
It's the truth and the way and the story of love;
Your word is more than just breath into dust,
It's your Son, as a man, come to dwell here with us.

Your word is a lamp unto my feet

Though the nations rage
Kingdoms rise and fall
There is still one king
Reigning over all
So I will not fear
For this truth remains:
That my God is the Ancient of Days

None above him, none before him
All of time in His hands
For His throne it shall remain and ever stand
All the power all the glory
I will trust in His name
For my God is the Ancient of Days

Though the dread of night
Overwhelms my soul
He is here with me
I am not alone
O his love is sure
And He knows my name
For my God is the Ancient of Days

None above him...

Though I may not see
What the future brings
I will watch and wait
For the Saviour king
Then my joy complete
Standing face to face
In the presence of the Ancient of Days

None above him...

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy Word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.

Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of pow'r that can never fail -
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us -
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity.
And by grace we'll stand on Your promises,
And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us.
Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine:
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God;
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Saviour all the day long.

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Saviour all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blessed;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Lord God,
we are not worthy to come before you,
or to live in your presence,
for we are to blame for our failure to do right:
we have not always spoken the truth
from our heart,
nor has our tongue been free from slander;
we have wronged our friends
and criticized our neighbours;
we have condoned evil,
and not honoured those who fear you;
we have not kept our promises
when it hurt us to do so;
we have not used our wealth to your glory:    
O Lord, forgive us and help us;
for your name's sake. Amen.

Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven;
To His feet thy tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like thee His praise should sing?
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the everlasting King!

Praise Him for His grace and favour
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same forever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Glorious in His faithfulness.

Father-like, He tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Widely as His mercy flows.

Angels in the height, adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him,
Dwellers all in time and space.
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise with us the God of grace!

We won't fear the battle, we won't fear the night,
We will walk the valley with you by our side.
You will go before us, you will lead the way,
We have found a refuge, only you can save.

Sing with joy now: our God is for us,
The Father's love is a strong and mighty fortress;
Raise your voice now, no love is greater,
Who can stand against us if our God is for us?

Even when I stumble, even when I fall,
Even when I turn back, still Your love is sure;
You will not abandon, you will not forsake,
You will cheer me onward with never ending grace.

Sing with joy now...

Neither height nor depth can separate us,
Hell and death will not defeat us,
He who gave His Son to free us
Holds me in His love.

Sing with joy now...

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea;
A great high priest whose name is love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on his hands,
My name is hidden in his heart;
I know that while in heaven he stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upwards I look and see him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Saviour died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God the just is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me.

Behold him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness;
The great unchangeable I am,
The King of glory and of grace.
One with himself I cannot die,
My soul is purchased with his blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Saviour and my God.

WE BELIEVE in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy universal and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail,
He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold
Through life's fearful path;
For my love is often cold
He must hold me fast.

He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Saviour loves me so,
He will hold me fast.

Those He saves are His delight,
Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in His holy sight,
He will hold me fast.
He'll not let my soul be lost,
His promises shall last.
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast.

For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied,
He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast;
Till our faith is turned to sight,
When he comes at last.

The grace of God has reached for me,
And pulled me from the raging sea,
And I am safe on this solid ground,
The Lord is my salvation.

I will not fear when darkness falls,
His strength will help me scale these walls,
I'll see the dawn of the rising sun,
The Lord is my salvation.

Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love;
My debt is paid and the victory won,
The Lord is my salvation.

My hope is hidden in the Lord,
He flowers each promise of His Word,
When winter fades I know spring will come,
The Lord is my salvation.

In times of waiting, times of need,
When I know loss, when I am weak,
I know His grace will renew these days,
The Lord is my salvation.

Who is like...

And when I reach my final day,
He will not leave me in the grave,
But I will rise, He will call me home
The Lord is my salvation.

Who is like...

Glory be to God the Father,
Glory be to God the Son,
Glory be to God the Spirit,
The Lord is our salvation!
