Your Servant

I'm your servant

Here I am 

I want to follow your command

I've said goodbye to this world

May it have no hold

I'm leaving it all behind

to follow the crucified

Chorus:

Lift up the cross

Let the sword fall on our soul

So living waters might flow

then His life will be 

filling our hearts abundantly

Changing us deep within

giving us power over sin

Oh to hear His voice

Above all distractions and noise

He reveals our hearts and our need

To surrender our way and let Him lead

There's no room for selfish ambition

No matter the condition

Let us live always to please Him

Even though the way might be dim

Bridge:

I'm your servant

Here I am

May I be a drink offering

poured out for you

May I be pleasing

in your sight

By your grace

You will help me through

Whatever I may face

Burnt Up

Will our lives be built with wood hay or straw?

At the end it will be made evident

If our life's work is burnt up 

Burnt up

Doing only what is relevant 

Enjoying our comforts

It'll be burnt up burnt up

Or will our lives be tried purified

Like gold refined 

Fiery trials temptations 

Hardships afflictions

Will our lives be purified? 

Pure Gold pure gold

Must go through the fire

Pure Gold pure gold 

Our lives must be radiant 

Reflecting the Lord our Lord

These things the world holds dear

Must have no hold no hold

For we are given not a spirit of fear

But of love and power to be bold 

Despite these fiery trials to come out Gold pure gold 

Sanctified set apart — pure gold

Will we live by God's Spirit 

Enduring the tests these trials

When He lives within us

His life will be abundant 

Or will we do many things 

Just to please ourselves n' others

Looking spiritual 

But in the end we'll be shown 

Our life's worth 

Will our lives be burnt up? 

Pure Gold can withstand the heat

Pure Gold

Pure Gold comes not from ourselves 

Pure Gold

True Gold is only what will endure the fire and come out 

pure gold 

only that which originates in God, 

is done in God’s power, 

for God’s glory,

 is eternal. 

All the rest will perish, 

being reduced to ashes 

By fire at judgment seat of Christ

Come Away

A seed was sown into thorny ground

It grew up until thorns choked its life out 

The worries of this world

Must be rooted out

Or all life will be gone 

Chorus:

Come away and be separate 

Touch no unclean thing

Live in reverence and  fear 

All done out of love for Him

Only the Father dear 

Should have His place in our hearts

For we desire to be close to Him

Jesus is calling out now

Come buy from me gold refined 

By fire true and tried 

Come buy from me He's calling

Clothes that you may wear

His righteousness alone

Our own is like dirty rags 

Come buy from me He's calling 

Salve for your eyes so you may see

A revelation from Him

We are blinded by this world

Chorus

I pray the eyes of our hearts 

Will be wide and open

So the ways of this world 

Will be evident within us

Take your sword, O Lord

Root them out

It may hurt, but in faith

We give these thorns 

These things world holds dear

we long to live in reverence in fear

To glorify your great name

Chorus

We trade these thorns for riches   

May we know the hope of your calling 

There is surpassing power 

For all those who believe .  

It's the same mighty power  

The power that rose Jesus from the dead

Raising Him above all rulers and authorities 

Seating Him at the Fathers right hand  

Now we can go to Him in faith

To have Him take this worldliness      

So His mighty power may live in us

Chorus:

He is Able to Save

When Jesus came to live on the earth

He offered up prayers 

He offered up petitions 

With loud crying and tears 

To the only One who can

Only to Him who saves from death

Chorus:
He is able to save completely 

Those who come to God through Him

He is always living now

To intercede 

He is Able to save

Jesus cries were heard because 

With reverence He Submitted

with fear to His Father

Although He was a son

He learned obedience from what he suffered 

Now made perfect He is

The way of eternal salvation

For all who obey 

He is mighty to save us 

          A victorious warrior           

There's no need to be 

discouraged 

He is merciful, loving, so faithful 

He will save us completely 

As we willingly come to Him

Walking in His light 

He shows us our hearts

Our failures  

To show us our need of Him

He is a victorious warrior, 

mighty to save

quietens us in His love

rejoices over us with singing 

2x
Chorus

A Chance to Die

Temptation comes our way

It's been a challenging day
Something appealing
At the moment it may seem right
There’s two paths
Which way should we go
The easy way or the narrow?

A chance to die
take our  cross
no matter the cost
that You might reign not us
Fill us to the uttermost
May You have all the glory

In the spur of the moment
when everything seems to go wrong
it’s easier to complain
than to give thanks and sing a song
But its His will  by His grace
He’ll help us through what’ver we may face

A chance to die
take our  cross
no matter the cost
that You might reign not us
Fill us to the uttermost
May You have all the glory

Disappointments or a loss
What does it matter
His ways are better
He’s ransomed us
Can’t we suffer one hour or two
He delights in us
He’s using this to conform us

Bridge:
Lord we long to live by your Spirit
Fill us up awaken our ears
Help us to hear 
we need your power to obey
Everything you say
Cleanse our hearts from sin
purify us from deep within 
Make us pure before you
For we long to know your ways
to be led by your Spirit 
Thank you oh Father may Your will be done

Encourage One Another

In the last days, men will be

Lovers of pleasure, lovers of self

Rather than lovers of God

Chorus:

So encourage one another

As the days draw near

Challenge one another

In Gods Holy Word

For sin is deceitful

Pray it won't captivate you

Chorus

In the last days, men will be

Divided against each other

Their love will grow cold

Daughter will be, divided against

Her own mother, son against his father

All men will seek their own

Chorus

In the last days, wickedness shall increase

Darkness shall be, throughout the whole land

Yet there will be, a remnant pure

Who will follow Christ as He lived

Loving as He loved

Serving as He served

Rivers of living water will flow

From their innermost beings

Trouble shall increase

Yet he who endures unto the end

Will be saved

Chorus

It is not enough to know it all

It is not enough to go to church

Knowing Christ, obeying Him, loving Him, fearing Him, laying down our lives, living like Christ

It is enough to know Him, to love Him, to fear Him, to lay down our lives for Him bearing fruit for His Name

Chorus

Lord teach me to, to know your ways

I want to love like you have loved us

I want to serve you, because I love you

Help me to, to surrender all

Because I love you, no other reason

((Purify our hearts

Show us your ways oh Lord

Make us more like you

In everything we say - and do 2x))

Fill us with your, Holy Spirit

Oh Lord, help us to love like you

This World is a Frozen Place

This world is a frozen place

Many don’t love here

They don’t know what true love is

They’re all just seeking their own

Hating arguing

They don’t know what they’re doing

Frozen eyes shut tight

They’re all caught under an enticing lie

I once was caught

Until the day that I cried

Chorus

Father open up my eyes

I need your love

God please show me your ways

Help me to be love

Dying to my own will

Taking up my cross

Following wherever you lead

God is love

But many don’t know this

Others refuse to believe

Doing whate’er they please

Making money having fun

Their eyes are frozen shut

They need to know what true love is

Chorus

We must show the world

What true love is

Denying our own will

Taking up our crosses

We must be different

Be a light in this dark world

Maybe they’ll want love

For they’ll know what true love is

Chorus

Written January 2015

Moonless Trust

As I gaze through my window

All I can see is a moonless sea, a moonless sea

I don’t know where to go

Life’s all unclear to me, unclear to me

Chorus

But when I trust in my Lord

He brings me light on myself

I know where I’m wrong now

He shows me where to go

When I trust in HIM and surrender all I am

He gives me life

He gives me power

He helps me overcome (2x)

Now the moonless sea that

Once was so dark now

Shines so Bright, Shines so Bright

The Lord tells me where to go

He leads me

To the light, to the light

Chorus (begin with ‘so’)

Life still gets so hard

I still have lots of troubles

But Grace will come, Grace will come

Only when I’m humble

So now I get down on my knees

And will  to deny

My own will, my own will

I take up my cross and follow the One

Who gave His life for me

And now by His Spirit

I can live like Christ, live like Christ

Thank you, Lord, for answering my call, thank you, Lord, for showing me your ways

For teaching me your paths.

Your ways are perfect

Your ways are life

So I will trust in you

And choose to obey

Chorus

The God of the Impossible

In this life

There's a lot of pain

But I can't complain

No I can't complain

Because...

Chorus 

God is the God of the impossible

Yes God is the God of the impossible

He has a perfect plan and He's workin' it out

He is the God of the impossible

And by His power I can overcome

In this life

It's hard to rejoice always

'cuase things seem to ne'er go my way

But ...

Chorus 

God is the God of the impossible

Yes God is the God of the impossible

He has a perfect plan and He's workin' it out

He is the God of the impossible

And by His power I can overcome

Chorus 

In this life

Many trials pounce around

Pushing me to the ground

But I can't complain

No I can't complain

Because...

Chorus 

In this life

When my heart is broken

And my soul is meltin' 

I have found

The dryness leads me to

Cry out to You

You show me Love

You lead me back to you

Bak to you

Because You are the God of the impossible

Yes You are the God of the impossible

You have a perfect plan and You're workin' it out

You are the God of the impossible

And by You're power I can overcome

Love One Another

Love one another, as I have loved you.

Greater love has no man than this: that he

Lay down his life; lay down his life, for his friends.

This is my command: Love one another.

Chorus:

Greater love has no man than this

that he lay down his life for his friends

(Love never fails 2x)

Love must be sincere, love does no harm

To its neighbour

Therefore love is the fulfilment of the law

This is my command: Love one another.

Chorus

Whoever loves his brother lives in the light,

And there is nothing in him to make him stumble

This is my command: Love one another.

Bridge:

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast.

It is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking

it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs

Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth!

Always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres

(Love never fails 2x)

Chorus and then sing:

As you have heard from the beginning: (Love one another 2x)

Hope

Hope (2x)

For in hope we have been saved 

But hope that is seen is not hope

For who hopes for what he already sees?

But if we hope for what we do not see
With patience we
Eagerly wait, eagerly wait for it

Chorus
Do not quench the Holy Spirit
Instead listen eagerly as He groans in
Hope (2x)

In the same way
The Spirit also helps our weakness
For we do not know how to pray as we should
But the Spirit Himself testifies with
Groanings, groanings too deep for words

Chorus

Do not quench the Holy Spirit
Instead listen eagerly as He groans in
Hope (2x)

And hope does not disappoint
For the love of God has been poured out within our hearts
Through the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit who was given to us

Chorus
Do not quench the Holy Spirit
Instead listen eagerly as He groans in
Hope (2x)

For we have not received a spirit of slavery
Leading to fear again
But we have received a spirit of adoption as sons
By which we cry out
Abba Father!
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are
Children, children of God

Chorus (2x)
Do not quench the Holy Spirit
Instead listen eagerly as He groans in
Hope (2x)

Hope (2x)
