O Lord all the world belongs to you Why Herod so unpitying Just as I am without one plea O thou who camest from above Be thou my vision Father, I place into your hands I waited for the Lord my God There is a redeemer |
When I call O Lord, YOU
ANSWER ME.
When I am in danger, YOU RESCUE
ME.
When I am unsure,
YOU SET ME SAFELY ON A ROCK
When I have nothing to say YOU TEACH ME TO SING A NEW
SONG
You have done so many wonderful things for me, O Lord my God.
THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU!

Prayer of praiseSing a new song! WE SING A SONG OF PRAISE TO OUR LORD
In the morning we sing a new song to our Lord,
And even if our sleep was broken or troubled,
At midday we sing a new song to our Lord,
And even if things have gone from bad to worse,
In the evening we sing a new song to our Lord,
And even if there is no respite,
Sing a new song!
WE SING A SONG OF PRAISE TO OUR LORD
