Fullness of Joy

2021-07-28 Hymns No comments

Facing His darkest hour,
what did Jesus long to
share with His disciples?
The fullness of His joy.
This hymn helps us
understand and receive that joy.
Set to a familiar tune.

Recording
Printed Music

Fullness of joy in You, my Father,
I find in Christ Your Son,
Sharing Your Spirit’s breath, uniting
Our lives to breathe as one.
I share His love, His faith, His peace,
His deep and humble prayer,
Strong in His perfect weakness, trusting
Our Father’s tender care.

How can Your path of tender care be
So rough and dark and steep?
How can Your loving wisdom lead us
To groan and grieve and weep?
My Lord has walked this road before,
And I am not alone.
Fullness of joy is mine in Jesus,
And He will lead me home.

Sharing His life in You, my Father,
I share His fuller joy,
Joy beyond words, aglow with glory
No sorrow can destroy.
This lesson Christ in love would teach
And prove profoundly true:
Father, Your goal and greatest gift is
The joy of knowing You.

Psalm 54

2021-07-14 Hymns No comments

This hymn assures us that
God’s Spirit keeps us through temptation
as we rely on Him.

Recording
Printed Music

Lord, how I’ll meet the enemy
I cannot know today,
As small allurements whispering
Or mountains in the way.
But Jesus breathes within me and
Will help me to obey,
Seeing You,
Trusting You,
Father, always, only You!

Discouragement, distraction, or
The heat of strong desire
Would turn my eyes toward lesser things
To fear or to admire.
But keep me face-to-face with You,
O Holy Wind and Fire,
Seeing You,
Trusting You,
Father, always, only You!

Lord, draw me every moment with
The light of all You are,
For even in the darkness shines
The Bright and Morning Star.
Right now I sing my joy in You
Though dawn may seem so far,
Seeing You,
Trusting You,
Father, always, only You!

A hymn of total commitment

Recording
Printed Music

I place in Your hands, Holy Father,
My love and my life.
Your will is my joy and my purpose,
Your voice, my delight.
So much is unknown,
But here at Your throne,
Your splendor is all I see.
I’m safe in Your hands, Holy Father,
Through all that will be.

The praise of this world is worth nothing.
I lift up my eyes,
And turning from every distraction,
I press toward the prize:
To fight the good fight,
To finish my course,
To take every step by faith
Till there in the light of Your presence
My joy is Your praise.

Psalm 146

2021-06-23 Hymns No comments

“Psalm 146” expresses both the
depth and
warm-hearted simplicity of
worshiping our glorious God.
Set to a fresh but familiar hymn tune.

Recording
Printed Music

God, my Source, my Father,
Praise, all praise to You,
Praise from all my being,
Praise through all I do,
Praise through all I do.

Human plans are nothing,
Empty as a breath,
Full of proud presumption,
Sure to end in death,
Sure to end in death.

You are all, forever,
Good and just and true.
Mighty God unchanging,
I will trust in You,
I will trust in You.

Health and joy and freedom,
Heaven’s rich reward,
Life’s complete fulfillment –
All in You, my Lord,
All in You, my Lord!

Here is a prayer for
all who feel their deep need for
the living Christ.

Recording

Father, You see our need,
Know our helpless poverty.
You see Your children
So weak apart from You.

Refrain:
Breathe the breath of Christ.
Plant the mind of Christ.
Grow the life and love of Him
Who shares your very heart.
Pour the peace of Christ.
Shine the light of Christ.
Share the holy heart of Christ,
Our Way, Our Truth, Our Life.

Father, remove from me
All the hurtful things You see,
Needless distractions
That draw my heart from You.

Psalm 15

2021-06-09 Hymns, Uncategorized No comments

This ancient Psalm is about
holiness.
Who can stand in His holy presence?
Set to a familiar tune.

Recording
Printed Music

O Holy God, the Lord Most High,
Your greatness fills all time and space.
Who dares approach Your awe-full throne
Or stand before You face-to-face?

The one who talks and walks Your truth,
Whose words and deeds are like Your own,
Who freely gives as You would give
And lives each day to You alone.

But none are pure or right or good
But You Yourself, O Holy One.
Come bow and breathe Your greatest gift:
The Spirit of Your Holy Son.

In Him, our Lord, we simply share
The goodness only You can be,
A holiness that’s rich and real,
That all the world can feel and see.

Psalm 12

2021-06-02 Hymns No comments

In a world filled with lies,
focus on the Word of God,
who always speaks life-giving truth

Recording
Printed Music

Speak Your truth, all-knowing God.
Speak out Your light!
Speak out Your love!
All Your Words are rich and pure.
Speak out Your truth, O God!

Selfish hearts speak selfish words,
Hiding in lies,
Hiding their sin.
All You say is love and light.
Speak out Your truth, O God!

By Your Spirit speak Your Word.
Speak it in us!
Speak it through us!
Through our words, our lives, our love,
Speak out Your truth, O God!

Psalm 113

2021-05-26 Hymns No comments

Our holy, transcendent God
humbles Himself to
see and care about
even our lowliest needs.
Praise God!
How magnificent He is!

Recording
Printed Music

Praise to You, God, from Your servants, Your children!
Praise from our hearts, ever eager to sing.
Glory and honor and joyful thanksgiving
Rise up to You, our Creator and King.
Lord of all, Most High and most humble,
Father, Redeemer, Creator and King!

Ocean of being, its source and its center,
Utter magnificence no mind can know,
Holy, almighty, eternal, exalted –
Even the heavens are so far below.
Lord of all, Most High and most humble,
We are Your creatures and so far below.

Yet in Your love You reach down to the weakest –
Those without honor, the sick and the small.
To all the helpless, the lepers, the lonely,
Fully and freely You pour out Your all.
Lord of all, Most High and most humble,
Open our hearts as You pour out Your all.
