BENEATH THE SOUTHERN CROSS

From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.

From north and south, from east and west,
beneath the Southern Cross we rest.
Found by One who came for all,
in this tale of spacious love we’re born.

From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.

This, the land on which we stand,
this holy ground made by God’s hand,
marred and scarred yet marked by grace,
held and healed, in Christ we find our place.

From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.

God, our hope, our life, our heart,
come break our differences apart.
Strangers once now called as one,
every soul awake to greet this love!

From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.

CALLED TOGETHER

Called together, we’ve taken the dare,
to commit to a destiny shared,
diff’rent, diverse we may be,
but we see God’s plan for history:
a world reconciled and renewed!

This is God’s call, this is God’s way,
that we might show the light of God’s day,
divided world, uniting grace,
we live the signs of Christ in this place.

Called together, this journey we’re on
is the way of the Crucified One.
Justice and love are our song,
with those on the edge, we belong,
declaring God’s love is for all!

This is God’s call, this is God’s way,
that we might show the light of God’s day,
divided world, uniting grace,
we live the signs of Christ in this place.

Pilgrim people, the road is our call,
Spirit led, trav’ling light, risking all.
Paths of the past keep us true,
while fresh words and deeds spring anew
in worship and witness and care!

This is God’s call, this is God’s way,
that we might show the light of God’s day,
divided world, uniting grace,
we live the signs of Christ in this place.

And in God’s hands our future rests,
our hope is there in God’s faithfulness.
We live this gift, this blessed road,
this unity: the household of God!

COME WALK WITH ME

Come walk with me, when life seems old.
Come walk with me when nights grow cold.
I need to know the warmth of human hearts
and see the love of God unfold.

Come sit with me, there’s little hope.
Come sit with me, help me to cope.
I need to hear the words of comforting;
the simple love that Jesus spoke.

I do not know where the pathway leads.
I need a steadying hand.
I am confused, beaten, battle sore.
Stay with me, help me understand.

Come pray with me when I’m in pain.
Come pray with me when griefs remain.
I need the presence of the One who knows
and sees the journey through again.

Come sing with me when days are sweet.
Come sing with me of life complete.
’Til all the world can sing along with us
the song of grace and love and peace.

There may be seasons of sorrowing.
Journeys of joy, slips of pride.
Blessings and brokenness taken up
by the One who walks at our side.

Worship with me the God of grace.
Worship with me in fond embrace.
We know that love endures all, heals us all,
for we have seen the Saviour’s face.

FEARLESS GOD

Fearless God, protect me,
by your Spirit’s pow’r, direct me.
By your death, Jesus connect me
to the life that never dies.

When there’s danger, hide me,
in the land of darkness, guide me.
Won’t you come and live beside me
ev’ry day and ev’ry hour.

In the winter and the summer,
in the heat and in the cold,
be in ev’ry time and season,
when I’m young and when I’m old.

Faithful God, remind me
you’re ahead and you’re behind me.
Like a shepherd, Jesus, find me
in the desert, in the night.

When I’m broken, hold me,
with your patient skill, remold me.
Won’t you constantly enfold me
on the new and perfect way.

In the winter and the summer,

GOD, THE GREAT MYSTERY

God the great mystery, source of our trust,
ground of our being and shaper of dust,
elusive presence to whom we belong,
heartbeat and rhythm, both singer and song.

Through all this borrowed life we seek your face,
listening with wonder and mapping each trace,
burning bush, still small voice, manna and quail,
all gifts and signs that your love will prevail.

Jesus, the Word, human child and divine,
we are the branches and you are the vine,
speak to us still of this imminent grace,
“I’m in you, you’re in me, here in this place!”

Great Spirit pulsing through heaven and earth,
heart always beating with signs of new birth,
loving us, lifting us, twisting us round,
’til all our songs with compassion resound.

God, take our minds, hearts and souls to your own,
live in us, breathe in us, through us be known,
gather your world in your wondrous embrace
’til all is love, mercy, goodness and grace.

GOD WILL NOT FORGET YOU

Can the wind forget to blow, the tree forget to sway?
Can the sun forget to rise to start another day?
Will the bird forget to sing, the bee forget to fly?
Will a branch forget the tree, a cloud forget the sky?

God will not forget you in the dark of night.
When you cannot see the path, God will be your light.
God will not forget you when the day is long.
In the lonely, silent hour God will be your song.
God will not forget you.
God will not forget you.

Can the stars forget to shine, the moon forget to glow?
Can the planets all forget the way they have to go?
Even if the world we see should change before our eyes –
temperatures forget to fall, the seas begin to rise.

God will not forget you in the dark of night.
When you cannot see the path, God will be your light.
God will not forget you when the day is long.
In the lonely, silent hour God will be your song.
God will not forget you.
God will not forget you.
