MY LORD AND MY GOD - Psalm 59 : 17-19

17 But I will sing of your might;  in the morning I will sing of your love.

 For you have been a fortress to me,  a refuge in time of distress. 

18 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my strong­hold; 

you are a loving  God.

I will sing your praises Lord,

My strength, my shield, my guide,

My God You are my Stronghold,

My Fortress, my Delight.

In times of tribulation,

To You my voice I've raised,

In You I found safe harbor,

You heard each time I prayed.

With just a word You bid the storms,

To cease and they were stilled,

God's solemn vow to live in me,

Through You has been fulfilled. 

I shelter 'neath Your mighty wings,

And laugh just like a child,

Who knows no fear for Love is near,

And in Love’s heart abides.

GOD ALONE - A PSALM OF LONGING

O Lord You are my God,

It's You I long for.

O Lord You are my God,

You're all I need.

Fill me, Lord, I pray, 

With Your sweet Presence.

Come fill my life anew,

With light and grace.

It's You alone who are,

My cup and portion.

You alone can slake

The thirst within.

Call and I will hasten,

To Your Presence

 Imbued by Love,

At last eternally.

SING A NEW SONG (PSALM 98)

Let’s sing to the Lord, sing a new song,
Recalling the wonders He’s done,
His holy arm, the strength of His hand,
Have wrought every victory won.

His righteous justice is tempered with love,
Abounding in all that He does,
Revealing clemency though sinners we be,
Salvation is His gift to us.

His glory and power fill heaven and earth,
To Him all the living belong,
Echo  you nations with jubilant praise,
Make melody, break into song.

Rejoicing and dancing before God our King
Make music with timbrel and harp,
Bring out the lyre, come sound loud the horn,
Make merry and let trumpet blast.

Clap hands every  river, mountain and hill,
Sing out with great joy to our God,
He comes to rule all the peoples on earth,
With justice and mercy for all.
