Rekindle
The Fire !
Rekindle the Fire of my first Love
That it may burn with holy fear,
With true reverence unto You my Lord
Every moment throughout the year.
Rekindle the Fire of my first Love
May it be my strong desire,
To love You with all my heart and soul
As daily You take me higher.
Rekindle the Fire of my first Love
May no other love compare,
To keep Your Face ever before my eyes
This Lord is now my prayer.
Rekindle the Fire of my first Love
May that Fire never go out,
And as to Your Sovereignty in every event
May I never question or doubt.
Rekindle the Fire of my first Love
In my life amidst all that I face,
That I may bring the due honour to You
As an expression of Your Mercy and Grace.
Rekindle the Fire of my first Love
The Love Lord that comes from You,
May this Love be expressed daily in me
Amidst all that I say and do.
Rekindle the Fire of my first Love
May I never fear to share,
Your Goodness Lord to all who believe
And how for them You do so care.
Rekindle the Fire of my first Love
That I may testify each day,
Of Your Love O Lord that is ever sure
You're the Life, the Truth, the Way.

We Will Stand Lord !
We will stand, we will stand,

Amidst life's trials, Your Word of Hope

The Stone That The Builders Rejected !
The Stone that the builders rejected,
Is indeed both sure and strong,
As the Sure Foundation, our Chief Cornerstone
How could they have been so wrong.
The Stone that the builders rejected
Is
Jesus Christ our Lord and King,
Our Everlasting Strength, our Sure Foundation
He is our Everything.
The Stone that the builders rejected
Shall support us wherever we go,
Amidst life's storms and turmoil's
Each day as we continue to grow.
The Stone that the builders rejected
Long ago when Jesus walked the earth,
Broke the power of sin and death at Calvary
Everlasting Life was birthed.
The Stone that the builders rejected
Is alive today and shall forever be,
Our Strength, our Shield, our Guide each day
From now and for eternity.

As We Seek and Wait On You Jesus !
As we seek and wait on You Jesus,
Our strength is renewed each day,
As we wait on You Jesus Christ our Lord,
All hopelessness flees away.
As we seek and wait on You Jesus,
And look to You as our only Hope,
Are we able to face life’s ups and downs,
As Lord You help us to cope.
As we seek and wait on You Jesus
And praises unto You do we sing,
Can we then soar high in the Heavenlies,
Mounted upon eagles wings.
As we seek and wait on You Jesus
And soar high in the Heavenlies with You,
Are we able to cope with all that we face,
That Lord You take us through.
As we seek and wait on You Jesus,
A new Joy displaces all fear,
As You are Lord in every situation
And with us You're ever so near.

Deeper Into You, My LORD !
My Lord many times I've doubted You
Many times I've questioned Your ways
Many
times I've wondered if indeed You're real
When I've seen what I've seen some days.
Yet all the time something within me
When of You I've been unsure,
Has thankfully told me to nonetheless hold on
To trust in You each day more and more.
To trust in You Lord no matter what
Or how things to me may appear,
To trust that even when I feel all alone
That in fact You're ever so near.
As I have learnt was such over the years
As I have pondered along my life's way,
As I heard from You speaking to my being
While on my journey day by day.
For which reason Lord from deep in my heart
I give thanks that You are very real,
And that You've stood by and upheld me
No matter how I so happened to feel.
At those times when I questioned You
When in my mind I could not understand why,
You a God of Love would allow to happen
What I was seeing right before my eyes.
Yet then I realised that with me You wept
You bore the grief and the pain too,
Amidst the anguish that in life I was facing
Amidst what life took me through.
Then amidst all of that You out of Your True Love
Gave me glimpses of Hope along the way,
And brought into my life new meaning new joy
As You carried on me day by day.
When in my weakness I could no longer
Under the load still be able to stand,
Let alone walk along life's winding road
If it had not been for Your Caring Hand.
Your Hand of Love stretched out to me
Thankfully amidst all I've been through,
That has given me Hope and greater determination
To Lord press deeper into You.

At The End Of The Tunnel !
The Light at the end of the tunnel
A Light that seems far away,
Is what has enabled me in my life
To press on regardless every day.
Regardless of the fact that all around
Has been confusion, pain and despair,
Unable to fathom within my being
Why for me God does indeed care.
Though at times my faith has wavered
When things I could not understand,
When the Light seemed to fade into darkness
When I seemed to let go of His Hand.
Then again He brought to me glimpses
Of the Light that has given me Hope,
New Hope to again press on regardless
To hold His Hand when unable to cope.
With the many ups and downs of my life
With its demands I was forced to embrace,
I thank You Lord that this I'm able to endure
Due to Your Love, Your Mercy and Your Grace.
Thanks to the fact that in Your Love
You Lord daily so care for me,
Even when I through all the darkness
Struggle myself to clearly see.
The Light of Hope beyond the darkness
That shines much brighter each day
The causes the darkness to gradually lesson
And so to in time fade away.
For which Lord Jesus I want to thank You
For this Hope Christ You've given to me,
A Hope of Light and Life Everlasting
Knowing one day I'll forever be free.
