A Child's Evening Prayer
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ere on my bed my limbs I lay,
God grant me grace my prayers to say:
O God! preserve my mother dear
In strength and health for many a year;
And , o! preserve my father too,
And may I pay him reverence due;
And may I my best thoughts employ
To be my parent's hope and joy;
And O! preserve my brothers both
From evil doings and from sloth,
And may we always love each other
Our friends, our father, and our mother:
And still, O Lord, to me impart
An innocent and grateful heart,
That after my great sleep I may
Awake to thy eternal day! Amen.

Lord I Lift Your Name on High
Written by Rick Founds
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lord, I love to sing your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us
You came from heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high
I Love You Lord
I love you, Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
O my soul rejoice
Take joy, my King
In what you hear
Let me be a sweet, sweet sound, in your ear
I love you, Lord
And I give my life
To worship You
Under pain and strife
Take joy my King
In what you see
May I be a sweet sacrifice unto Thee
As the Deer Panteth for the Water
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
You're my friend and You are my brother
Even though You are a King
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything.
You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
I want You more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
In the Garden
I came to the garden alone
While the dew was still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
(Chorus:)
And He walks with me,
And He talks with me,
And He tells me I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of his voice
Is so sweet, the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is singing
(Chorus:)
I'd stay in the garden with Him,
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go, through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
(Chorus:)
How Great Thou Art
Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed
Chorus:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.
(Chorus)
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
(Chorus)
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"
(Chorus)
Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring.
Simple to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die!
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I sour to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Knowing You
All I once hold dear, built my life upon,
All this world reveres and wars to own;
All I once thought gain I have counted loss,
Spent and worthless now compared to this.
Chorus:
Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You
There is no greater thing.
You are my all, You are the best,
You are my joy, my righteousness,
And I love You Lord
Now my heart's desire is to know You more,
To be found in You and known as Yours,
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All surpassing gift of righteousness
(Chorus)
Oh to know the power of Your risen life,
And to know You in Your sufferings;
To become like You in Your death, my Lord,
So with You to live and never die
(Chorus)
I know He rescued my soul...
His blood covered my sin...
I believe... I believe...
My shame He's taken away...
My pain is healed by His name...
I believe... I believe...
My Lord has conquered the grave
My redeemer lives...
My redeemer lives...
My redeemer lives...
My redeemer lives...
You lift my burdens...
I'll rise with You...
I'm dancing on this mountain top
To see Your kingdom come
Sanctuary
Lord, pepare me
To be a sanctuary
Pure and Holy
Tried and True

I'll be a living

He is the Lord of heaven, Lord of earth
He is Lord of all who live
He is Lord above the universe
All praise to Him we give
Hallelujah to the King of Kings
Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to the Lord of lords,
Who is the great "I AM"
He Has Made Me Glad

You Are Worthy of My Praise
I will give You all my worship
I will give You all my praise
You alone I long to worship
You alone are worthy of my praise
And I will worship You
With all of my heart
And I will praise You
With all of my strength
And I will seek You
All of my days
And I will follow
Follow all of Your ways
I will bow down
And hail You as King
And I will serve You
I'll give You everything
And I will lift up
My eyes to Your throne
And I will trust You
I will trust You alone
When I Look Into Your Holiness
When I look into Your holiness,
When I gaze into Your loveliness,
When all things that surround
Become shadows in the light of You.
When I found the joy of reaching Your heart
When Your will becomes enthroned in Your love
When all things that surround
Become shadows in the light of You.
I worship You, I worship You
The reason I live is to worship You.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilage to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious saviour, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
Do thy friends forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and sheild thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.
Thy Word
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Still You're there right beside me
Nothing will I fear, as long as you are near
Please be near me to the end
I will not forget your love for me
And yet, my heart forever is wandering
Jesus be my guide, and hold me to your side
And I will love you til the end.

And those who linger on this river's shore

Oh Lord, You're BeautifulWritten by: Keith Green
Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
And when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me
Oh Lord, please light the fire
That once burned bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first love
That burns with holy fear
I want to take Your word and shine it all around
But help me first just to live it Lord
And when I'm doing fine
Help me to never seek the crown
For my reward is giving praise to you
