God rest ye, merry gentlemen

God rest ye, merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay,
Remember christ our savior was born on christmas day;
To save us all from satans power when we were gone astray.

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavnly father a blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same;
How that in bethlehem was born the son of God by name.

Fear not, then, said the angel, let nothing you afright
This day is born a savior of a pure virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in him from satans power and might."

The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind,
And went to bethlem straightaway this blessed babe to find.

But when to bethlehem they came whereat this infant lay,
They found him in a manger where oxen feed on hay;
His mother mary kneeling unto the lord did pray.

Now to the lord sing praises all you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace;
This holy tide of christmas all others doth deface.

God bless the ruler of this house, and send him long to reign,
And many a merry christmas may live to see again;
Among your friends and kindred that live both far and near--
That God send you a happy new year, happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.

Hark! the herald angels sing,

God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th angelic host proclaim,

Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn king!

(the following verse is not sung on the boney m version)

Verse 2:
Christ, by highest heavn adored:
Christ, the everlasting lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veild in flesh, the godhead see;
Hail, thincarnate deity:
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
Jesus, our emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn king!

Verse 3:
Hail! the heavn-born prince of peace!
Hail! the son of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die:
Born to raise the sone of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn king!

In a cradle in the manger lies the holy boy

The first Noel

The first noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winters night that was so deep.
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel

Verse1:
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel

(the following 4 verses are not sung on the boney m version)

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
(chorus)

This star drew nigh to the northwest,
Oer bethlehem it took it rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where jesus lay.
(chorus)

Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense.
(chorus)

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly lord;
That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
And with his blood mankind hath bought.
(chorus)

The first noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winters night that was so deep.
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel

Do you see what I see

Said the nightwind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see

A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear

A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace oh mighty king
Do you know what I know

A child, a child, shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say

A child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Do you hear what I hear

A child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Listen
Do you hear what I hear

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Chestnuts roasting on a open fire,
Jack frost nipping at your nose.
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed like eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some misletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that santas on his way,
Hes loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,
And every mothers child is gonna spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so, Im offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety two.
Althos its been said many times many ways,
Merry christmas to you.

Mary's boy child

Marys boy child

Marys boy child jesus christ, was born on christmas day.
And man will live for evermore, because of christmas day.

Long time ago in bethlehem, so the holy Bible said,
Marys boy child jesus christ, was born on christmas day.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of christmas day.
Marys boy child jesus christ, was born on christmas day.

While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
They see a bright new shining star,
They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of christmas day.

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace.

Now joseph and his wife, mary, came to bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight.

And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark, marys little boy was born.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of christmas day.
Marys boy child jesus christ, was born on christmas day.

Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace.

Oh my lord

Oh my lord
You sent your son to save us
Oh my lord
Your very self you gave us
Oh my lord
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more

Oh my lord
When in the crib they found him
Oh my lord
A golden halo crowned him
Oh my lord
They gathered all around him
To see him and adore

(this day will live forever)
Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
They had become to doubt you
Oh my lord (he is the truth forever)
What did they know about you
Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
But they were lost without you
They needed you so bad (his light is shining on us)

Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
With the childs adoration
Oh my lord (he is a personation)
There came great jubilation
Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
And full of admiration
They realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my lord (oh praise the lord)
You sent your son to save us
Oh my lord (this day will live forever)
Your very self you gave us
Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more

When a child is born

A ray of hope flitters in the sky
A shiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds have changed whisperin the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy fume settles all around
Youve got the feel youre on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

(spoken)
And all of this happened
Because whe world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyones neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

Its all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

When a child is born

Feliz Navidad

What child is this

What child is this, who lays to rest,
On marys lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring him praise,
The babe, the son of mary.

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh;
Come, peasant king, to own him.
The king of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone him.

This, this is christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring him praise,
The babe, the son of mary.

This, this is christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, oh haste to bring him praise,
The babe, the son of mary.
The babe, the son of mary.

As the deer

My nephew, Darrel, when he was only 4 months loved this hymn, which my brother will sing to him. Personally one of my all time favorites.

As the deer panteth for the water
so my soul longeth after Thee

You alone are my heart's desire

and I long to worship Thee

You alone are my strength, my shield

to You alone may my spirit yield

You alone are my heart's desire

and I long to worship Thee

Trading my sorrows

Darrel Evan's very beautifully tells us to give up all our cares and worries of the world and lay them at the feet of the Lord, and be filled with happiness and Peace everlasting. Here is the hymn along with the chords:

A   D         F#m    E
I'm trading my sorrows
A D F#m E
I'm trading my shame
A D F#m E A D F#m E
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

A D F#m E
I'm trading my sickness
A D F#m E
I'm trading my pain
A D F#m E A F#m E
I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord

A D F#m E
We say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
A D F#m E
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
A D F#m E A D F#m E
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Amen

A D F#m E
I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted but not abandoned
A D F#m E
Struck down but not destroyed
A D F#m E
I am blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure
A D F#m E
That his joy's gonna be my strength
E Esus4 E
Though the sorrow may last for the night
G D
His joy comes with the morning

You are my refuge

You are my refuge, You are my fortress.

You are my friend in need, You are my God.

And I will worship you with all of my heart,

I will seek your face all through my life, I will serve you Lord with all that I am, Here I am..

Here I am O Lord, (3), Here I am

You are my Savior, You are my healer, You are my strength in need, You are my God.

You are my shepherd, You are my comfort, You are my hiding place, You are my God.

Dying you destroyed our death

Dying you destroyed our death,

Rising you restored our life

Lord Jesus (2) come in glory.

Fill my cup

Like the woman at the well I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy:
And then I heard my Savior speaking:
"Draw from my well that never shall run dry".
Chorus
Fill my cup Lord,
I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
There are millions in this world who are craving
The pleasures earthly things afford;
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.

Here I am Lord

I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.

I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?


Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them.
Whom shall I send?

I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will send the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.

Finest bread I will provide,
'Til their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?

Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy on your people,

Christ have mercy on us all,

We have sinned in thought, word and deed Lord,

Have mercy on us all.

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever
I will sing, I will sing.
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD.

With my mouth will I make known
Thy faithfulness, Thy faithfulness.
With my mouth will I make known
Thy faithfulness to all generations.

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever:
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD.

Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost

We're so amazed and we give you praise

For the power of the cross.

Above all

Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Ch:
Crucified laid behind the stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

So exalt

So exalt, lift up on High the name of Jesus.
Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus, the King!
Majesty, worship His Majesty,
Jesus, who died, now glorified,
King of all Kings!

Holy

Holy, holy, holy, Lord of power and Might

Earth Heaven sing Hosanna in Your praise

He is blessed who comes in the name of the Lord

Sing Hosanna in the highest praise the Lord

All of me

All of me not a part but all of me

All the heart and soul of me

Jesus, I surrender

I believe, Lord, help my unbelief

On the altar now I lay all I am today

As I am I come to Thee without one plea

Only that Thy saving blood was shed for me

All of me through the ages yet to be

I surrender Lord to Thee

I surrender all of me

Change my heart

Change my heart O, Lord
Make it ever new

Change my heart O, Lord
May I be like you.

You are the potter,
I am the clay,

Mold me and make me
This is what I pray.

Stand up and Bless the Lord

(Stand up and bless the Lord your God from everlasting to everlasting) *(2)


And blessed be your glorious Name O Lord,
which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

And blessed be your glorious Name O Lord,

Which is exalted (2)

He came from Heaven to earth

He came from Heaven to Earth to show the way,

From the Earth to the Cross my debt to pay

From the Cross to the Grave

From the Grave to the sky,

Lord I lift Your name on High (2)

From this moment

(I do swear that I'll always be there.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
for better for worse, I will love you with
every beat of my heart.)
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

You by my side

You by my side, that's how I see us.
I close my eyes and I can see us.
We're on our way to say "I do".
My secret dreams have all come true.

I see the church, I see the people.
Your folks and mine, happy and smiling.
And I can hear sweet voices
singing "Ave Maria".

Oh my love, my love, this can really be.
That some day you'll walk down the aisle with me.
Let it be, make it be that I'm the one for you.
I'd be yours all yours now and forever.

I see us now, your hand in my hand.
This is the hour, this is the moment.
And I can hear sweet voices singing
"Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria"

Rockin around the Christmas tree

Rocking around the Christmas tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
every couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
and we'll do some caroling.
You will get a sentimental
feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly,
deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
in the new old-fashioned way.

Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer,
Prancer and Vixen,
You know Comet and Cupid,
Donner and Blitzen,
Say, but do you recall
That most important reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They wouldn't let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.

But then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history."
Rock it, Rudolph

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history."

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Come on ring those bells

Everybody likes to take a holiday
Everybody likes to take a rest
Spending time together with the family
Sharing lots of love and happiness.
Come on, ring those bells,
Light the Christmas tree,
Jesus is the king
Born for you and me.
Come on, ring those bells,
Every-body say,
Jesus, we remember
This your birthday.
Celebrations come because of something good.
Celebrations we love to recall
Mary had a baby boy in Bethleham
the greatest celebration of all.
Come on, ring those bells,
Light the Christmas tree,
Jesus is the King
Born for you and me.
Come on, ring those bells,
Every-body say,
Jesus, we remember
This your birthday.

Silent Night

Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace

Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born

Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy Holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth

Silver bells

Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.

City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's
a feeling of Christmas.

Children laughing, people passing,
meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you'll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
soon it will be Christmas day.

City street lights,
even stop lights,
blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home
with their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch,
see the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you'll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
soon it will be Christmas day.

Santa Claus is coming to town

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Go tell it on the Mountains

Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.
Refrain
The shepherds feared and trembled,
When lo! above the earth,
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the Savior’s birth.
Refrain
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessèd Christmas morn.

Give them all to Jesus

Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows?
Are you tired of spinning round and round?
Wrap up all those shattered dreams of your life
And at the feet of Jesus, lay them down.
Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
Shattered dreams, wounded hearts, and broken toys.
Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
And He will turn your sorrows into joy.
He never said you only see sunshine,
He never said there would be no rain.
He only promised a heart full of singing
About the very thing that once brought pain.

My life is in You, Lord

My life is in You, Lord
My strength is in You, Lord
My hope is in You, Lord
In You, it's in You

I will praise You with all of my life
I will praise You with all of my strength
With all of my life
With all of my strength
All of my hope is in You

Shepherd of my soul

Shepherd of my soul, I give You full control
Wherever You may lead I will follow
I have made the choice, to listen to Your voice
Wherever You may lead, I will go

Be it in a quiet pasture, or by a gentle stream
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face a mighty mountain, or a valley dark and deep
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide

You are my love and my light

You are my love and my light
You are my purpose for living
You are my hope in the night
My reason for singing
You bring joy to my life
And you’re making it better and better
Yes Oh! Lord
And I will give thanks forever and ever

We will bless your name for always and ever
And offer up the sacrifice of praise
Teach us Lord we pray
To live in your presence
Make us more and more like you
Everyday

Here we are

Here we are lifting our hands to You
Here we are, giving You thanks for all You do
As we praise, and worship Your holy name
You are here, dwelling within our praise

For every answered prayer
For always being there
For love that hears us when we call
For arms that lift us when we fall
You have always been, right beside us
Leading us all along the way
We made it through (we made it through)
Because of You
Here we are …

For days we cannot see (for days we cannot see)
For all that yet to be (so much is yet to be)
The trials we may have to face
When we'll be leaning on your grace
It will be your strength, that saves us
Your love that makes us strong
And through it all (through it all)
We'll sing this song

Lord I come to You

Lord I come to You,
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I've found in You.
And Lord I've come to know
The weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love.

Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I'll rise up like an eagle
And I will soar with You
Your spirit leads me on
By the Power of Your love

Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As you live in me
And Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day
By the Power of Your love

All that I am, all that I have,
I lay them down before You, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaim
The joy and the pain, I'm making them Yours.

Lord, I offer my life to You,
Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory.
Lord, I offer my days to You,
Lifting my praise to You, as a pleasing sacrifice
Lord, I offer You my life.

Things in the past, things yet unseen,
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true.
All of my hopes, all of my plans,
My heart and my hands are lifted to You.

May God bless this couple

Here they stand hand in hand they’ve
Exchanged wedding bands
Today is the day they’ve sealed all their plans
And all we who know them just wanted t say
May God bless this couple who married today

In good times and bad times in sickness and health
May they know that riches aren’t needed for wealth
Help them face problems they’ll meet on their way
May God bless this couple who married today

May they find peace of mind comes to all who are kind
May the hard times ahead become triumphs behind
May their children be happy and blessed
May God bless this family that’s started today.

Great indeed are your works

Great indeed are your works, O Lord

Lord we know we’ve gone the wrong way,
For you are no more insight,
Lord, we know not what we’re after,
Lord, help us to see the light.

The voice that breathed o’er Eden

The voice that breathed o’er Eden
That earliest wedding day
The primal marriage blessing
It hath not passed away

Be present Heavenly Father
To give away this bride
As Eve Thou gavest to Adam
Out of his own pierced side

Be present Son of Mary
To join their loving hands
As Thou didst bind two natures
In Thine eternal band

There is no God like our God

There is no rock, there is no God like our God;
No other name worthy of all our praise.
The rock of salvation that cannot be moved,
He’s proven Himself to be faithful and true;
There is no rock, there is no God like ours.

Chorus
Rock of Ages, Jesus is the rock.
Rock of Ages, Jesus is the rock.
Rock of Ages, Jesus is the rock.
There is no rock—there is no God like ours.

Father, in my life I see

Father, in my life I see,
You are God who walks with me.

Close beside You I will stand.
I give all my life to You, help me Father to be true!.

Jesus, in my life I see,
You are God who walks with me.
You hold my life in Your hands.
Close beside You I will stand.
I give all my life to You, help me Jesus to be true!.

Spirit, in my life I see,
You are God who walks with me.
You hold my life in Your hands.
Close beside You I will stand.
I give all my life to You, help me Spirit to be true!.

Lord I lift Your name on high

Lord, I lift your name on high
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us


You came from heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high


Lord, I lift your name on high
Lord, of wonder and salvation
With one voice we magnify
God of every generation.

Why me Lord

A beautiful hymn composed by Kris Kristofferson in 1971. You can hear it at
Here are the Lyrics


Why me Lord
What have I ever done to deserve even one,
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord,
What did I ever do that was worth loving you,
For the kindness you've shown.
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so,
Help me Jesus, I know what I am.
But now that I know that I've needed you so,
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hands.
Try me Lord,
If you think there's a way I can try to repay,
All I've taken from you.
Maybe Lord,
I can show someone else what I've been through myself,
On my way back to you.
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so,
Help me Jesus, I know what I am.
But now that I know that I've needed you so,
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hands.
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so,
Help me Jesus, I know what I am.
But now that I know that I've needed you so,
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hands.

Jesus my soul's in your hands.
