THE WORD INCARNATE
The word incarnate sacrificed his life
upon the cross
And willed that he should die for one and all
And through his sacrifice he gave
To us what we had lost
Through that fateful deed which
Brought about his fall
We offer this bread to you O Lord
We offer this wine
In union with Christ our Lord and God
We offer you praise, we offer you praise!

WIND OF GOD
23
O Lord my god,
when Im in awesome wonder
Consider all, the works thy hands have made,
I see the stars; I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy power throughout
the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul, my saviour God to
Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
(2)
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 burdens gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
When Christ shall come,
with shouts of acclamation,
And take me home,
what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, My God,
how great thou art.
HOW LOVELY ON THE MOUNTAINS
How lovely on the Mountains
Are the feet of him
Who bring good news, good news
Announcing peace,
Proclaiming news of happiness.
Our God Reigns, Our God reigns
Our God Reigns (4)
He had no stately form, he had no majesty
That we should be drawn to Him.
He was despised
And we took no account of Him
Yet now he reigns with the most high.
Now he reigns (3)
With the most High
It was our sin and guilt
That bruised and wounded Him

ANXIOUS WATERS
When I'm cold inside your life in me it finds
The whisperings of anxious waters
Alone this island seeks
and on your pillow weeps
The whisperings of anxious waters.
Awaits my life to find a rest.
Still searching for my pot of gold,
Deserted by all.
You only said that I am the truth and
I am the way and I am the life.
That those who linger on my shores
Will never go thirsty no more.
Then hurry Lord Jesus I've turned my ways
Ive turned the clock unto the dawn
Ive learnt the hard way on this day that
without you Im in for a fall.
That aint life at all!
ONE DAY AT A TIME
I'm only human, I'm just a person
Lord help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am
Show me the stairway, I have to climb,
Lord for my sake, teach me to take,
One day at a time.

I WILL SING
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Lord you seem so far away
A million miles or more it feels today
Though I haven't lost my faith,
I must confess right now, that it's hard for me
to pray
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as you give the grace
With all that's in my heart
I will sing, I will praise
Even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise
Lift my hands to honour you
Because your word is true
I will sing
Lord its hard for me to see
All the thoughts and plans you have for me
But I will put my trust in you
Knowing that you died, to set me free.
PASS IT ON
It only takes a spark
To get a fire going.
And soon all those around,
Can warm up in its glowing.
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it,
You spread his love to everyone;
You want to pass it on.
What a wondrous time is spring,
When all the trees are budding;
The birds begin to sing,
The flowers start their blooming.
That's how it is with God's love;
Once you've experienced it,
You want to sing, It's fresh like spring;
You want to pass it on.
I wish for you my friend,
This happiness that I've found.
You can depend on Him,
It matters not where you're bound.
I'll shout it from the mountain top
I want the world to know;
The Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on.

Through the night of pain
Teach me Lord to know your way,

DAYS OF ELIJAH
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the Lord
And these are the days of your servant,
Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Behold he comes, Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet call
Lift your voice; its the year of jubilee
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes
And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of your servant, David
Rebuilding a temple of praise,
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are as white in your world
And we are the labourers in your vineyard
Declaring the word of the Lord
I SURRENDER ALL
All the Jesus I surrender
All to him I freely give
I will ever love and trust him
In his presence daily live
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to thee my blessed saviour
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
HE IS EXALTED

The sun has come up, the night is behind,
Go down in the city, into the street
And lets give the message to the people we
meet.
GO FORTH

GIVE ME OIL
TESTIFY TO LOVE
All the colours of the rainbow
All of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love began
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
34
He sent me
to give the good news to the poor
Tell prisoners
that they are prisoners no more
Tell blind people that they can see
And set the downtrodden free
BIND US TOGETHER
35
Im trading my sorrows
Im trading my shame
Im laying them down for the joy of the Lord
Im trading my sickness
Im trading my pain
Im laying them down for the joy of the Lord
We sing: Yes Lord, Yes Lord
Yes, Yes Lord (3) Amen.
Im pressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed.
Im blessed beyond the curse
For his promise will endure
And his joy is going to be my strength
For my sorrow may last for a night
His joy comes in the morning
ARISE
One Thing we ask of you
One thing that we desire
That as we worship you
Lord, come and change our lives
AVE MARIA
Ave Maria, gratia plena
Dominus tecum, benedicta tu
As I kneel before you
As I bow my head in prayer
Take this day, make it yours
And fill me with your love
All I have to give you
Every dream and wish are yours
Mother of Christ, mother of mine

watched their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir of angels sing
The music seems to come from afar
EMMANUEL

SILVER BELLS
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style,
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells (2) It's Christmas time in the
city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day!
Strings of street lights even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their
treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle you hear

BORN A KING
Born a King, on that Christmas long ago
Silver stars were all aglow
Angels came to earth below
And sang glory, glory to God in the highest
Born a King, stepping from Eternity
Christ the Son of God is He, Taking on
humanity
O Sing glory, glory to God
Only the Shepherds gave welcome,
Others had turned Him away,
Only a manger they offered
Out with the cattle He lay
Oh what a wonder that yonder we see
There on that cradle of hay
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will
perform this (3)
For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is
given (2)
And the Government shall be upon His
shoulder
And His name shall be called Wonderful
Counsellor, the mighty God,
The Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace
Of the increase of His Government
And Peace there shall be no end (2)
Of His Government & Peace,
There shall be no end, no end
WE THREE KINGS
We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
47
Oh Lord, my God
Why have you gone from me
Far from my face Far from my cry
To You I call
And you never answer me
You send no comfort
And I don't know why
On a hill faraway
Stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old Cross
Where the dearest and blest
For a world of lost sinners was slain
JESUS KNOWS
48
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
JESUS ALWAYS LOVED HIS OWN
Jesus always loved His own
And He showed it to the full
When at Supper from the table
He got up and took a towel
Then He wrapped it round His waist
In a basin water poured
Then began to wash the feet of all His friends
Know my brothers what Ive done to you
Lord you call me it is what I am
If then I Your Lord deigned to wash your
feet
You should do the same
and wash each others feet.
Jesus always love His own
And He showed it to the full
When He came to Simon Peter
The apostle said to Him
Never shall you wash my feet
