    For something that will last forever.
    Oh, l delight, I delight to do Your will.

    I want to build with silver and gold
    In my generation.

    What is on Your heart?
    Tell me what to do;
    Let me know Your will

    Lord, thank you that you don't give up on us, thank you that you have never given up on your people. Thank you that our faith is not determined by what we do. You love me and you have saved me. Help me to demonstrate the impact this reality has in my life.

    Thank you Father that you intervened, you took control. We have all sineed and fall short of your glory, yet you chose to save us and pay the price for our sin - thank you - hallelujah

    Father I will not worry about tomorrow or all of its questions
    Father I will just trust you
    And I will be waiting for treasures in heaven
    My heart is with you for there my treasure lies
    My eyes are on you for you are my delight

    (chorus)
    Though I may not wear the garments of princes
    You are my portion you are my portion
    For you clothe me in your righteousness
    You are my portion you are my portion
    Though I may not sit at the table of kings
    You are my portion you are my portion
    For you feed me from the abundance of your hand
    You are my portion you are my portion Lord

    (bridge)
    My everything you meet my every need
    You cover me and make me be at peace

    This weeks study of Romans from 1:1 to 3:20 has been difficult. A reminder of my sinful nature - I pray that as I reflect on this I will discern your will Father God, that will cause me to lead a more holy life.

    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.

    Lord I realize that the world, including me, is sinful, yet we as your created world have the ability to do good. In the light of this, your love continues to amaze me.

    Your love is amazing
    Steady and unchanging
    Your love is a mountain
    Firm beneath my feet

    Your love is a mystery
    How you gently lift me
    When I am surrounded
    Your love carries me

    Chorus:
    Hallelujah, hallelujah,
    hallelujah
    Your love makes me sing
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    hallelujah
    Your love makes me sing

    Your love is surprising
    I can feel it rising
    Oh the joy that's glowing
    Deep inside of me

    Everytime I see you
    All your goodness shines through
    I can feel this God song
    Rising up in me

    thank you Father that you can be trusted to turn the world's values upside down, You can do the opposite of what the world expects. It's not by strength that one prevails - this was Hannah's, Mary's and Jesus' expereince, may i learn this lesson

    Not By Might
    Zechariah 4:6

    No not by might,
    Nor even power,
    But by Your Spirit O Lord
    Healer of hearts,
    Binder of wounds,
    Lives that are lost, restore
    Flow through this land,
    'Til every man
    Praises Your name,
    Once more.

    Blessed be your name,
    In the land that is plentiful
    Where your streams of

    When I’m found in the desert place
    Though I walk through the wilderness,
    Blessed be your name

    Every blessing you pour out I’ll
    turn back to praise
    When the darkness closes in Lord, still I will say

    Blessed be the name of the Lord

    Blessed be your name,
    When the road’s marked with suffering
    When there’s pain in the offering,
    Blessed be your name

    Every blessing you pour out I’ll turn back to praise
    When the darkness closes in Lord, still I will say

    Blessed be the name of the Lord

    Blessed be your glorious name

    You give and take away,
    You give and take away
    My heart will choose to say,
    Lord blessed be your name

    Lord, help me avoid tradition and listen to and embrace what Holy Spirit is leading us into. new wine needs new wineskins.

    ONE SHALL TELL ANOTHER,
    And he shall tell his friend,
    Husbands, wives and children
    Shall come following on.
    From house to house in families
    Shall more be gathered in,
    And lights will shine in every street,
    So warm and welcoming.

    Come on in and taste the new wine,
    The wine of the kingdom,
    The wine of the kingdom of God.
    Here is healing and forgiveness,
    The wine of the kingdom,
    The wine of the kingdom of God.

    Compassion of the Father
    Is ready now to flow,
    Through acts of love and mercy
    We must let it show.
    He turns now from His anger
    To show a smiling face,
    And longs that men should stand beneath
    The fountain of His grace.

    He longs to do much more than
    Our faith has yet allowed,
    To thrill us and surprise us
    With His sovereign power.
    Where darkness has been darkest
    The brightest light will shine,
    His invitation comes to us,
    It’s yours and it is mine.

    i really appriciated our Cell meeeting last night, the openness and honesty and sense of community was a real blessing. Lord today i pray that you would help me become closer to you, that i may grow in humility and know that i am fully accepted by you.

    I’M ACCEPTED, I’m forgiven,
    I am fathered by the true and living God.
    I’m accepted, no condemnation,
    I am loved by the true and living God.
    There’s no guilt or fear as I draw near
    To the Saviour and Creator of the world.
    There is joy and peace
    As I release my worship to You, O Lord.

  • 08 jan 08

    thank you Father that you are clearly a loving Father who wants the best for us and wants us to grow in faith and maturity
    FATHER, WE ADORE YOU,
    We are Your children gathered here;
    To be with You is our delight,
    A feast beyond compare.

    Father, in Your presence
    There is such freedom to enjoy.
    We find in You a lasting peace
    That nothing can destroy.

    You are the Fountain of life,
    You are the Fountain of life,
    And as we drink, we are more than satisfied
    By You, O Fountain of life.

    lk 5: 12-16 another reminder that Jesus loves all people. this for me brings a challenge to love those who appear to be unloveable. -wwjd

    God has created a diverse set of humans. thank you. help us as a church reach out to all, especially those on the edges of society and those with mental health issues. thank you Jesus for your example.
    lk 4:18
    "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,

    may this be my mission statement

  • 03 jan 08

    not sure why i responded like i did at requests to change/develop worship. thought today is about dealing with opposition - Jesus response was to keep on, lk 4:30 - But He walked right through the crowd and went on His way

  • 02 jan 08

    thank you for your help in helping me resist temptation. today i ask that i would be able to listen to what you are saying through your spirit within and without me.
    From the Northumbria Community...
    Christ, as a light
    illumine and guide me.
    Christ, as a shield
    overshadow me.
    Christ under me;
    Christ over me;
    Christ beside me
    on my left and my right.
    This day be within and without me,
    lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
    Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;
    in the mouth of each who speaks unto me.
    This day be within and without me,
    lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
    Christ as a light;
    Christ as a shield;
    Christ beside me
    on my left and my right.
