Tip of my Tongue

If my life is a song

I must be singing it wrong

Cause the beat in my head

Isn’t the trail my feet tread

 

Like words on a screen

I just parrot what I’ve seen

Cause the world’s chorus is loud

And I’m just a voice in the crowd

 

So the music in my soul

Isn’t the melody in control

And harmony is hard to find

When there’s just ruckus in my mind

 

But I am fighting the lost time

Listening for the rhyme

Cause though the song hasn’t been sung

It’s on the tip of my tongue

A Call to Worship (2)

Come, cause death and pain abound

Come, cause stress and worry surround

Come, cause the world has gone hard

Come, cause sin has left us scarred

Come, cause life can make us blind

Come, cause darkness clouds the mind

Come, cause what we fail to see

Is God, and love, and the world that was meant to be

So tonight…

Come, for the kingdom of God is near

Come, for love banishes all fear

Come, for peace runs like a river

Come, for even angels quiver

Come, for we gather to worship tonight

Come, for we gather to celebrate light

Come, for sin has lost the fight

Come, for God is making things right

Come, for death no longer stings

Come, for winter will give way to spring

Come, for the slain Lamb to whom we sing

Is risen, is here, is King.

Salvation’s Seed

Seed of love, seed of light

Seed of hope that makes things right

Small but real, salvation’s seed

Of redemption and peace for a world in need

Believe, believe, repent and believe

Hellish world, it’s yours to receive

This child, this God, planted in your night

Maybe small and dim, but in the darkness bright

See that salvation’s seed is small

But can be planted in us all

Seed of love and seed of light

Grow in us til there is no night.

Call To Worship

So much to do, if you only knew
The to-do lists, and second shifts

Be still my soul, God is near

Meetings to make, Leaves to rake
Kids to drive, and dinner by five

Be still my soul, God is near

Noise in my mind, and time I cannot find
There is life to do, if you only knew

Be still my soul, God is near

Church done by 8, it better not run late
There is homework to write, I need this night

Be still my soul, God is near

An hour I am giving, but then I must go on living
For with out me, the world would cease to be

Be still my soul, God is near

Be still my soul, for God is near
Be still my soul, and do not fear
Be still my soul, for God is HERE.

So do not worry, and do not hurry
For time is in His hands
And tonight is in His plans

Just be still my soul, For God is Here.

Come, and let your soul be still
For there are chains and pains that kill
But Freedom in His Will
So come, lay down the bonds that bind
And worries that fill the mind
And in the stillness find

That God is here.

The Creator of all things
And King of all Kings
To Whom angels sing

God is here

Yahweh, All in All
Redeemer of the Fall
Who Whispers when He calls

God is here

The One full of Light
Who gives blind souls sight
And makes all things right

God is here

To the One who sits upon the throne
Yet has made Himself known
And calls us His own

This God is here

Our God is here
So let us draw near
And into heaven peer

And as we see the angels gathered round
And listen to their heavenly sound
In this chorus may we too be found
