Abba, Father, hold me now,
Place Thy hand upon my brow;
Keep me safe until the dawn,
Give me strength to carry on.
Father, Savior, hear my prayer;
I place my life into Your care…
Lord, You know what I need most:
Fill me with Thy Holy Ghost.
Abba, Daddy, teach me love,
Send Thy Comfort from above.
Carry me while I feel small,
Help me come back from this fall.
As the deer panteth for, the water
so my soul longeth after Thee.
You alone are my hearts, desire
and I long to worship You.
You alone are my strength my shield.
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart's, desire
and I long to worship You.
You're my Friend and you are my Brother,
even though you are my King
I love You more than any other
so much more than anything.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Your presence, dear Jesus,
renew Your Holy Spirit in me.
Restore unto me, the joy of Thy salvation,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Father, I adore You,
(and I) lay my life before You,
How I love You.
Spirit, I adore You,
(and I) lay my life before You,
How I love You.
Jesus, I adore You,
(and I) lay my life before You,
How I love You.
O what a wonderful, wonderful day -- Day I will never forget!
After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met!
O what a tender, compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart!
Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart!
(Chorus)
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul (filled my soul).
When at the cross the Savior made me whole (made me whole).
My sins were washed away, and my night was turned to day, O,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.
Born of the Spirit with life from above, into God's family devine;
Justified fully thru Calvary's love, O what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was made, when as a sinner I came,
Took of the offer of grace He did proffer, He saved me, O praise His dear name!
Now I've a hope that will surely endure after the passing of time;
I have a future in heaven for sure, there in those mansions sublime!
And it's because of that wonderful day, when at the cross I believed,
Riches eternal and blessings supernal from His precious hand I received.
I’ve got peace like a river in my soul…
I’ve got peace like a river in my soul…
I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got peace like a river,
I’ve got … peace like a river in my soul.
I’ve got joy like a fountain…
I’ve got love like an ocean…
I’ve got peace like a river,
I’ve got joy like a fountain,
I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul…

Let the righteous proclaim (let the righteous proclaim)
Jesus is here (Jesus is here!)
So we welcome You now (so we welcome You now)
Draw us near (Draw us near!)
(Chorus)
By Your Spirit within, we come to enter in,
to glorify and bless Your worthy name!
We enter in (we enter in), "Glory to the King!"
We cry out loud (we cry out loud), "Worthy is the Lamb!"
We lift our voice, praise and majesty!
For these belong to You, our Lord, throughout e-ter-nity.
We behold now Your face (we behold now Your face)
In wonder and awe (in wonder and awe)
Who is like You, oh Lord? (who is like You, oh Lord?)
Holy and True (Holy and True)
Like a father feeds his children, like a shepherd leads his flock,
the Lord will always guide us, show us where to walk
And in times when we have plenty, in times when we have not,
He is our provider and His mercy never stops!
(Chorus)
Like a shepherd, He leads us...like a father, He feeds us...
from the morning to the evening, 'til the sunrise again
Like a shepherd, He leads us...like a father He, feeds us...
He is the great I Am!
As we come into his presence, confessing Him as Lord,
His Holy Spirit leads us, He feeds us by His word.
We're seated at His table, partaking of His love,
children of His kingdom, purchased by His blood.
Lord, I worship You
Lord, I worship You
In Spirit, and in truth.
Lord, I worship You.
Oh Lord, I praise Your name
Lord, I praise Your name
With all my soul I'll proclaim
Lord, I praise Your name.
Oh Lord, You're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek;
And when Your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
I want to take Your Word…and shine it all around…
But first help me just to live it, Lord…
and when I'm doing well, help me to never to seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.
Oh Lord, please light the fire,
that once burned bright and clear.
Replace the lamp of my first love,
that burns with Holy fear!
Oh that Christ may make His home my heart!
Spread Himself in every part! Saturate and life impart!
That with all saints, I may comprehend
all the vast dimensions of my loving Christ.
Father God, forgive me if I groan.
For so long I've been on a plateau.
Now with tears, I bow my knees and pray,
by Your Spirit make my spirit strong today.
As I came this morning, to Your Word,
with no strength to even read a verse,
Yet my plea, is "Lord I do need You!"
How you strengthen me, Your power within to prove.
I myself was losing heart each day
then the Lord brought some saints my own way
I alone could not Thee apprehend,
but with all the saints You now my joy have been.
All this year I've come the church to know,
yet, O Lord, there're things I can't let go.
Yet within me there is an "Amen"
O now joy I never knew in me's flowin'.
(This was written by a friend of mine in college,
but my memory is terrible and I can't
for the life of me remember his name.)
We gotta pray, pray, pray down the power!
Pray, pray, Pray down the power!
Pray, pray, Pray down the power…
Pray down the power in Jesus name!
Well the Lord will do what He said He would
if we'd pray down the power like we know we should
There ain't no thing that the Lord can't do
So let's pray down the power, just me and you!
(optional: start the first verse very slowly,
speed up a bit for each verse,
slow back down for the last)
When the Spirit of the Lord moves in my heart,
I will pray like David prayed.
When the Spirit of the Lord moves in my heart,
I will pray like David prayed.
I will *clap* pray, I will *clap* pray,
I will pray like David prayed…
I will *clap* pray, I will *clap* pray,
I will pray like David prayed.
Repeat with:
I will sing like David sang…
I will dance like David danced…
I will fight like David fought…
I will pray like David prayed.
We praise Thee, O God, for the Son of Thy Love,
For Jesus had died and is now gone above!
(Chorus)
Hallelujah! Thine the GLORY! Hallelujah! Amen!
Hallelujah! Thine the GLORY! Revive us again!
We praise thee, O God, for Thy Spirit of Light,
Who has shown us our Savior, and scattered our night!
All honor and praise, for the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath born all our sins and has cleansed every stain
All glory and praise, to the God of all grace,
Who has brought us, and sought us, and guided our ways.
Revive us again, fill each heart with Thy love,
May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.
Lord I come to You let my heart be changed renewed,
flowing from the grace I've found in You.
Lord I've come to see the weaknesses I see in me
will be washed away by the power of Your love
Hold me close let Your love surround me,
bring me near, draw me to Your side
And as I wait I’ll rise up like an eagle and i will soar with You
Your spirit leads me on in the power of your love!!!
Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
in the midst of the darkness, shining.
Jesus, Light of the World shine upon us,
set us free by the truth You now bring us
Shine on me... Shine on me...
(Chorus)
Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this world with the Father's glory!
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire!
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy,
send forth Your Word, Lord and let there be Light!
Lord, I come to your awesome presence,
from the shadows into Your radiance
By the blood I may enter your brightness;
search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me... Shine on me...
Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this world with the Father's glory!
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire!
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy,
send forth Your Word, Lord and let there be Light!
I've got a river of Life flowing out of me!
Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see!
Opens prison doors sets the captives free!
I've got a river of Life flowing out of me!
Spring up O well! *GOOSH* *GOOSH* *GOOSH* *GOOSH*
And save my soul!
Spring up O well! *GOOSH* *GOOSH* *GOOSH* *GOOSH*
And make me whole!
Spring up O well! *GOOSH* *GOOSH* *GOOSH* *GOOSH*
And give to me, that life abundantly!
There's a sweet, sweet spirit in this place,
and I know that it's the spirit of the Lord;
There are sweet expressions on each face
and I know they feel the presence of the Lord.
(Chorus)
Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet Heavenly Dove,
Stay right here with us Filling us with Your love,
And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise,
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been redeemed
When we shall leave this place.
The Father gave the Son... and the gift goes on...
The Son gave the Spirit... and the gift goes on...
The Spirit gives us life... so we can give the gift of love...
And the gift goes on...
(Repeat)
The gift goes on... And the gift goes on...
And the gift goes on... And the gift goes...
on and on and on... and the gift goes on...
This little light of mine... I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine... I'm gonna let it shine
let it shine let it shine let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel.. NO! I'm gonna let it shine
Hide it under a bushel.. NO! I'm gonna let it shine
let it shine let it shine let it shine.
Won't let satan *whhh* it out... I'm gonna let it shine
Wont' let satan *whhh* it out... I'm gonna let it shine
let it shine let it shine let it shine.
Let it shine til Jesus comes... I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine til Jesus comes... I'm gonna let it shine
let it shine let it shine let it shine.
