Call to Worship

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 05:13:31 +0000

v.1
Call us to your worship Lord
As we seek your will
Build us in your mercies Lord
Our bodies are your temple

We offer up this sacrifice
May it be pleasing unto you
No more conforming to this world
Transform us Lord, our minds renew

Call us to your worship Lord
As we seek your face
Build us in your mercies lord
Let us be an offering of praise

My Brother, My Sister

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 05:06:12 +0000

v.1
Lord, let me see my brother
The way that you see me
Lord, let me love my sister
The way that you love me

Let your spirit flow
Set this captive free
And break this yoke of slavery

Take this heart of stone
Put in a heart of flesh
And let the Christ light shine in me

v.2
Lord let me treat my brother
The way that you treat me
Lord let me bless my sister
The way that you bless me

Hunger After You

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:59:41 +0000

v.1
Lord make me humble,
Like a broken reed.
Loosen the bonds
Of evil in me.
Let me divide,
My bread with the hungry.
And Lord let me hunger after you.

v.2
Lord, let me share,
My house with the homeless.
And where I see affliction,
Lord, let me satisfy.
Lord let my light,
Rise in the morning.
And Lord let me hunger after you.

(chorus)
You always guide me,
And satisfy me,
You ever strengthen my bones.
You make me like,
A watered garden,
And a never failing spring.
But only when I hunger after you.

My Desire

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:49:55 +0000

Lord I desire to desire You, Lord
Change my heart from within
Lord I desire to desire you, lord
Free me from my sin

Create in me a clean heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit within me
Restore to me the joy of my salvation
Your the breath in all creation
Fill me up with adoration… for You
