The Lord's My Shepherd...

 

 The Lord's My Shepherd

 Stuart Townend

The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want;

He makes me lie in pastures green.

He leads me by the still, still waters,

His goodness restores my soul.

And I will trust in You alone,

And I will trust in You alone,

For Your endless mercy follows me,

Your goodness will lead me home.

He guides my ways in righteousness,

And He anoints my head with oil,

And my cup, it overflows with joy,

I feast on His pure delights.

And though I walk the darkest path,

I will not fear the evil one,

For You are with me, and Your rod and staff

Are the comfort I need to know.

The Battle and the Blessing...

 

The Battle and the Blessing 

CityAlight

We did not bear the wounds that freed us   

Or walk the road to Calvary

We did not share Your cup of suffering 

And yet we share Your victory 

 

V2

We did not wear that heavy burden

Nor face the shame and agony 

A crown of thorns was placed upon You

Now we are crowned with love and peace  

CHORUS

Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free

At the cross Your grace took hold of me

There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

V3

You chose to be a man of sorrows

That I can be a child of God

You stood and faced this world’s rejection

I stand, accepted by Your love

CHORUS

Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free

At the cross Your grace took hold of me

There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

V4

My sin was buried with the Saviour

Now there is hope beyond the tomb 

For You were raised again in glory

And I am raised to life in You

Forevermore to live with You!

CHORUS

Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free

At the cross Your grace took hold of me

There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free

At the cross Your grace took hold of me

There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

I Will Praise Him Again

 

Psalm 42: I Will Praise Him Again 

CityAlight

Why, my soul, are you downcast?

Why are you troubled within?

For I will hope in my Saviour, my God

And will praise Him, yet praise Him again

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

I will praise Him yet praise Him again

Morning by morning, new mercies are streaming

I trust in your goodness where I cannot see

You have been faithful whenever I wandered

Lord, give me the hope that I need

Fairest Lord Jesus

Come Back To Me...

 

 Come Back To Me (Hosea) 

Sunday 7pm Choir

Come back to me with all your heart.

Don't let fear keep us apart.

Trees do bend, though straight and tall,

So must we to other's call.

Long have I waited for

Your coming home to me

 And living deeply our new life.

The wilderness will lead you

To your heart where I will speak.

Integrity and justice,

With tenderness, you shall know.

Long have I waited for

Your coming home to me

And living deeply our new life.

You shall sleep secure with peace;

Faithfulness will be your joy.

Long have I waited for

Your coming home to me

 And living deeply our new life.

Holy Forever

Chris Tomlin

A thousand generations falling down in worship

To sing the song of ages to the Lamb

And all who've gone before us and all who will believe

Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb

Your name is the highest

Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all

All thrones and dominions

All powers and positions

Your name stands above them all

And the angels cry holy

All creation cries holy

You are lifted high, holy

Holy forever

If you've been forgiven and if you've been redeemed

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

If you walk in freedom and if you bear His name

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

We'll sing the song forever and amen

And the angels cry holy

All creation cries holy

You are lifted high, holy

Holy forever

Hear Your people sing holy

To the King of kings, holy

You will always be holy

Holy forever

Your name is the highest

Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all

All thrones and dominions

All powers and positions

Your name stands above them all

Jesus

Your name is the highest

Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all 

All thrones and dominions

All powers and positions

Your name stands above them all

And the angels cry holy

All creation cries holy

You are lifted high, holy

Holy forever 

Hear Your people sing holy

To the King of kings, holy 

You will always be holy

Holy forever

You will always be holy

Holy forever

Is He Worthy?

 Is He Worthy? 

Chris Tomlin 

Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)

Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)

But do you know that all the dark won't

Stop the light from getting through? (We do)

Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)

Is all creation groaning? (It is)

Is a new creation coming? (It is)

Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)

Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

He was David's root and the Lamb who died 

to ransom the slave

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Of all blessing and honor and glory

Is He worthy of this?

He is!

Does the Father truly love us? (He does)

Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)

And does Jesus, our Messiah 

hold forever those He loves? (He does)

Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

He is David's root and the Lamb who died

 to ransom the slave

From every people and tribe

Every nation and tongue

He has made us a kingdom and priests to God

To reign with the Son

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Of all blessing and honor and glory

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Is He worthy of this?

He is!

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

He is! He is!

God Gets into Our Boat

by Hans Boersma

8/5/24

The disciples are scared out of their wits. Demonic waves and wind are all around. Who is that shadowy figure walking on these waves?

Jesus means to pass them by (Mark 6:49). This is our ultimate reality check. Recall when Moses is in the cleft of the rock, as the Lord comes down in the cloud: “The Lord passed by him” and proclaimed his name (Exod. 34:6). And remember Job—“Behold he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him” (Job  9:11). When God passes by, it means he has come down from his heavenly mountain temple—like he came to Moses, like he came to Job.

But like Job, we “see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him.” Like the disciples, our hearts are hard; we cannot see. We are beside ourselves with fear. “It is a ghost,” we cry. Well, no, it is not a ghost; it is God himself. God has descended from on high. “Take heart,” he says, “it is I—egō eimi—I am.” “Do not be afraid.” Read it all!
