Centering Prayer

I wanna be where my feet are

I wanna breathe the life around me

I wanna listen as my heart beats, right on time

I wanna be where my feet are

I chase my worries

I flee my sorrows

But what you give me is now

So take my burdens

And my tomorrows

I wanna be where my feet are

I wanna breathe the life around me

I wanna listen as my heart beats, right on time

I wanna be where my feet are

I run to capture

The next horizon

But what you give me is here

I get no farther

And still I find you

I wanna be where my feet are

How Can I Keep From Singing - Audrey Assad

Verse 1
My life flows on in endless song
Above earth’s lamentations
I hear the sweet though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation

Chorus 1
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear that music ringing
It finds an echoes in my soul
How can I keep from singing

Verse 2
What though my joys and comforts die
The Lord my Savior liveth
What though the darkness gather round
Songs in the night He giveth

Chorus 2
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing

Verse 3
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart
A fountain ever springing
All things are mine since I am His

How can I keep from singing

Chorus 2
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing

The Love of God

Verse 1

The love of God is greater far

Than tongue or pen can ever tell

It goes beyond the highest star

And reaches to the lowest hell

The guilty pair bowed down with care

God gave His Son to win

His erring child He reconciled

And pardoned from his sin

Chorus

O love of God, how rich and pure

How measureless and strong

It shall forevermore endure

The saints' and angels' song

Could we with ink the ocean fill

Verse 2

And were the skies of parchment made

Were every tree on earth a quill

And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above

Would drain the ocean dry

Nor could the scroll contain the whole

Though stretched from sky to sky

Chorus (x2)

O love of God, how rich and pure

How measureless and strong

It shall forevermore endure

The saints' and angels' song

Song of Blessing

May God give you eyes to see

All that is good

The courage for anything

May you be strong

May God give you ears to hear

Their loving voice

Speaking all around you

All around

And deep inside

Your Labor Is Not In Vain - The Porter’s Gate

Verse 1

Your labor is not in vain

though the ground underneath you is cursed and stained

Your planting and reaping are never the same

But your labor is not in vain

Verse 2

Your labor is not unknown

though the rocks they cry out and the sea it may groan

The place of your toil may not seem like a home

but your labor is not unknown

Refrain

I am with you, I am with you

For I have called you, called you by name

Your labor is not in vain

Verse 3

The vineyards you plant will bear fruit

the fields will sing out and rejoice with the truth,

for all that is old will at last be made new

the vineyards you plant will bear fruit

Refrain

I am with you, I am with you

For I have called you, called you by name

Your labor is not in vain

Verse 4

The houses you labored to build

Will finally with laughter and joy be filled.

The serpent that hurts and destroys shall be killed

And all that is broken be healed

Refrain
