Still ~ Reuban Morgan
The scriptural base for it is Psalm 46
v2Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the sea, though it's waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with the surging.
v10 Be still and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the nations
I will be exalted in the heavens.
How wonderful that our God surrounds us with his wings of love.
Like the little ducklings or chicks return to their mother and she protects them, cuddles then warm and safe in her soft feathers, so we too can turn to God knowing he will be there for us.
Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand
When the oceans rise
and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust
Thankyou Lord that you are there for us. That you wrap your loving arms around us. Loving arms that once wrapped the whole world in love as you hung on the cross.
Lord we pray that we will feel you near to us as we face challenges in our lives.
Amen

Just let me say ~ Geoff Bullock
Just let me say how much I Love you
My saviour, my Lord and Friend.
But let me not only say it to you Lord, but to anyone who I am given the chance to share it with.
Just think for one moment how terrible it would be for a friend to turn around to you and say
"But you never told me ... you never shared these things with me, the things that God gives to you, the things that God is to you:
the finest whisper as he gently call my name,
His power and his glory, his spirit's flame,
when he is with you in your deserts (hard times) turning those times into joys,
to know what it is to be completely surrendered to him.
The passion of knowing the endless love you have found in him.
His Grace
His forgivness, to be called his child
And to be able to call him your saviour, your Lord and your Friend.
Father God, give us the courage to speak out, to share you with others, to be prepared for ridicule, for you went through so much more than that for us. let our lives be worthy of you. let others see you in us. Give us courage and opportunity. Amen

Everlasting God
This is a song that expresses the never failing love of God.
The scriptural basis for the song is Isiah 40 v 28 - 31
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
What a terrific verses, full of promises for us his children.
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord.

Jesus is the name we honour
Jesus is the name we honour
To honor means literally to give respect and deserved praise, and so what more fitting person can the term apply to than Jesus, Jesus who sacrificed his perfect self on the cross for us.
We will glorify
We will lift him high
we will give him honour and praise
Because there is no other that is more deserving than him.
Jesus is the name we worship
Like Honour, worship means to recognise the worth.
Jesus is the name we trust.
For he will never let us down (I will never leave you or forsake you)
Jesus is the Fathers Splendour
Jesus is the Fathers Joy
At the baptism of Jesus, heaven was opened and he saw the Spirit of God decending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said "THIS IS MY SON, WHOM I LOVE; WITH HIM I AM WELL PLEASED.. (matthew 3 v 17)
He will return to reign in majesty
and every eye at last shall see
that Jesus is our God.
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. " (matt 24 v 42)

Jesus, All For Jesus ~ Robin Mark
Jesus all for Jesus, a song that talks about committing every area of our lives into his keeping.
All that I am Lord ~ Northumbria Community Trust
All that I am Lord
I place into your hands
All that I do Lord
I place into your hands
Everything I work for
I place into your hands
Everything I hope for
I place into your hands
The troubles that weary me
I place into your hands
The thoughts that disturb me
I place into your hands
Each that I pray for
I place into your hands
Each that I care for
I place into your hands.

Arise My Love ~ Newsong
This amazing song starts so slowly but then unfurls the mystery and amazingness of the reserection of Jesus.
Gods words to his beloved son...
Arise my love, Arise my love,
The grave no longer has a hold on you.
No more deaths sting,
No more suffering arise, Arise
It's the same words that God speaks to each of us when we give ourselves to him.
The fact that Jesus endured so much pain and suffering on the cross for us means that we can rise with him.
Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell; has been defeated.
The grave could not hold the king.

Purify My heart ~ Brian Doerksen
The song purify my heart has been around for several years. The song talks about making my heart clean and making me like pure gold and precious silver.
God can take me, a scruffy lump of metal and place me into a fire and make me into a beautiful object. Fire can be very destructive. We only have to think about the Australian bush fires that so recently ravaged Australia and took lives, homes and livlihoods. But Gods fire is not destructive. It is a fire that produces in us qualities that can be harnessed for him.
The process of turning a log into a beautiful sculpture has the same sort of process. Lumps are chisseled of it is scrapped and then sanded until it is smooth and beautiful.
When we give our lives to God then we too will go through this processing. There are areas in our lives that require chisseling off and sanding. May God challenge us to allow him to sand and chissel those areas of our lives off,so that we can become beautiful objects.
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold and precious silver
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold, pure gold
Refiner’s Fire
My heart’s one desire is to be holy
Set apart for You Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You my master
Ready to do Your will
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within and make me holy
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from my sin, deep within
Refiner’s Fire
My heart’s one desire is to be holy
Set apart for You Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You my master
Ready to do Your will
