Lord we are weak and frail, helpless in the storm

Surround us with Your angels

Hold us in Your arms

Our cold and ruthless enemy

His pleasure is our harm

Rise up, O Lord, and he will flee

Before our Sovereign God

Let every creature in the sea & every flying bird

Let every mountain, every field,

And valley of the earth

Let all the moons and all the stars

In all the universe

Sing praises to the living God

Who rules them by His word

Peace On Its Feet

Some things are worth the fight

So I won't walk away

I won't walk away this time

Your majesty as plain as day

But you choose the small and weak

So I can can say that

My joy is my peace on its feet

Your spirit makes us

All the same underneath

You help me believe help me believe in you

Poor Wayfaring Stranger

I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger,

Gm Dm

Travelin' through this world of woe.

There's no sickness, no toil, nor danger,

Gm A7 Dm

In that fair land to which I go.

Bb F

I'm goin' there to see my mother.

Bb F A7

I’m going home no more to roam.

I am just going over Jordan

Gm A7 Dm

I am just going over home.

I know dark clouds will gather round me,

I know my pathway is rough and steep

But golden fields out before me

Where weary eyes no more will weep

I'm going home to see my father

I'm going home no more to roam

I am just going over Jordan

I am just going over home

I'll soon be free from earthy trial

This form will rest beneath the sun

I'll drop the cross of self-denial

And enter in that home with God

I'm going home to see my saviour

Who spilt his precious blood for me

I am just going over Jordan

I am just going over home

Picture of Jesus

It hangs above my altar

C G

Like they hung him from a cross

I keep one in my wallet

D G

For the times that I feel lost

In a wooden frame with splinters

C G

Where my family kneels to pray

And if you listen real close

D G

You'll hear the words he used to say

G C G

I've got a picture of Jesus

G D

In His arms my prayers rest

G C Eb

I've got a picture of Jesus

G D C G

And with Him we shall be forever blessed

Now it has been spoken

He would come again

But would we recognize

This king among men

There was a man in our time

His words shine bright like the sun

He tried to lift the masses

And was crucified by gun

Some days have no beginning

And some days have no end

Some roads are straight and narrow

And some roads only bend

So let us say a prayer

For every living thing

Walking towards a light

From the cross of a king

Prince of Peace

G Bm7 C C/D

G Bm7 C

C/D G Bm7 C

This is the moment

C/D G Bm7 C

This is the time to pause

C/D G G/B C D G C G

This is the time to understand and think of peace

C/D G Bm7 C

Who can we turn to?

C/D G Bm7 C

Who can we ask to put things right?

C/D G G/B C

Is there someone above the fray?

D G C

A Prince of Peace?

G D

Someone speak of the Kingdom

C G C

And not the warfare State

G D

Someone talk of forgiveness

And not this tribal hate

G C D

This flesh that bleeds

C/D G C D

These bones, these bones that break

C/D G C D

This heart, this heart that cries

C/D G/C D C/D

There is a Prince of Peace (Start verse)

Lay down your weapons

Lay down these eons of distrust

Lay down revenge that never ends

Please make this peace

In the name of the Father

In the name of the Son who bore our shame

In the name of the Spirit

Let there be peace

CHORUS

Psalm 27

One thing I asked from the Lord

That I’ll seek, that I may dwell

With you all my days be-hold - your beauty

Hear, Lord, when I cry with voice

Be gra-cious and answer me

When you said to “seek my face” - My heart said…

Your face, O Lord, I shall seek

You’ve been my help, please don’t leave

My father mother forsa-ken, - Lord take me

Teach me your way, O my Lord

And lead me on level path

Don’t de-li-ver me over to - my enemies

Fm Cm Fm

Enemies, enemies, enemies

The Lord is my light and my salvation

The Lord is the strength of my life

Fm Cm

So I will not be afraid, no I will not be afraid

Gm Fm

Because the Lord is my light, the Lord is my light,

The Lord is my light

I’d have des-paired un-less I

Believed I would see God’s good-ness

Here in the land of the - living

Wait for the Lord and be strong

Let your heart take co-u-rage

Wait for God in the land of - the living

I’d have des-paired un-less I

Believed I would see God’s goodness

Here in the land of the - living

Tho hosts en-camp a-gainst me

Tho war a-rise a-gainst me

I won’t fear yes I will be - confident
