First Free Church Prayer Service: April 21, 2002

"Come, Let Us Worship and Bow Down"
Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the Lord,
Our God, our Maker. (repeat)
For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand,
Just the sheep of His hand.

"As We Gather"
As we gather may Your Spirit work within us,
As we gather may we glorify Your name.
Knowing well that as our hearts begin to worship,
We'll be blessed because we came. (repeat line)

"I'm Forever Grateful"
You did not wait for me to draw near to You,
But You clothed Yourself with frail humanity.
You did not wait for me to cry out to You,
But You let me hear Your voice calling me.
And I'm forever grateful to You,
I'm forever grateful for the cross.
I'm forever grateful to You,
That you came to seek and save the lost.

"Be Thou My Vision"
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought by day or by night,
Walking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true Word.
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not nor man's empty praise.
Thou mine inheritance now and always.
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun.
Heart of my own heart whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

"Doxology"
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him, all creatures here below.
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
