Here I am to worship  http://youtu.be/ZUh8ltwxB_I

Light of the world you stepped down into darkness,
Opened my eyes let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore you
Hope of a life spent with you.

Chorus:
Here I am to worship.
Here I am to bow down.
Here I am to say that you're my God
You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.


King of all days oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly you came to the earth you created,
All for love's sake became  poor.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge: (X 3)
I'll never know, how much it costs
To see my sin,  upon that cross

Chorus (x2)

Communion: 

Stay Awake – Chris O’Hara


There will be signs upon the sun
The moon and stars will share Earth's agony.
And ev'ry nation will be fearful of the sound:
the ocean's roar, the raging sea

then they will see the Son of Man
riding the clouds with pow'r and glory;
hold up your heads, your liberation is at hand:
your destiny, your destiny...

Refrain:
O stay awake, do not fear the night
The dawn will break with the Saviour's light
Your liberation is at hand:
O stay awake!  O stay awake!

The time is near, we must arise,
no longer living in the dark of night.
So arm yourselves as people living in the way
of truthfulness, integrity,

and hold a dream of days to come
when we will reach God's holy mountain
and change all weapons into instruments of peace

to sow the seed of justice.

824 City of God 

1. Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep!
A new day is dawning for all those who weep.
The people in darkness have seen a great light.
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.

Refrain: Let us build the city of God.
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our Love,
has turned the night into day!

2. We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day.
The One who has loved us has brightened our way.
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be
a light for his people to set their hearts free.

3. (coda) God is light; in him there is no darkness.
Let us walk in his light, his children one and all.

O comfort my people make gentle your words,
proclaim to my city the day of her birth.

4. O city of gladness now lift up your voice,

proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice



Final 986  In the day of the Lord

Refrain
In the day of the Lord, the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day.
All creation will rise to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord!

1. And on that day will justice triumph,
on that day will all be free:
free from want, free from fear, free to live!

2. Then shall the nations throng together
to the mountain of the Lord:
they shall walk in the light of the Lord!

3. And they shall beat their swords to plowshares;
there will be an end to war:
one in peace, one in love, one in God!

4. For Israel shall be delivered,
and the desert lands will bloom.
Say to all, “Do not fear. Here is your God!”

5. And on that day of Christ in glory,
God will wipe away our tears,
and the dead shall rise up from their graves!

6. O give us eyes to see your glory,
give us hearts to understand.

Let our ears hear your voice ‘til you come!
