		O Lord, 
		O Lord. 
		 
		O Lord, O Lord, how Majestic You are 
		For You're my refuge and my fortress each day, 
		For under Your Wings stretched out over me 
		I can find safety I can thankfully say. 
		For as I abide under the Shadow of Your Wings 
		Of Your Mercy, Your Love and Your Amazing Grace, 
		I am able by Your enabling to so press on 
		No matter what in life I must face. 
		 
		For Your Truth is indeed my Shield and my Buckler 
		Your Word is my Weapon of War, 
		With which I can go forth Lord into battle 
		To where Your Spirit has gone before. 
		Yes has gone before me to so prepare the Way 
		Along the road that tomorrow I must trod, 
		Life's road that will often be far from easy 
		yet I can endure my Lord and my God. 
		 
		As I know that on it I will not be alone 
		That You my Lord will be there too, 
		To guide my steps lest I lose my way 
		To uphold me as by faith I look to You. 
		In the belief that Lord as I do 
		No matter where life's road may be taking me today, 
		I will never need to face it alone 
		For You are there with me always.

		Amazing 
		Grace ! 
		 
		Lord Your Grace is truly amazing 
		Without we would live in fear, 
		For by Your Grace the veil has been rent 
		And to You we can now draw near. 
		Lord Your gift of Grace, You’ve given in love 
		To all who would receive from You, 
		The hope of new everlasting life 
		For all who would acknowledge You as their Lord too. 
		Lord Your gift of Grace is truly amazing 
		And it is a free gift to all who like me, 
		Have opened their heart to accept You as their Lord 
		                                                                                                                      
		And in so doing have become eternally free.

		God In 
		Love You've Kept Me ! 
		 
		God Your Love has never failed me 
		Even though many times I have failed You, 
		Your Hands of Love encompassed me 
		When I knew not what to do. 
		When I was in the deepest darkness 
		Amidst grief, suffering and pain, 
		I learnt that You were ever close to me 
		To uphold and in Love sustain. 
		Myself my Lord in those darkest times 
		When in the struggles I could not stand 
		Until I learnt to trust in You 
		And never let go of Your Hand. 
		Myself my Lord when I felt weak 
		And cried out unto You, 
		You lifted me up on Your Wings of Love 
		And each day continue to do.

		By 
		Grace Through Faith ! 
		By 
		Grace through faith, we are saved each day, 
		Your Amazing Grace, that shall not fade away. 
		By which Your Love, You can then bestow, 
		On all those who my Lord, would so come to know, 
		You as their risen Lord, as their Christ and King too, 
		By yielding their heart, soul and mind unto You. 
		By Yielding their spirit, to Your Holy Spirit by faith 
		And walk on each day upheld, in Your Arms of Grace.

		We’ve Been Called! 
		 
		We’ve been called, we’ve been chosen 
		We’ve been by Your Amazing Grace 
		Called to serve You Father God faithfully, 
		We’ve been bought for a price 
		A price that only Your could pay 
		Through the Blood of Your Son Christ on Calvary. 
		For He in Love paid for all our sin 
		Now His Holy Spirit dwells within 
		We’ve been redeemed, restored to enter in, 
		Into that place promised by You 
		                                                                                                                       
		To those who are faithful and true 
		                                                                                                                        
		Where we can forever dwell in Your Presence our King.
