Save Your People

Refrain
Save your people, O Lord.
Show us the way to come home.
We have been wandering
far from your love.
Save your people, O Lord.Verse 1
One thing I ask,
O Lord, this I seek:
to dwell forever in your house,
that I may gaze
on your loveliness
all the days of my life.Refrain
Save your people, O Lord.
Show us the way to come home.
We have been wandering
far from your love.
Save your people, O Lord.Verse 2
For you will hide me
in the shelter of your wings
and from the arrows of my foes.
You set me high
on a mountaintop,
saved me from my distress.Refrain
Save your people, O Lord.
Show us the way to come home.
We have been wandering
far from your love.
Save your people, O Lord.Verse 3
Listen, O Lord,
to the sound of my call,
for I acknowledge my offence.
Wash me and I
shall be purified,
I shall be whiter than snow.Refrain

Show us the way to come home.
We have been wandering
far from your love.
Save your people, O Lord.Verse 4
Thus will I bless you
all the days of my life.
Lifting my hands, I call your name:
"O Lord, remember
your inheritance.
Save your people, O Lord!"Refrain
Save your people, O Lord.
Show us the way to come home.
We have been wandering
far from your love.
Save your people, O Lord.

Take My Life and Let It Be

Verse 1
Take my life and let it be,
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.Verse 2
Take my heart, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine,
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal Throne,
It shall be Thy royal Throne.Verse 3

At Thy feet its treasure store,
Take myself and I will be;
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
