Over the moutains and the seas,
Your river runs with love for me,
And I will open up my heart
And let the healer set me free.
I’m happy to be in the truth,
And I will daily lift my hands,
For I will always sing
Of when your love came down
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever

Oh I feel like dancin’
It’s foolishness I know.
But when the world has seen the light,
They will dance with joy like we’re dancin’ now.
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever

May our homes be filled with dancing
May our streets be filled with joy
May injustice bow to Jesus
As the people turn and pray
From the mountains to the valleys
Hear our praises rise to You
From the heavens to the nations
Hear our singing fill the air

May our light shine in the darkness
As we walk before the cross
May your glory fill the whole earth
As the water over seas
From the mountains to the valleys
Hear our praises rise to You
From the heavens to the nations
Hear our singing fill the air
H a l l e l u j a h, H a l l e l u j a h.
H a l l e l u j a h , H a l l e l u j a h.

Blessed are those who dwell in Your house
They are ever praising You
Blessed are those whose strength is in You
Whose hearts are set on our God
And we will go from strength to strength
Until we see You face to face
Hear our prayer
O Lord God Almighty
Come bless our land
As we seek You Worship You
For You are holy

All the colours of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
Reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the seas
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand reachin’ out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to Kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak what love has done
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

Your light broke through my night,
Restored exceeding joy.
Your grace fell like the rain,
And made this desert live.
You have turned
My mourning into dancing.
You have turned
My sorrow into joy.
Your hand lifted me up,
I stand on higher ground.
Your praise rose in my heart,
And made this valley sing.

You have turned
My mourning into dancing.
You have turned
My sorrow into joy.
This is how we overcome…..

And to you, my brothers and sisters

The Lord says this: I am going to take
you from among the nations and gather
you together from all the foreign
countries, and bring you home to your
own land. I shall pour clean water over
you and you will be cleansed; I shall
cleanse you of all your defilement and all
your idols. I shall give you a new heart,
and put a new spirit in you; I shall
remove the heart of stone from your
bodies and give you a heart of flesh
instead. I shall put my spirit in you, and
make you keep my laws and sincerely
respect my observances. You will live in
the land which I gave your ancestors.
You shall be my people and I will be your
God.
This is the Word of the Lord
Thanks be to God

R: The Lord is my shepherd,
there is nothing I shall want.
The Lord, he is my shepherd,
There is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures,
Where he gives me repose
Near restful waters
My God will lead me
To revive my drooping spirit

R: The Lord is my shepherd,
there is nothing I shall want.
He guides me along the right path,
He is true to his name
If I should walk in the valley of darkness,
no evil would I fear
You are there with Your crook and
Your staff
You give me comfort
In the sight of my foes

R: The Lord is my shepherd,
there is nothing I shall want.
You have prepared a banquet
For me, O Lord my God
All this You’ve done in the sight
of my enemies
My head You have anointed
with oil, O Lord
My cup is overflowing

R: The Lord is my shepherd,
there is nothing I shall want.
Surely goodness and kindness
shall ever follow me
Follow me, all the days
of the life he’s given me.
In the Lord’s own house,
shall I dwell forever
till the end of time

Everyone moved by the Spirit is a son of
God. The Spirit you received is not the
spirit of slaves bringing fear into your
lives again; it is the spirit of sons, and it
makes us cry out, ‘Abba, Father!’ The
Spirit himself and our spirit bear united
witness that we are children of God. And
if we are children, we are heirs as well:
heirs of God and coheirs with Christ,
sharing his sufferings so as to share in
his glory.
This is the Word of the Lord
Thanks be to God

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Give the glory, and the honour
to the Lord!
The Father will give you another Advocate
To be with you for ever, says the Lord.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Give the glory, and the honour
to the Lord!

Jesus said to his disciples:
“If anyone loves me
he will keep my word,
and my father will love him
and we shall come to him
and make our home with him.
Those who do not love me
do not keep my words.
And my word is not my own:
It is the word of the one who sent me.
I have said these things to you
while still with you;
but the Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you everything and remind you
of all I have said to you.”
This is the Gospel of the Lord
Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ

Held my hand and gave me strength
To walk along…
When I fell you picked me up
I was dry you filled my cup
Taught me faith and I believed
Your promises…
Your faithfulness…
Your love for me…
And I heard you saying:

Come be my light,
Come feel my love,
Come share my hope,
And be the salt of the earth.
I’ll give you joy,
Go spread my word,
So be my hands,
Cos’ you’re my light to the world
My light unto the world!

When I was lost You helped me out,
Was confused You cleared my doubt,
Felt Your love and I was sure,
To walk along…
Brought Your sunshine to my life
You dispelled my sin and strife,
On the cross You died and now I know
Your promises…
Your faithfulness…
Your love for me…
And I heard You saying:

Come be my light,
Come feel my love,
Come share my hope,
And be the salt of the earth.
I’ll give you joy,
Go spread my word,
So be my hands,
Cos’ you’re my light to the world
My light unto the world!
Lord You are my saviour!
Lord You are my king!
It’s for You that I live for!
And for You this song I sing!

I’ll be Your light,

I’ll share Your hope,
And be the salt of the earth.
You give me joy,
I’ll spread Your word,
I’ll be Your hands,
