You Are So Good to Me by Don Chafer
You are so good to me.
You heal my broken heart.
You are my Father in heaven.
You are beautiful my sweet, sweet, song,
I will sing again.
Here is Love – Words by William Rees (19th century); Music by Robert Lowry (1876); Additional chorus by Matt Redman
In Your truth You will direct me
by Your spirit, through Your word
and Your grace my need is meeting
as I trust in You my Lord.
Of Your fullness You are pouring
Your great love on me anew,
without measure, full and boundless
Drawing out my heart to You.
We read Isaiah 30:15 and 18 and a corporate confession by Mike Cosper from The Open Sourcebook.
Help My Unbelief – Words by John Newton with contemporary music by Clint Wells
I know the Lord is nigh,
And would but cannot pray,
For Satan meets me when I try,
And frights my soul away,
And frights my soul away.
Help my unbelief.
My help must come from Thee.
Following a time of silent prayer, we read from Psalm 25:1-5.
Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me by Edward Hopper
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life’s tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal.
Chart and compass come from Thee:
Savior, pilot me.
We heard assurance of God’s sovereign care for us from Isaiah 43:1-3.
The Risen Lamb, The Coming King by Christine Cover and David Cover
Great is the Lord whose worthy of praise
I will sing, I will sing.
He’ll bring justice and peace
to all who believe in the Risen Lamb
the Coming King.
Rock of Ages – Words: Augustus M. Toplady (1776), Contemporary chorus by Page CXVI (2009). Arrangement by Page CXVI and David Wilton
Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling.
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless look to Thee for grace.
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior or I die.
