Lead Me to the Rock

Chorus
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,
When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock
That is higher than I.

For thou hast been a shelter for me,
And a strong tower from the enemy.
I will abide in thy tabernacle forever:
I will trust in the covert of thy wings.

Chorus

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:
Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
So will I sing praise unto thy name forever,
That I may daily perform my vows.

Chorus

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

O Give Thanks Unto the Lord
Music by: Robert Collister
Words: Psalm 107: 1-2, 5-6, 8-9, 20, 42-43

Chorus
O Give Thanks Unto the Lord, for he is good:
For his mercy endureth forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

Hungry and thirsty their soul fainted in them.
Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
And he delivered them out
Of their distresses.

Chorus

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness.
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
For he satisfieth the longing soul,
And filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

He sent his word, and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.
The righteous shall see it, and rejoice.
Whoso is wise, and will observed these things,
Even they shall understand
The loving kindness of the Lord.

Chorus

O Give Thanks Unto the Lord,
For his mercy endureth forever.

Praise Ye the Lord.
Oh give thanks unto the Lord;
Alleluia, for he is good: Alleluia,
For his mercy endureth forever.

Serve the Lord with gladness:
Come before his presence with singing.

It is he that hath made us and not we ourselves.

We are his people,
And the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving:
And into his courts with praise:
Be thankful unto him,
And bless his name.

For his mercy endureth forever.

The Lord’s Prayer
Music by: Robert Collister
Words Matthew 6: 9-13

Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil:
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
And the glory forever.

The Twenty Third Psalm
Music by: Robert Collister
Words: The Bible

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths of his righteousness
For his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me all the days of my life:

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Trust in the Lord
Music by: Robert Collister
Words: Proverbs 3: 1-6, 11-14

My son, forget not my law:
But let thine heart keep my commandments:
For length of days, and long life,
And peace, shall they add to thee.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:
Bind them about thy neck;
Write them upon the table of thine heart:
So shalt thou find favor and good understanding
In the sight of God and man.

Chorus
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
And lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
And he shall direct thy paths.

My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord;
Neither be weary of his correction:
For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth;
Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
And the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better
Than the merchandise of silver,
And the gain thereof than fine gold.

Chorus

And he shall direct thy paths.

Unto a Perfect Man
Music by: Robert Collister
Words: Ephesians 4: 1, 7, 13-14, 22, 24, 5: 14

I therefore beseech you,
That ye walk worthy of the vocation,
Wherewith ye are called.

But unto everyone of us is given grace
According to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
And of the knowledge of the son of God,
The knowledge of the son of God,
Unto a perfect man.

That we henceforth be no more children,
Tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
By the sleight of men,
Whereby they lie in wait to deceive.

Chorus
Put off the old man, put on the new man,
Which after God is created in righteousness.
Put off the old man, put on the new man,
Which after God is created in true holiness.

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest.
And arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Chorus

Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
Unto a perfect man.
