01. Hymn 140
(Words adapted from the hymn by Charles Wesley)
Glory fills the skies, Christ, the only Light
Son of Righteousness, triumphs over night
Saviour from on high, be near; now today
Always in my heart to stay
Dark and cheerless without thee
Joyful is the day’s return
When thy mercy’s beams I see
When thy inward light impart
Still my soul, and warm my heart
Holy Spirit, come, pierce the gloom of sin
Radiance divine, scatter all my grief
Change this heart of mine
To love you ever more
God, the one that I adore
More and more thyself displayed
Dark and cheerless without thee
Lord, display thyself in me
Glorified through all my deeds
More and more thyself in me
‘Til at last thy face I see
More and more thyself displayed within me
Words by Charles Wesley; music by Alanna Rodgers, Andrew Judd, Andrew Massey & Garage Hymnal (© 2011 Garage Hymnal/Rhinoceros Music Publishing)
02. Bind Us Together/Unity
John 17:11
We delight in righteousness
We rest in your arms, hunger for the lost
Stand here as one, as one
We are humbled by your grace
In awe of your love, long for unity
We long for unity
That we may be one as you are one
Father, Spirit, Son, you are one
You are one
We delight in righteousness
We rest in your arms, hunger for the lost
Stand here as one, as one
We are humbled by your grace
In awe of your love, long for unity
We long for unity
That we may be one as you are one
Father, Spirit, Son, you are one
You are one,
That we may be one as you are one
Father, Spirit, Son, you are one
You are one
There is work for our hands
Ground for our feet
(Words that must be spoken,
Salvation must be spoken)
x4
That we may be one as you are one
Father, Spirit, Son, you are one
You are one
03. Fairest Lord Jesus
(Words adapted from the traditional hymn translated by Joseph A. Seiss, Colossians 1:16)
Fairest Lord Jesus, Lord of all creation
Jesus, of God and Man
You will I cherish, you will I honour
You are my soul’s delight and crown
Fair are the meadows, fair are the woods
Robed in the blooms of spring
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer
He makes the saddest heart to sing
Fair are the flowers, fair are the children
Beautiful in all their youth
Yet is their beauty, fading and fleeting
Lord Jesus yours will never fade
Fair is the moonlight, fairer still the sunshine
Fair is the starry sky
My Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines clearer
Than all the heavenly host on high
All fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly
Jesus, in you is found
None can be nearer, fairer or dearer
Than you my Saviour to me bound
I vow to you, my Saviour
That where your feet have trod
I will serve and always follow you
My Jesus, my God
Words by German Jesuits, English translation by Joseph A. Seiss, 1873;
Music by Alanna Rodgers, Richard Fenton, Greg Cooper, Andrew Judd & Garage Hymnal.
Excerpt from ‘I Vow To Thee, My Saviour’ (1918) - words by Richard T. Bewes after Cecil Spring-Rice; music by Gustav Holst
04. We Are Waiting
(Titus 2:11-14)
Terrible wounds on your body
Indelible marks of your love
Have gathered your people together
A shadow of glory above
Shattering walls of division
Nations will worship as one
You are the God of all people
You are the God who has come
We are waiting
We are waiting here for you
Come lead your people home again
Come show your power and reckless love
May we arise and take our place
May we be worthy of this call now
Comforting words for your people
The time for our mourning has passed
Darkness of exile is over
Salvation appearing at last
Leading us home through the desert
Keep us from wandering apart
Help us to treasure each other
The broken ones dear to your heart
words & music by Greg Cooper, Andrew Judd & Garage Hymnal
05. Amen
(2 Corinthians 1:20)
When we are broken, you will heal
When are weary, you will fill
When we are desperate, you will hear
When we are hurting, you deliver
Your promises find their "Yes" in Christ
Your love is steadfast, it is sure
You are the anchor for our souls
So we sing
We sing amen, we sing glory to you
We sing amen, we sing glory to you
Our God is faithful, our God is here
When we are crying, you embrace
When we are lonely, you are grace
You are good, you are gracious
You are God and we worship
You are good, you are gracious
You are God and we worship
You put a seal on our hearts
We are yours, so we worship
You are here in this place
You are God!
06. Holy One
There is no one else but you
You alone are God
There is no one else for us, you alone are LORD
In your goodness and your grace
God, you never change
Perfect and eternal one, age to age, the same
You are God
Holy one, we praise you
Holy Spirit move in us, show us how to love
Teach our hands and guide our feet, fix our eyes above
Why do I love you God?
Because you are beautiful, because you are holy, because you are good
Why do I love you God?
Because you are glorious, because you are constant, because you are life
You are the one I love, you are the one I love
You are the one I love, because you are God
07. Sunday Came
(John 20:29)
Sunday came, darkness hides in shame
Desert plains, greet the morning sun
Mourn no more, feel the rising joy
Hearts revived, dust returns to life
We have not seen but we know you’re alive
We know not when but that soon we will see
Someday soon, clouds will part again
You will come, riding victory
Earth will bow, justice waits for you
Bodies new, we will rise with you
And we’re singing hallelujah
And we’re singing hallelujah to you Lord
And we’re singing hallelujah
For you have come
08. Found In You
You are, shield for defenceless ones
Help for the fatherless
Grace for the broken
You are exalted above all else
You are my rock, you are my stronghold
You are my light, you are my saviour
Whom shall I fear?
I will be found in you
You are, the one hiding place from sin
Resplendent with light and power
Forgiving and good
You are exalted above all else
I call on you, you lift me up
I am your child made new
I call on you, you lift me up
I am your child made new
09. We Praise You
(Words adapted from the ancient liturgical hymn ‘Te Deum’)
We praise you, our God, our Lord
Together with angels, we as one
Cry Holy, Lord God of hosts
Heaven and earth could not subdue
Give us your help now, our sovereign Lord
All of your people, you’ve bought with blood
Bless us and keep us, your mercy light our faces
Light our faces, God
Light our way
You came down, faced sharpest death
Opened up life to all on earth
You sit now at God’s right hand
Bringing your justice on our land
10. Stand Firm
When legs are heavy feet are worn
Our spirits sink and writhe and turn
We will fix our eyes on our eternal prize
Once we were blackened dead in sin
And now death has lost its sting
For in Jesus victory over death is won
Stand firm, be strong, courage, hold on for our God
Time will come when days are done
All will bow before the holy one
Glory, honour, majesty
I forever worship thee alone, my God
Like the fool who built the boat
When the rains were not in sight
Faith is trusting God there’s more than meets the eye
We are fools but not ashamed
We are tired not overcome
We have treasures hidden deep in jars of clay
11. May The Words
(Psalm 19:14)
May the words of my mouth
And the cries of my heart
And may all of my days
Be for you
Be for you always
12. All That I Am
All that I was, all that I am
Graciously change me and make me yours
All that I own, all that I’ve lost
Humbly I lay into your hands
All my desires, all of my sin
Take my thoughts captive and make them yours
All that I want, all of my plans
Help me to hold with open hands
Heavenly Father, you are unchanging
Maker of all things, you are the holy one
Hear my soul cry: ‘Make this heart new’
We have one saviour
We have one lamp to guide our feet
We have one calling
We have one hope in you alone
All that awaits, all the unknown
Teach me to trust you, faithful one
All of my life, even to death
May you be glorified in me
