The Wellspring – Music and Lyric by Steve Bell
Isaiah 6:1-8
The Father gives away His word and His breath
And all things are called into being
This mystery of love and of life is a gift
And its glory beyond human reason
And Holy, Holy, Holy is
The God of power and might
In all of heaven and earth His glory lives
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest
Whatever He speaks is worthy to be
Pure and blameless and holy
What ever He breathes is lovely indeed
Forever reflecting His glory
Holy Lord – Music and Lyric by Steve Bell
Isaiah 6:3
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
God of power and might
Heaven and earth of Your glory are full
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
I Feel the Winds of God Today (Kingsfold)
Music: Traditional, Lyric by Jesse Adams – public domain
I feel the winds of God today
Today my sail I lift
Though heavy oft with drenching spray
And torn with many a rift
If hope would light the water’s crest
And Christ my bark will use
I’ll seek the seas at His behest
And brave another cruise
It is the wind of God that dries
My vain regretful tears
Until with braver thoughts shall rise
The purer brighter years
If cast on shores of selfish ease
Or pleasure I should be
Lord let me feel Your freshening breeze
And I’ll set back to sea
If ever I forget Thy love
Or how that love was shown
Lift high the blood-red flag above
It bears Thy name alone
Great Pilot of my onward way
Thou will not let me drift
I feel the winds of God today
Today my sail I lift
That’s Alright With Me – Music and Lyrics by Steve Bell
Can I tell you a story of an average boy
A story we all know we well
It’s not a tale of never ending joy
Nor trials beyond what one can tell
My childhood seemed like an eternity
Each morning ruled by education bells
My youth was full of possibilities
But only few have had their fill
My love she works the other side of town
Each day she leaves for work by nine
Her smile is sweeter than an April shower
Her wrath is hotter than July
They say a couple can together be
With age a cup of love refined
Although I love my darlin’ tenderly
This growing old may take some time
My boy is just a babe of one year old
My girl is but a child of four
Both born with eyes of blue and hair of gold
‘spose maybe yet we’ll still have more
They say a father’s love is suffering
This day already I can tell
Although I love my children tenderly
Sometime you know raising kids is hell
Now looking back on what we’ve come to be
With many years to look ahead
Ours has never been a winning lottery
Whoever promised that it would
We’ll cry each time a sorrow comes to mind
We’ll laugh each opportunity
We’ll learn to celebrate what comes to pass
You know that that’s alright with me
How Long – Music and Lyric by Steve Bell
Adapted from Psalm 13
How long
Have You forgotten me oh lord
How long
Hmmm….
Will you hide Your face from me
How long
Look on me
Answer my call
Oh Lord my God
I need some light before I fall
How long
Will I wrestle with my thoughts
How long
Hmmm…
Must I have sorrow in my heart
How long
Look on me
Answer my call
I cry every night
But You don’t seem to hear at all
Yet I’ll trust in Your love
Yes Your unfailing love
And I will sing out my days
That You’ve been good to me
Yes You’ve been good to me
How long
Have You forgotten me oh Lord
How long
Hmmm…
Will You hide Your face from me
How long
How long
Benediction – Music and Lyric by Gord Johnson
Before the ending of the day
Creator of the world we pray
That you with steadfast love would keep
Your watch around us while we sleep
mmm…
From evil dreams defend our sight
From fears and terrors of the night
Tread underfoot our deadly foe
That we no sinful thought may know
mmm…
O Father that we ask be done
Through Jesus Christ your only son
And Holy Spirit by whose breath
Our souls are raised to life from death
mmm…
The Lorica - Music and Lyric by Gayle Salmond
I bind unto myself today
The gift to call on the Trinity
The saving faith where I can say
Come three in one, oh one in three
Be above me, as high as the noonday sun
Be below me, the rock I set my feet upon
Be beside me, the wind on my left and right
Be behind me, oh circle me with Your truth and light
I bind unto myself today
The love of Angels and Seraphim
The prayers and prophesies of Saints
The words and deeds of righteous men
God’s ear to hear me
God’s hand to guide me
God’s might to uphold me
God’s shield to hide me
Against all powers deceiving
Against my own unbelieving
Whether near or far
I bind unto myself today
The hope to rise from the dust of earth
The songs of nature giving praise
To Father, Spirit, Living Word

Who Condemns You Now – Music and Lyric by Gord Johnson
Who condemns you now
Neither they nor I
Go and sin no more
Go and sin no more
Jesus Feed Us – Music and Lyric by Gord Johnson
Again and again and again
To this table we come
Once a people estranged
Now as one in your name
In your mercy and grace
Forgiven of what we’ve confessed
By your body and blood
One last thing we request
To you we pray Jesus feed us
Feed us Jesus
Feed us Jesus
With your healing love
Embrace the Mystery – Music and Lyric by Gord Johnson
Behold what you are
Become what you receive
Take up the bread and wine
Embrace the mystery

Gone is the Light – Music and Lyric by Gord Johnson
Into the darkness we must go
Gone, gone is the light
Into the darkness we must go
Gone, gone is the light
Jesus remember me
When you come into your kingdom
Jesus remember me
When your kingdom comes
Father forgive them
They know not what they do
Father forgive them
They know not what they do
