CITY OF GOD (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
Awake from your slumber, arise from your sleep
a new day is dawning for all those who weep.
The people in darkness have seen a great light.
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.
Refrain:
Let us build the city of God.
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our love,
has turned the night into day!
We're sons of the morning, we are daughters of day.
The One who has loved us has brightened our way.
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be
a light for His people to set their hearts free. Refrain
God is light; in Him there is no darkness.
Let us walk in His light, His children, one and all.
O comfort my people; make gentle your words.
Proclaim to my city the day of her birth. Refrain

BEATITUDES (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven;
blessed are the gentle,
for they shall possess the land.
Blessed are they
that hunger and thirst after justice;
blessed are they
that suffer gladly for justice’ sake.
Blessed are they that mourn,
for they shall be comforted;
blessed are the clean of heart,
for they shall see God.
Blessed are you
when they revile and harm you;
and speak all evil
against you untruly for my sake.
Blessed are the merciful,
for mercy they will find;
blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called God’s children.

A NEW COMMANDMENT (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
A new commandment I give unto you,
that you love one another as I have loved you,
that you love one another as I have loved you.
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples,
if you have love one for another.
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples,
if you have love one for another.

SHOUT TO THE LORD (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
My Jesus, my Saviour, Lord there is none like You;
all of my days, I want to praise the wonders of Your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength;
let every breath, all that I am never cease to worship You.
Refrain:
Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing
power and majesty, praise to the King;
mountains bow down and the seas will roar
at the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand,
nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH (Sunday 9am)
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.
With God as our father, brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.
With every step I take, let this be my solemn vow:
to take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.

GO MAKE A DIFFERENCE (Sunday 5pm)
Refrain:
Go make a diff’rence.
We can make a diff’rence.
Go make a diff’rence in the world.
Go make a diff’rence.
We can make a diff’rence.
Go make a diff’rence in the world.
We are the salt of the earth, called to let the people see
the love of God in you and me.
We are the light of the world,
not to be hidden but be seen.
Go make a diff’rence in the world. Refrain
We are the hands of Christ reaching out to those in need,
the face of God for all to see.
We are the spirit of hope; we are the voice of peace.
Go make a diff’rence in the world. Refrain
So let your love shine on, let it shine for all to see.
Go make a diff’rence in the world.
And the spirit of Christ will be with us as we go.
Go make a diff’rence in the world. Refrain
