Thank God for the medley series on keeping an appropriate focus upon the cross. The congregation was able to be drawn into a time of praise and worship which I believed sincerely reached God at His throne.
May the Lord also bless the time of praise and worship at Cathedral as we reuse some of the following songs.
1. 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
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light
Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight,
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower.
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
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.
2. FILL MY EYES
Fill my eyes, O my God
With a vision of the cross
Fill my heart with love for Jesus the Nazarene
Fill my mouth with Thy praise
Let me sing through endless days
Take my will let my life be wholly Thine
3. TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Give your heart unto Jesus
And worship His glorious name
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
4. IN CHRIST ALONE
In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone
Holy Communion:
5. IT'S YOUR BLOOD
It's Your blood that cleanses me
It's Your blood that gives me life
It's Your blood that took my place
In redeeming sacrifice
Washes me whiter than the snow, than the snow
My Jesus God's precious sacrifice
6. WITHIN THE VEIL
Within the veil
I now would come
Into Thy holy place
To look upon Thy face
I see such beauty there
None other can compare
I worship Thee my Lord
Within the veil
