Sunday Audio Service – Lent 1 – Holy Communion – 22/02/26
SEEK YE FIRST the kingdom of God
And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you,
Hallelu, hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelu, hallelujah!
Man shall not live by bread alone,
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God,
Hallelu, hallelujah!
Ask and it shall be given unto you,
Seek and ye shall find.
Knock and it shall be opened unto you,
Hallelu, hallelujah!
If the Son shall set you free,
Ye shall be free indeed.
Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free,
Hallelu, hallelujah!
Let your light so shine before men
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father in heaven,
Hallelu, hallelujah!
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,
He shall direct thy paths,
In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
Hallelu, hallelujah!
Karen Lafferty.

FATHER, HEAR THE PRAYER WE OFFER:
Not for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength, that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
Not for ever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be:
But by steep and rugged pathways
Would we strive to climb to Thee.
Not for ever by still waters
Would we idly quiet stay.
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
Be our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings be our Guide.
Through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be Thou at our side.
Let our path be bright or dreary,
Storm or sunshine be our share;
May our souls, in hope unweary.
Make Thy work our ceaseless prayer.
Love Maria Willis

BIND US TOGETHER, Lord,
Bind us together
With cords that cannot be broken.
Bind us together, Lord,
Bind us together,
Bind us together with love.
There is only one God,
There is only one King.
There is only one Body,
That is why we sing:
Made for the glory of God,
Purchased by His precious Son.
Born with the right to be clean,
For Jesus the victory has won.
You are the family of God,
You are the promise divine.
You are God’s chosen desire,
You are the glorious new wine.
Bob Gillman.

GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me now and ever more,
Feed me now and ever more.
Open Thou the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow.
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside.
Death of death, and hell’s destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side:
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee.
William Williams.
