Do not press me, O my friend,Do not try to change my mind,Where you walk I’ll follow steadfast in my stride;To the left or to the right,I will keep you in my sight,Where you lodge every day I will reside. Your people will be my people!Your God will be my God! When you breathe your […]
(Josh 24:14-15;21-24; Jn 10:16; Eph 1:3; 2Cor 5:20; Matt 13:33; Hab 2:14) Fear the Lord; in sincerity and truth go serve HimCast those gods aside your fathers used to spurn HimAnd if it evil seems to bow down and esteemThe One who purchased for the world redemptionFor all my house this day there is no […]

Tune = Somewhere over the Rainbow God’s great plan for the nations Near and far Is to render their kingdoms Under the Saviour’s care.

Sanctimono, when will you come to your senses? Stop sitting on fences, appeasing the crowd; You are a scoundrel in mortal peril of treason Believing your reasoning Heaven’s court will allow. Do your eyes not yearn for the sunrise, Your soul not thirst for the paradise God is making by His shakin’ of this world? […]

Every creature, every cloud displays the glory of the Lord Everywhere God’s secret wisdom can be found There are symphonies of holy sound most ears have […]
A new Psalter for the 21st Century. The Psalms represent the Bible's own library of songs specifically written to be sung as part of private and corporate worship.
