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 share
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.

GOD OF MERCY AND COMPASSION (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
God of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me;
Father, let me call Thee Father, ‘tis Thy child returns to Thee.
Refrain
Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy;
let me not implore in vain;
all my sins, I now detest them,
never will I sin again.
By my sins I have deserved death and endless misery;
hell with all its pains and torments, and for all eternity. Refrain
By my sins I have abandon’d right and claim to heaven above,
where the saints rejoice for ever in a boundless sea of love. Refrain
See our Saviour, bleeding dying on the cross of Calvary;
to that cross my sins have nail’d Him, yet He bleeds and dies for me. Refrain

BE WITH ME, LORD (Saturday 5pm)
Refrain
Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble,
be with me, Lord, I pray.
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, most high,
who abide in the shadow of our God,
say to the Lord, “my refuge and fortress,
the God in whom I trust.” Refrain
No evil shall befall you, no pain come near,
for his angels stand close by your side,
guarding you always and bearing you gently,
watching over your life. Refrain
Those who cling to the Lord live secure in the His love,
lifted high those who trust in His name.
Call on the Lord, He will never forsake you,
He will bring you salvation and joy. Refrain

REFRESH MY HEART (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
Refresh my heart, Lord, renew my love,
pour Your Spirit into my soul,
refresh my heart.
You set me apart, Lord, to make me new,
by your Spirit, lift me up, Lord,
refresh my heart.
Refrain
And I will worship You, Lord,
with all of my heart,
and I will follow You, Lord,
refresh my heart. (Repeat)

IN CHRIST ALONE (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
scorned by the ones He came to save.
‘til on that cross as Jesus died
the wrath of God was satisfied.
For every sin on Him was laid
here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay,
light of the world by darkness slain;
then bursting forth in glorious day,
up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
for I am His and He is mine
bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life,no fear in death,
this is the power of Christ in me;
from life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from His hand;
til He returns or calls me home,
here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

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
