HEART-FELT WORSHIP

Teach me Lord, to freely worship
From a pure and contrite heart
So the radiance of Your glory
May fill every yielded part.

Bowing in your holy presence
Lord, I long to see your face
So each worldly thought that hinders
May find cleansing by Your grace.

You have purchased my salvation
Through the blood once shed for me
Let me not forget the wonder
Of the cross that set me free.

Holy is the ground I stand on
Lifting hands I bring You praise
May the gift of heart-felt worship
Crown Your name through endless days.

ALMIGHTY SAVIOR

El Shaddai, Almighty Father
Elohim, Almighty Lord
You have raised us by Your mercy
Through the power of your Word

We lift high the Name of Jesus
Bowing down before Your Throne
Heaven and earth proclaims Your glory
Offering praise to You alone.

So in glad and full surrender
May Your Glory light the Flame!
Blessed, Blessed Holy Spirit
Worship crowns Your Holy Name.

Spirit bind us in Your fullness
Melt the dross, ignite the Flame
That in body, soul and spirit
Holy, blameless we remain!

ONLY ONE LIFE TO LIVE

As we reflect on how our lives are spent
How golden years like mist soon disappear
The talents given us as gifts to serve

Were meant to lift man’s burdens and give cheer. 

 
The footprints left along the shores of time
With youthful hopes like castles in the sand
If unfulfilled – are only empty dreams
Without true purpose placed within our hand.


So transient is our pilgrimage below
And God has given limits to our days
A second chance is not within our grasp
Since deeds of love are ours to bring Him praise.


Review your life before the Reaper calls
Don't let regrets enslave you to the past
Live daily with eternity in view
For faithful service done for Christ will last.

B. Pent
