Song Lyrics
A Thousand Hallelujahs
[Verse] Who else would rocks cry out to worship? Whose glory taught the stars to shine? Perhaps creation longs to have the words to sing. But this joy is mine.
[Chorus] With a thousand hallelujahs, we magnify Your name. You alone deserve the glory, the honour and the praise. Lord Jesus this song is forever Yours. A thousand hallelujahs, and a thousand more.
[Verse] Who else would die for our redemption? Whose resurrection means I'll rise? There isn't time enough to sing of all You've done. But I have eternity to try.
[Bridge] Praise to the Lord. To the Lamb. To the King of heaven. Praise for He rose. Now He reigns. We will sing forever.
Build My Life
[Verse] Worthy of ev'ry song we could ever sing. Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring. Worthy of ev'ry breath we could ever breathe. We live for You.
[Verse] Jesus the name above ev'ry other name. Jesus the only one who could ever save. Worthy of ev'ry breath we could ever breathe. We live for You. We live for You.
[Chorus] Holy there is no one like You. There is none beside You. Open up my eyes in wonder and show me who You are. And fill me with Your heart. And lead me in Your love to those around me.
[Bridge] I will build my life upon Your love. It is a firm foundation. I will put my trust in You alone And I will not be shaken.
How To Pray: Pause & Worship
Lectio 365
As I enter prayer now, I pause to be still; to breathe slowly, to re-centre my scattered senses upon the presence of God.
Psalm 9 (v.1-2) I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.
(v.9-10) The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, alive though you died, meet with us now, speak to us now, and grant us your peace, both here in these moments of prayer, and throughout the day to come.
Matthew 6:9-13
Pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
‘Father’
1. Patēr: The family founder, nourisher, protector, upholder, patriarch. Matthew 6:9 “Our Father [Patēr] in heaven…
2. Abba: Literally, ‘Papa God’. Mark 14:36 “Abba, Father,” [Jesus] cried out, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
‘Holy’
To ‘cut away’ or to separate from the rest of the crowd. To be extraordinary or to be superior above the crowd
Group Discussion
When you think about our Heavenly Father, do you tend to think of Patēr (strong provider) or Abba (warm & intimate)?
When you spend some quiet time with God, do you find it challenging to slow down and re-centre your scattered senses upon the presence of God.
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.
