Lord, I Name Lift Your on High

Lord, I lift Your name on high Lord, I love to sing Your praises I’m so glad You’re in my life I’m so glad You came to save us.

You came from heaven to earth To show the way From the earth to the cross, My debt to pray From the cross to the grave From the grave to the sky Lord, I lift Your name on high.

All Heaven Declares The Glory of the Risen Lord

All heaven declares The glory of the risen Lord Who can compare With the beauty of the Lord?

Forever He will be The Lamb upon the throne I gladly bow the knee And worship Him alone.

I will proclaim The glory of the risen Lord Who once was slain To reconcile man to God.

Forever You will be The Lamb upon the throne I gladly bow the knee And worship You alone.

As the Deer Pants for the Water

As the deer pants for the water So my soul longs after You alone are my heart’s 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 a king I love you more than any other So much more than anything

I love you more than gold or silver, only you can satisfy. You alone are the real joy giver and the apple of my eye.

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

The Lord’s My Shepherd No. 50

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want He makes me down to lie In pasture green He leadeth me The quiet waters by

My soul He doth restore again And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness E’en for His own name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through Death’s dark vale Yet will I fear no ill For Thou art with me And they rod and staff Me comfort still

My table Thou hast furnishèd In presence of my foes My head Thou dost with oil anoint And my cup overflows

Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me And in God’s house for evermore My dwelling place shall be.

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 promises; And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us. Speak, O Lord, ‘til Your church is built, And the earth is filled with Your glory.
