Prelude

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own,[b] and his own people[c] did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[d] from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.[e] 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
John 1:1-17 (ESV)

There's a Light
05:47
|
|||
|
I see a child lying in a manger
In the sky a star is shining bright
I hear angels singing hallelujah
Behold here lies the King of Light
There’s a man calling us to listen
The kingdom of God is now at hand
He preached of love and grace and mercy
When will we ever understand?
There’s a Light shining in the darkness
And the darkness can never overcome
He is Life, the Light of all mankind
A glorious Light that shines for everyone
I see a man dying on a cross
All my sin and shame He made His own
For my freedom He gladly paid the cost
The King of Light who sits upon the throne
There’s a Light shining in the darkness
And the darkness can never overcome
He is Life, the Light of all mankind
A glorious Light that shines for everyone
If you have questions, if you are searching
If there’s a yearning deep down inside
Let me lead you to my Lord Jesus
He is the answer, He is the Light
And the Light is shining in the darkness
And the darkness can never overcome
He is Life, the Light of all mankind
A glorious Light that shines for everyone

Need
04:37
|
|||
|
Walking down the street, see the people rushing around
Don’t care about anyone else, too busy to look around
I see the beggar on the corner, no one stops to give him a dime
There’s no love for one another, and that’s when I realised
This town needs Jesus, He is the only solution
This town needs Jesus, we need a spiritual revolution
This town needs Jesus, share His love with everyone
This town needs Jesus, Father let Your kingdom come
This town needs Jesus
Sitting watching the news, another war another tragedy
People killing other people, there’s so much pain and agony
The poor are getting poorer while others bleed the land
So many people suffering, why can’t we all lend a helping hand?
This world needs Jesus, He is the only solution
This world needs Jesus, we need a spiritual revolution
This world needs Jesus, share His love with everyone
This world needs Jesus, Father let Your kingdom come
This world needs Jesus
Do we really care for the suffering and despair?
We must learn to reach out, we have to learn to care
I hang my head in shame, cos I’m just as much to blame
Change my heart oh God so I can reach out in the name of Jesus
We all need Jesus, He is the only solution
We all need Jesus, we need a spiritual revolution
We all need Jesus, share His love with everyone
We all need Jesus, Father let Your kingdom come
We all need Jesus

Jesus is Alive
05:19
|
|||
|
There lived a man
They called Him the Christ
There lives a most amazing man
The way, the truth and the life
All the people ran to see Him
All searching for the Light
He healed the lepers
And He made the blind man see
He raised people from the dead
And He set the sinners free
But the people turned against Him
And they nailed Him to a tree
Well there came a mighty thunder
At the breaking of the day
When the Father reached down from above
And He rolled the stone away!
He’s alive, He’s alive!
Lay down your heavy burdens
Cos Jesus is alive
Well you won’t see it in the papers
You won’t see it on tv
But the power that raised Him from the dead
It’s in You and it’s in me
He’s alive, He’s alive!
Lay down your heavy burdens
Cos Jesus is alive
Lay down your heavy burdens
Cos Jesus is alive
Lay down your heavy burdens
Cos Jesus…
He’s alive

Our Father
03:13
|
|||
|
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
For ever and ever, amen!
For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
For ever and ever, amen!
Amen!

I Know
05:17
|
|||
|
This world it can be so distracting
My heart seems to twist and twist and turn
Some days I don’t know what to believe anymore
So many voices in my head telling me just what to do
But when I hear Your voice instead I find a life that’s true
I know that my God is always faithful
I know that He’s forgiven me and set me free
I know that His love and grace surround me
And He’ll be by my side every day and night, eternally
I know
This world has got nothing left to offer
My heart, it belongs to God alone
Deep down I desire to follow Jesus always
So many voices in my head telling me just what to do
But when I hear Your voice instead I find a life that’s true
I know that my God is always faithful
I know that He’s forgiven me and set me free
I know that His love and grace surround me
And He’ll be by my side every day and night, eternally
I know, I know

Like a Child
06:34
|
|||
|
When I was a child I was pure in heart and mind
As the years went past, I left childlike ways behind
When I learned of Jesus, I knew I’d found the way
I wanted to be more like Him every single day
So I read the Holy Bible, every single word
I got to know Him more, with everything I’d learned
But knowledge and wisdom failed to light the flame
Instead I found something that knowledge can’t explain
Like a child I must become humble
Like a child I’ll draw near to Him
Like a child I’ll enter the kingdom
Like a child I’m free of sin
As a child there is understanding
As a child I’m born again
As a child I will find greatness
But I must become like a child again
And so began my journey on the straight and narrow road
I wanted to follow Jesus along the path that I must go
So I filled my mind and soul with God’s Holy Word
But I wrapped myself in law until the truth became a blur
I thought I knew it all because of everything I’d read
I thought I knew the way, but I had been mislead
When everything seemed clear, that’s when I failed to see
A simple truth, so profound, it drags me to my knees
Like a child I must become humble
Like a child I’ll draw near to Him
Like a child I’ll enter the kingdom
Like a child I’m free of sin
As a child there is understanding
As a child I’m born again
As a child I will find greatness
But I must become like a child again
Like a child I must become humble
Like a child I’ll draw near to Him
Like a child I’ll enter the kingdom
Like a child I’m free of sin
As a child there is understanding
As a child I’m born again
As a child I will find greatness
But I must become like a child again
Like a child
I must be born again

Coming Home
05:27
|
|||
|
Flying high, my head above the clouds
I couldn’t see where I was going
Then came the fall, how could I be so blind
My foolishness has left me nothing
Father I’m coming back to You
I’m tired of being alone
Jesus, I turned my back on You
Please forgive me
I’m coming home
Silver and gold, here today and gone tomorrow
I had my priorities all wrong
Never again will I trust in mammon
I’m going home where I belong
Father I’m coming back to You
I’m tired of being alone
Jesus, I turned my back on You
Please forgive me
I’m coming home
My treasure on earth has corroded
And stands as a witness against me
From now on my treasure is in heaven
Where no rust, moth or thieves can take from me
Father I’m coming back to You
I’m tired of being alone
Jesus, I turned my back on You
Please forgive me
I’m coming home

You're All I Need
04:13
|
|||
|
Been running for my life, been running for my soul
Cos it’s easier than giving up control
Don’t wanna sacrifice, don’t wanna let it go
Even though this life is taking its toll
But I find peace in one place only, I find peace in You
Can I throw away my life and turn away from the world?
Can I give up all the things I hold so dear?
Can I count it all as nothing, because You are all I need?
You’re all I need
Everything’s so dark, everything’s so cold
When I take my only love out of the fold
But still I follow on, still I push on through
Cos it’s easier than turning back to You
But I find peace in one place only, I find peace in You
Can I throw away my life and turn away from the world?
Can I give up all the things I hold so dear?
Can I count it all as nothing, because You are all I need?
You’re all I need
Can I find my way back home although I’ve wandered oh so far?
Can I ever show my face to You again?
Can I find the strength and courage to say You are all I need?
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
But I find peace in one place only, I find peace in You
I find peace in one place only, I find peace in You
Yes I’ll throw away my life and turn away from the world
Yes I’ll give up all the things I hold so dear?
Yes I’ll count it all as nothing, cos You are all I need
You’re all I need
You’re all I need
You’re all I need
You’re all I need

Lamb of God
05:09
|
|||
|
There was a voice crying in the wilderness
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
The kingdom of God is now at hand
Make straight your paths and listen to the Word
Have you heard? Have you heard?
The Son of God came among us as a man
The Spirit came upon Him like a dove
He came to reach out to the lost and broken
He healed the sick and suffering with His love
From God above, from God above
He was betrayed by the one He knew as friend
He was mocked and scourged and crucified
Blameless He hung upon the cross
In triumph breathed His last and then He died
Please tell me why, please tell me why
On the third day, just before the sunrise
The earth shook and the stone was rolled away
God’s awesome power raised Christ from the grave
We are saved, we are saved
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
You are worthy
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
You are holy
Jesus Christ the lamb of God is risen
His love for us so great He gave His life
All you have to do is to believe
That God loved us so much He paid the price
We have life, eternal life
On the third day, just before the sunrise
The earth shook and the stone was rolled away
God’s awesome power raised Christ from the grave
We are saved, we are saved
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
You are worthy
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
You are holy

This is Real Love
04:44
|
|||
|
I have journeyed and strived, I have wrestled and tried
To find peace in the midst of my sin
I have searched the world through, and found this to be true
That our God can redeem anything
He is slow to anger and quick to forgive
He is rich in mercy and wondrous grace
He laid down His life, the great sacrifice
To wash away all of our stains
He poured out His grace and died in our place,
And forgives us again and again
This is real love... this is real love
So come just as you are, every stain every scar
And lay it all down at His feet
Come and drink from the well, and hear people tell
Of His mercy and His love oh so sweet
He is slow to anger and quick to forgive
He is rich in mercy and wondrous grace
He laid down His life, the great sacrifice
To wash away all of our stains
He poured out His grace and died in our place,
And forgives us again and again
This is real love... this is real love
This is real love... this is real love
He laid down His life, the great sacrifice
To wash away all of our stains
He poured out His grace and died in our place,
And forgives us again and again
This is real love... this is real love
This is real love... this is real love

Saviour Jesus
07:08
|
|||
|
Far far away, beyond the galaxies
The God of all the world sat on His throne
All creation trembled at His mighty name
The most glorious king the world had ever known
This God, indescribable
This God, unreachable
Then one glorious day, a child was born
A humble boy who grew into a man
And in the hills of Galilee He changed the world
With love and with forgiveness in His hand
This man, God in human skin
This man, saves us from our sin
He walked on water, He calmed the thunder
He caused the sun to rise and fall
He touched the lepers, and healed the sinners
And He died for one and all
And though there’s darkness all around us
He’s the Light that shines within
Son of man, Son of God, Saviour Jesus
Deep in my heart there’s an emptiness
I’ve tried and tried again to fill it in
But nothing seems to last more than a day or two
And then I feel deserted all again
But this man, this man from Galilee
He can, He can comfort me
He walked on water, He calmed the thunder
He caused the sun to rise and fall
He touched the lepers, and healed the sinners
And He died for one and all
And though there’s darkness all around us
He’s the Light that shines within
Son of man, son of God, Saviour Jesus
So come to the cross and see the nails
The God of all the universe lying still
The sins of all the world piled upon Him there
The prophecies of ages all fulfilled
And now, we’re no longer condemned
And now, our God became our friend
He walked on water, He calmed the thunder
He caused the sun to rise and fall
He touched the lepers, and healed the sinners
And He died for one and all
And though there’s darkness all around us
He’s the Light that shines within
Son of man, son of God, Saviour Jesus
