Healing Waters
Trevor Thomson

Refrain
Healing waters, flow over me.
Mercy’s water, renewing me.
Mercy’s ocean, transforming me.
Healing water, renew me.

1. Renew my heart, O God,
come change my hardened heart,
come fill my hardened heart with mercy.
You are the water of life.
You are the breath of heaven,
come fill my hardened heart with mercy, Lord.

2. Wash me in waters of love;
cleanse me and purify me,
for only you can cleanse me, Lord.
Wash over me, O Lord.
Refresh my thirsty soul
for you alone can make me holy, Lord.

Communion
Center of My Life
Paul Inwood

Refrain
O Lord, you are the center of my life:
I will always praise you,
I will always serve you,
I will always keep you in my sight.

1. Keep me safe, O God, I take refuge in you.
I say to the Lord, “You are my God.
My happiness lies in you alone;
my happiness lies in you alone.”

2. I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,
who even at night directs my heart.
I keep the Lord ever in my sight:
since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm.

3. And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;
even in safety shall my body rest.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead,
nor let your beloved know decay.

4. You will show me the path of life,
the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand,
at your right hand happiness forever.

We Walk by Faith
ST. ANNE/William Croft/Henry Alford

1. We walk by faith, and not by sight:
No gracious words we hear
Of him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
But we believe him near.

2. We may not touch his hands and side,
Nor follow where he trod;
Yet in his promise we rejoice
And cry, “My Lord and God!”

3. Help then, O Lord, our unbelief,
And may our faith abound;
To call on you when you are near,
And seek where you are found:

4. That when our life of faith is done
In realms of clearer light
We may behold you as you are
In full and endless sight.

5. We walk by faith, and not by sight:
No gracious words we hear
Of him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
But we believe him near.

Text: CM; Henry Alford, alt., 1810–1871.
Music: ST. ANNE; attr. to William Croft, 1678–1727.
