  • To know and be known

    To know and be known

    This journey of life with you

    Is mysterious in every way

    Through the highs and through the lows

    Into the valley, along meandering roads

    Sometimes hidden – sometimes dark

    This is the way that leads to courage

    No place I’d rather be

    Than here in your love

    Trusting you through the unknown

    For you will light the way

    Each and every day

    To stop – to pray, to seek your face

    Father help me to find the way

    To make sense of the call to walk this way

    Where there are no well worn paths

    The rugged road with stoney ground

    Your footsteps by my side

    This is the way – walk in it

    Holding your hand to help and guide

    For I will lead you and never forsake you

    I will be your light in the dark

    There is a way that leads to life

    Sometimes through stormy seas

    Sometimes through the wilderness

    Trust me – for I Am who I say I Am

    The Alpha and Omega

    The beginning and the end

    There are no other gods before me

    I am the one who was – and is – and is to come

    Through the ancient ways I will teach you

    Where tapestry displays the glory of God

    The beauty of God and Christ’s humanity

    Let me teach you more about the sacred way

    How to care for the soul

    How to follow me where others fear to go

    There is an ancient way

    That leads to life

    There is a narrow gate

    A way through to follow me

    Many have lost there way

    And I’ve come that you may know

    The way that leads to life

    I have come that you may know about

    The kingdom of God

    On earth as it is in heaven

    Let me know you

    That you may know me

    For it is in knowing yourself

    That I am known

    And it is in knowing God

    That you are known

    This beautiful dance between us

    This longing to know God

    To be known by God

    Reveals more about who I am

    And more about – who is God?

  • The light of the World has come.

    The light of the World has come.

    The light has come!

    A Saviour born!

    No ordinary birth. 

    A prophetic promise – come to pass!

    What the Old Testament prophets foretold. 

    Oh God of Israel, oh God our Emmanuel 

    For Christ has come. Christ is born. 

    Oh come, oh come to us  

    Oh God, of Israel

    Our God, our Emmanuel!

    One day every eye will see 

    One day every  tongue will confess – that He is Lord. 

    The light of the world has come. 

    A light so much brighter than any star that shines. 

    A light that illuminates and breaks through every chain of darkness. 

    A light that will change the world forever. 

    A light that will illuminate and reveal Christ to us  

    The light of the world. 

    A light that would begin a war to take back everything that’s been stolen. Everything that’s been broken and fractured in our relationship with God. 

    This light would bring Jesus into the world  

     It would bring salvation, healing and restoration  

     It would redeem every broken fragmented piece of our humanity. 

    Making a way for a new creation – a new humanity – a new covenant relationship with God, through Jesus. 

    No greater love is there than this  

    To lay down one’s life for his friends, for the sake of the world. 

    No greater sacrifice 

    No greater love  

    No greater purpose. 

    For the cross has accomplished it all. 

    The light of Christ broke into the world.

    Salvation has come. 

    Death has lost its sting. 

    For the light of the world has come. 

    To overcome the darkness. 

    Christ has come and He will come again. 

    Oh come,  oh come to us, 

    Oh come, oh God of Israel.

    Our God, our Emmanuel!

    The light of the world
