Sunday Audio Service – 2nd before Lent – Holy Communion – 23/2/25
MEEKNESS AND MAJESTY,
Manhood and Deity,
In perfect harmony,
The Man who is God.
Lord of eternity
Dwells in humanity,
Kneels in humility
And washes our feet.
O what a mystery,
Meekness and majesty.
Bow down and worship
For this is your God,
This is your God.
Father’s pure radiance,
Perfect in innocence,
Yet learns obedience
To death on a cross.
Suffering to give us life,
Conquering through sacrifice,
And as they crucify
Prays: ‘Father forgive.’
Wisdom unsearchable,
God the invisible,
Love indestructible
In frailty appears.
Lord of infinity,
Stooping so tenderly,
Lifts our humanity
To the heights of His throne.
Graham Kendrick.

GOD FORGAVE MY SIN in Jesus’ name,
I’ve been born again in Jesus’ name.
And in Jesus’ name I come to you
To share His love as He told me to.
He said:
‘Freely, freely, you have received,
Freely, freely give.
Go in My name, and because you believe
Others will know that I live.’
All power is given in Jesus’ name,
In earth and heaven in Jesus’ name.
And in Jesus’ name I come to you
To share His power as He told me to.
Carol Owens.

DO NOT BE AFRAID,
For I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name.
You are Mine.
When you walk through the waters, I’ll be with you.
You will never sink beneath the waves.
When the fire is burning all around you,
You will never be consumed by the flames.
When the fear of loneliness is looming,
Then remember I am at your side.
When you dwell in the exile of the stranger,
Remember you are precious in My eyes.
You are Mine, O My child; I am your Father,
And I love you with a perfect love.
Gerard Markland

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE.
Where there is hatred let me bring Your love.
Where there is injury, Your pardon, Lord.
And where there’s doubt, true faith in You.
Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand.
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light.
And where there’s sadness, ever joy.
Make me a channel of Your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all men that we receive,
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.
Sebastian Temple.

(During Communion)
TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
Take my will and make it Thine.
It shall be no longer mine:
Take my heart, it is Thine own.
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store:
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
Frances Ridley Havergal.

MAKE WAY, make way, for Christ the King
In splendour arrives.
Fling wide the gates and welcome Him
Into your lives.
Make way! (Make way!)
Make way! (Make way!)
For the King of kings. (For the King of kings.)
Make way! (Make way!)
Make way! (Make way!)
And let His kingdom in.
He comes the broken hearts to heal,
The prisoners to free.
The deaf shall hear, the lame shall dance,
The blind shall see.
And those who mourn with heavy hearts,
Who weep and sigh.
With laughter, joy and royal crown
He’ll beautify.
We call you now to worship Him
As Lord of all.
To have no gods before Him,
Their thrones must fall!
Graham Kendrick.
