Psalm 92
02:52
|
|
||
Based on Psalm 92, a psalm of David for Shabbat
It is to good to give thanks to Adonai
and to sing your name, O Elyon
To the melody of a sounding lyre
and to the music of a harp
Oh, the foolish cannot know
nor the senseless see
For the wicked sprout like grass
but your joy remains
It is to good to give thanks to Adonai
and to sing your name, O Elyon
To the melody of a sounding lyre
and to the music of a harp
Tell every morning of his grace
faithfulness at night
What you make brings joy to us
Let your praises rise
It is to good to give thanks to Adonai
and to sing your name, O Elyon
To the melody of a sounding lyre
to the music of a harp

Abide with Me
03:12
|
|
||
Abide with me, fast falls the evening time
The darkness deepens Lord be by side
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, Lord, abide with me
As I put down the burdens of the day
You’ll bring renewal in your company
Change and decay I have no need to fear
Your love it changes not you’re always
near
Abide with me
You know my story and you know my needs
There is no silent prayer which you cannot hear
I need not worry what my future holds
Oh my Provider you are always close

Orbit
03:25
|
|
||
Orbiting 'round the sun
planets they dance
each one is bathing in its light
The moon circle round the world
showing its pale face
drawn by the gravity of Earth
So I go 'round
the centre of my life
Lord, I orbit around you
You who are life itself
we bathe in your light
dancing in dependency on you
So I go 'round
the centre of my universe
Lord, I orbit around you

We, like Stars and Seas
03:14
|
|
||
And we like stars and seas
will glimmer in that knowledge
Above the tides of fear
we hold to this law
Fight fear with love
Fight evil with good
And we have dared recall
above this iron carpet
the stars have not forgot
who placed them there
Fight fear with love
Fight evil with good

In the ancient days of Israel
as the Friday evening would come
people stopped their work
gathered at the temple
And they sang
the psalms of David
filled the temple court with song
By the glow of a thousand lanterns
as a million stars came out
In the city of Jerusalem
as the Friday light slowly died
in the house of God
near to the Shekinah
And they sang
the psalms of David
filled the temple court with song
By the glow of a thousand lanterns
as a million stars came out

Hymn by Candlelight
03:19
|
|
||
I sing a hymn by candlelight
the flame is softly glows
An evening chill has settled in
the window's drawn and closed
Now friends and family
gather round
gather round
its glow
We read the words of Yeshua
and share the bread we have
And pray that Yah brings rest to us
the Spirit of his love
Now friends and family
gather round
gather round
its glow
Here we have told
stories of old
God bless this house
Now friends and family
gather round
gather round
its glow

This Foolish Mutiny
03:16
|
|
||
Today I played God
hailed myself as king
Today I played safe
put myself in harm's way
Oh Lord, I'm done
lusting after your job
Tonight I put away
this foolish mutiny
Today I played God
crowned my own ways and thoughts
And with gavel in hand
dealt out judgements and plans
Oh Lord, I'm done
lusting after your job
Tonight I put away
this foolish mutiny
Today I let go of my claim to God's throne
Oh Lord, I'm done
lusting after your job
Tonight I put away
this foolish mutiny

In the Beginning
03:29
|
|
||
(Based on Genesis 1)
In the beginning
God made the heavens and Earth
It happened by words he spoke
in the beginning
In the beginning
the Earth it was empty and void
The Spirit of God he was
over the waters
"Let there be light"
and there was light
In the beginning
God made the sun and the moon
Light for the day and night
in the beginning
In the beginning
God made the mountains and seas
teaming with vibrant life
in the beginning
"Let there be light"
and there was light
In the beginning
God made the heavens and Earth
It happened by words he spoke
in the beginning
In the beginning
God made the heavens and Earth
It happened by words he spoke
in the beginning
"Let us make man
in our image"

Read My Need
02:39
|
|
||
I can ask
I can want
things and people
in my life
but they're times
I have lacked
sight to see the better path
I need your grace
to read my need
I can pray
I can wish
things to happen
in my way
But they’re times
I have lacked
wisdom for a better plan
I need your grace
to read my need
I need your grace
to read my need
I need your grace to read
I need your grace to read
I need your grace to read my need

Lest We Forget
03:41
|
|
||
Open your door to the stranger
Open your door to the stranger
you pass
Open your door to the stranger
you pass
For we were strangers too
till God called us friends
We were strangers too
lest we forget
Open your arms to the homeless
Open your arms to the homeless
you pass
Open you arms to the homeless
you pass
For we were homeless too
till God called sons
We were homeless too
till he called us daughters
Open your heart to the broken
Open your heart to the broken
you see
Open your heart to the broken
Can't you see
For He was broken too
Jesus was broken for us
He was broken too
for us
For he was broken
and he was homeless
and he was a stranger
Whatever you do to the least of these....

Yeshua is Near
01:55
|
|
||
In the evening time
as I lay down to rest
I know it is true
Yeshua is near
He who said
"I’ll never or forsake you"
Do not fear
Yeshua is near

Shabbat Shalom
04:52
|
|
||
The week is over now
and you can put your work down
all those burdens that you've carried around
If rest is what you seek
there is one who provides
made a sanctuary crafted out of time
Shabbat Shalom to you
May the peace of God go with you
Find your rest
in knowing he is God
You can take your stress and
your failures and wants
bring them to his open, every-listening heart
He's the wisest place to find strength, hide away
And his hands are the safest hands to hold
Shabbat Shalom to you
May the peace of God go with you
Find your rest
in knowing he is God
Find your rest
in God
