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

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

Into the darkness we must go
Gone, gone is the light
Into the darkness we must go

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
