Better Is One Day
How lovely is
Your dwelling place
O Lord Almighty
My soul faints
and even longs for You
For here, my heart
is satisfied
within Your presence
I sing beneath
the shadow of Your wings
Better is one day
in Your courts
Better is one day
in Your house
Better is one day
in Your courts
than thousands elsewhere
One thing I ask
and I would seek
to see Your beauty
To find You in the place
Your glory dwells
And I will cast
my crown before
the throne of heaven
Declare that You
are King above all else
Better is one day
in Your courts
Better is one day
in Your house
Better is one day
in Your courts
than thousands elsewhere
My heart and flesh cry out
for You the Living God
Your Spirit’s water for my soul
I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to You
I will draw near to You
Better is one day
in Your courts
Better is one day
in Your house
Better is one day
in Your courts
than thousands elsewhere
River Of Life
Brothers, sisters
come on down to that river
guaranteed you’ll never be the same
There’s a fountain flowing
from the heart of the Saviour
Bring your sins and all your guilty stains
let that river of life wash it all away
If you’ve been searching
carrying burdens
If you’ve been lost
and looking for a home
If you’ve been drifting
and something is missing
You should know that you are not alone
Oh, come on down to the river, oh
Brothers, sisters
come on down to that river
guaranteed you’ll never be the same
There’s a fountain flowing
from the heart of the Saviour
Bring your sins and all your guilty stains
let that river of life wash it all away
Come as you are
no time to waste
open your heart
don’t be afraid
Jump on in
the water is fine
There’s healing in
in the river of life
Brothers, sisters
come on down to that river
guaranteed you’ll never be the same
There’s a fountain flowing
from the heart of the Saviour
Bring your sins and all your guilty stains
let that river of life wash it all away
One Thing Remains
Your love never fails
it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love
Higher than
the mountains that I face
Stronger than
the power of the grave
Constant in the trial
and the change
One thing remains
one thing remains
Your love never fails
it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love
On and on and on
and on it goes
It overwhelms
and satisfies my soul
And I never, ever
have to be afraid
This one thing, it remains
Your love never fails
it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love
In death, in life
I’m confident and covered by
the power of Your great love
My debt is paid
there’s nothing that can separate
my heart from Your great love
Your love never fails
it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love
Spirit Of The Living God
O Spirit of the living God
Thou light and fire divine
Descend upon Thy Church
once more
And make it truly Thine
Fill it with love
and joy and power
With righteousness
and peace
Till Christ shall dwell
in human hearts
And sin and sorrow cease
Blow, wind of God
with wisdom blow
until our minds are free
From mists of error
clouds of doubt
Which blind our eyes to Thee
Burn, winged fire
inspire our lips
With flaming love
and zeal
To preach to all
Thy great good news
God’s glorious common weal
So shall we know
the power of Christ
Who came this world
to save
So shall we rise
with Him to life
Which soars beyond the grave
And earth shall win
true holiness
Which makes
Thy children whole
Till perfected by Thee we reach
creation’s glorious goal
This I Believe
Our Father everlasting
the all creating one
God Almighty
Through Your Holy Spirit
conceiving Christ the Son
Jesus our Saviour
We believe in God our Father
We believe in Christ the Son
We believe in the Holy Spirit
God is three in One
We believe in the resurrection
When Jesus comes again
For we believe in the name of Jesus
Our judge and our defender
suffered and crucified
Forgiveness is in You
Descended into darkness
You rose in glorious life
Forever seated high
We believe in God our Father
We believe in Christ the Son
We believe in the Holy Spirit
God is three in One
We believe in the resurrection
When Jesus comes again
For we believe in the name of Jesus

Closing Prayer
O God, by the leading of a star
you revealed your Son to the peoples of the earth.
Will you also lead us to your presence
so we too might rejoice in the coming of your Son, the true light.
Fill our hearts with your bright light
that our concern for others may reflect your love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
