This Is The Day

Sing alleluia, alleluia, for this is the day that our Lord has made.
Let us be glad and rejoice, for this is the day of our Lord.

We lift our voices to heaven, we sing with one accord.
This is the day of rejoicing; this is the day of our Lord.

Sing praises to the Redeemer, our Lord of goodness and might.
This is the day of salvation; this is the day of light.

This is the day. This is the day.
This is the day of our Lord. (x2)

Neither Death Nor Life

Neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,
Nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,
Neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation
Can ever separate us from the love of God poured out in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Dwell in the One who raised Christ from the dead;
Though your body shall die, in Christ you shall rise
Through the Spirit who brings you to life.

All who are led by the Spirit shall live
As children of God, and heirs with Christ Jesus,
God's adopted and chosen and loved.

All of the suff'ring we now must endure
Is nothing to the glory so soon to be revealed
When creation itself is set free.

Steal Away

Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus!
Steal away, steal away home, I ain't got long to stay here.


My Lord, he calls me, He calls me by the thunder;
The trumpet sounds within my soul; I ain't got long to stay here.

Green trees are bending, Poor sinners stand a trembling;
The trumpet sounds within my soul; I ain't got long to stay here.

My Lord, he calls me, He calls me by the lightning;
The trumpet sounds within my soul; I ain't got long to stay here.

He Will Carry You

There is no problem too big, God cannot solve it.
There is no mountain too tall, He cannot move it.
There is no storm too dark, God cannot calm it.
There is no sorrow too deep, He cannot soothe it.

If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders,
I know my brother that He will carry you.
If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders,
I know my sister that He will carry you.

He said, 'Come unto me all who are weary, and I will give you rest."

Kind Of A Kingdom

He was a King but he lived as a servant, asking that we do the same.
He led the way to the kind of a kingdom where only the humble shall reign.

For love is the kind of a kingdom that changes the order of things.
The greatest of you shall be servants of all, and the lowest of you shall be kings.

He spoke in words of wonder and mystery, words that were hard to explain.
That finding your life is only to lose it, and losing your life is your gain.

We Remember

We remember how you loved us to your death,
And still we celebrate
For you are with us here.
And we believe that we will see you
When you come in your glory Lord.
We remember, we celebrate, we believe.

I Love You Lord

I love You, Lord and I lift my voice to worship You, O my soul, rejoice.
Take joy, my King, in what You hear.
May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.


Worthy is the Lamb of God, the Saviour of the world.
Worthy is the Lamb to be praised forevermore.
Jesus, You are worthy, is the Lamb of the God, the Saviour of the world.
Worthy, is the Lamb to be praised forevermore.

Lift up your hearts to the coming King.
Bow before Him and adore Him.
Sing, sing to His majesty.
Let your praises be pure and holy giving glory to the King of Kings.


I love You, Lord and I lift my voice to worship You, O my soul, rejoice.
Take joy, my King, in what You hear.
May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.


Festive Alleluia

Above All

Above all powers, above all kings, above all nature and all created things;
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man, You were there before the world began.

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones, above all wonders the world has ever known;
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth, there's no way to measure what You're worth.


Crucified, laid behind a stone; You lived to die, rejected and alone;
Like a rose trampled on the ground, You took the fall and thought of me above all.


Glorious Love

From Bethlehem to Calvary, He walked among us willingly,
Knowing His heav'nly place, choosing to give us grace.
And what sent Him there to die, to be Heaven's sacrifice?
What could compel Him to lay down His life?

Glorious love, love of the Father;
Glorious love, shown by the Saviour.
There on the cross, reaching for us,
Glory, glorious love!


Born a child and yet a King, born to be an offering.
Born in a humble stall, born to be Lord of all.
And what made Him walk that road, to carry our sinful load?
What was the reason He bore it alone?


Glorious love, love of the Father;
Glorious love, shown by the Saviour.
There on the cross, reaching for us,
Glory, glorious love!

Love in a manger born, love with a crown of thorns,
Love resurrected on Easter morn!


Glorious love, love beyond measure.
Glorious love, worth Heaven's treasure.
There on the cross, dying for us!
Glory! (x3)
Glorious love! (x2)


Make a Joyful Noise by Christopher de Silva (for Genesis II Choir; based on the Beatitudes Mt 5:3-12)

Come with me and I will show you all that you can be.
Pray with me and I will give you peace eternally,
Blessed are you, the poor in spirit;
Happy are you, who weep and mourn;
Blessed are you, who are humble;
Holy are you, who do God's will;
For great is the reward for you in heaven. (Chorus)

(Chorus)
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
For great is your reward in heaven and on earth.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
For everyday's a new beginning in God's eyes.
True happiness lies in the heart of all who answer to God's call.


Live and learn the works of God with open heart and mind.
All the goodness, peace and love in Jesus you will find.
Blessed are you, who are merciful;
Happy are you, the pure in heart;
Blessed are you, who work for peace;
Holy are you, God's persecuted;
For great is the reward for you in heaven. (Chorus)

(Final)
Happiness lies in your heart,
Happiness lies in your heart,
Happiness lies in your heart,
Happiness lies in your heart,
When you do God's will

Lord You Have Come

Lord, you have come to the seashore, neither searching for the rich nor the wise,
Desiring only that I should follow.


O Lord, with your eyes set upon me, gently smiling, you have spoken my name;
All I longed for I have found by the water, at your side, I will seek other shores.

Lord, see my goods, my possessions; in my boat you find no power, no wealth.
Will you accept, then, my nets and labour?

Lord, take my hands and direct them. Help me spend myself in seeking the lost,
Returning love for the love you gave me.

We Are Called

My Lord Will Come Again

My Lord will come again, my Lord, my Lord will come again.
My Lord will come again, my Lord will come again!
My Lord will come again, my Lord.
And the kingdom will have no end! Amen! Amen! My Lord will come again.

I will bless the Lord at all times! I will praise God with all my life!
For the Lord our God is risen, and death will be no more!
Amen, Amen, My Lord will come again!

I will sing to God a new song: Make music to my God while I live!
For the Lord our God is with us, and death will be no more!
Amen, Amen, My Lord will come again!

God will wipe away all tears from our eyes! The world of the past will be gone!
Sadness, pain, and mourning: these will be no more!
Amen, Amen, My Lord will come again!

Neither Death Nor Life - reprise

Neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,
Nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,
Neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation
Can ever separate us from the love of God poured out in Christ Jesus our Lord.


All of creation awaits the new birth, the fullness of redemption,
Through labor pains of love, and so we wait in patience and hope.

All things work for good for the ones who love God,
And if God is for us, then who can be against us?
God's justified cannot be condemned.

Who can separate us from the love of Christ?
Will hardship or distress, persecution or famine,
Or nakedness or peril of sword?

Neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,
Nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,
Neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation
Can ever separate us from the love of God poured out in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Poured out in Christ Jesus our Lord.
