strangers and aliens – v3

in a sense, all, at one time

strangers and aliens

without the Christ

separated from God

the whole human race

bound up in sin

pulled away by the flesh

estranged by the world

yet God’s grace for all

the gift that Christ gave

the gift He gives still

to know this love

A prayer to see Christ
how he is love
to know this love
his voice in my ear
to know this love
the command to give
to offer his love
as love as we live

Christ in my heart – v2

In the breathing, the beating
the rhythm of my heart
Christ, there indwelling
setting us apart
Show me my path
unbound by my fears
walking in the way
that you would be near

Strengthen me with power

Strengthen me with power
from your Holy Spirit
lead me in right paths
this day, this hour
Show me the way
how I am to live
where I am to serve
how I am to give
Guide me oh Lord
let me feel you near
that I might rise up on wings
not bound by my fears
