One Small Child


One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a saviour tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small city of light (One small city of light) One small city of light

One king bringing his gold and riches
One king ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and candlelight
One King bringing us life oh...

See Him lying a cradle beneath Him
See Him smiling in the stall
See His mother praising His father
See His tiny eyelids fall

One small light from the flame of a candle
One small light from a city of might
One small light from the stars in the endless night
One small light from His face oh...

See the shepherds kneeling before Him
See the kings on bended knee
See the mother His father
See the Blessed Infant sleep

One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream in a people of might

One small hand reaching out to the starlight

One small saviour of life (One small saviour of life) One small saviour of life.
Lyrics: David Meece

Thanks for the blood

Thanks for the blood, the blood of Calvary
Thanks for the blood, the blood that sets us free
Thanks for the blood
Thanks for the blood
Thank You Father for Jesus
Thank You Jesus for bleeding
Thank You Spirit for leading me to the blood

In the presence

In the presence of Your infinite might
I’m so small and frail and weak
When I see your power and wisdom, Lord
I have no words left to speak
 
In the presence of a holy God
There’s new meaning now to grace
You took all my sins upon Yourself
I can only stand amazed.

Chorus:

And I cry holy, holy, holy God
How awesome is Your name
Holy, holy, holy God
How majestic is Your reign
And I am changed in the presence of a holy God



In the power of Your glory
All my crowns lie in the dust
You are righteous in Your judgments, Lord
You are faithful true and just

(Words and music by Mark Altrogge)

Spirit of God Be For Us Joy

Spirit of God be for us joy
Healing gift of love creating a new heart
Longing to be,
Spirit alive
Very life of God be rooted within us

Voice which calls us beyond shattered dreams
Barren days
To receive and give of God's love

May you kindle our hope
In the morning of life
May you bring us
Peace with day's end


We've been waiting so long
For this moment in life,
For the fullness of each one’s love

The Spirit of the Lord

The Spirit of the Lord will be poured upon us
Then shall the desert soon become such fertile land
Justice shall take root in the thriving wasteland
And integrity will flourish in the valley

The Spirit of God moves us to bring
Good news to poor and stranger
And to the blind, new visions clear
To set prisoners free

Integrity will keep peace within our land
Justice shall take root in enduring harmony
My people will live in a land so peaceful
How happy you shall be planting next to every stream

Yes as the earth nurtures its crops
For all to share and care for
So will our God bring to birth
The Spirit within us

The Spirit of the Lord will be poured upon us
Then shall the desert soon become such fertile land
Justice shall take root in the thriving wasteland
And integrity will flourish in the valley.

The Spirit of the Lord...
The Spirit of the Lord...

Just Look How Far You've Come

So you've lost your will to live
Seems you're down to your last friend
And the weight of the world keeps trying to pull you in

Chorus:
Don't give up, don't give in. 
Give it all to Him, 
'Cause He cares so much more than you know
When it seems who you really want to be
Is someone you'll never become
Just look how far you've com
e

Though you failed at plans you've made
Don't forget all the steps you've made
He has brought you this far
He can take you the rest of the way

Chorus

 I know it's not always easy
(How far you've come)
But don't you throw it all away
(How far you've come)
I know that He will take care of you everyday

Chorus

No Other Name


Above His name, there is no other name
The one who is eternally the same
There is no other name
The first and last
Beginning and the end
He was the king who made the common man His friend
There is no other name
Let every tongue proclaim and sing the name of

Jesus
Magnify and praise the name of Jesus
No other name but Jesus
There's power in the precious name of Jesus
Jesus
Messiah, King of kings and Lord of lords
Jesus

He created all that is with His own hands
And yet the smallest need He understands
There is no other name
The one who said "I am the great I Am"
And then He gave Himself the sacrifice for man
There is no other name
Let every tongue proclaim and sing the name of

Jesus
Magnify and praise the name of Jesus
No other name but Jesus
There's power in the precious name of Jesus
Jesus
Forever He shall reign as King of kings
Lord of all and every living thing
From now on we'll worship Him
And praise the name of
Praise the name of
Magnify and praise the name of Jesus
Let's magnify and praise the name of Jesus
No other name but Jesus
There's power in the precious name of Jesus
Jesus
Forever He shall reign as King of kings
Lord of all and every living thing
From now on we'll worship Him
And praise the name of Jesus
Jesus
Magnify and praise of name of Jesus

How Many Times

How many times must Christ call to us
Before His message is heard
How many times must He knock at our door
Before we answer His call
How many times must His grace be poured out
Before our response will be heard

The answer my friend must come from within 
The answer must come from within 

How many times must my shadow appear
Before you know that I'm there
How many times must I wait all alone
Before you show that you care
How many times must I carry my cross
Before you are willing to share

Lord we know You are calling to us
In every person we meet
Lord You know that You're challenging us
In every cross that we bear
Lord we know that Your love will be there
To bring our response from within

You Shall Be My Witnesses

You shall be my witnesses
Unto the ends of the earth
Witnessing to my truth
And to my love 

If you follow in my footsteps
You shall be my witness
If you take up your cross and follow me
And do not be afraid,
But believe in me.

If you abide in me,
You shall be my witness
For with me in you, you will bear fruit in plenty
A fruit that will remain,
A fruit that will last


If you love one another
You shall be my witness
For then everyone will know that you are mine
When you love one another in truth
As I have loved you


If you are filled with the Spirit
You shall be my witness
What to say will be given so do not be afraid
For He who is the spirit of your father
Will speak in you

Peace I leave with you

Peace I leave with you my friends
Shalom my peace in all you do
Peace I leave with you my friends
I give to you so you can give to others too


To share his love is why I came,
To show His kindness to all men
Go now my friends and do the same,
Until I come again.

Take my hand and be at peace,
The spirit of our love I send;
And with this love you will be free,
Until I come again...

With this love all men will know,
That loneliness is at an end,
Rejoice my people though I go
For I will come again...

Peace I leave with you my friends
Shalom my peace in all you do
Peace I leave with you my friends
I give to you so you can give to others too

It Is His Faithfulness

Some may say that I am fearless, some may say that I am strong.
On the surface I might seem quite self-assured.
But if they could see the person underneath the face I wear,
They would see I'm just a child who's insecure.
But I have a loving Father who surrounds me in His arms
And if there is a reason for this peace, for this calm...

It is His faithfulness
It is His strength in me
My only confidence I find in Jesus' name
It is His faithfulness
That gives me rest and peace
And in His faithfulness you will find the same
Yes in His faithfulness you will find the same

 And I could not stand without Him
All my strength would fade away
I would be as lost and helpless as a lamb
I am constantly dependent on His power and His love
To create in me the person that I am

And it's true that I am fearless. Yes it's true that I am strong,
But Jesus is the reason, not myself. Not my own.

Chorus

Rise Again


Go ahead drive the nails in My hands,
Laugh at Me where you stand.
Go ahead, and say it isn't Me,
The day will come when you will see,

'Cause I'll rise again.
There's no pow'r on earth can tie Me down.
Yes, I'll rise again,
Death can't keep Me in the ground.

Go ahead mock My name,
My love for you is still the same.
Go ahead and bury Me,
But very soon I will be free.

'Cause I'll rise again.
There's no pow'r on earth can tie Me down.
Yes, I'll rise again,
Death can't keep Me in the ground.

Go ahead, and say I'm dead and gone,
But you will see that you were wrong.
Go ahead, and try to hide the Son,
But all will see that I'm the One.

"Cause I'll come again.
There's no pow'r on earth can keep it back.
Yes, I'll come again;
Come to take My people back
Yes I'll come again;
Come to take My people back

Love Was When


Love was when God became a Man,
Locked in time and space, without rank or race;
Love was God born of Jewish kin;
Just a carpenter with some fishermen.
Love was when Jesus walked in history,
Lovingly He brought a new life that's free,
Love was God nailed to bleed and die
To reach and love one such as I.

Love was when God became a Man,
Down where I could see Love that reached to me;
Love was God dying for my sin
And so trapped was I my whole world caved in.

Love was when Jesus rose to walk with me
Lovingly He brought a new life that’s free
Love was God only He would try
To reach and love one such as I.

Praise The Lord (He Never Changes)

Life is moving faster than it ever has before
What tomorrow brings us isn't certain anymore
Many paths from which to choose, don't know which way to run
Cause every road leads nowhere, every road except for one

Chorus:
Praise the Lord He never changes
I come to Him
He's always there
He comforts me on every level
Takes the burden that I bear
Praise the Lord He never changes
He's never any other way
And He'll be the same tomorrow as He was and is today


Friends and faces come and go
Like ashes in the wind
Attitudes arise that I don't fully understand
Things you can count upon grow fewer everyday
When their number gets to one
The One who's gonna show the way

Praise the Lord He never changes
I come to Him
He's always there
He comforts me on every level
Takes the burden that I bear
Praise the Lord He never changes
He's never any other way
And He'll be the same tomorrow as he was and is, 

You know He is ...today.

Lifted Up

The Son of Man must be lifted up,
Lifted up on high...
The Son of Man must be lifted up,
Lifted up on high...


Lifted up on high
Lifted up on high
Lifted up on high
Lifted up on high...Jesus...Jesus is Lord

He Is Able


He is able, more than able.
To accomplish what concerns me today.
He is able, more than able.
To handle anything that comes my way,
He is able more than able,
To do much more than I could ever dream,
He is able, more than able.
To make me what He wants me to be.

Centre of Your will

Center of Your Will

Living in this temple, dealing with this clay,
I've been known to compromise,
You have seen me turn away
Though I am distracted by a temporary thrill,
I could never live outside the center of Your will.

Resolutions broken, promises unkept,
You have held my faithless heart
Like a father while you wept.
I've been on the edge before and I have felt the chill,
But I could never live outside the center of Your will.

Keep me in the center of Your will,
Keep me in the center of Your will.
In the center of Your will.

I am bought and chosen, servant to the throne,
Following a higher call for my life is not my own,
Though I sometimes fear this place, and find it hard to fill,
I could never live outside the center of Your will.

(as performed by Twila Paris)
