FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS (Saturday 5pm, Sunday 9am & 5pm)
Forty days and forty nights
you were fasting in the wild,
forty days and forty nights
tempted and yet undefiled.
Let us your endurance shar
and from earthly greed abstain,
with you, watching unto prayer,
with you, strong to suffer pain.
And if Satan on us press
flesh or spirit to assail,
victor in the wilderness,
grant we may not faint or fail.

HOSEA (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
Come back to me with all your heart.
Don’t let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, though straight and tall:
So must we, to others call.
Refrain
Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living deeply our new life.
The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice
with tenderness you shall know. Refrain
You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy. Refrain

PRAISE TO THE HOLIEST IN THE HEIGHT (Saturday 5pm)
Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
In all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways
O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail.
And that a higher gift than grace
should flesh and blood refine,
God’s presence and his very self,
and essence all divine.

I HEARD THE VOICE OF JESUS SAY (Sunday 9am)
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto me, and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast.
”I came to Jesus as I was, weary, worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place and He has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give
the living water: thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live.
”I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched,
my soul revived and now I live in Him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s light.
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise and all thy day be bright.
”I looked to Jesus and I found in Him my star, my sun:
and in that light of life I’ll walk till trav’lling days are done.

OPEN MY EYES LORD (Sunday 5pm)
Open my eyes, Lord. Help me to see your face.
Open my eyes, Lord. Help me to see.
Open my ears, Lord. Help me to hear your voice.
Open my ears, Lord. Help me to hear.
Open my heart, Lord. Help me to love like you.
Open my heart, Lord. Help me to love.
Bridge:
And the first shall be last,
and our eyes are opened,
and we’ll hear like never before.
And we’ll speak in new ways,
and we’ll see God’s face
in places we’ve never known.
I live within you. Deep in your heart, O Love.
I live within you. Rest now in me.

FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS (Saturday 5pm & Sunday 9am)
So shall we have peace divine:
holier gladness ours shall be;
round us, too, shall angels shine,
such as ministered to Thee.
Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by your side,
that with you we may appear
at the eternal Easter tide.

40 DAYS (Sunday 5pm)
Forty days to wander,
forty days to die to self
forty days to grow stronger
as faith breaks open the gates of hell.
The jubilee is over
but grace is far from gone
in the hearts of the faithful
broken on the wheels of love.
Refrain:
'Cause in the desert of temptation
lies the storm of true conversion
where springs of living water drown and refresh you
and as the Jordan pours out change
our true selves are all that remain
where springs of living water
bind and break you
bind and break you.
Forty days to remember
the Paschal Sacrifice.
Forty days to discover
His passion calls us to new life.
The jubilee is over
but mercy's far from gone
in the arms of the Father
as the wayward child comes home. Refrain
