O Lord, you have searched me and known me
You know when I sit down and when I rise
O Lord, you have searched me and known me
You know when I sit down and when I rise
Where can I go from your spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea
Even there your hand shall lead me
Your right hand shall hold me fast

Jesus had no place to rest his head
Jesus had no place to rest his head
Without a house and without a bed
Jesus had no place to rest his head
Jesus said come follow me
Jesus said come follow me
Share what you have with those in need
Jesus said come follow me
Jesus sees the hurt and tired
Jesus sees the hurt and tired
With Mary and Martha he sat and cried
Jesus sees the hurt and tired
Jesus loves the meek and low
Jesus loves the meek and low
All who have no place to go
Jesus loves the meek and low
Jesus washed his disciples feet
Jesus washed his disciples feet
Taught us how to serve, and to follow his lead
Jesus washed his disciples feet
Jesus says come follow me
Jesus says come follow me
Make a place at the table for my children to eat
Jesus says come follow me
Jesus had no place to rest his head
Jesus had no place to rest his head
Without a house and without a bed
Jesus had no place to rest his head

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and do not forget all his benefits--
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the Pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
Bless the LORD,
O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name.
who satisfies you with good
as long as you live
so that your youth is renewed,
renewed like the eagle's.
The LORD works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed.
Bless the LORD,
O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

We don’t know how to pray
don’t know how to say grace
When our neighbors are hungry
And we don’t know how to pray
Don’t know how how to say grace
God, reach out and fill
God, reach out and fill
God, have mercy
Christ, have mercy

My Shepherd will supply my need,
Jehovah is his name;
in pastures fresh he makes me feed,
beside the living stream.
He brings my wand'ring spirit back.
when I forsake his ways;
and leads me, for his mercy's sake,
in paths of truth and grace.
When I walk through the shades of death,
Thy presence is my stay;
one word of thy supporting breath
drives all my fears away.
Thy hand in sight of all my foes,
does still my table spread;
my cup with Blessings overflows,
thine oil anoints my head.
The sure provisions of my God
attend me all my days;
oh, may that house be mine abode,
and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest,
while others go and come;
no more a stranger, nor a guest,
but like a child at home.

In the morning before the sun rises
The world lays in silence
And everything seems still
In the evening, the stillness is motion
The moon rocks the ocean
Lullubaby of the whippoorwill
In each days’ coming, a new world is humming
When our footsteps’ drumming
Is tuned to your heartbeat
In our going, God, teach us to follow
And breathe your love all over
Sun, and moon, and sea.
And in this ordinary time
Shape our hearts and change our minds
Teach us how to love like you
Who are making all things new
And when we lose our way,
When we wander astray,
God, find us with your grace
In this ordinary time
In our resting, renew and restore us
And then set before us
All that you’d have us do
And in this ordinary time
Shape our hearts and change our minds
Teach us how to love like you
Who are making all things new
And when we lose our way,
When we wander astray,
God, find us with your grace
In this ordinary time

O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me.
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of your love
Leading onward, leading homeward
Leading forth in your wondrous love
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Still holds us in its changeless tide
There is peace that knows no measure
Hope that through every age abides
With your love within us, your love before us,
Your love beneath us and above
Jesus, lead us onward, lead us homeward
Lead us forth in your wondrous love.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
In its fullness rolling over me
O the deep, deep love
O the deep, deep love

God find us, find us with your hope
God find us, find us with your hope
When in despair we lose our way
Like the sheep that’s gone astray
God find us, find us with your hope
God lead us, lead us with your truth
God lead us, lead us with your truth
Through the storm and through the calm
Give us strength and lead us on
God lead us, lead us with your truth
God spark us, spark us with your joy
God spark us, spark us with your joy
In the laughter of the trees
In the dancing of the breeze

In the face of war and fear
Give us courage, draw us near, then
God send us, send us with your peace

Now, on land and sea descending,
brings the night its peace profound.
Let our vesper hymn be blending
with the holy calm around.
Soon as dies the sunset glory,
stars of heav’n shine out above,
telling still the ancient story
their Creator’s endless love.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!
Now, our wants and burdens leaving
to our God who cares for all,
cease we fearing, cease we grieving;
touched by God our burdens fall.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!
As the darkness deepens o’er us,
lo! Eternal stars arise.
Hope and faith and love rise glorious,
shining in the Spirit’s skies.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!

In you, O LORD, I take refuge;

Be to me a rock of refuge,
a strong fortress, to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
Rescue me, O my God,

The mighty one, God the LORD,
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God shines forth.
Be hallow’d this and ev’ry day;
let meekness be our morning ray,
And faithful love our noon-day light
Our hope, our sunset, calm and bright.
O Lord, with each returning morn
Thine image to our hearts is borne
Oh may we ever clearly see
Our Savior and our God in thee.

Christ who left his home in glory,
And upon the cross was slain,
Now is ris’n! O tell the story
That the Savior lives again.
Glory, sing Gloria; glory, sing Gloria. Glory, sing Gloria, oooh.
While the world in peace was sleeping,
Early on that Easter day
Came the faithful women, weeping,
But the stone was rolled away.
Hail to the One, God’s only son, Jesus, Redeemer.
Hail to the one who conquered death and sin.
Hail to the One, God’s only son, Jesus, Redeemer.
Highest praises now we sing.
