Hymns

Abba Father, if this cup, 
cannot pass from me, 
not my will but yours be done: 
To the dregs will I drink. 

In the scroll it written stands 
That I should do your holy will.
In your law will I delight 
In the depth of my heart.

Not for sacrifice you ask; 
here is my offering an open ear,
See the holocaust I bring: 
Here am I, O Lord.

Your compassion, love and truth, 
constantly turns my death into life Lord,
Lord, your justice I proclaim 
To my friends gathered here.

All I need is love, all I need is love, 
I take no delight in your offering, but in a humble heart. 
All I need is love; all I need is love, 
All I want is a contrite Spirit, all I need is love. 

How can you recite my commandments 
And take my covenant on your lips? 
You who despise my law 
And throw my Words to the winds? 

You throw your lot with the sinners, 
You're always ready to tell lies. 
Such are your ways, your deeds, 
Should I make no signs and be quiet? 

What I really want from my people: 
A sincere sacrifice of praise, 
The trust that I come to save, 
A cry to me in their needs.

All over the world, the Spirit is moving,
All over the world, as the prophets said it would be
All over the world, there's a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

All over the land...
All over the Church...
All over us all...
Deep down in my heart...

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.

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

At the cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last.

Through her heart, his sorrow sharing,
All his bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length the sword has passed.

Oh, how sad and sore distressed
Was that Mother highly blest
Of the sole begotten One!

Christ above in torment hangs;
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying, glorious Son.

Is there one who would not weep,
'Whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ's dear Mother to behold?

Can the human heart refrain
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother's pain untold?

Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child,
All with bloody scourges rent.

For the sins of his own nation,
Saw him hang in desolation
Till his spirit forth he sent.

O sweet Mother! fount of love,
Touch my spirit from above,
Make my heart with yours accord.

Make me feel as you have felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ, my Lord.

Holy Mother, pierce me through,
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Savior crucified.

Let me share with you his pain,
Who for all our sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died.

Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning him who mourned for me,
All the days that I may live:

By the cross with you to stay,
There with you to weep and pray,
This I ask of you to give.

Attende Domine, et miserere,
Quia peccavimus tibi.

Refrain:
Attende Domine, et miserere,
Quia peccavimus tibi.

Ad te Rex summe,
Omnium Redemptor,
Oculos nostros
Sublevamus flentes:
Exaudi, Christe,
Supplicantum preces.
Refrain

Dextera Patris,
Lapis angularis,
Via salutis,
Janua caelestis,
Ablue nostri
Maculas delicti.
Refrain

Rogamus, Deus,
Tuam majestatem:
Auribus sacris
Gemitus exaudi:
Crimina nostra
Placidus indulge.
Refrain

You shall cross the barren desert,
but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words in foreign lands
and all will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.

Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come, follow me, and I will give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters in the sea,
you shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you through it all.

Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come, follow me, and I will give you rest.

Blessed are your poor,
for the kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked tongues insult and hate you
all because of me,
blessed, blessed are you!

Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come, follow me, and I will give you rest.

Beginning today my mornings are Yours,
The hopes that dawn in their light.
Beginning today my evenings and dreams:
My gift to you is my life.

I will always remember the time You first called me
Out of my empty sleep
To waken in me the hope of a new day:
The love I wanted to seek.

You gave me your life Lord, as sign of the springtime
Beginning in me each day.
You made me a person with wonder and love, Lord,
To newly discover your way.

I promise this day I will sing for the world,
The song we begin to share.
To fill up tomorrow with sounds of our love, Lord
The hopes and dreams that we bear.

Christ became obedient unto death, 
unto death, a death upon the Cross.
Therefore God raised him to the heights,
Giving Him a name above all names.

Christ heard the twelve disputing about the highest seat; 
He took a bowl of water and knelt to wash their feet. 
He said to Simon Peter:here-after you will see 
Unless I do this cleansing, you can not share with me. 

I set you an example of what you ought to do, 
Since I, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet for you. 
By this the world shall know you as followers of mine: 
Your love for one another shall be the mark and sign. 

I give the new commandment to those I. choose and send, 
That you should love each other, as I have to the end. 
So faith and hope and loving remain when all is past; 
But of the three great virtues, the greatest is the last.

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 others call

Long have I waited for Your coming home to me
And living deeply our new life

The wilderness will lead you
To the place where I will speak
Integrity and justice
With tenderness You shall know.

You shall sleep secure with peace,
Faithfulness will be your joy.

Come in pilgrim, lay your burden down,
We're all comrades as we travel on the way,
We share a common gift
our covenant in Christ,
and we are going to celebrate his love today.
We will sing and celebrate his love today.

When we come to join in prayer
let us first confess,
we have looked too much to ourselves
and loved each other less

Hear the word proclaimed with pow'r
to search the hearts of all
We shall make its meaning new
By responding to its call.

We are one with Christ our Lord
As he offers his Father’s praise,
We bring gifts: our lives and love,
Seeking God’s will each day.

Come, Jesus, come into this heart of stone. 
Come, Jesus, come into this heart of stone. 
Melt and mould it and make it your own. 
Come, Jesus, come into this heart of stone. 

I'm not ashamed to tell you, Lord, that I'm a sinner man. 
I just love to do the things that go against your plan. 

Love your neighbour as yourself is what you command, 
But his sufferings, tears and pain is something I can't stand. 

When my neighbour's hungry and naked in the street, 
I just cannot bear to see and from him I retreat. 

You want me to be the salt and leaven in the dough, 
But I prefer to stand aloof and let the world just go. 

I want to change myself, I don't wanna be a stone, 
I need your Spirit, Lord, 'cause I can't do it alone.

I've wandered far away from God, Now I'm coming home
The paths of sin too long I've trod Lord, I'm coming home

Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam
Open wide Thine arms of love, Lord, I'm coming home

I've wasted many precious years, Now I'm coming home
I now repent with bitter tears, Lord, I'm coming home

I'm tired of sin and straying, Lord, Now I'm coming home
I'll trust Thy love, believe Thy word, Lord, I'm coming home

My soul is sick, my heart is sore, Now I'm coming home
My strength renew, my home restore, Lord, I'm coming home

My only hope, my only plea, Now I'm coming home
That Jesus died, and died for me, Lord, I'm coming home

I need His cleansing blood I know, Now I'm coming home
Oh, wash me whiter than the snow, Lord, I'm coming home

Day is done, but love unfailing
Dwells ever here;
Shadows fall, but hope prevailing, 
Calms ev'ry fear.
Loving Father, none forsaking,
Take our hearts, of love's own making,
Watch our sleeping, guard our waking,
Be always near.

Dark descends, but light unending
Shines through our night;
You are with us, ever lending
New strength to sight:
One in love, your truth confessing,
One in hope of heaven's blessing,
May we see, in love's possessing,
Love's endless light!

Eyes will close, but you, unsleeping,
Watch by our side;
Death may come, in love's safekeeping
Still we abide.
God of love, all evil quelling,
Sin forgiving, fear dispelling,
Stay with us, our hearts indwelling,
This eventide.

Deep within my sins accuse me;
Lord, before you could I stand?
Be attentive to my pleading,
Let your love withhold your hand;
For with you is grace & pardon,
You forgive us when we err,
Now for this we come to thank you
And your holy name revere.

For the Lord my soul is waiting,
As I listen to his word.
As the watchman longs for daybreak,
So I'm longing for the Lord,
Since in him I find redemption,
Now I come to seek his face,
Even though my sins are many,
All my trust in him I place.

Father, into your hands, I commend my soul. 

You are my refuge, 0 Lord, leave me not confounded 
And in your justice 0 Lord, free me and redeem me. 

I am the scorn of my foes, horror to my neighbours. 
Even my friends in the street, run away and leave me. 

See, like a dead man am I, slighted and forgotten; 
And like a thing thrown away, like a broken vessel. 

But I will trust in you, Lord, say, "You are my Saviour". 
I place my life in your hands, free me from oppression. 

O let your light shine on me, save me in your great love. 
All you who hope in the Lord, let your heart take courage.

From the depths I call to You, O Lord,
Listen to my cry

Lord, in compassion, listen to my pleading,
Listen to my cry,
If You refuse, Lord, to forgive your people's sins,
We shall surely die.

So I am waiting, waiting for Him patiently,
Hoping in His word,
More than the watchman waiting for the dawn to come
I await the Lord.

So let us trust him, for in Him is mercy;
He the Lord, is kind.
He gives us pardon, generous redemption,
Casts our sins behind.

God of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me
Father let me call Thee Father 'tis this child returns to Thee

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

By my sins I have deserved death, and endless misery
Hell with all its pains and torments, for all eternity.

By my sins I have abandoned, right and claim to Heaven above
Where the Saints rejoice for ever, in a boundless sea of love.

See our Savior bleeding, dying, on the cross of Calvary
To that cross my sins have nailed Him, yet He bleeds and dies for me.

Hear my cry O Lord my God, Listen to my prayer; 
From the earth’s end I call to you, When my heart is faint. 

Set me High on a rock, you are my refuge O Lord. 
Chorus

Let me stay in your tent, safe in the shade of your wings 
Chorus

I will echo your praise, pay my vows day after day 
Chorus

I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.

Tho' none go with me, I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me, I still will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.

My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus;
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus,
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus;
No turning back, No turning back.

The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.

If you wish to be my disciple, 
Take up your cross and follow me. 

The Foxes have their holes, the birds their nest,
But I have not a place to take my rest. 
Chorus. 

Whoever loves his life, will only lose it,
It’s only sacrifice that brings one gain.
Chorus.

All you who labour, come you who are burdened,
Take up my yoke as well and you’ll find rest. 
Chorus.

The one who holds the plough and looks behind,
My Kingdom cannot serve, my peace won’t find. 
Chorus.

A Servant surely is less than his master,
If they have hated me, they will hate you. 
Chorus.

Take nothing for your pay, no bread, no money,
Your treasure must be one no moth destroys. 
Chorus. .

So let your lions be girt, your lamps aburning,
And be like those who wait for my return. 
Chorus.

You who have followed me, when life is ended,
Will reap a hundredfold eternally. 
Chorus.

In His time, in His time,
He makes all things beautiful in His time.
Lord, please show me everyday
As You’re teaching me Your way,
That you do just what You say in Your time.

In Your time, in Your time,
You make all things beautiful in Your time.
Lord, my life to You I bring,
With its winter and its spring,
May I fathom everything in Your time.

There’s a time, there’s a time
Both for sowing and for reaping there’s a time.
Time for losing, time for gain,
Time for joy and time for pain,
Every purpose under heaven has a time.

There are times, there are days,
Weeks and months we cannot understand God’s ways.
If for years we fail to scan
What is his eternal plan,
We’ll remember that He can, all the time.

Into Your hands I commend my spirit, O Lord, 
Into your hands I commend my life. 

It's you, O Lord, who are my sanctuary 
So let me not be put to shame. 
Into your hands I commend my spirit, Lord 
Redeem me, Lord, and set me free. 

Both friend and foe run far away from me, 
They look at me with fear and scorn 
I have become an object of reproach 
A man forgotten placed with the dead. 

But as for me I trust in you, O Lord, 
I say to him: "You are my God". 
From all my foes deliver me, O Lord;
I place my life, in your safe hands. 

So let your face shine on your servant, Lord 
So save me now, in your great love; 
Let all who hope take courage in the Lord; 
Be strong of heart and trust in him.

Into Your hands we commend our spirit O Lord,
Into Your hands we commend our hearts.
For we must die to ourselves in loving You,
Into Your hands we commend our love.

O God, my God, why have You gone from me,
Far from my prayers, far from my cry?
To You I call and you never answer me,
You send no comfort and I don’t know why!

You’ve been my guide since I was very yound,
You showed the way, you brought relief;
But now I’m lonely, nobody’s by my side:
Take heed, my Lord, listen to my prayer.
