THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET
VERSE 2:
REFRAIN:
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path,
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
When I feel afraid,
And think I've lost my way.
Still, you're there right beside me.
Nothing will I fear
As long as you are near;
Please be near me to the end. (ref)
LORD WE GATHER
Lord, we gather today
in Your house, we kneel down and pray.
We ask for Your mercy as we open our hearts
to receive Your forgiveness, O Lord.
Lord, we lift up to You
all these gifts, we offer for Your glory.
We will eat this living bread; we will drink this
saving cup
and feel Your presence, O Lord.
As we offer this bread
and as we bring you this wine,
Bless them, Lord Jesus.
Feed us now, give us life.
Send us Your Spirit,
the source of our lives,
and together, we will serve You with love.
CREATE IN ME
REFRAIN:
Create in me a clean heart
Put a new and right spirit within me
Cast me not away from Your presence
And take not Your Holy Spirit from me
VERSE 1:
Have mercy on me, O God, in Your goodness
In Your compassion, blot out all my sin
Thoroughly cleanse me from all of my guilt
Wash me till Im whiter than snow (Refrain)
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation
Uphold me with a willing spirit
So I will teach transgressors Your ways
And sinners will return to You (Refrain)
VERSE 3:
You are pleased with sincerity of heart
Not with sacrifices or with holocausts
My sacrifice is a broken spirit
For You will not refuse a humble heart
(Refrain)
CODA:
Create in me a clean heart
YOUR HEART TODAY
Where there is fear I can allay
Where there is pain I can heal
Where there are wounds I can bind
And hunger I can fill
REFRAIN:
Lord, grant me courage
Lord, grant me strength
Grant me compassion
That I may be Your heart today
Where there is hate I can confront
Where there are yokes I can release
Where there are captives I can free
And anger I can appease (REFRAIN)
BRIDGE:
When comes the day I dread
To see our broken world
Compel me from my cell grown cold
That Your people I may behold
Where there is fear I can allay
Where there is pain I can heal
Where there are wounds I can bind
And hunger I can fill (REFRAIN)
CODA:
And when I've done all that I could
Yet there are hearts I cannot move
Lord, give me hope
That I may be Your heart today
