v1 Open up the gates, open up the doors And come together with the glorious king You’re there with open arms when we run to you The father welcoming his children in It makes no difference who we are We’re here today to sing your praise Chorus We gather together for we are one From the east and west we have come We gather together for we are one In the name of Jesus we have come v2 You’re our amazing God, welcoming everyone We come together and it’s your delight No matter who we are, no matter where we’re from Let the party last all night! We’ve heard the calling of your voice So we will make a joyful noise (repeat chorus) We’ve heard the calling of your voice, so we will make a joyful noise It makes no difference who we are, we’re here right now to sing your praise (repeat chorus x2) We are one

He> 03:09
Verse 1 Jesus inspire us to be more like you You who are equal with God You humbled yourself to become fully man Obedient to death on the cross You are lifted high and honoured far beyond Anyone and anything Every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth Declaring that you are the Lord Because you are greater than all Verse 2 We’ll work out our salvation with trembling and fear With Jesus alive in our hearts Children of God in a harsh broken world Living and acting with grace We can shine like stars in the darkness of the sky As we hold firm to his word And we can sing that we did not run in vain Together we’re glad and rejoice Because he is greater than all Bridge In the darkness of the sky we will shine. (x4) Chorus He is greater, he is greater, he is greater than every nation He is greater, he is greater, he is greater than all creation He is greater, he is greater, he is greater than imagination can conceive He is greater, he is greater, he is greater than all

Over All 04:03
v1 Your name is high above all other names Your glory shines for all to see You are the only one the angels praise The stars reflect your majesty Chorus You are Lord over all, over all v2 You came down to earth to show the way And you died so we could live You made the perfect sacrifice So that the Father could forgive v3 Your love is stronger than my mind can know Your mercy’s wider than the sun Your truth is bigger than the atmosphere Your power has beaten death and sin Bridge Lord of Lords, King of Kings, you are over everything You have beaten death and sin with your love

Verse Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I run from your presence? Surely the darkness will hide me? Day turn to night time around me? Bridge Even the darkness is not dark to you Night shines like day as your power breaks through Chorus If I fly in a rocket to space you are there, you are there If I dig down deep underground you are there, you are there If I sail across the ocean you are there, you are there Wherever I go you will be there with me, you are there Repeat verse Repeat bridge Chorus 2 If I fly in a rocket to space you are there, you are there If I dig down deep underground you are there, you are there If I sail across the ocean you are there, you are there If I fly to the distant horizon you are there, you are there Ride my bike in the country you are there, you are there Take a train to see the big city you are there, you are there If I climb to the top of a mountain you are there, you are there Wherever I go you will be there with me Wherever I go you will be there with me You Are there

Joy Comes 04:13
When troubles are hard And the days are long And your children cry out to you in misery But we trust that even though we walk the darkest path Your light will overcome the dark at last Joy comes, joy is coming in the morning Hold on, this too shall pass Dawn breaks after the storm is gone, so hold on This is not how you made us to be Created to be in community But it’s true you’re with us as we walk the darkest path Your light will overcome the dark at last The time will come when we can meet together again And we will praise, we will praise, we will celebrate But until that day we still chose to say That you are king and you are Lord, Lord over all Joy comes, joy is coming in the morning Hold on, this too shall pass One day we will be raised with you in glory We will hold on We will hold on So hold on Hold on

1 Rejoice, the Lord is King! your God and King adore We will give thanks and sing, praise him for evermore Lift up your heart, lift up your voice All God’s children rejoice We will join the angels’ voices All God’s children rejoice 2 Jesus the saviour reigns, the God of truth and love His kingdom cannot fail, he rules both earth and heaven 3 Rejoice in glorious hope! Jesus the Lord shall come And take his servants up to their eternal home

V1 Hello, it’s nice to meet you. I’ve been hoping for some time to get to know you. Seems I was waiting for a long time, but now you’re here I can’t remember life without you. I’ve known you since that wonderful morning But God’s know you since before you were born And in time, I hope that you will know him too Ch Because you were made with love Fearfully and wonderfully with love Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, with love. V2 Esther i say thankyou to God who has miraculously made you And the more I get to know the more I can see his fingerprints upon you I look at you and what do I see? Even though you look quite a lot like me I know you were made in the image of the Father Middle Love the Lord you God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength

1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways: reclothe us in our rightful mind; in purer lives your service find, in deeper reverence praise, in deeper reverence praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea, the gracious calling of the Lord let us, like them, obey his word: 'Rise up and follow me, rise up and follow me!' 3 O sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, when Jesus shared on bended knee the silence of eternity interpreted by love, interpreted by love! 4 Drop your still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of your peace, the beauty of your peace. 5 Breathe through the heats of our desire your coolness and your balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire, speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm, O still small voice of calm!

∴ Go! 05:23
v1 To the corners of the world Take the message to the people There’ll be none who haven’t heard About our omnipotent king Every country, every town Your message changing people’s spirit Every village, every person Soon will come to know that He’s been given all authority in heaven and on earth Ch Therefore Go! Making disciples of all nations, Therefore Go! Baptising in his name Therefore Go! Teaching his people to obey him And he will be with you, he will be with you always To the end of the age v2 He has given us a cause He has given us the courage And he’s sent us on a mission That his story must be told Jesus’ name above all else Transcending borders, crossing oceans All creation genuflecting And worshipping for He’s been given all authority in heaven and on earth
