come thou fount of every blessing
Traditional Hymn
Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Here by Thy great help I’ve come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
(Precious blood)
Oh, that day when freed from sinning
I shall see Thy lovely face
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace
Come my Lord, no longer tarry
Take my ransomed soul away
Send Thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless days
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Here’s my heart
Oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

we will make no peace with oppression
Paul Zach Publishing
We will make no peace, no peace, with oppression, we will make no peace, no peace.
We will stand against violence of every form.
We will march in the streets, “No Justice, no peace!”
Arm in arm with our neighbor till we all stand free.
Almighty God, give us Your strength.
Cries of our sisters, grieving of our mothers.
We won’t turn away from destructive politicians,
Overflowing prisons, corruptions in our systems.
beautiful things
Gungor
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change, at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found?
Could a garden come out from this ground, at all?
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found, in you
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
Oh, you make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You are making me new
You make me new,
You are making me new
(Making me new)
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us (x2)
You are making me new
You make me new,
God of all forsaken people
Robert Brewer
Some people say that because you have stayed
That you should get all you have earned
Some people say that because you’ve never run away
That you should get all you deserve
But sometimes, sometimes love
Sometimes, sometimes love
Shines just like the stars
And sometimes, sometimes love
Sometimes, sometimes love
Shines like a broken heart
God of all forsaken people,
Stake your claim and raise your steeple
Break your heart over me
God of all the poor and weary,
Maybe one day I’ll see clearly
If you hang your star over me
Hang your star
Over me
Some people say that because you’ve run away
That you will get all you deserve
Some people say that because you are what they hate
That you will get all you have earned
But sometimes, sometimes love
Sometimes, sometimes love
Shines just like the stars
And sometimes, sometimes love
Sometimes, sometimes love
Shines like a broken heart
God of all forsaken people,
Stake your claim and raise your steeple
Break your heart over me
God of all the poor and weary,
Maybe one day I’ll see clearly
If you hang your star over me
Hang your star
Over me
If I only get what I want to get
If I only love what I want to love
Then I’ll never get everything out of love. (repeat 2x)
God of all forsaken people,
Stake your claim and raise your steeple
Break your heart over me
God of all the poor and weary,
Maybe one day I’ll see clearly
If you hang your star over me
Hang your star, (Hang your star, Hang your star)
Over me
canticle of turning
Rory Cooney
That the God of my heart is great
And my spirit sings of the Wondrous things
That you bring to the ones who wait
You fixed your sight on your servant’s plight
And my weakness, you did not spurn
So from east to west shall my name be blest
Could the world be about to turn?
Let the fires of your justice burn
Wipe away all tears for the dawn draws near
And the world is about to turn!
Work great things in me
And your mercy will last from the Depths
Of the past to the end of the age to be
Your very name puts the proud to shame
And to those who would for you yearn
You will show your might
Put the strong to flight
For the world is about to turn
Let the fires of your justice burn
Wipe away all tears
For the dawn draws near
And the world is about to turn!
Not a stone will be left on stone
Let the king beware for your
Justice tears ev’ry tyrant from his throne
The hungry poor shall weep no more
For the food they can never ears
There are tables spread, ev’ry
Mouth be fed
Let the fires of your justice burn
Wipe away all tears
For the dawn draws near
And the world is about to turn!
Who holds us fast
God’s mercy must deliver us from the conqueror’s crushing grasp
This saving word that out forebears
Heard is the promise which holds us bound
‘Til the spear and rod can be
Crushed by God
Who is turning the world around
Let the fires of your justice burn
Wipe away all tears
For the dawn draws near
And the world is about to turn!
