You, Lord 01:51
You, Lord, are in this place Your presence fills it Your presence is peace You, Lord, are in my heart Your presence fills it Your presence is peace You, Lord, are in my mind Your presence fills it Your presence is peace You, Lord, are in my life Your presence fills it Your presence is peace

Come, anyone who is weary Come, if you’re heavy laden Come, if you have no peace in your soul Come take my yoke upon you Come and be my disciple Walk with me in the unforced rhythm of grace Burned out on religion Sick and tired of trying You’ve lost the world, but still not gained your soul Come, I have nothing heavy Come and be my disciple Walk with me in the unforced rhythm of grace The rhythm, the rhythm of grace Waking and sleeping Walking and working Hearing and doing Thanking and resting Walk with me in the unforced rhythm of grace

As the bridegroom to his chosen, As the king is to his realm, As keep is to the castle, As the pilot to the helm, This is what you are to me, Lord This is what you are to me As the fountain in the garden, As the candle in the dark, As the treasure in the coffer, As the manna in the ark, So, Lord, art Thou to me. As the ruby in the setting, As the honey in the comb, As the light within the lantern, As the father in the home, So, Lord, art Thou to me. As the sunshine in the heavens, As the image in the glass, As the fruits upon the fig tree, As the dew upon the grass, So, Lord, art Thou to me.

Father, I know that all my life is portioned out for me, And the changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see; But I ask Thee for a present mind intent on pleasing Thee. I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, and to wipe the weeping eyes; And a heart at leisure from itself, to soothe and sympathize. I would not have the restless will that hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, and guided where I go. Wherever in the world I am, in whatso’er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts to keep and cultivate; And a work of lowly love to do for the Lord on whom I wait. So I ask Thee for the daily strength, to none that ask denied, And a mind to blend with outward life while keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, if Thou be glorified. And if some things I do not ask in my cup of blessing be, I would have my spirit filled the more with grateful love to Thee, More careful, not to serve Thee much, but to please Thee perfectly.

O for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road That leads me closer to the Lamb! Where is the blessedness I knew When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and his word? What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet is their memory still! But they have left an aching void That this whole world can never fill. Return, O Holy Dove! return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made you mourn, And drove you far from my breast. The dearest idol I have known, Whate’er that idol be, Help me to tear it from your throne, And worship only thee. So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene will be my frame; And purer light shall mark the road That leads me onwards to the Lamb.

Light of God 02:55
Light of God to give us hope Power of God to protect us Light of God to give us joy Peace of God to calm us Light of God to give us faith Grace of God to save us This night and evermore Light of God
7.
Mercy 03:41
Mercy drops round us are falling Love descending God by his Spirit is speaking Refreshing our hearts Falling like rain on the dry land Soaking and flooding the parched ground Lord let your righteousness pour down Upon us today Wilderness hearts are now blooming Joy returning Praises and blessings ascending Pleasing to you Great is the torrent we’re needing Peace restoring Power and glory releasing Healing your church
8.
You have searched me and you know me When I sit and when I rise You have placed your hand upon me All I do is beneath your eyes While my thoughts are still unspoken You have heard the words I will say Even darkness cannot hide me You can turn my night to day. Where shall I run from your Spirit? To the heavens? – You are there In the depths or in the distance I am still beneath your care You have moulded my inmost being Formed me in my mother’s womb Great and marvellous my creation Woven on your master loom All the days that lie before me You have known and you have planned Still your thoughts are ever with me More than all the grains of sand.
9.
When in our worship God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, it is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia! How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia! So has the Church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong, borne witness to the truth in every tongue, Alleluia! And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night when utmost evil strove against the Light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight, Alleluia! Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always Alleluia!
