Come to the Lord, come rejoice with me

come to the Lord and you will surely see

how He is gracious, how He is merciful

how He welcomes sinners, just like you and me

* * *

Day by Day the Lord understands your needs

Day by Day His Holy Spirit leads

Day by Day He hears your every prayer

and Day by Day he keeps you in His care

Every day He gives you a brand new start

every day He comes to touch your heart

every day He frees you from your sin

and every day He breathes new life within

Come what may, He`ll hold you in His palm

Come what may, He`ll rescue you from harm

Come what may He`ll walk along your way

and come what may He`ll love you Day by Day.

Give yourself time to nourish your soul

give yourself time to make yourself whole

Give yourself time to spend with the Lord

open your heart to His love and His Word

Spend time with God in your secret place

where you will know His love and His grace.

God`s Lament

O, my children, what are you doing to me?

Breaking my heart, tearing me apart.

Jesus, my precious child you have defiled,

Jesus, my precious boy, you still destroy

O, my children, my lovely ones, what are you doing to me?

Turn back, come home, no more to roam.

I long to see your face, to shower you with my grace,

for I love you with a love which is everlasting and totally forgiving.

O, my children, my lovely ones, what are you doing to me?

Breaking my heart, tearing me apart.

Hear My Prayer, Father God

As I rest in the stillness I feel Your presence

in the shelter of Your wings I know Your protection, Father God

When my soul is troubled, when my heart is hurting

surround me with the deep peace which comes from You, Father God

I need the touch of Your hand to heal and restore my soul,

to love and comfort me, to hold me close, Father God.

Father God, hear my prayer.

I turn to You, O Lord, when I am low

I turn to You, O Lord, for there is nowhere else to go,

no-one else will ever know all my emptiness and woe.

From the deepest darkest depths of my despair,

I cry to You O Lord,

are You there. are You there, are You there?

When sorrow o`erwhelms me like a mighty flood,

I cry to You, O Lord,

are You there, are You there, are You there?

Hide me in the shelter of Your presence,

surround me with Your gentle loving arms,

for You are my God.

And it`s only at Your feet I know I`ll find

true peace of heart and soul and mind,

for You, You are my God.

Listen to me, my child. Have no fear,

for I am the Lord, Your God. I will be with you.

I will pour out my love upon you,

for I am your Comforter and Saviour.

I will hold you in the safety of my arms

and never, no never forsake you.

Listen to me, my child. Have no fear,

for I am the Lord, your God. I will be with you.

I turn to You, O Lord, when I am low

I turn to You, O Lord, for there is nowhere else to go,

no-one else will ever know all my emptiness and woe.
