Christ The Sure And Steady Anchor

Christ the sure and steady anchor

In the fury of the storm

When the winds of doubt blow through me

And my sails have all been torn

 

In the suffering in the sorrow

When my sinking hopes are few

I will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

Christ the sure and steady anchor

While the tempest rages on

When temptation claims the battle

And it seems the night has won

Deeper still then goes the anchor

Though I justly stand accused

I will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

Christ the sure and steady anchor

Through the floods of unbelief

Hopeless somehow O my soul now

Lift your eyes to Calvary

This my ballast of assurance

See His love forever proved

I will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

Christ the sure and steady anchor

As we face the wave of death

When these trials give way to glory

As we draw our final breath

We will cross that great horizon

Clouds behind and life secured

And the calm will be the better

For the storms that we endured

Christ the shore of our salvation

Ever faithful ever true

We will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

 

Living Water

Are you thirsty, are you empty

Come and drink these living waters

Tired and broken, peace unspoken

Rest beside these living waters

 

Christ is calling, find refreshing

At the cross of living waters

Lay your life down, all the old gone

Rise up in these living waters

There's a river that flows, with mercy and love

Bringing joy to the city of our God

There our hope is secure, do not fear anymore

Praise the Lord of living waters

Spirit moving, mercy washing

Healing in these living waters

Lead your children, to the shoreline

Life is in these living waters

Are you thirsty, are you empty

Come and drink these living waters

Love forgiveness, vast and boundless

Christ He is our living waters

 

Speak O Lord

Speak O Lord as we come to You

To receive the food of Your holy word

Take Your truth plant it deep in us

Shape and fashion us in Your likeness

That the light of Christ might be seen today

In our acts of love and our deeds of faith

Speak O Lord and fulfill in us

All Your purposes for Your glory

Teach us Lord full obedience

Holy reverence true humility

Test our thoughts and our attitudes

In the radiance of Your purity

Cause our faith to rise, cause our eyes to see

Your majestic love and authority

Words of power that can never fail

Let their truth prevail over unbelief

Speak O Lord and renew our minds

Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us

Truths unchanged from the dawn of time

That will echo down through eternity

And by grace we'll stand on Your promise

And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us

Speak O Lord till Your church is built

And the earth is filled with Your glory

Oh Lord, our Lord

Oh, how awesome are Your ways

How majestic is Your name in all the earth

Oh Lord, our Lord

May we see Your kingdom come

Father, may Your will be done in all the earth

 

Psalm 90

When the sun comes up, satisfy us

Before the day has passed us by

Before our hearts forget all Your goodness

Satisfy us with Your love

You have been our dwelling place

Oh everlasting God

Before You formed the mountain tops

You were before it all

And soon our lives turn back to dust

Come Thou fount of every blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace

Streams of mercy never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise

The wrath of God poured out for sin

On Jesus crucified

Consider Him our hiding place

Our shelter is alive

Because He lived and died for us

So teach my song to rise to You

When temptation comes my way

And when I cannot stand, I'll fall on You

Jesus, You're my hope and stay

Teach us Lord to number our days on earth

Give us more wisdom in the secret heart

As You display amazing grace

Through Jesus Christ for us

 

O Church Arise

O Church arise and put your armour on

Hear the call of Christ our Captain

For now the weak can say that they are strong

In the strength that God has given

With shield of faith and belt of Truth

We’ll stand against the devil’s lies

An army bold whose battle cry is love

Reaching out to those in darkness

Our call to war to love the captive soul

But to rage against the captor

And with the sword that makes the wounded whole

We will fight with faith and valor

When faced with trials on ev'ry side

We know the outcome is secure

And Christ will have the prize for which He died

An inheritance of nations

Arise shine for your Light has come

Arise shine for the risen Son

Lift your eyes we are His radiant bride

Arise O Church arise

Come see the cross where love and mercy meet

As the Son of God is stricken

Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet

For the Conqueror has risen

And as the stone is rolled away

And Christ emerges from his grave

This victory march continues 'til the day

Every eye and heart shall see Him

So Spirit come put strength in every stride

Give us grace for every hurdle

That we may run with faith to win the prize

Of a servant good and faithful

As saints of old still line the way

Retelling triumphs of His grace

We hear their calls and hunger for the day

When with Christ we stand in Glory

 

Before The Throne Of God Above

Before the throne of God above

I have a strong and perfect plea

A great High Priest whose name is Love

Who ever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on His hands

My name is written on His heart

I know that while in heav'n He stands

No tongue can bid me thence depart

No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair

And tells me of the guilt within

Upward I look and see Him there

Who made an end to all my sin

Because the sinless Saviour died

My sinful soul is counted free

For God the Just is satisfied

To look on Him and pardon me

To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there the risen Lamb

My perfect spotless righteousness

The great unchangeable I Am

The King of glory and of grace

One with Himself I cannot die

My soul is purchased with His blood

My life is hid with Christ on high

With Christ my Saviour and my God

 

At The Table

I went the waves, wayward wings

In a world of trouble and sin

Walked along a crooked mile

Behind a million rank and file

Forgot where I came from

Somewhere back when I was young

I was a good man's child

I lost some nameless things

My innocence flew away from me

She had to hide her face from my desire

To embrace forbidden fire

But at night I dream

She's singing over me

Oh, oh, my child

Come on home, home to me

And I will hold you in my arms

And joyful be

There will always, always be

A place for you at my table

Return to me

Wondering where I might begin

Hear a voice upon the wind

She's singing faint but singing true

Son, there ain't nothing you can do

But listen close and follow me

I'll take you where you're meant to be

Just don't lose faith

So I put my hand upon the plow

Wipe the sweat up from my brow

Plant the good seed along the way

As I look forward to the day

When at last I see

My Father run to me

Singing oh, my child

 

The Light Of Christmas Morn

The winds of chill December sound

The farewell of the year

And evening shadows gather 'round

And cloud the soul with fear

But rest you well good Christian men

Nor be of heart forlorn

December's darkness brings again

The light of Christmas morn

'Twas when the world was waxing old

And night on Bethlehem lay

The shepherds saw the heav'ns unfold

A light beyond the day

Such glory ne'er had visited

A world with sin outworn

But yet more glorious light is shed

On happy Christmas morn

The welcome snow each Christmastide

Falls shining from the skies

On village paths and uplands wide

All holy white, it lies

It crowns with pearl, the oaks and pines

And glitters on the thorn

But purer still the light that shines

On gladsome Christmas morn

The shepherds poor, how blest were they

The angel song to hear

In manger cradle, as he lay

To greet the Saviour dear

The Lord of heav'n's eternal height

For us a babe was born

And He, the very light of light

Shone forth that Christmas morn

The shepherds poor, how blest were they

The angel song to hear

In manger cradle, as he lay

To greet the Saviour dear

The Lord of heav'n's eternal height

For us a babe was born

And He, the very light of light

Shone forth that Christmas morn

And o'er the child a guiding star

Shall lead us into peace

And still in souls, that childlike are

His guardian love shall be

Oh then rejoice, good Christian men

Nor be of heart forlorn

For unto you, in Bethlehem

The Son of God is born

 

Behold

In the dark,

We wander a road.

Streetlights and sounds,

The forest swallows. 

 

What is out there?

Do you know?

The dance of fireflies

And moonglow.

Behold.

Before the dawn,

I woke in fear.

A Queen awaits.

Our time is near. 

 

What is out there?

Do you know?

Prepare to enter

And behold.

Behold.
