CHORUS
Praise the Lord, O my soul
Praise him all my days
Praise him with my every breath
All glory to his name
v1 Do not trust in earthly power
Mortal men who cannot save
For their strength will soon depart
And like the grass they fade away
v2 Rather we shall hope in God
O how blessed to know his grace
Who made earth and sky above
Whose faithfulness shall never fail
CHORUS
v3 He gives justice for the poor
To the hungry brings relief
Opens up the blinded eyes
And he will set the captives free
v4 He restores the weary soul
Yet defeats all wickedness
Crowns the widow with his love
A Father to the fatherless
CHORUS
He has come to walk with us
Making known the heart of God
Christ our life our only hope
And he shall reign forevermore
CHORUS

The Lord’s my light - I shall not fear
The Lord is my salvation
My tower of strength; my God is near
In every situation
Though enemies on every side
And armies rise against me
I have a stronghold for my life:
My saviour Christ is with me
One thing I ask, and I would seek
To gaze upon his beauty
To dwell with God and never leave
And see him in his glory
He hides me in his holy tent
When troubles rise around me
Here on this rock I stand secure:
My saviour Christ is with me
Give ear O Lord, and hear my cry
Pour out your grace and mercy
I seek your face with all my heart
Don’t turn your goodness from me
O God my help, forsake my not
When others turn against me
But you O Lord preserve my life
My saviour Christ is with me
Teach me your way O Lord my God
Make level paths before me
My enemies with lying tongues
Do violence against me
I’ll see the goodness of the Lord
Each day that I am living
Be strong my soul and wait for God
My saviour Christ is with me

God My Helper (Ps 54)
02:45
|
|
||
|
God my helper, come to save me
By your name, preserve my life
Hear prayer, Lord, hear my groaning
Vindicate me by your might
Strangers rise to come against me
Ruthless men who seek my life
They have turned from you to evil
But the Lord is by my side
God my helper, you are with me
You sustain my weary life
You bring judgement on all evil
Put an end to every strife
All my praise to you I’ll offer
Give you thanks, for you are good
You deliver me from trouble
And I triumph through your blood

Those Who Wait

|

|
Those who wait on the Lord
Will renew their strength
They will rise on eagles wings
They will run and not grow weary
They will walk and not be faint
I will wait, I will wait for the Lord
(repeat v1)
The steadfast love
Of the Lord never ends
His mercies will endure
They are new every morning
They arise like the dawn
How great is his faithfulness
(repeat v1)

V1
Lord have mercy on this sinner
For the sake of your great love
Wash away my great transgression
All the wrongs that I have done
V2
For the words that I have spoken
For the thoughts I try to hide
For the promises I’ve broken
For my weakness, for my pride
Ch 1
Lord have mercy! Lord have mercy!
How I need your grace to know
Though my sins are red as scarlet
Wash them whiter than the snow
V3
Praise to God who heard my groaning
Praise to Christ who died for me
He was slain to win my pardon
Shed his blood to make me clean
Ch2
It is finished! It is finished!
End of guilt and fear and shame!
He has loved me, made me holy:
Brightest treasure of his grace
Ch3
It is finished! It is finished!
Oh what joy those words afford
None can shake me, nor accuse me
I am hid with Christ in God.

Mighty (Ps 93)

Lord you reign in glorious light
Robed in majesty
You uphold the earth and sky
From your ageless throne
Your decrees are ever sure
Age to age they stand
Holiness adorns your courts
Lord, for endless days
Ch:
Ruler of the ocean deep
You command the raging seas
Lord you are mighty
Lord you are mighty
Bridge:
Storms may come and floods may rise
Be our refuge Lord most high

O Lord, how long? How long will you forget me?
O Lord, how long will you conceal your face?
O Lord, how long will sorrows rise within me
And will my heart know anguish all the day?
O Lord, how long? Give ear to hear my cry
I look to you, or Lord I surely die
Light up my eyes when all around is darkness
Turn back your face, and hear me when I call
Consider me, incline your ear and answer
Or will my foes rejoice to see my fall
Light up my eyes! For you O Lord I wait
I look to you, O Lord do not delay
But I will trust in your unfailing mercy
I will delight in your unending grace
My soul will sing as I await the morning
I will rejoice, though sorrow fills my days
Yes I will trust in you my gracious Lord
You have been good, and shall be evermore
|

Lord, make haste to save me
God, do not delay!
May my many foes be
Turned away in shame
Bring them to dishonour:
Those who seek my hurt
Turn away their scorn and
Cruel and angry words
May all those who seek you
Sing for joy always
Praising your salvation
Saying ‘God is Great!’
I am poor and needy
Hasten to my aid
God my strong deliv’rer
Lord, do not delay!
Glory to the Father
Glory to the Son
Glory to the Spirit
Blessed three in one!
As in the beginning,
Now and evermore.
O make haste to save me
Blessed glorious Lord

Carry Us (Ps 28)
05:58

|

|
To you I call O Lord my rock
Do not be deaf to me
For if I do not hear your voice
I’ll sink into the grave
Oh hear my cry for mercy
I call to you for aid
I lift my hands towards you Lord
Towards your dwelling place
Chorus:
You are our fortress, Lord
Mighty and strong to save
You are our shepherd
Carry us in your arms
Carry us in your arms
Carry us in your arms O Lord
Don’t treat me like your enemies
Who turn to evil deeds
Who harbour malice in their hearts
But with their lips speak peace
Bring back on them what they deserve
Let no sin go unpaid
Yet I myself have unclean hands
I fall upon your grace
Chorus
All praise to God who heard my cry
For grace in time of need
The Lord’s my strength and mighty shield
My soul will trust in him
My heart exalts and sings for joy
I will give thanks to him
He rules with justice and with grace
Through his anointed king
Chorus
