O God Beyond
All Praising

Verse 1
O God beyond all praising,
We worship You today
And sing the love amazing
That songs cannot repay;
For we can only wonder
At every gift You send,
At blessings without number
And mercies without end:
We lift our hearts before You
And wait upon Your word,
We honour and adore You,
Our great and mighty Lord.Verse 2
Then hear, O gracious Saviour,
Accept the love we bring,
That we who know Your favour
May serve You as our king;
And whether our tomorrows
Be filled with good or ill,
We’ll triumph through our sorrows
And rise to bless You still:
To marvel at Your beauty
And glory in Your ways,
And make a joyful duty
Our sacrifice of praise.

O God, You Search Me

Verse 1
O God, You search me and You know me
All my thoughts lie open to Your gaze
When I walk or lie down
You are before me
Ever the maker and keeper of my daysVerse 2
You know my resting and my rising
You discern my purpose from afar
And with love everlasting You besiege me
In ev’ry moment of life or death, You areVerse 3
Before a word is on my tongue, Lord
You have known its meaning
through and through
You are with me
beyond my understanding
God of my present, my past and future tooVerse 4
Although your spirit is upon me
Still I search for shelter from Your light
There is nowhere on earth
I can escape you
Even the darkness is radiant in Your sightVerse 5
For You created me and shaped me
Gave me life within my mother’s womb
For the wonder of who I am I praise You
Safe in your hands
All creation is made new

Then Sings My Soul

Verse 1
Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed
When through the woods
And for­est glades I wan­der
And hear the birds
Sing sweet­ly in the trees
When I look down
From lof­ty moun­tain gran­deur
And hear the brook
And feel the gen­tle breezeRefrain
Then sings my soul
My Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
(x2)Verse 2
And when I think
That God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die
I scarce can take it in
That on the cross
My burden gladly bearing
He bled and died
To take away my sin
When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And then proclaim
My God, how great Thou art

Praise Her With A Flower

Verse 1
Who wipes my tears away?
Who melts my frown?
Who always saves my day?
The one who wears the crown.Thank you for granting things
For our answered prayers
And for the hope you bring
To many who are in their dark despair.Refrain
Praise her with a flower
Thank heaven for our Mother
For her gift of love
Sent from up above
Brightens every hourFrom the highest tower
Shower her with flowers
Mother and a friend
From my grateful hands
Accept my humble flowerVerse 2
On paper written lines
Express our needs
You always have the time
For every colour, race and creed.Our faith has brought us here
From far and near
In one united voice
We thank you for your blessings
Through the years.
