Heavenly Father, as I begin this new day you have blessed me with,
I ask you to help me realise the preciousness of time,
the result of perseverance, the joy of hard and sincere work,
the dignity of being simple in word and deed,
the beauty of bearing a good character, the power of kindness,
the marvellous influence of good and bad example,
the worth of doing my duty well, the value of patience, and the wisdom of forgiveness.
Lord, help me to realise today that it is necessary for me to accept the impossible,
to do without the indispensable and to bear the intolerable.
Amen
Heavenly Father, at the beginning of this new day you have blessed me with, I seek your protection and guidance :
Let me live the day in such a way that at least one person I will meet during this day will be happier for having met me.
Let me live the day in such a way that when this day is through and
its toiling is over at least one person
will remember me for having spoken a kind word.
Let me live the day in such a way that when the evening
arrives I will feel the satisfaction that I brought joy in at least one person's life.
Let me live the day in such a way
that when my eyes begin to close in slumber tonight,
I feel that I have left a trail
of kindness and not a scar of discontent.
Amen
Heavenly Father, thank you for making me as I am.
Thank you for my health and strength /
Thank you for giving me eyes to see; ears to hear /
hands to work; feet to walk and run /
a mind to think; a heart to love.
Thank you for parents who care;
for friends who are true. Thank you for Life itself,
which is your wonderful gift.
Help me, Lord,
to live today a little more deserving of your gifts.
Amen
Heavenly Father, give me all through today a sound
sense to see what is right and strength of will and purpose to do it.
If I am not able to do it the first time, give me perseverance to keep on trying.
Give me an eye which is quick to see
what I can do for others and a willingness to do it.
Help me not to do things unwillingly;
help me to do what is asked of me at once and
without the need of being reminded again and again.
Help me today to bring happiness wherever I go,
so that I can discover you everywhere
and find the happiness for which you created
Amen
Heavenly Father, today I want to remember before
you those for whom life is not nearly so happy as
it is for me; refugees, who have no homes
and no place to call their own;
those who live in lands where freedom is lost;
those who are persecuted and treated without
sympathy and even with cruelty at work or in their homes; the friendless,
the lonely and the broken hearted;
those in hospitals and in places for those whose minds have
lost the light of reason; those in prison and in disgrace.
Grant that my own happiness may never
blind me to the needs of others and be
forgetful of the unhappiness of others.
Amen
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high.
Ch : Into that heaven of freedom, my Father
Let my country awake !
Where knowledge is free.
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls .
Where words come out from the depth of truth.
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection.
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost it's way into the dreary desert sands of dead habit.
Where the mind is led forward by thee, into ever widening thoughts and actions.
In His time, in His time,
He makes all things beautiful in His time
Lord please show me ev'ry day
As you're teaching me your way.
That you do just what you say in your time.
In Your time, in Your time,
You make all things beautiful in Your time.
Lord, my life to You I bring, with its winter and its spring.
May I fathom ev'rything in Your time.
There's a time, there's a time
Both for sowing and for reaping there's a time
Time for losing, time for gain. Time for joy and time for pain.
Every purpose under heaven has a time.
There are times, there are days,
Weeks and months we cannot understand God's ways
If for years we fail to scan, what is His eternal plan
We'll remember that He can, all the time.
With the Saviour ever near to guide you.
You are safe whatever may betide you
From the storm and tempest He will hide you
In the hollow of His hand.
CH : In the hollow of His hand (2)
You are safe whatever may betide you
in the hollow of His hand.
In His arms of love He doth enfold you.
Words of peace His voice divine has told you.
You are safe for God Himself doth hold you.
In the hollow of His hand.
He will guard your soul and leave it never
From His love no power on earth shall sever
And you know He'll keep you now and ever
In the hollow of His hand.
Ev'ry tiny star that twinkles in the night sky.

And the message is...................
CH : Look all around you and see,
That the Lord has made everything for our good. Look all around you and smile,
For the Lord has made everything for our good.
Oh, the Lord made the stars and the sun
And the sky, yes He made everything for our good. He made rain and snow
And He made the moon to glow
He did it because He loves us.
Oh, the Lord made the hills and the forests
And streams, yes, He made everything for our good.
He made the birds and the bees
And He gives us all the trees,
He did it because He loves us.
Oh, the Lord made the fish in the babbling brook,
Yes He made everything for our good.
He made the gentle breeze
And he made the howling seas.
He did it because He loves us.
Oh, the Lord made us black
And the Lord made us white and yellow and red for our good
He made men and women,
And he made the little children. He made us to love each other.
CH : Here I am Lord, is it I, Lord ?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go, Lord, if you lead me,
I will hold your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry,
All who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright Who will bear my light to them ?
Whom shall I send ?
I, the Lord of snow and rain
I have borne my people's pain
I have wept for love of them They who turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone
Give them hearts of love alone.
I will speak my word to them, Whom shall I send ?
I, the Lord of wind and flame.
I will tend the poor, the lame
I will set a feast for them
My hand will serve.
Finest bread I will provide Till their hearts be satisfied
I will give my life to them Whom shall I send ?

Sing Hosanna to the king of kings

Sing Hosanna to the King.
Give me love in my heart, keep me serving

CH : It takes courage to answer a call.
It takes courage to give your all.
It takes courage to risk your name
It takes courage to be true
It takes courage to dare what no other will share
To be standing alone, one whom no one will own.
To be ready to stake,
for another man's sake
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to say, what you know will not pay
To give each one his share,
though there will be less to spare.
To be seeking no more than the neighbour next door
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to leave,
what good fortune can give
And to go to a land where poor need a hand
To be spending one's day in less leisurely ways
It takes courage to be true.
Mother of all that is pure and glad
All that is bright and best
As we have taken our toil to thee
So we will take our rest
Take thou and bless our holiday
O Causa Nostrae Laetitiae.
Be with us Mother, from morn till eve.
Thou and thy blessed Son.
Keep us all that is grief to you.
Till the weeks and months are run Thine be still,
when grave or gay O Causa Nostrae Laetitiae.
Smile upon all that is dear to us.
Smile on our school and home.
Smile on the days we are passing now
. Smile on the years to come
Brighten our work and gladden our play.
O Causa Nostrae Laetitiae.
God will take care of you, be not afraid.
He is your safeguard thro'
sunshine and shade:
Tenderly watching and keeping His own.
He will not leave you to wander alone.
CH : God will take care of you still to the end Oh,
what a father, Redeemer and friend!
Jesus will answer whenever you call :
He will take care of you: trust Him for all !
God will take care of you thro'
all the day Shielding your footsteps,
directing your way.
He is your shepherd,
Protector and Guide Leading His children where still waters glide.
God will take care of you as long as you live:
Granting you blessings no other can give.
He will take care of you when time is past
Safe to His kingdom will bring you at last.
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens,
Lord, with me abide When other helpers fail and comforts flee.
Help of the helpless,
oh, abide with me.
Swift to its close ebb out life's little day.
Earth's joys grow dim,
its glories pass away.
Change and decay, all around I see.
O thou who changest not,
abide with me.
I need thy presence every passing hour,
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power,
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be ?
Through cloud and sunshine
, oh abide with me.
Guardian Angel, for heaven so bright
Watching besides me, to lead me aright.
Fold thy wings round me, O guard me with love
Softly sing songs to me, of heav'n above.
CH : Beautiful Angel, My guardian so mild.
Tenderly guide me for I am Thy child.
Angel so holy, whom God sends to me.
Sinful and lowly, my guardian to be
Wilt Thou not cherish the child of Thy care ?
Let me not perish,
my trust in thy prayer.
O may I never forget Thou art near:
But keep me ever in love and in fear Walking
and sleeping in labour and rest.
In Thy sweet keeping my life shall be blessed.
It only takes a spark to get a fire going
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing.
That's how it is with God's love.
Once you've experienced it
You spread His love to ev'ryone.
You want to pass it on, pass it on.
What a wondrous time in spring when all the trees are budding.
The birds begin to sing,
the flowers start their blooming.
That's how it is with God's love,
once you've experienced it You want to sing,
you feel the spring.
You want to pass it on, pass it on.
I wish for you my friend,
this happiness that I've found You can depend on Him,
no matter where you're bound I'll shout it from the mountain top.
I want the world to know
The Lord of life, has come to me.
You want to pass it on, pass it on.
Out in the highways and byways of life
Many are weary and sad.
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,
Making the sorrowing glad.
CH : Make me a blessing,
make me a blessing,
Out of my life, may Jesus shine.
Make me a blessing, oh Saviour I pray.
Make me a blessing to someone today.
Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love.
Tell of His power to forgive.
Others will trust him, if only you prove
True every moment you live.
Give as t'was given to you in your need.
Love as the Master loved you,
Be to the helpless a helper in need
Unto your mission be true.
Keep me in the hollow of your hand
Lead me through this wild and stormy land.
You who guide my feet
Though the path may well be steep.
Keep me in the hollow of your hand.
CH : Keep me, keep me day by day.
Guide me, guide me all the way.
Never, never let me stray.
Keep me in the hollow of your hand.
Keep me in the centre of your will
All your plans for me may I fulfil
As I go my way, help me Lord from day to day
Keep me in the centre of your will.
Keep me in the circle of your love.
Looking down to comfort from above.
Help me see your face as I pray for daily grace.
Keep me in the circle of your love.
Keep me in the depths of your own heart.
From it may I never depart.
Until one day with them you will call me home to thee.
Keep me in the depths of your own heart.
There's a church in the valley by the wild wood.
No lovelier place in the dale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
as the little brown church in the vale.
CH : O Come (4) come to the church in the wild wood.
O come to the church in the dale, no spot.............
How sweet on a bright Sabbath morning to listen to the clear ringing bell
It's tones so sweetly are calling
O come to the church in the vale.
The little brown church in the wild wood,
is a source of joy to my heart.
Founded in love and brotherhood,
the little brown church in the vale.
It's faithfulness is ever mindful,
the church of God in the dale Cherished memories come heartful
of the little brown church in the vale.
Our world is darkened by sorrow & tears
Violence and hatred and fear Untold is misery,
hunger and pain Innocent lives cry in vain.
Our world is clouded with sadness & gloom
Justice and truth have no room
Bombs are exploding, people are dying
Crumbled our world, there, it's lying.
Lift the banner of peace and let it fly high
Lift the banner of peace to the sky
Lift the banner of peace, and let it unfurl Give your
message of peace to the world Lift the banner
of love and let it fly high Lift the banner of
love to the sky
Lift the banner of love, and let it unfurl
Give your message of love to the world
Shattered are dreams cause of envy & price
Quarrels and squabbles and fights
Oppressed are the poor and abused are the weak,
The kind, the pure and the meek.
Come on, reach out your hand,
united do stand Give your message of peace to every land Come on,
reach out your hand, united do stand Give your
message of love to everyone
Lift the banner of peace and let it fly high
Lift the banner of peace to the sky
Lift the banner of love, and let it unfurl
Give your message of love to the world.
Lord we pray for golden peace,
Peace all over the land,
May all men dwell in liberty,
Walking hand in hand.
CH. : Banish fear and ignorance,
Hunger, thirst and pain.
Banish hate and poverty,
Let no man live in vain (2)
Keep all men forever one One in love and grace.
Wipe away all war and strife
Give freedom to each race.
You see me hungry, lying on the footpath.
I need your love and care to quench the thirst
I am looking for some decent clothes and shelter.
O see the state I'm in—the very worst!
You will find me in the hospital so weary.
Imprisoned by my loneliness so great.
The victim of man's cruel exploitation.
How can you ever leave me to my fate?
CH. : Whatsoever you do,
to set your brother free.
Whatsoever you do, to end his misery.
Whatsoever you do,
to bring him liberty,
Whatsoever you do,
you do it unto me.
Perhaps you'll help to find me some employment
Or say a word to calm my anxious fears.
Be brave to fight with me against injustice
Or sit by me and lend a listening ear.
At times I need a word of consolation,
The joy of seeing you standing by my side.
I promise that your love will be rewarded.
O come, you blessed and in heav'n abide.

CH. : God's love is so wonderful
Jesus is so wonderful God's love is so wonderful
So wonderful for you and me.
God is always kind when you are lonely.
Keep him closer to your heart
He will give you peace, He will give you rest
If you have His love in your heart.
Put your trust in God, everybody,
Every day and every hour,
He will give you joy, He will give you hope
If you have His love in your heart.
God will never fail you if you ask,
Always share His love for us.
Praise Him with your song,
Praise Him with your harp
Let the whole world know His love for us.
CH : At the end of the day
Just kneel and say:
"Thank you, Lord for my work and play
I've tried to be good,
For I know that I should"
That's the prayer for the end of the day!
So when the new dawn begins to break,
Just lift up your eyes,
let your heart awake: Be ready to meet what the day may send And
be ready to greet ev'ry man as a friend.
Nobody knows what a power you have found
So do what you can for the others around.
Carry them high when they seem to be low.
As on your way you go.
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged thinking all is lost:
Count your many blessings,
name them one by one;
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
CH : Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God has done,
Count your blessings, name them one by one.
Count your many blessings,
see what God has done
Are you ever burdened with a load of care ?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear ?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly.
And you will be singing as the days go by.
So amid the conflicts, whether greater or small
Do not be discouraged.
God is ever all :
Count your many blessings,
angels will attend.
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
CH : Give and forgive,
For that's how to live. Whether at work or at play,
There by your side,
keep love as your guide,
Give and forgive ev'ry day !
Never refuse what the Lord may send
Though there may be troubles and hearts to mend; Each day brings a blessing,
(with courage anew)
A present from heaven to you,
Never despair ! And you will see again
The blossoms will grow on your tree again;
So follow that star!
It will show you the way And always remember, each day.
We have a vision for tomorrow
Just believe (2)
We have a goal for Mother India
We can achieve (2)
You and me, we'll do our part Stand together,
heart to heart We're going to show the world What India can be

There is something down the road that we can try for

There's a spirit in the air, it's a feeling we all share
We're going to show the world, what India can be
We can achieve (2)
Count on me, India
Count on me, to give my best and more
You and me ..............
............. We can achieve (2) Count on me, India

Counting colours in the rainbow
When the sun has made the rainbow
In all those colours I see above me
I count the blessings of Someone who loves me.
Counting colours in the rainbow
Every time the clouds of grey go
A thrill it gives me to know that with me
There will be millions who can share my rainbow.
When the world is dark with stormy weather,
Should we fear and tremble, never,
never Someone who takes care of us forever,
Paints a lovely miracle on high. (Repeat)
Counting colours in the rainbow
When the sun has made ......
.... . millions who can share my rainbow
Counting colours in the rainbow (2)
It happened just this morning
I was walking down the street A milkman and a postman And a policeman I did meet
There at every window, at every passing door
I recognised people, I'd never noticed before.
Up, up with people, you meet wherever you go
Up, up with people, they're the best kind of folks we know
If more people were for more people
All people everywhere
There'd be a lot less people to worry about
And a lot more people who care.
People from the Southland
And people from the North
Like a mighty army, I saw them coming forth
T'was a great reunion, befitting of a king
Then I realised people
Were more important than things.
Inside everybody
There's some bad and some good
But don't let anybody
Start attacking peoplehood
Love them as they are And fight for them to be Great
men and great women As God meant them to be.
We shall overcome (2)
We shall overcome, some day,
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome, some day.
We'll walk hand in hand (2)
We'll walk hand in hand, some day,
Oh deep in my heart I do believe,
We'll walk hand in hand, some day.
We shall live in peace (2)
We shall live in peace,
some day, Oh deep in my heart I do believe,
We shall live in peace, some day.
We shall love each other (2)
We shall love each other,
some day Oh deep in my heart I do believe,
We shall love each other, some day.
We'll not be afraid (2)
We'll not be afraid, some day
Oh deep in my heart I do believe, We'll not be afraid, some day.
God will see us through (2)
God will see us through,
some day Oh deep in my heart I do believe,
God will see us through, some day.
We shall all be one (2)
We shall all be one, some day,
Oh deep in my heart I do believe,
We shall all be one, some day.
A song on my lips, a song in my heart
I go my merry way,
The sun in my eyes, the sun in my heart
Lights up my steps from day to day.
Every road through hills and valleys
Leads to heaven by and by
And the wind that sweeps the alleys
Points a finger through the sky.
Many friends are on the highways And they're
waiting for a smile Walk along my friends
on my way Holding hands a little while.
There are times of storm and sorrow
When the goal drifts out of sight But the
road leads to tomorrow To the land of peace and love.
Then we'll all be reunited
Singing our eternal chord
For we know we've been invited
To the mansion of the Lord.
Sometimes good, sometimes bad Sometimes happy,
sometimes sad Everybody sometimes falls
And needs a friend.
Sometimes weak,
sometimes strong Sometimes right,
sometimes wrong Everybody sometimes falls
And needs a friend.
Walk a mile, walk a mile
In his/her shoes
Don't put down, criticize or accuse
Take the time to feel
The things he's/she's going through
See just how it feels
To walk a mile in his/her shoes.
Words can bless,
words can curse Make things better,
make things worse Every time you throw some dirt
You lose some ground.
Words can drown, words can save Take a weak one,
make him brave Every time you help someone
You gain some ground.
It's a long road to freedom A winding steep
and high But when you walk in love With the wind
on your wing And cover the earth
With the songs you sing
The miles fly by.
I walked one morning by the
sea And all the waves reached out to me I
took their tears ..... and let them be.
I walked one morning at the dawn
When bits of night still lingered on
I sought my star. ..... but it was gone.
I walked one morning with a friend
And prayed that the day would never end
The years have flown .... so why pretend.
I walked one morning with the
king And all my winters turned to
spring Yet every moment held its sting.
