We have an anchor

Verse 1
Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?
Chorus
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.
Verse 2
Held secure by faith, in the Saviours hands
Shielded by his grace, on Christ we stand
He is Lord of all, we should never doubt
Through uncertain times, He is solid ground
Chorus
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.
Verse 3
You have carried us, through the raging sea
In the fire and flood, we stand redeemed
Through the storms of life, you will not let go
This our confidence, that our anchor holds
Chorus
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.

We have heard a joyful sound (He Saves)
We have heard a joyful sound Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings all around Jesus saves!
Bear the news to every land
Climb the steeps and cross the waves
Onward! ‘tis our Lord’s command
Jesus saves!
He saves, he saves Christ Jesus is alive
His cross, and grave become our victory cry
He saves, he saves be reconciled to God
Tell the nations Jesus saves
Sing above the battle’s strife Jesus saves!
By his death and endless life Jesus saves!
Sing it softly through the gloom
When the heart for mercy craves
Sing in triumph o’er the tomb Jesus saves!
Give the winds a mighty voice Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free
Highest hills and deepest caves
This our song of victory Jesus saves!

Holy Father Rich in Mercy
Holy Father rich in mercy
Holy Saviour rich in grace
Great in glory everlasting
How I long to see your face
Lead me to your new creation
Lead me to your throne of love
Giving glory to the Father
To the Spirit and the Son
Giving glory to the Father
Giving glory to the Son
Giving glory to the Spirit
The blessed three in one
Jesus Christ our risen Saviour
Shepherd of the weak and lost
Author of our great salvation
Through the power of the cross
Lead from glory into glory
Safely held by arms of love
So to dwell with you forever
Bringing praises to our God
Holy Spirit breath of heaven
Make me holy through your word
Break the chains of sin’s destruction
Fix my eyes upon you Lord
When I wander from your safety
When I wander from your truth
Draw me back to my Redeemer
Through the Holy fire of God

I will say my God is glorious
Into a world so bruised by sin
Came the Saviour Christ the Lord
Speaking out God’s word of hope
To heal the broken and the lost
The blind now see, the deaf now hear
The dead are raised at his command
But greater still, Christ took my sin
And I will glory in the cross
I will say my God is glorious
The Christ who died for me
I will say my God is glorious
The Lamb of Calvary
He bore my guilt, my condemnation
Hidden in Christ my sin is gone
I will say my God is glorious
The Lamb upon the throne
Come see him walk towards the cross
A battle won in every stride
As cruel nails were driven home
The wrath of God upon him lay
Buried with him my guilt and shame
No condemnation now I dread
For even death, has lost it’s sting
When from the grave Christ rose again
No name is higher, no love is deeper
No God is greater than Christ my Saviour
All power and glory, he is deserving
With saints and angels I bow and I will
say…

Be Merciful
Be merciful oh God of grace
Show us the brightness of your face
That you redeemed church may shine
In this dark world with light divine
That light divine oh let it spread
Till all the darkness shall have fled
This fallen world’s dark fading ray
Be lost in the bright of day
Oh church arise and proclaim
The glory of his name
Let the nations sing
Of Christ the risen King
Reveal oh Lord your saving plan
To all the families of man
Let distant nations hear your word
Let every people praise the Lord
Let them with joy your praises sing
Earth’s righteous Judge and sovereign
King
Directed by your holy word
Let all the nations praise the Lord
Then shall this barren world assume
New beauty and the desert bloom
Our God shall richly bless us then
And all men fear his name Amen
