I stand to praise you, but I fall down on my knees
G D Am D
My spirit is willing, but my flesh it is so weak
C D
CORS: Light the fire, in my soul
C D
Fan the flame, make me whole
C D
Lord, you know where I've been

So light the fire in my heart again
I feel your arms around me
As the power of your healing begins
Your spirit moves right through me
Like a mighty rushing wind

Ever changing from glory to glory
Mirrored here, let our lives tell your story

We, oh God, unite our voices

Raised in thankful praise to thee
C G Am F C G F G
Thou, unchanging, safe has brought us
Em Am F G C
Through the ever-changing sea
Em Am Dm G
Days of calm and days of conflict
Em Am F D7 G
Nights of darkness prove thy grace
C G Am G
Hands beneath us, arms around us
C F C G C
And above thy smiling face
Seeing then the task before us
Bind our hands and hearts as one
May our labor be in union
Our resolve and thine be one
With one spirit let us labor
Toward the bright horizon far
In the midst of deepest peril
Be thy light our guiding star
God, our choice, the wind's direction
Unforeseen the calm or gale
Thy great ocean swells before us
And our ship seems small and frail
Fierce and flinging is thy mystery
Calling us to shores unknown
Plunge us on with hope and courage
Till thy harbor is our home
5 FREE FOR ALL
©Keith Elder
G C G
With the light of creation there came a decree
C G D G
Free for all, free for all
G C G
Every rock on the mount, every wave on the sea
C G D G
Free for all, free for all
Em C
Truly free for the common folk, free for the king
G Bm C D
By design of a heart who's behind everything
G Bm C G
From the greatest of all to the least living thing
C G D G C-G-D-G C-G-D-G
Free for all, free for all, free for all, free for all
Over time we all tend to our wandering way, free for all
But a choice is a gift and the gift must remain, free for all
Even God and the angels cannot do enough
For a child who won't come to the light of God's love
Mother earth and our children are all casualties of
Free for all, free for all, free for all, free for all
We were chained to forever in shackles and shame
Then from heaven our hero and champion came
Overriding the death and the darkness within
Until people were finally free to be people again, again
So we're bought with a price ad we're destined to be
Free for all, free for all
From the rock on the mount to the wave on the sea
Free for all, free for all
Truly free for the common folk, free for the king
A delight to the heart who's behind everything
Now and all new creation we gratefully sing
Free for all, free for all, free for all, free for all
6 FAMILY

Can you fix this, it's a broken heart

C G D G
CORS: Let your love cover me
C Am D G
Like a pair of angel's wings
C Bm C G
You are my family
C Am D G
You are my family
We stood outside in the summer rain
Different people with a common pain
A simple box in that hard red clay
Where we left him to always remain
The child who played with the moon and stars
Waves a snatch of hay in a common barn
In the lonely house of Adam's fall
Lies a child, just a child that's all, crying

And binds us together as one
Reaching out to our sisters and our brothers
We find our place in the sun

Is your love for me real deep
Peter said yes and the Lord commanded
Then go and feed my sheep
And he began to sing
Four thousand hungry on a hillside
With fish and a little bit of bread
Christ gave thanks to God up above
And everyone was fed,
And they began to sing
The Lord refreshes daily
He brought us to this spring
Put His Spirit inside of us
Until we bubble out and we sing
And we sing, and we sing
When you feed on the food of the Holy Spirit
You spread the feast around

Parody by Chris Hughes
G C G D
I'm one but I'm many, I'm father and I'm a child
G C G D
I'm old but I'm just a baby
G C G D
I'm big but I'm little, I'm spirit but flesh and bone

I'm here but I'm really out there
F C
And what it all comes down to
G C G C G
Is that everything's gonna work out in time
F
Cause I got one hand on the planet
C D G C G D
And the other hand is spinning the stars around
I died but I'm living, I'm weak but I'm strong
I'm buried but resurrected
I'm master and servant, I'm gentle but I am hard
I'm wise but I must be crazy
And what it all comes down to
Is you haven't quite figured it out just yet
But I've got one hand on my people
And the other hand is reaching out for the rest
