Captain


Captain
Hillsong United

Your truth is a compass 
that points me back north
Jesus, my captain, my souls trusted Lord
all my allegiance is rightfully Yours
Like the wind, You guide-
clear the skies before me 
and I' ll glide this open sea
Like the stars, Your Word, will align my voyage
and remind me where I've been 
and where I am going

Jesus, my captain 
my souls trusted Lord 
all my allegiance is rightfully Yours

***

The Son is the radiance of Gods glory
and the exact representation of His being, 
sustaining all things by His powerful Word.
After He had provided purification for sins,
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Hebrews 1:3

**

Jesus answered..
`..And I will ask the Father
and He will give you another advocate, to help you 
and be with you forever. 
The Spirit of truth, the world cannot
accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him
But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.'

John 14:16-17

`..But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you all things 
and will remind you of everything
I have said to you.`

John 14:26

Awestruck


Follow me
Castings Crowns

..I have nothing to give
but surrender inside,

`Let down your nets
this is not the end
from now on you'll be 
fishers of men
Follow Me,  Follow Me`

**

..He said to Simon,
"Now go out where it is deeper,
 and let down your
nets to catch some fish"

"Master," Simon replied, "we have worked hard all night 
and didn't catch a thing. 
But if You say so, I'll let the nets down again."
And this time the nets were so full of fish they began to tear!
A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat,
and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking.
When Simon Peter realized what had happened,
he fell to his knees before Jesus and said,
"Oh Lord, please leave me -
I am too much of a sinner to be around You"
For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had caught..(vs.4-9)
Jesus replied "Don't be afraid!
From now on you'll be fishing for people!"
And as soon as they landed, they left everything 
and followed Jesus. (vs.10-11)

Luke 5:4-9

Fill


'I will open up rivers for them on high plateaus 
I will give them fountains of water in the valleys
I will fill the desert with pools of water.
Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground'

Isaiah 41:18

**

Washed over me
All things new 

        Like water, You poured out, 
      Your grace covered me..
When Your love, when Your love washed over me
My cup is overflowing
with You I thirst no more
There on the river I found the victory
    When Your love washed over me.

Heavenward

                                                             

..The joy of the Lord 
is your strength 

Nehemiah 8:10

***

Have Everything
David Dunn

You can have me
 You can have everything, 
   I am Yours 
Not holding on - onto anything
 but, Your promise Lord.

Nothing I want more, 
than what You've given me
You can have everything

Everyday,
 I'm gonna wake up and say;
"You can have me, You can have everything"

***

Brothers and sisters,
I do not consider myself yet 
to have taken hold of it. 
But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward
what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal 
to win the prize for which God
has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus

Philippians 3:13-14

Endure



For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathise 
with our weaknesses,
but we have one who has been tempted in every way
just as we are, and yet He did not sin.

Hebrews 4:15

***

Here now
Hillsong United

Cause I know that You are
Here now
Still my heart 
Let Your voice be all I hear, now
Fix my eyes on things 
that I can't see, now

Spirit breathe
Like the wind
Come have Your way

***

..And God is faithful, He will not let you be tempted 
beyond what you can bear
But when you are tempted 
He will provide a way out
so that you can endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:13

Light of the World


The Lord went ahead of them. 
He guided them during the day with a pillar
of  cloud, and He provided light at night with a pillar of 
fire.
This allowed them to travel by day or by night.
And the Lord did not remove the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire
from its place in front of the people.

Exodus 13:21-22

***
Stars in the Night
Tenth Avenue North

We fix our eyes on what we know is true
Even in our shame, grace makes a way through
Be our obsession, Our constellation 
You are light in and out of every season 
So we keep pressing on, with our redemption song
No one can undo what you've done
Hallelujah, we're running to You..

and through the dark, singing we are Yours
Your love will lead us through the fight 
like stars in the night..

***

`Keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
For the joy set out for Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame
and has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God'

Hebrews 12;2
