Works Of Faith+Labor of Love.mp3

Works of Faith+Labor of Love

© 2008 David S. Eddy
Theme Song October 2008
St. Patrick/St. Andrews Men’s Acts Retreat
Verse 1:
Monday, Tuesday, nine to five; overtime and overdrive 
It’s so hard to find my way.
Wednesday, Thursday, just a job, Friday deadlines steal and rob,
 ‘Til my peace is torn and frayed.

REFRAIN:
I love my labor, love my job, I love my Savior Lord and God
His grace and mercy light my way.
I love my labor, hear my Lord, I serve my Savior’s every word,
In works of faith and labor of love.


Verse 2:
Monday, Tuesday, nine to five; Thursday, Friday, I’m alive, 
I have finally found my way.
Now I render my full worth, to You, Lord of all the earth,
There’s no Caesar to compare.

REFRAIN:

Bridge:
If everywhere God can be found, I won’t be Medjegorie bound,
I’ve got so much to do for Him right here!
Integrity must be Job One, I’m working with and for the Son,
A carpenter whose handwork has no peer.

REFRAIN:

FINAL REFRAIN:
We love our labor, love our job, We love our Savior, Lord and God,
His grace and mercy light our way.
We love our labor, hear our Lord, We serve our Savior’s every word,
In works of faith and labor of love,

In works of faith and labor of love,

In works of faith and labor of love.




Breathe

And I........ I'm lost without you

Come To The Water  

ACTS Men's February 2008  

Come To The Water 

Oh let all who thirst, let them come to the water
And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord.
Without money, without price, why should you pay
the price, except for the Lord.

And let all who seek, let them come to the water
And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord
Without money, without strife, why should you spend your life, except for the Lord.


And let all who toil, let them come to the water.
And let all who are weary, let them come to the Lord.
All who labor, without rest, how can your soul find rest, except for the Lord


And let all the poor, let them come to the water.
Bring the ones who are laden, bring them all to the Lord.
Bring the children, without might, Easy the load and light, come to the Lord

Mighty King 

ACTS Men's February 2008   

You are the Spirit bringing us light
Igniting the fire of faith in our lives

You are a river washing us clean, giving us life,
setting us free. You are the Lord, you are a mighty King

Refrain:
We shout with Joy; you're the Rock of my
salvation. Let our hearts all your praises sing.
We lift our voice to the one who made the earth,
the sky, the sea. You are a Mighty King.


You are the voice ancient and new,
speaking with courage, proclaiming the truth. You are the Lord,
You are a mighty King.
You are the savior, God became man. Love became 
real when you stretched out your hand. You are 
the Lord, You are a Mighty King. (Refrain)  

 Thirst No More

ACTS Men's February 2008 (Theme Song) 

0 Lord I'm thirsty,
although I've had plenty to drink. !
And Lord I'm hungry,
hungrier than I would ever think.
You know me Lord
and all I've ever done
I come to the light, you make us one. You show me the truth
of my present and past.
And offer me.. The water that lasts

Refrain:

I want to thirst, no more!
I want to hunger, no more!
I want to live like Jesus is my Lord
I want to thirst, no more! I want to hunger, no more!
I want to know that Jesus is ~
Enough for me.

 

Last time:
to thirst, no more!
to hunger,. no more!
to live like Jesus is my Lord 
to thirst, no more!
to hunger, no more!
I want to know that Jesus is enough for me.
I want to know that Jesus is
enough for: me.


Oh Lord I'm Thirsty (3X)

 

Show Me Your Glory 

ACTS Men's February 2008   

 

Caught a glimpse of Your splendor

In the corner of my eye

The most beautiful thing I'd ever seen

It was like a flash of lightning

Reflected off the sky

And I know I'll never be the same

 

Chorus

Show me Your glory

send down Your presence

I wana see Your face

Show me Your glory

Majesty shines about You and

I can't go on without You Lord

 

Verse 2

Whin I climb down the mountain

And get back to my life

I won't settle for ordinary things

I'm gonna follow You forever

For all of my days

I won't rest until I see you again

 

*Chorus X2 end*

TRUST, SURRENDER, BELIEVE, RECEIVE

Verse 1: I come to lay my burden down,
I’ve come now to believe.
I’ve come to trust, surrender now,
Believe, and to receive.

REFRAIN 1:
When I find my dreams are blown away,
When my pot of gold has gone to clay,
O Lord, I still believe.
When the storm puts raindrops in my eyes,
When good health and harvest pass me by,
O Lord, I still receive.

Verse 2:
Whatever comes, in God I trust,
Come dark or holy place,
It’s then that I surrender to
The One who took my place.

CHANT:
Trust, surrender, believe, receive,
Trust, / surren-der, believe_,

And my heart has overcome all fears,
O Lord, I will believe.
When the world we know passes away,
And we stand before you on that day,
O Lord, we will receive.

Quietly:
Verse 1: I come to lay my burden down,
