Lead Us In Your Truth

Today’s song comes from my favourite group, Emu Music. Augustine is credited with writing that “he who sings, prays twice”, which I deeply resonate with – my favourite songs and hymns are those which are prayers to God, where you are not only declaring truth but speaking directly to God. How much more beautiful when more than one voice joins in the song of prayer! I think you’ll enjoy this one!

God of earth and heaven, maker of mankind
You spoke creation into life
Your word at the beginning, breaking through the dark
You wrote your law upon our hearts 

Refrain
Lead us in your truth, God, teach us of your grace
Change us by your Spirit to live for you
Fill us with your love, Lord, guide us in your ways
The words you speak are faithful and ever true, help us live for you 

Came to dwell among us, from the Father’s side
The glory of our saviour Christ
Author of salvation, full of truth and grace
You speak the words of lasting life [Refrain]

The grass will fade and wither, flowers wilt and fall
Your word endures forevermore
Your promises unchanging, your wisdom never fails
Calling us to stand by faith [Refrain]

Hold Me Saviour

Today’s hymn is performed by Skye Peterson and Sandra McCracken, who co wrote this song with Ben Shive and Bryan Fowler. The song brings varied perspectives to the plea, “Hold me savior now and ever, Lord let your goodness go with me.” I hope this is your plea today too; enjoy!

Hold me Saviour, lest I wander
Never let me stray
When my heart is heavy laden
help me bear the weight
May my burden bring me
Closer to Your side
Every lack that leads to worship
Is a precious prize

Refrain
Hold me Saviour
now and ever
Lord let Your goodness
go with me
Guide and keep me
Gently lead me
Your presence with me
is my peace

Guide me, Saviour, let Your nearness,
Cheer me every hour
Show me marvels of Your mercy
wonders of Your power
By Your streams of water
Lead me through this land
Joys await me on the way
And home is near at hand

Refrain

Keep me, Saviour, to the finish
Faithful till the end
When I’ll sing “there never was
A truer, better friend”
Through the gates of glory
Lead me all the way
There my faith will turn to sight
And prayer will turn to praise

Refrain
