New Every Morning

On your brightest days and darkest seasons

God’s compassions have never once failed

Though life has its ways and doesn’t give reasons

God’s mercy has ever prevailed

Though we may wrestle with concerns of the day

New mercies are being prepared

God’s sufficient grace will show us the way

Though we know not from what we’ve been spared

They come without warning

They’re new every morning

So each day, we can start a new

As each day is aborning 

They are new every morning

God’s mercies are faithful and true

His faithfulness will bring us through

We are never sustained by our own strength

But by unfailing compassion, and Grace

We may know all its wonders one day at length

But there’s Mystery, now in this place

God’s timing is perfect. His Wisdom is true.

New mercies were planned for this day

Just in time, just enough, they come anew

God’s Patience and Grace make a way

Bridge: 

Weeping may last and last for the night

In the morning joy comes from above

It dawns afresh with the morning light

Abounding from God’s steadfast love

They come without warning

They’re new every morning

So each day, we can start anew

As each day is aborning 

They are new every morning

God’s mercies are faithful and true

His faithfulness will bring us through

The Greatness of the Lord

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised

Ascribe to Him Holy Fear

Declare His glory and marvelous deeds

Now to His temple He has drawn near

Worthy of honor, worthy of praise

Who spoke and behold there was light

Give Glory and blessing for His wondrous ways

His wisdom and power and might

Proclaim His Glory, His Goodness proclaim

Ascribe the honor due to His Name

Declare His righteousness, make great His fame

His mercies are new evermore

Laud the Greatness of the Lord

There is none like Him He reigns alone

None other speaks reality

Teach every soul that none other is known

Who holds the keys to eternity

Proclaim His Glory, His Goodness proclaim

Ascribe the honor due to His Name

Declare His righteousness, make great His fame

His mercies are new evermore

Laud the Greatness of the Lord

In Spirit and in Truth

Father,  we praise You, For You are Love and Light

We would now embrace You, Hold us by thy might

We come before you singing we come to you in prayer

Our true worship bringing  as we rest in Your care

We your people unite your glories to exalt

Here by faith and not by sight we live as light and salt

 Living in your presence we are made complete

In holiness and reverence before your mercy seat

In spirit and truth we worship you

On your glory we would gaze

You are faithful you are true

And worthy of all praise 

We come in adoration your glories to confess

You are our salvation you are our righteousness 

We come in thanksgiving for all that you provide

In your presence living, the life that you’ve supplied 

In spirit and truth we worship you

On your glory we would gaze

You are faithful you are true

And worthy of all praise 

Hallowed be your great name, praised in all the earth

May it be our great aim to declare your great worth

Lord have mercy on us, keep us by your grace

In your goodness we trust, as we run our race.

Monarch over all things may your kingdom come

Fit us to be offerings transformed when life is done

Bring us to your throneroom, help us apprehend

The beauty of our bridegroom, and joy that never ends

Rise Up and Bless the Lord

Oh you souls by sorrow bent

Give rise to your heart’s lament

Then to your very soul preach at last

Soul, why are you so downcast?

Rise up, rise up and bless the Lord

Rise up and greet the day

To languish you cannot afford

Rise up rejoice and obey

Rise up, rise up and sing His praise

Rise up and hallow His name

Your spirit by His Spirit  raised

Make praise your endless aim

Rise up and bless His name

We live and move and walk by grace

All we who live in Him by faith

He shall overcome our woes 

For Christ our Lord arose

Rise up, rise up and bless the Lord

Rise up and shout His praise

Arise  now with your strength restored

Rejoice for endless days

Rise up and shout His praise!

Walk On

 

Set the course, let the lines all unveil,

They say if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Yet I find myself often going without knowing where to go,

When great adventures seem too great, daunting doubts begin to grow.

 

I pray thee, Lord, look down as I am upon my knees,

I need to walk on water through these shifting, heavy seas.

I’ll walk on…I offer up my own agenda tonight,

As the next chapter of my life you prepare to write.

When the fog rolls in and the path ahead is gray,

I long to hear a voice behind me clearly say:

"This is the way, walk in it, do not be afraid."

I’ll walk on the firm foundation that your promises have made.

 

Too easily satisfied with the comfort of the shore,

Yet prone to a wandering heart that looks for something more.

I try to grip my destiny, to hold it tightly in my hands,

But I must let it go completely, and follow your plans.

 

Bridge

So I will let go of my hopes and dreams

I will step off the shore and learn what faith means

No longer vexed, no longer bound by what I cannot see,

A voice behind me whispers of the grace that carries me.

This is the way, walk in it, step into the day—

To simply trust and obey… Trust and obey.

 

I pray thee, Lord, look down as I am upon my knees,

I need to walk on water through these shifting, heavy seas.

I’ll walk on… I offer up my own agenda tonight,

As the next chapter of my life you prepare to write.

When the fog rolls in and the path ahead is gray,

I long to hear a voice behind me clearly say:

"This is the way, walk in it, do not be afraid."

I’ll walk on the firm foundation that your promises have made

What’s Next?

I am standing at the shoreline, waiting for a word,

Listening so closely for a whisper yet unheard.

A quiet restlessness is stirring up my soul,

Deep inside I’m wondering: what’s the next goal?

What’s next? Set the course, let the journey all unveil,

They say if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Yet I find myself often going without knowing where to go,

When great adventures seem too great, and daunting doubts begin to grow.

It’s more than I know but let’s go!

I feel vexed by the silence, caught in anticipation,

Looking to the heavens, seeking illumination.

Am I standing still, or preparing for another quest?

My spirit is eager, though my mind is seeking rest.

As the winds pick up and it’s time to set sail,

Questions abound, yet one persists 

When my courage starts to fail:

I wrestle with the question

I don’t know what the future holds,

But I know who holds the future.

And I long to see it as it unfolds

What’s next? Set the course, let the journey all unveil,

They say if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Yet I find myself often going without knowing where to go,

When great adventures seem too great, and daunting doubts begin to grow.

It’s more than I know but let’s go!

Let’s go, let’s go!
