One Thing I Ask (Hangad)

One thing I ask:
To dwell in the house of the Lord all my days,
To gaze on His goodness
And walk in His ways.

He will shelter me;
He will be my strength.
In the triumph that He brings me
I can hold my head high.

In His house I shall lift up my voice.
I will sing, I will praise the Lord.

Setting: Hangad (Philippines)

Sanctuary

Lord prepare me, to be a sanctuary,
Pure and holy, tried and true.
And with thanksgiving, I'll be a living,
Sanctuary for you.

Sing a New Church

Summoned by the God who made us
rich in our diversity
Gathered in the name of Jesus,
richer still in unity.

Refrain: 

Let us bring the gifts that differ
and, in splendid, varied ways,
sing a new church into being,
one in faith and love and praise.

Radiant risen from the water,
robed in holiness and light,
male and female in God’s image,
male and female, God’s delight. (Refrain)

Trust the goodness of creation;trust the Spirit strong within.
Dare to dream the vision promised,
sprung from seed of what has been. (Refrain)

Bring the hopes of every nation;
bring the art of every race.
Weave a song of peace and justice;
let it sound through time and space. (Refrain)

Draw together at one table,
all the human family;
shape a circle ever wider
and a people ever free (Refrain)

Father Welcomes All His Children

Refrain:

Father welcomes all his children
to his family through his Son.
Father giving his salvation,
life forever has been won.

1. Little children, come to me,
for my kingdom is of these;
life and love I have to give,
mercy for your sin. (Refrain)

2. In the water, in the word,
in his promise be assured:
those who are baptised and believe
shall be born again. (Refrain)

3. Let us daily die to sin,
let us daily rise with him —
walk in the love of Christ our Lord,
live in the peace of God. (Refrain)

He Has Made Me Glad (I Will Enter His Gates)

I will enter his gates with
thanksgiving in my heart
I will enter his courts with praise
I will say this is the day that the
Lord has mad
I will rejoice for he has made me glad

He has made me glad
He has made me glad
I will rejoice for he has
made me glad (2x)

Umenifunulia mbingu (Na kunibubujikia)
(Mbingu)
Oh, send Your rain...

Tunavyomsifu Bwana, Aleluia
Tunavyombariki jina lake, Aleluia
Twakuabudu mtakatifu
Twakuobudu walio wahuru
Twakuabudu mbwoji wako
Umenifunulia mbingu na kunibubujikia

This is the way we praise the Lord, Hallelujah
This is the way we bless His name, Hallelujah
We worship You on this holy mountain
We worship You in the land of the free
We worship You from the flowing fountain
Open the heavens and rain on me
Open the heavens and rain on me

Surely the Presence of the Lord

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place;
I can feel his mighty power and his grace.
I can hear the brush of angesls' wings,
I see glory on each face;
surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
