Mezbah Ampunan (Table of Grace)



Hear the good news, you’ve been invited
No matter what others may say,
Your darkest sins will be forgiven
And you will always have a place.

So come you weak, and heavy hearted
Don’t try to hide your earthly scars.
And in His eyes, we all are equal
Don’t be afraid, come as you are.

At the table of grace the cup’s never empty.
The plate’s always full, and it’s never too late.
To come and be filled with love never ending
You’re always welcome at the table of grace.
(Instrumental break)

So let the first become the last
And let the poor put kings to shame.
Their willing hearts will be their treasure
By the power of Jesus’ name!

At the table of grace the cup’s never empty
The plate’s always full, and it’s never too late!
To come and be filled with love never ending
You’re always welcome at the table of grace

To come and be filled with love never ending:
You’re always welcome, You’re always welcome
You’re always welcome at the table of grace.

Always Something Sings



Let me go where I will
I hear a sky-born music still
It sounds from all things old
It sounds from all things young

From all that’s fair
From all that’s foul
Peals out a cheerful song

It is not only in the rose
It is not only in the bird
Not only where the rainbow glows
Nor in the song of woman heard
But in the darkest, meanest things

There always, always something sings
Always something sings
Always, always something sings

'Tis not in the high stars alone
Nor in the cups of budding flowers
Nor in the redbreast's mellow tone
Nor in the bow that smiles in showers

But in the mud and scum of things
There always, always something sings

There always something sings
Something sings

Send The Light


There’s a call comes ringing over the restless wave,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
There are souls to rescue there are souls to save,
Send the light! Send the light!

Refrain

Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine forevermore!

We have heard the Macedonian call today,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
And a golden offering at the cross we lay,
Send the light! Send the light!

Refrain

Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
And a Christlike spirit everywhere be found,
Send the light! Send the light!

Refrain

Let us not grow weary in the work of love,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
Let us gather jewels for a crown above,
Send the light! Send the light!

Refrain

You Raise Me Up / Be Still My Soul


Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change God faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

Quiet Nights


Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on Corcovado … oh how lovely
This is where I want to be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life’s embers
I who was lost and lonely believing life was only
The bitter tragic joke
I found with you the meaning of existence … oh my love
