Father, give us the power to look back 2000 years
To see your son upon the cross
To bear his pain
And walk in his ways
Show us your love
That we may spread your love
And others may know love
So that they may know you
For all life starts with love
So should all life end with love
The love of the Holy Father

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I am not shouting, "I am saved,"
I am whispering, "I am lost."
That is why I choose this way.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not speak of this with pride,
I am confessing that I stumble
And need someone to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I am not trying to be strong.
I am professing that I am weak
And pray for strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I am not bragging of success.
I am admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I am not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are too visible,
But God believes I am worth it.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches,
Which is why I seek His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I am loved.
(John Clay, Theresa Kleman)
Glory, glory to the Lord,
the one true God who keeps His word,
the Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice
Cry out to God with one great voice.
He�s all I need, He�s made that clear,
in Him there�s nothing left to fear.
He is strong when we are weak,
and thus His face alone we�ll seek.
We are a chosen race,
covenant people set apart,
we keep our part and we obey,
trust Him to lead us all the way.
We wear robes of righteousness,
our swords we hold up high,
we know who we are in Christ,
who shed His blood and paid the price.
Clothed in covenant great and strong,
within His Word we can�t go wrong.
Day-to-day we�ll sing this song
And will always bring Him along
Standing firm both day and night
Till that Devil takes his flight
Soldiers now by every right
We�ll march on through the dead of night
And with all humanity
We will always praise the king
With mighty shouts
And trumpet blasts
Till the King cometh back
