Colours of Day Colours of day dawn into the mind,

the sun has come up, the night is behind. Go down in the city, into the street

and let’s give the message to the people we meet.

So light up the fire and let the flames burn,

open the door, let Jesus return, take seeds of his spirit

let the fruit grow, Tell the people of Jesus,

let His love show.

Go through the park, on into the town: The sun still shines on; it never goes down.

The light of the world is risen again; The people of darkness are needing our

friend.

Open your eyes, look into the sky, the darkness has come, The sun came to die,

the evening draws on, the sun disappears But Jesus is living and his Spirit is near.

I watch the sunrise, lighting the sky, Casting it’s shadows near.

And on this morning bright though it be, I feel those shadows near me.

But you are always close to me Following all my ways.

May I be always close to you Following all you ways, Lord.

I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds, Warming the earth below.

And at the mid day life seems to say: “I feel your brightness near me.”

I watch the sunset fading away, Lighting the clouds with sleep.

And as the evening closes it’s eyes I feel your presence near me.

I watch the moonlight guarding the night, Waiting till morning comes.

The earth is silent, earth at restOnly your peace is near me.

Lay your hands gently upon us, Let their touch render your peace; Let them bring forth forgiveness and healing, Lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

You were sent to free the broken hearted You were sent to give sight to the blind. You desire to heal all our illnesses. Lay your hands gently lay your hands.

Lord, we come to you through one another Lord we come to you in all our need Lord we come to you seeking wholeness. Lay your hands gently lay your hands.

I the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry.

All who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save. I who make the stars of night, I will make their

darkness bright, Who will bear my light to them, whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard you calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if you lead me, I will hold your people in my heart.

I the Lord of Snow and rain, I have borne my peoples pain,

I have wept for love of them, they turn away. I will break their hearts of stone. Give them hearts

for love alone, I will speak my word to them. Whom shall I send?

I the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame.

I will set a feast for them, my hand will save. Finest bread I will provide, till their hearts be

satisfied. I will give my life to them, whom shall I send?

Lord, make me a means of your peace. Where there’s hatred grown, let me sow your love.

Where there’s injury Lord, let forgiveness be my sword.

Lord, make me a means of your peace.

Lord make me a means of your peace. Where there’s doubt and fear let me sow your faith.

In this world’s despair, give me hope in you to share..

Lord, make me a means of your peace.

Lord make me a means of your peace. When there’s sadness here, let me sow your joy.

When the darkness nears, may your light dispel our fears..

Lord, make me a means of your peace.

Lord, make me a means of your peace. Less to be consoled, than to help console.

Less be understood, than to understand your good. Lord, make me a means of your peace.

Come Back to Me

Come back to me, with all your heart, Don’t let fear, keep us apart.

Trees do bend, ‘tho’ straight and tall, So must we to others call.

Long have I waited for your coming Home to me and living deeply our new life.

The wilderness, will lead you, to your heart where I will speak.

Integrity and justice, With tenderness you shall know.

You shall sleep secure with peace

Faithfulness will be your guide.

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now I’m found, Was blind but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved.

How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come.

‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been here a thousand years Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise, Than when we first begun.

Father in my life I see

Father in my life I see You are God who walks with

me. You hold my life in your hands Close beside You I will stand.

I give all my life to you Help me, Father to be true…

Jesus in my life I see…

Spirit in my life I see..

We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord, We are one in the Spirit; we are one in the Lord,

And we pray that all unity may one day be restored..

And they’ll know we are Christians, By our love, by our love..

Yes they’ll know we are Christians by our love.

We will walk with each other we will walk hand in hand.

We will walk with each other; we will walk hand in hand.

And together we’ll spread the news that God is in our Land…

We will work with each other; we will work side by side,

We will work with each other; we will work side by side,

And we’ll guard each mans dignity and save each man’s pride..

Be Not Afraid

Be not afraid, I go before you always Come follow me, and I will give you rest.

You shall cross the barren dessert, but you shall not die of thirst. You shall wander far in safety,

though you do not know the way. You shall speak your words in foreign lands and all will

understand. You shall see the face of God and live..

If you pass through raging waters in the sea you shall not drown

If you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed

If you stand before the fires of hell and death is at your side

Know that I am with you through it all.

Blessed are your poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs

Blessed are you that weep and mourn for someday you shall laugh And if wicked men insult and hate

you all because of me Blessed, blessed are you.

Try a Little Kindness

If you see your brother standing by the road,

With a heavy load, from the seeds he's sowed.

And if you see your sister falling by the way Just stop and say, "you're going the wrong

way"

You've got to try a little kindness show a little kindness,

Just shine your light for every one to see. And if you try a little kindness,

Then you'll over look the blindness, of the narrow minded people On the narrow minded streets.

Don't walk around so down and out, Lend a helping hand, instead of doubt.

And the kindness that you show everyday Will help someone along their way.

Circle of Friends You have friends, you are not alone.

Thanks to them you’re not on your own. You are strong even when you feel small.

From the rain they will shelter you. In your pain they will comfort you.

They will always pick you up when you fall.

Circle of friends, all around you. Circle of friends, strong and true. Circle of friends,

always there for you.

Even when you are far apart, To your friends you’re joined heart to

heart. Far away you are not on your own.

You’re not there but they think of you. In their prayers they remember you.

You are never ever truly alone.

Seek Ye First

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, And His righteousness.

And all these things shall be added unto you; Allelu – alleluia

Ask and it shall be given unto you;

Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall be

opened unto you. Allelu – Alleluia.

Repeat with Alleluia

Let Him be your consolation, your sorrow He can feel,

You are in the presence of the Lord. And let the love of Jesus in your heart and let it

heal. You are in the presence…..

So let’s join our hands together, our prayer to be the same, we are in the presence…..

And let’s all raise our voices, and praise His holy name, we are in the presence…..

Shine Jesus Shine Lord the light of your love is shining, in the midst of the darkness shining;

Jesus Light of the World, shine upon us, set us free by the truth you know bring us.

Shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory;

blaze, Spirit blaze, set our hearts on fire.

Flow river flow, flood the nations with the grace and mercy,

send forth your work, Lord and let there be light.

Lord, I come to your awesome presence, from the shadows into your radiance;

by the blood I may enter your brightness, search me, try me, consume all my darkness.

Shine on my, shine on me.

As we gaze on your kingly brightness, so our faces display your likeness, ever changing from glory to glory,

mirrored here may our lives tell your story, Shine on me, shine on me.

Go in Peace!!

The Servant Song

Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you?

Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too.

We are pilgrims on a journey, we are travellers on the road.

We are here to help each other, walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ light for you, in the darkness of your fear.

I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping, when you laugh I’ll laugh with you:

I will share your joy and sorrow, till we’ve seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony,

Born of all we’ve known together, of Christ’s love and agony.

Father we Adore you

Father we Adore you, Lay our lives before you

How we love you.

How we love you.

you.

Yahweh is the God of my Salvation

Yahweh is the God of my salvation: I trust in Him and have no fear.

I sing of the Joy which His love gives to me And I draw deeply from the springs of His

great kindness.

Open our eyes to the wonder of this moment: The beginning of another day..

Be with us Lord, as we break through with each other,

To find the truth and beauty of each friend..

When evening comes and our day of toil is over,

Give us rest o Lord in the joy of many friends..

Take us beyond the vision of this day To the deep and wide ways

of your infinite love and life..

Go Tell Everyone

God’s spirit is in my heart, He has called me and set me apart.

This is what I have to do, What I have to do.

He sent me to give the Good News to the poor, Tell prisoners that they are prisoners no more;

Tell blind people that they can see And set the downtrodden free…

And go tell everyone, The news that the Kingdom of God has come,

And go tell everyone The news that God’s kingdom has come.

Just as the Father sent me, So I’m sending you out to be

My witnesses throughout the world,The whole of the world.

Don’t worry what you have to say:Don’t worry because on

that day, God’s spirit will speak In your heart, will speak in your heart.

And His mercy will reach from age to age.
