The Spirit and the Bride

This song by Matt Maher talks about the Lord’s great love and how we can always find refuge in Him. It is well suited to be sung during praise and worship sessions or during a gospel rock concert.

Here are the lyrics:

The Spirit and the Bride

For all the thirsty in need of the river
For all the sleeping hearts waking from their slumber
For everyone still standing at the shoreline, come

For all the hurting souls running from their healer
For all the skeptics running from an answer
Let everyone who hears these words say come

For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come

For all the Pharisees, empty on the inside
For all the lovers who spent their love on a lie
For the forgotten, the Father's heart says come

For all the fatherless looking for approval
For all the daughters who've never heard they're beautiful
Let everyone who hears these words say come

For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come
For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come

Amen, amen
Come, Lord Jesus, come again
Until then, until then
Grace and peace be ours, amen
Amen, amen
Come, Lord Jesus, come again
Until then, until then
Grace and peace be ours, amen
Till You come again
Peace be ours, amen
Till You come again
Till You come again

For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come
For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come

God Will Make A Way

A song of hope and trust which serves as a reminder of God's unfailing, unconditional love. It is written by Don Moen.
We were taught this song in school. many years ago, by our wonderful music teacher, Mrs. EP. This song has stayed with me ever since. A song to lift you up when you're feeling low and at other times, remind you of 'His' unfailing love.

Here are the lyrics :

God Will Make A Way

God will make a way

Where there seems to be no way

He works in ways we cannot see

He will make a way for me

He will be my guide

Hold me closely to His side

With love and strength for each new day

He will make a way, He will make a way

Oh, God will make a way

Where there seems to be no way

He works in ways we cannot see

He will make a way for me

He will be my guide

Hold me closely to His side

With love and strength for each new day

He will make a way, He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness, He'll lead me

And rivers in the desert will I see

Heaven and Earth will fade but His Word will still remain

And He will do something new today

Oh, God will make a way

Where there seems to be no way

He works in ways we cannot see

He will make a way for me

He will be my guide

Hold me closely to His side

With love and strength for each new day

He will make a way, He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness, He'll lead me

And rivers in the desert will I see

Heaven and Earth will fade but His Word will still remain

And He will do something new today

Oh, God will make a way

Where there seems to be no way

He works in ways we cannot see

He will make a way for me

He will be my guide

Hold me closely to His side

With love and strength for each new day

He will make a way, He will make a way

With love and strength for each new day

He will make a way, He will make a way

Table of Plenty

Lyrics >> Audio >> Downloads

This hymn titled "Table of Plenty" is composed by one of my favorite church music composers, Dan Schutte. The hymn has such a chirpy and vibrant vibe to it! It has very meaningful lyrics and a perfectly accompanying melody.
It's been a while now that I've  have been wanting to teach the kids from the children's choir the same. But I've always been skeptical about it, since it's not-so-easy a tune, especially when the choir breaks into voices.

Children's Choir

This year our parish priest gave the Chidren's Choir an opportunity to sing for the Maundy Thursday service. The kids were so very excited and motivated and their excitement rubbed onto me as well! I finally mustered the courage to teach them the hymn.

The trick to conquering a problem , is breaking it into smaller bits, and solving them one at a time and that is exactly what I did. I initially thought I'd have them sing  the chorus in unison, and have a soloist do each of the verses. However, they were so eager to learn, and so enthusiastic about it that they actually sang it exactly as is done in the track  below! What a proud moment that was, to see them so involved in their singing! Above is a picture of the choir, during the practice session just before mass.Thank you E for this picture!

Here are the lyrics

Table of Plenty 

Ch : Come to the feast of heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.

O come and sit at my table
where saints and sinners are friends.
I wait to welcome the lost and lonely
to share the cup of my love.

O come and eat without money;
come to drink without price.
My feast of gladness will feed your spirit
with faith and fullness of life.

My bread will ever sustain you
through days of sorrow and woe.
My wine will flow like a sea of gladness
to flood the depths of your soul.

Your fields will flower in fullness;
your homes will flourish in peace.
For I, the giver of home and harvest,
will send my rain on the soil.
