Influenced by the view from my window, a trip to the Rockies, and a touch of the Psalms of Ascents (120 - 134)

LORD OF THE MOUNTAIN
LORD OF THE SEA
LORD OF THE STARRY NIGHT
GLORIOUS MYSTERY

LORD OF THE AGES
SON WHO WAS RAISED
HEAVEN DECLARES YOUR JOY
FOREVER YOU'LL BE PRAISED

I will go up, to the mountain of the Lord
Drink of the spring, from the Saviour of my soul
Come let us bow, to our Maker and our God
Cling to the cleft, of our refuge and our rock

Chorus:

I will go up, to the mountain of the Lord
Find wings again, on the eagle of His word
Come let us fly, to the glory of the Son
Stand on the rock, resting on the work He's done

Chorus:

O Lord you've searched me and you know me
You know when i sit and when i rise
No matter where i am or where i'm at
You are familiar with all my ways
That's why i got my soul in you

Before i speak you know it all
You hem me in behind and before
You've laid your hand upon my being
Such wisdom is too big for me
That's why i got my soul in you

where can i go from your spirit ?
where can i flee from your presence ?
up in the heavens, down in the depths
you are there, you are there

O Lord you've scupted my inner being
You knit me in my mother's womb
I thank you for the life you gave
You know exactly just how i'm made
That's why i got my soul in you

When i was made in the secret place
My frame was visible and could traced
When i was woven in the depths of the earth
Your eyes saw me before my birth
That's why i got my soul in you

where can i go from your spirit ?
where can i flee from your presence ?
up in the heavens, down in the depths
you are there, you are there

If i should say darkness will hide me
And the light become night around me
Even the darkness is light to you
The night shines like the day for you

If i rise on the wings of the dawn
Or settle down far across the sea
I'm sure i'd find your guiding hand
Your right hand would be holding me
That's why i got my soul in you
That's why i got my soul in you

All the days that you planned for me
Were written in your book before they came to be
I can't fathom this mystery
But when i awake I'm gonna be free

That's why i got my soul in you
That's why i got my soul in you
That's why i got my soul in you

Holler it anytime, anywhere.

Let not this world, take away my joy
Let not this world, take away my joy
For no one can, ever destroy
The sacred gift, of my Saviour's joy

Let not this pain, take away my peace
Let not this pain, take away my peace
And if it does, bring your sweet release
Let not this pain, take away my peace

Let not this life, bow down to death
Let not this life, bow down to death
Oh breathe on me, your holy breath
Let not this life, bow down to death

Let not this world, take away my joy
Let not this world, take away my joy
For no one can, ever destroy
The sacred gift, of my Saviour's joy
Let not this world - take away my joy

Written By: Samuel Trevor Francis
Music By: Thomas J. Williams

Traditional Welsh hymn that somehow went Spanish/Judaic.

Oh the deep deep love of Jesus
vast unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a might ocean
in its fullness over me,
underneath me, all around me,
is the current of thy love -
leading onward, leading homeward,
to my glorious rest above

Oh the deep deep love of Jesus
spread his praise from shore to shore!
How he loveth, ever loveth,
changeth never, never more.
How he watches o'er his loved ones,
died to call them all his own;
how for them he intercedeth,
watches o'er them from the throne

Not sung - instrumental over this section :
( Oh the deep deep love of Jesus
love of every love the best
still an ocean vast of blessing
still a haven sweet of rest )

Oh the deep deep love of Jesus
'tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me;
and it lifts me up to glory
for it lifts me up to thee

Dedicated to the work of Hope International in developing countries.

Down in the village
Where the water is brown
And the people are surviving
But the sickness brings them down

It's a long way for wood
To carry back there
And the load would be lighter
If we showed we care

HAVE A LITTLE MERCY
SHOW A LITTLE FAITH
OPEN YOUR HEART
TO THE HUMAN RACE
A LITTLE COMPASSION
GOES A LONG WAY
TOUCHES THE HEART
MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY

Trees for the earth
Fish for the pond
Water for the new well
Seed for the farm

Medicine for the doctor
Tools for the trade
Schools for the kids
All because of grace

chorus:

When kindness is shown
Love is made known
Justice prevails
And life overflows

chorus 2x:
