Townhead Praise Evening

12th April 2009

Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging;

Your love is a mountain, firm beneath my feet.

Your love is a mystery, how you gently lift me;

When I am surrounded, Your love carries me.

Your Love is Amazing(Chad Estes © 1999 mercy vineyard, CCL Licence No: 964042)

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,

Your love makes me sing



Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising,

All the joy is growing deep inside of me.

Every time I see you,

All Your goodness shines through,

I can feel this God song rising up in me.

Your love is the best love-

A ‘better-than-the-rest’ love

Your love is controlling every part of me.

The great gospel story-

How the King of Glory

Came right down from Heaven just to rescue me.

When I was lost(Miles & Kate Simmonds © 2001 thankyou music, CCL Licence No: 964042)

When I was lost You came and rescued meReached down into the pit

and lifted meOh Lord, such love,

I was as far from You as I could be

You know all the things I’ve ever done

But Jesus’ blood has cancelled every one

O Lord, such grace, to qualify me as Your own

There is a new song in my mouth there is a deep cry in my heart:

a hymn of praise to Almighty God- Hallelujah.And now I stand firm on this Rock

My life is hidden now with Christ in God,The old has gone and the new has come-

HallelujahYour love has lifted meYour love has lifted me

Now I have come into Your family.

For the Son of God has died for me

O Lord such peace,

I am as loved by You as I could be

In the full assurance of Your love

Now with every confidence we come

O Lord, such joy,

to know that You delight in me

There is a new song in my mouth there is a deep cry in my heart:

a hymn of praise to Almighty God- Hallelujah.And now I stand firm on this Rock

My life is hidden now with Christ in God,The old has gone and the new has come-

HallelujahYour love has lifted meYour love has lifted me

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken

I’m accepted, You were condemned

I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me

Because you died and rose again.

Amazing love, how can it be That you, my King, should die

for meAmazing love, I know it’s true

It’s my joy to honour You-In all I do, I honour You.

Sheila and Fraser

Ephesians 3And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high,

and how deep his love is.

Romans 8And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us

from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing

in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our

Lord.

Chris,Al and lor

Father, hear my prayerI need the perfect wordsWords that he will hear

And know they're straight from You

I don't know what to sayI only know it hurts

To see my only friendSlowly fade away

So maybe this timeI'll speak the words of

LifeWith Your fire in my eyesBut that old familiar fearIs tearing at my wordsWhat am I so afraid of

'Cause here I go againtalking ‘bout the rain

And mulling over thingsThat won't live past todayAnd as I dance around the

truthTime is not his friendThis might be my last

chanceTo tell him that You love

himBut here I go again, here I

go again

Lord, You love him so:You gave Your only Son

If he will just believehe will never die

But how then will he know

What he has never heard?

Lord, he has never seen mirrored in my life


LifeWith Your fire in my eyesBut that old familiar fearIs tearing at my wordsWhat am I so afraid of?


And mulling over thingsThat won't live past todayAnd as I dance around the

truthTime is not his friendThis might be my last

chanceTo tell him that You love

himBut here I go again, here I

go again


LifeWith Your fire in my eyesBut that old familiar fearIs tearing at my wordsWhat am I so afraid of?


And mulling over thingsThat won't live past today

And as I dance around the truthTime is not his friend

This might be my last chance to tell him that You love him



You love himYou love him

What am I so afraid…What am I so afraid…

What am I so afraid of?

How then will he knowWhat he has never

heard?

I’ve heard it said...

………………

How many times has he broken that promise?

It has never been done.

I never climbed

the highest mountain…

But I walked the hill of calvary!

Just to be with you, I'd give anythingI would give my life away.

Just to be with you, I'd do anything

There's no price I would not pay

I’ve heard it said...

All of those dreams are an empty emotion

It can never be done.

I’ve never swam the deepest

oceans…

…But I walked

upon the raging sea!

Just to be with you, I'd give everythingI would give my life away.

Just to be with you, I'd do anything

There's no price I would not pay

I know that you don't understand

the fullness of My love

How I died upon the cross for your sins

And I know that you don't realiSe how much that I

gave you But I promise, I would do it all again.

Just to be with you, I've done everything

There's no price I did not pay

Just to be with you, I gave everythingYes, I gave my life away.

Ephesians 3May you experience the love of Christ, though it is

too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and

power that comes from God.Romans 8

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have

trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with

death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so.

Little ones to Him belong; They are weak, but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

Jesus Loves Me(Anne B Warner and William Bradbury © Public Domain, CCL Licence No: 964042)

Jesus loves me! See His grace! On the cross He took my place. There He suffered and He died,

That I might be glorified.


Jesus loves me! God's own Son Over sin the vict'ry won.

When I die, saved by His grace, I shall see Him face to face.


How deep the Father’s love for us(Stuart Townsend © 1995 thanyou music, CCL Licence No: 964042)

How deep the Father's love for us

How vast beyond all measureThat He would give

His only SonTo make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss

The Father turns His face awayAs wounds which

mar the chosen OneBring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a crossMy sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffersIt was my sin that

held Him thereUntil it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anythingNo gifts, no power,

no wisdomBut I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrectionWhy should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answerBut this I know

with all my heartHis wounds have paid my ransom

See Him resplendent on His throne

The sons all brought to gloryShout “Hallelujah to the Lamb”

And sing redemption’s story.And all creation stands in awe-

The wretch is now God’s treasure

By grace alone, through faith alone

In Christ alone forever

Over the mountains and the sea

Your river runs with love for me,

And I will open up my heart

And let the healer set me free.

I’m happy to be in the truth

And I will daily lift my hands for I will always sing

of when Your love came down, yeah.

I could sing of Your love forever.

I could sing of your love forever(Martin Smith © 1994 Curious, CCL Licence No: 964042)

You chose the cross (Martin Layzell © 2002 thankyou music, CCL Licence No: 964042)

You chose the cross with every breathThe perfect life, the perfect death,

You chose the crossA crown of thorns You wore for usAnd crowned us with eternal life,

You chose the crossAnd though Your soul was overwhelmed with

painObedient to death You overcame

I'm lost in wonder, I'm lost in loveI'm lost in praise for evermore

Because of Jesus' unfailing loveI am forgiven, I am restored

You loosed the chords of sinfulnessAnd broke the chains of my disgrace, You

chose the crossUp from the grave victorious

You rose again so glorious, You chose the cross

The sorrow that surrounded You was mine"Yet not my will but Yours be done" You cried.

I'm lost in wonder, I'm lost in loveI'm lost in praise for evermore

Because of Jesus' unfailing loveI am forgiven, I am restored
