Song Lyrics
10,000 Reasons
[Chorus] Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul. Worship His holy name. Sing like never before O my soul. I’ll worship Your holy name.
[Verse] The sun comes up it's a new day dawning. It’s time to sing Your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me. Let me be singing when the evening comes.
[Verse] You're rich in love and You're slow to anger. Your name is great and Your heart is kind. For all Your goodness I will keep on singing. Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.
[Verse] And on that day when my strength is failing. The end draws near and my time has come. Still my soul will sing Your praise unending. Ten thousand years and then forevermore.
[Ending] Sing like never before O my soul. I’ll worship Your holy name. Worship Your holy name. Worship Your holy name.
Good Good Father
[Verse 1] I've heard a thousand stories, of what they think You’re like. But I've heard the tender whisper, of love in the dead of night. You tell me that You’re pleased, and that I'm never alone.
[Chorus] You're a Good Good Father. It’s who You are. It’s who You are. It’s who You are. And I'm loved by You. It’s who I am. It’s who I am. It’s who I am.
[Verse 2] I've seen many searching for answers, far and wide. But I know we're all searching for answers, only You provide. Because You know just what we need, before we say a word.
[Bridge] You are perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of Your ways to us.
[Verse 3] Love so undeniable I can hardly speak. Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think. As You call me deeper still. As You call me deeper still. As You call me deeper still. Into love love love.
Summer Songs: 32
Psalm 32:1-5
1 Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven [literally: ‘carried away’], whose sin [ḥăṭā’ât] is put out of sight! 2 Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt [NIV: ‘does not count], whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
3 When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. 4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.
5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
Discussion Questions
(first thought that comes to mind) Why are you a Follower of Jesus?
What are the benefits of being a Christ-Follower?
What do you think about verses 13-16 that say we are ‘dust’, here today and gone tomorrow?
Closing Prayer
Loving Father, help me to live this day to the full, being true to you in every way.
Help me to give myself to others, being kind and generous to everyone I meet.
Help me to love those who don’t know you, proclaiming Christ in all I do and say.
Amen.
