Prayer and Petition

God, I confess, 

I'm a mess

I fail and I fall,

Hardly follow You at all

I stumble and grumble,

Forgetting the humble

Path that You trod

I plod

And for Your mercy, plead

Help me to see

A glimpse of Your glory,

Where I fit in Your story

Where You want me 

To go, who to be

Help me to hear

Your voice so clear

Help me to feel

You are real,

Your goodness taste

So that I won't waste 

One more second

Call to me, beckon

So I can touch

The edges of Heaven

Learn from the Lord

The one who betrayed Christ
Called Him teacher, not Lord
Great regret was his due
We cannot afford
To see Christ only as wise
And betray His glory and worth
For He is the holy Son of God
The Saviour of the whole earth
Though it is good to learn from Him
For He sinlessly walked among us
Humbly take up His gentle yoke
And find the peace of Jesus
And with a childlike faith, you will see
More than the wise and scholarly

Be Transfigured

"Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God,"

Spoke Peter, by our Heavenly Father's revelation

Later he saw Christ's face shine like the sun

And robed in radiant light

On the sacred mountain of transfiguration 

Moses and Elijah appeared among them 

Then from a bright cloud, they heard this sound:

"This is My Son whom I love. Listen to Him."

Overcome by the majestic glory of God,

Peter, James and John fell prostrate on the ground

That which the disciples beheld and heard,

They freely proclaimed "God is light"

Through Him they saw mercy and truth,

And God's presence, as their confessed sins

Were cleansed by the atonement of Christ

Delight Yourself In the One Who Delights In Us

Delight yourself in

The good God has done

He rescued us from bondage

Through Jesus Christ, His Son

Rejoice and boast in the Lord

For He has delivered us

So we can enter His kingdom

Because He's accepted us

Find joy in the Almighty

Call upon God at all times

Delight in the law of the Lord

Meditate on it day and night

What an inheritance we have!

Glory in God and His salvation

Shout for joy and be glad

For His servants will see vindication

Feast upon the Lord's abundance

Drink deeply from the river that flows

He will grant you the desire of your heart

And faithfully show where to go

Great are the works of the Lord

Ponder His laws, don't depart

Nor neglect His decrees, for He 

Counsels those with tender hearts

The Lord is compassionate

He saves us in our affliction

When trouble and distress come

Delight in God's vows, with conviction

Fear the Lord, and put your hope 

In His love that ever prevails

He rewards the humble with vict'ry 

Our Father corrects when we fail

Delight in wisdom

And be without blame,

Be worthy of trust

Lest you bring to God shame

For His love is 

Sweeter than wine

Rejoice and praise Him

Taste His goodness sublime

We are the ones in whom He takes pleasure 

To show mercy to, though He is just 

Bring reverence and honour to God 

Who sings songs of joy over us
