Lay Me Down

With this heart open wide
From the depths from the heights
I will bring a sacrifice

With these hands lifted high
Hear my song, hear my cry
I will bring a sacrifice
I will bring a sacrifice

I lay me down I'm not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down, lay me down

Oh, hand on my heart this much is true
There's no life apart from You
Lay me down, lay me down

Letting go of my pride
Giving up all my rights
Take this life and let it shine, shine, shine
Take this life and let it shine

I lay me down I'm not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down, lay me down

Oh, hand on my heart this much is true
There's no life apart from You
Lay me down, lay me down

Oh
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way
Always

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way
Always

I lay me down I'm not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down, lay me down

Oh, hand on my heart this much is true
There's no life apart from You
Lay me down, lay me down

Oh,
Lay me down, lay me down
Oh
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down

Come Thou Fount

Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Here by Thy great help I've come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

Oh, that day when freed from sinning
I shall see Thy lovely face
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I'll sing Thy sovereign grace

Come my Lord, no longer tarry
Take my ransomed soul away
Send Thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless days

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Here's my heart
Oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Lord I Need You

Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here, I find my rest
Without You, I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand, I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay

Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

You're my one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Lift Up Your Voices (13-15)
• The promise of God is not that He will take us out of difficulty, but that he will take us through difficulties.
• Suffering is often the gym for our spiritual growth.
• Being mature in faith doesn’t necessarily mean that we know what God is going to do, but that we know that God is going to do what He’s going to do!
• It is not fervency or frequency of prayer that renders it effective – it’s the faith in and behind it!

Open Up Vulnerably (16-18)
• Confession is a vital practice of a vulnerable life.
• The God who acted then also acts now!

Help Up The Wanderer (19-20)
• Our knowledge of a wanderer comes with a responsibility to help the wanderer return.
• We must combine the right belief with the right practice.

Lead Me to the Cross

Savior I come, quiet my soul
Remember

Redemption's hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom

Everything I once held dear
I count it all as loss

Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to You
Oh, lead me
Lead me to the cross

You were as I, tempted and tried
You are

The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now You're risen

Everything I once held dear
I count it all as loss

Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to You
Oh, lead me
Lead me to the cross

To Your heart
To Your heart
Lead me to Your heart
Lead me to Your heart

Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to You
Oh, lead me
Lead me

Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to You

Oh, lead me
Lead me to the cross

Sweet Hour of Prayer

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.

In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!

With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.

And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home and take my flight.

This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air,
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!"
