Compassion

Blessed are the poor in spirit
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven
Blessed are those who mourn
for the will be comforted

Blessed are the meek
for they will inherit the earth
Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness

Blessed are the merciful
for the will be shown mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart
for they shall see their God

Blessed are the peacemakers
for they will be called sons of God
Blessed are those who are persecuted
because of righteousness
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven
Rejoice and be glad
for great is your reward in Heaven


Ecclesiastes 12


Goodbye October

Goodbye October
Let me rest in winters arms
With my coat around my shoulder - keeps me warm
Well I'm thinking of the hours we spend
Just changing with the season
And the reason for the calm before the storm

Goodbye October
Have the leaves already fallen
I don/t mind the whistling wind around my door
Am I happy just to touch the snow
Or watch the meadows changing
Rearranging all the things we did before

Goodbye October
Did we see the colours change
Are we all too busy rushing through the year
Are we making time for Jesus
And the things He wants to teach us
Can He reach us, do we really want to hear

Hello forever
Let me rest in Jesus' arms
With His love around me I can reach the skies
Well I wonder as the seasons turn
And autumn slowly breaking
Are we waking with His summer in our eyes
With His summer in our eyes


Hide Me in Your Shadow (Psalm 57)

God my Father have mercy - be merciful to me
For in you will my soul take refuge - O hide me
In Your shadow , there will I hide in safety
Till the storms of destruction soften and pass me by

Here I stand in the midst of those who delight to hurt me
Lions devouring the righteous lying in wait to tear me down

He will save me, hold and defend me
I will praise Him, love and exalt Him
I will awake the dawn, I will sing
I will greet the morn, awake my soul

O my Lord you are faithful , I put my hope in thee
You're my strength , my fortress, my deliverer

He will save me, hold and defend me
I will praise Him, love and exalt Him
He will save me, hold and defend me
I will praise Him, love and exalt Him
I will awake the dawn, I will sing
I will greet the morn, awake my soul


Out of the Deep (Psalm 130)

Out of the deep I cry to Thee
O Lord listen to my prayer
Father, come attend to me
I am in despair
Lord have mercy on Your servant
For I am cold and lost without You

If You O Lord should number sin
then who could ever stand
But forgiveness rests with Thee
Righteous in Your hands
the You may be feared - O Father
In the hearts of every man

My soul is waiting for the Lord
And in His word I hope
Mere than a watchman for the morning
More than a watchman for the dawn
More than this my soul is waiting
Waiting for the Lord, waiting for the Lord,
Waiting for the Lord,

O Israel , put your hope in God
For with Him there is steadfast love
For He will redeem us
He alone will save us
He will never fail His people Israel


Psalm 139


Your Way to Me

Why do I close the door on you
Exclude, refuse this part of me
What is the fear I hold on to
The wall I build and place between
Your searching eyes - and mine rehearsed
Evasive , distant , hard

Why must I choose the perfect time
The moment you may enter in -
There's no negotiation there
No sense of what it is to share
Just ' you may come this far...no more'
The rest left to another hour

And in the midst of all of this
You stand with all your hopes and fears
With open arms
And longing for my tenderness
Then how I long to call you here
Caress and hold you very near
To comfort you , and lead you to the child inside

O never lose this part of you - no surrender
Believe and love and fight your way to me
For only you could come this far
And how I need you to....
Stone by stone dismantle this proud heart of mine
And stay with me, that we may journey on as one

The Lord's My Shepherd (Psalm 23)

The Lord's my shepherd - I'll not lack
He makes me down to lie in pastures green
He leadeth me the quiet waters by
Feed me, Father, when I hunger

My soul He does restore again
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness
E'en for His own name's sake
Lead me, Father, when I wander

Yea though I walk in death's dark vale
Yet will I fear none ill
For thou art with me; and Thy rod and staff
me comfort still
Clothe me, Father, when I'm naked
Hold me, Father, when I'm filled with fear

My table Thou has furnished
In the presence of my foes
My head dost with oil anoint
And my cup overflows
Goodness and mercy - all of my life
Shall surely follow me
My table Thou has furnished
In the presence of my foes
My head dost with oil anoint
And my cup overflows
And in God's house for evermore
My dwelling place shall be


Carry Me in Your Heart

When the promises of dawn break into angry skies
And when I long for strength to rise above the storm
And when deep inside
The cry of my heart is to look into your eyes
Upon your gentle breeze I fly into your arms

For it 's here the darkness ends
The sun comes shining through
And into every part your Spirit brings release
And when all around the dry from the world
Is to find a way to you
Safe in you embrace I know your peace

Carry me in your heart, O heavenly Father
In the shelter of your wing, O holy dove
Carry me in your heart that I may stay
Perfectly at home within you love

I am in you, you are in me
You carry me in you heart
You make me a part of the mystery of you love

When the light upon the road becomes a shadow land
When I'm in chains to my uncertainty and pain
o Lord , deep inside, the peace of my heart
Is to know you understand
Cradled in you loving arms I hear you call my name

Carry me in your heart, O heavenly Father
In the shelter of your wing, O holy dove
Carry me in your heart that I may stay
Perfectly at home within you love

I am in you, you are in me
You carry me in you heart
You make me a part of the mystery of you love


Psalm 131


Compassion (reprise)


Within Me

Instrumental


Father

My defender, my protector
My provider, Father
Friend and stranger - always there
Never danger when you're near
In the shadow of your love

Always righteous teacher, pleased to learn
Still the child inside the man
Sometimes right and sometimes wrong
Sometimes weak and sometimes strong

Now life ending, temple ageing
In the shelter of your wing, O holy dove
Carry me in your heart that I may stay
Perfectly at home within you love

I am in you, you are in me
You carry me in you heart
You make me a part of the mystery of you love
Sadness sometimes , scarred yet so kind
Sometimes certain, often not
Sometimes broken , sometimes lost
Still with laughter in your eyes

Always righteous teacher, pleased to learn
Still the child inside the man
Sometimes right and sometimes wrong
Sometimes weak and sometimes strong

Father, always , need you , miss you
Thank you deeply - you are in me
I can touch you, hear you, feel you
You are with me, I'll be with you
Strong in faith, living soul
Israel , going home
Whole in love, life complete
Deep in peace - this is love indeed


They Shall Be Comforted

Instrumental


Revelation 21


No More Tears

No more tears
Do you hear
There won't be any crying
Won't have to fear what dying can do
we will all be shining new

No more pain
Do you hear
There won't be any sorrow
Won't have to fear what tomorrow can do
We will all be shining ...new

Nothing but goodness
Nothing but peace
Nothing but heaven's sweet release
Don't you know it's all coming true
Shining new
