To be a Christian without Prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing

Be strong and courageous Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Deut 31:6

Before You I kneel, my Master and Maker To offer the work of my hands. For this is the day You’ve given You’re servant; I will rejoice and be glad

For the strength I have to live and breathe; For each skill Your grace has given me; For the needs and opportunities That will glorify You great Name.

Before You I kneel and ask for Your goodness To cover the work of my hands. For patience and peace to shape all my labor, Your grace for thorns in my path.

Flow within me like a living stream, Wear away the stones of pride and greed ‘till Your ways are dwelling deep in me And a harvest of life is grown.

Before You we kneel, Our Master and Maker; Establish the work of our hands. And order our steps to seek first Your kingdom In every small and great task.

May we live the gospel of Your grace, Serve Your purpose in our fleeting days, Then our lives will bring eternal praise And all glory to Your Name.

Nobody knows how weak I am Better than You Nobody sees all of my needs Better than You And nobody has The power to change me To what I was born to be Jesus, be strong in my weakness Empower me

Empower me Like a rushing river flowing to the sea Lord, send Your Holy Spirit Flowing out through me 'Til I'm living as Your child Victorious and free Send the power of Your love Empower me

Nobody's eyes see through my soul Better than You And nobody's love can make me whole No love but Yours And nobody has the power To lift me to reach for eternity Jesus break through all my defences Empower me

Empower me Like a rushing river flowing to the sea Lord, send Your Holy Spirit Flowing out through me 'Til I'm living as Your child Victorious and free Send the power of Your love Empower me

Empower me Like a rushing river flowing to the sea Lord, send Your Holy Spirit Flowing out through me 'Til I'm living as Your child Victorious and free Send the power of Your love Empower me

Jesus Draws Me Ever Nearer

Jesus draw me ever nearer As I labour through the storm.

You have called me to this passage, and I'll follow, though I'm worn.

May this journey bring a blessing, May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing, With Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus guide me through the tempest; Keep my spirit staid and sure.

When the midnight meets the morning, Let me love You even more.

May this journey bring a blessing, May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing, With Your likeness let me wake.

And at the end of this long passage, Let me leave them at Your throne.

May this journey bring a blessing, May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing, With Your likeness let me wake.

So you would come Then Jesus said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 (NIV) So you would come

Before the world began You were on His mind And every tear you cry Is precious in His eyes Because of His great love He gave His only Son And everything was done So you would come

Nothing you can do Could make Him love you more And nothing that you've done Could make Him close the door Because of His great love He gave His only Son Everything was done So you would come

Come to the Father Though your gift is small Broken hearts, broken lives He will take them all The power of the Word The power of His blood Everything was done So you would come

Nothing you can do Could make Him love you more And nothing that you've done Could make Him close the door Because of His great love He gave His only Son Everything was done So you would come

So you would come Come to the Father Though your gift is small Broken hearts, broken lives He will take them all The power of the Word The power of His blood Everything was done So you would come So you would come

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace where there's hatred let me sow love where there is injury, pardon where there is doubt Let me sow faith

where there's quiet despair, hope Where there is darkness Let me sow light where there is sadness, joy Lord make me Your instrument of peace

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace where there's hatred let me sow love where there is injury, pardon where there is doubt Let me sow faith

where there's quiet despair, hope Where there is darkness Let me sow light where there is sadness, joy Lord make me Your instrument of peace

God's Instrument I see the hands that hold God's word  And fold in prayer to seek His will.  I see the feet that walk the path  And offers of praise as from lofty hill. I see the hands that serve Him well,  The ears that seek to hear His call,  The mouth that speaks truth and wisdom,  The busy feet that carry the message to all. I see the heart that was priked and entered  When God's man answered the gospel call  And yielded His life as a humble servant,  A man who is willing, as was Apostle Paul. I see all of this as he stands in the pulpit,  An instrument through which God speaks  The words of wisdom, of love and peace,  To lead and guide all those whom God seeks. by Judy Crowe

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace where there's hatred let me sow love where there is injury, pardon where there is doubt Let me sow faith

where there's quiet despair, hope Where there is darkness Let me sow light where there is sadness, joy Lord make me Your instrument of peace
