Be not afraid

Be not afraid! I go before you always.
Come, follow me and I will give you rest.

You shall cross the barren desert,
But you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words in foreign lands
And they will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.

If you pass through raging waters
In the sea you shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
You shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell
And death is at your side,
Know that I am with you through it all!

Blessed are the poor,
For the kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
For one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked ones insult
And hate you all because of Me,
Blessed, blessed are you!

Softly and tenderly

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me.
See on the portals He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.

Come home, come home,
You who are weary come home,
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home.

Why should we delay when Jesus is pleading?
Pleading for you and for me.
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies?
Mercies for you and for me.

Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me.
Though we have sinned he has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.

Yes, I shall arise and return to my Father

Yes, I shall arise and return to my Father,
I will say: "I have sinned, I have sinned”.

Father, against you alone have I sinned.
How can I ever be called your child?
Treat me as one of your servants, O Lord,
Accept me as a slave.

Thank you, my Father, for giving me light,
Courage and strength to return to you.
Give me again, Lord, the joy of your help,
And make me walk aright.

Praise to you, Father: you've shown me your love.
Love that has raised me from death to life,
Filling my heart with the Spirit of Christ
To be your child once more.

Like the woman at the well

Like the woman at the well, I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy.
And then I heard my Savior speaking
“Draw from My well that never shall run dry.”

Fill my cup, Lord; I lift it up Lord;
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul.
Bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more.
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole.

There are millions in this world who are craving
The pleasure earthly things afford.
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.

So my brother if the things this world gave you
Leave hunger that won’t pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you
If you kneel to Him and humbly pray.

Father forgive them

Father, forgive them.
They know not what they do. [2]

They see me lying in the street
And never lend a hand;
The night goes by while they're asleep,
Yet I'm still in the sand;
And I cry each night for their blinded eyes,
That never, never seem to see.

They call me friend when they're in need,
I know it's all a sham,
For when my sufferings make me weep,
They simply wash their hands
And I'm left alone in despair to moan;
They'll never, never understand.

We crucified your Son in shame,
His message we ignored;
Though time has passed, we're still the same,
Indifferent as before;
And he dies each day in our hearts of clay;
O Father, teach us how to love.

Jesus, you’re the sweetest name of all

Jesus, you’re the sweetest name of all
Jesus, you always hear me when I call
Oh, Jesus, You pick me up each time I fall
You're the sweetest, the sweetest name of all.

Jesus, how I love to praise your name
Jesus, you're still the first, the last, the same
Oh, Jesus, You died and took away my shame
You're the sweetest, the sweetest name of all.

Jesus, you’re the soon and coming King
Jesus, we need the love that you can bring
Oh, Jesus, we lift our voices up and sing
You're the sweetest, the sweetest name of all.

Have Thine own way, Lord

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mould me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Cleanse me and make me, whiter than snow.
As in Thy presence now I bend low.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o’er my being absolute sway!
Filled with Thy Spirit, Lord, may I see,
Christ only, always, living in me.

When the sun has set, and the night is on

When the sun has set, and the night is on
When the darkness falls and the light has gone
You be my light O Lord and lead me on (2)

When I’m growing weak and my steps are slow
When the hopes are bleak and I’ve strength no more
You be my strength O Lord and lead me on (2)

When my eyes grow dim and I cannot see
When a chance is slim of a friend for me,
You be my friend, O Lord, and lead me on (2)

When I cannot talk for there's no one here
And I cannot walk through the end is near
You be my rest, O Lord, and lead me on (2)

Faith in God

Faith in God can move the mountains,
Trust in Him can calm the sea.
He's my fortress, He's my stronghold,
He's the rock who rescues me.

Lord, you are my refuge
Never let me be ashamed.
In your justice, rescue me,
Turn to me and hear my prayer.

You are my salvation
From oppression set me free.
Ever since my childhood,
You have been my only hope.

Bitter troubles burden me,
But you fill me with new life.
From the grave you raise me up,
So my tongue will sing your praise.

Deep within

Deep within my sins accuse me;
Lord, before you could I stand?
Be attentive to my pleading,
Let your love withhold your hand;
For with you is grace & pardon,
You forgive us when we err,
Now for this we come to thank you
And your holy name revere.

For the Lord my soul is waiting,
As I listen to his word.
As the watchman longs for daybreak,
So I'm longing for the Lord,
Since in him I find redemption,
Now I come to seek his face,
Even though my sins are many,
All my trust in him I place.

The King of glory comes

The King of glory comes, the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him, lift up your voices.

Who is the King of glory; how shall we call him?
He is Emmanuel, the promised of ages.

In all of Galilee, in city or village,
He goes among his people curing their illness.

Sing then of David’s Son, our Savior and brother;
In all of Galilee was never another.

He gave his life for us, the pledge of salvation,
He took upon himself the sins of the nation.

He conquered sin and death; he truly has risen,
And he will share with us his heavenly vision.

Christ became obedient

Glory and praise to you, O Lord Jesus Christ (2)

Christ became obedient unto death on the cross for us.

Therefore, God exalted Him to such a height, giving Him a name above every other name.

Glory and praise to you, O Lord Jesus Christ

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Coming home/I've wandered far away

I've wandered far away from God,
Now I'm coming home;
The paths of sin too long I've trod,
Lord, I'm coming home.

Coming home, coming home, 
Nevermore to roam, 
Open wide Thine arms of love, 
Lord, I'm coming home.

I've wasted many precious years,
Now I'm coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears,
Lord, I'm coming home.

I've tired of sin and straying, Lord,
Now I'm coming home;
I'll trust Thy love, believe Thy word,
Lord, I'm coming home.

My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
Now I'm coming home;
My strength renew, my hope restore,
Lord, I'm coming home.

Hosea/Come back to me with all your heart

Come back to me with all your heart.
Don’t let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, though straight and tall;
so must we to others call.

Long have I waited for your coming home to me
and living deeply our new life.

The wilderness will lead you

To your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice

With tenderness you shall know.

You shall sleep secure with peace;
Faithfulness will be your joy.

Help us to live as your children

Help us to live as your children,
O give us your courage to say: Amen! (2)

When in the darkness we stumble, when we are lacking in faith Chorus.

When we are hard pressed with suffering, Love seems so far, far away  Chorus.

When life to us seems a burden, When all our work is in vain. Chorus.

Help us to live our commitment, help us to answer God’s call. Chorus.

His were the wounds

His were the wounds that healed us (3)
Behold the lamb of God

He did no wrong, he told no lie,
He was silent under the rod;
They cursed him and he kept his peace,
He put his trust in his God.

His body bore the weight of sin
As he hung and died on the cross;
That we, like him, should die to sin,
And live as he did for God.

He suffered so that we should walk
On the very road that he trod;
All we like sheep had gone astray,
Till he led us back to God.

How much longer will you hide yourself from me?

How much longer will you hide yourself from me?
How long must I face this struggle?
How much longer will this sorrow fill my heart?
How long must I fight this battle?

Look at me, O Lord, and answer.
Give me back my strength, don't let me die.
Never let my foes begin to laugh at me.
Never let my sins just weigh me down.

I will lean on you, O Lord my God.
I will sing for joy because you'll save me.
I rely on love, your never changing love.
You have been so good so I'll rejoice.

Let all that is within me

Let all that is within me, cry holy (2)
Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb that was slain.

Whatsoever you do to the least of my people

Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,
that you do unto me.

When I was hungry, you gave me to eat;
When I was thirsty, you gave me to drink.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When I was weary, you helped me find rest;
When I was anxious, you calmed all my fears.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When I was homeless, you opened your door;
When I was naked, you gave me your coat.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When I was little, you taught me to read;
when I was lonely, you gave me your love.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When in a prison, you came to my cell;
When on a sickbed, you cared for my needs.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

In a strange country, you made me at home;
seeking employment, you found me a job.
Now enter into the home of my Father.

When I was laughed at, you stood by my side;
When I was happy, you shared in my joy.
Now enter into the home of my Father.
