We Respond to God’s Presence

Song of the Prophets

Ancient Prophets

In ages past the mighty Lord by prophets spoke the Word,

And from their lips God’s great design throughout the earth was heard.

In revelation, parable, bold fantasy, and dream,

They echoed God’s eternal vow to ransom and redeem.

Obadiah

The day of wrath is close at hand, when God will draw the line

between the good and wicked lot, the vinegar and wine.

Their destiny lies at the end of chosen paths they trod:

the sinners lost in dear dismay, the saints at home with God.

Prophets’ Promise

Yet still in present, troubled days we seek to hear God’s voice

And in the face of our distress, find reason to rejoice.

Grant us the wisdom to discern through faith who we should be—

A fallen race, restored through grace, a captive world set free

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song.

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease.

My Comforter, my All in All,

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,

Fullness of God in helpless babe!

This Gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save.

Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain.

Then bursting forth in glorious day

Up from the grave He rose again.

And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me.

For I am His and He is mine,

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life no fear in death.

This is the power of Christ in me.

From life’s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of Hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand.

‘Til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I stand.

There is a Higher Throne

1. There is a higher throne than all this world has known,

Where faithful ones from ev’ry tongue will one day come.

Before the Son we’ll stand, made faultless through the Lamb;

Believing hearts find promised grace; Salvation comes.

Chorus:  Hear Heaven’s voices sing; Their thund’rous anthem rings

Through emerald courts and sapphire skies; Their praises rise.

All glory, wisdom, pow’r, strength,

thanks and honour are to God, our King,

Who reigns on high forevermore.

2. And there we’ll find our home; Our life before the throne.

We’ll honour Him in perfect song where we belong.

He’ll wipe each tear stained eye as thirst and hunger die.

The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King; We’ll reign with Him.

Trinity Song

Verse 1

God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, three in one.

God the Father loves me so, Gave His Word so I would know.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit three in one.

Verse 2

Three in one and one in three, God the Son, He died for me.

For my sins His blood He gave, then He rose up from the grave.

Three in one and one in three, God the Son He died for me.

Verse 3

Three in one and one in three, God the Spirit lives in me.

Day by day and hour by hour- Helps me witness by His power.

Three in one and one in three, God the Spirit lives in me.

May the Peace

1. May the peace of God our Heav’nly Father,

and the grace of Christ the risen Son,

And the fellowship of God the Spirit

keep our hearts and minds within His love.

And to Him be praise for His glorious reign,

from the depths of earth to the heights of Heav’n;

We declare the name of the Lamb once slain—

Christ eternal the King of Kings.

2. May this peace which passes understanding,

and this grace which makes us what we are,

And this fellowship of His communion

make us one in spirit and in heart.

And to Him be praise for His glorious reign,

from the depths of earth to the heights of Heav’n;

We declare the name of the Lamb once slain—

Christ eternal the King of Kings.
