Song Lyrics

For Sunday, June 22

 

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision
O, Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me
Save that Thou art
Thou my best thought
By day or by night
Waking or sleeping
Thy presence, my light

By Thou my wisdom
Be Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee
And Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father
And I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling
And I with Thee one

Be Thou my shield
My sword for the fight
Be Thou my dignity
Be Thou my might
Thou my soul’s shelter
And Thou my high tow’r
Raise Thou me heav’nward
O pow’r of my pow’r

Riches I heed not
Nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance
Now and always
Thou and Thou only
Be first in my heart
High King of heaven
My treasure Thou art

High King of heaven
When vict’ry is won
May I reach heaven’s joys
O, bright heaven’s Sun
Heart of my own heart
Whatever befall
Still be my vision
O, Ruler of all
Still be my vision
O, Ruler of all

 

Let Your Kingdom Come

Your glorious cause, O God
Engages our hearts
May Jesus Christ be known
Wherever we are
We ask not for ourselves
But for Your renown
The cross has saved us so we pray
Your kingdom come

Chorus
Let Your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
So that everyone might know Your Name
Let Your song be heard
Everywhere on earth
Till Your sovereign work on earth is done
Let Your kingdom come

Give us Your strength, O God
And courage to speak
Perform Your wondrous deeds
Through those who are weak
Lord use as You want
Whatever the test
By grace we’ll preach Your gospel
Till our dying breath

 

Speak, O Lord

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your holy word
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness
That the light of Christ
Might be seen today
In our acts of love
And our deeds of faith
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory

Teach us, Lord, full obedience
Holy reverence, true humility
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity
Cause our faith to rise
Cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love
And authority
Words of pow’r that can never fail
Let their truth prevail over unbelief

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity
And by grace we’ll stand
On Your promises
And by faith we’ll walk
As You walk with us
Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory

 

Sermon: Shepherding Care

Bible Passage:  Acts 20:13-38 (clicking on the verse will take you to the Bible passage)

 

Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me

What gift of grace is Jesus, my Redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace

Chorus 1
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to His
O how strange and divine
I can sing “all is mine”
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

The night is dark, but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Savior He will stay
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed

Chorus 2
To this I hold, my Savior will defend me
Through the deepest valley He will lead
O the night has been won
And I shall overcome
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave

Chorus 3
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
O the chains are released
I can sing “I am free”
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

With every breath, I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day, I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne

Chorus 4
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete
Still my lips shall repeat
“Yet not I, but through Christ in me”

Tag
When the race is complete
Still my lips shall repeat
“Yet not I, but through Christ in me”
“Yet not I, but through Christ in me”
“Yet not I, but through Christ in me”

 

Benediction: Ephesians 3:20-21
