Glory To His Name - Miriam Jones

down at the cross where my Savior died
down where for cleansing from sin I cried
there to my sin was the blood applied
glory to His name

glory to His name
glory to His name
there to my heart was the blood applied
glory to His name

I am so wondrously saved from sin
Jesus so sweetly abides within
there at the cross where He took me in
glory to His name

oh precious fountain that saves from sin
I am so glad I have entered in
there Jesus saves me and keeps me clean
glory to His name

come to this fountain so rich and sweet;
cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet
plunge in today, and be made complete
glory to His name

How can I keep from Singing

my life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentation
I hear the sweet though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation
above the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing
it sounds an echo in my soul
how can I keep from singing?

what though my joys and comforts die
the Lord my Saviour liveth
what tho' the darkness round me close
songs in the night he giveth
no storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that refuge clinging
if Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
how can I keep from singing?

I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin
I see the blue above it
and day by day this pathway smooths
since first I learned to love it
the peace of Christ makes fresh my heart
a fountain ever springing
all things are mine since I am his
how can I keep from singing?

How can I keep from Singing video

I am One - Miriam Jones

I am one of his disciples
I am one who bears his name
I am one of Satan’s rivals
I am one and I am unashamed

I am orphan made a daughter
I am a harlot made a wife
I’m a poor man called to dinner
I am a stranger recognized

Oh I am the image of a hidden glory
Yes I am danced over died for willingly
Oh I am the keeper of a coming kingdom
and hallelujah I am home to coming King

I am one of his defiers
I am one of his runaways
I have fought him to the wire
And I have cursed him to his face
But I am one who he has pardoned
I am one who knows his grace
Though the world my heart would harden
His love avows to keep it safe

I am One - Miriam Jones video

I heard the Voice of Jesus Say

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary and worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I’ll walk,
Till trav’ling days are done.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“My Father’s house above
Has many mansions; I’ve a place
Prepared for you in love.”
I trust in Jesus—in that house,
According to His word,
Redeemed by grace, my soul shall live
Forever with the Lord.

Oasis Communion

There was a city of refuge where those accused and maligned, those condemned and vilified could find refuge. This is not a specific city, Christ is that city, Christ is that refuge. And this is his table. You are welcome to sit and eat here, and to pray for his coming kingdom.

LORDS PRAYER

Let the people come
To our hearts true allegiance
Beyond family and land
Beyond kingdoms and powers
Beyond time and self
May Love draw us and shape us
Through bread, wine and one another,
Make us your body
Your people. Amen.

Come to the heart of Christ,
Where all are one
Receive the extravagant gift
Which alone expects nothing in return
Through the boundless Hospitality of the Spirit
Come taste God
Love and beloved

In this Holy Communion
Find healing, rest, release
In one another
Find love for body mind and spirit
Come home to God
And be at peace

spirit of Love unfathomable
Here are bread, wine and our fractured lives
The random blows and the familiar struggles
Friendship and kindness, hope and hospitality
In trust, we offer all that we are are and have to you
And we share our lives with one another around this meal

This fellowship , this companionionship,
Children of the same Heavenly Father
Friends of the same Saviour
Prophets of the same Kingdom
Longing for the same future
Searching out the wisdom of heaven in the weeds of this world

So out of condemnation draw compassion
Out of suffering solidarity
And through this bread and wine
We taste that
You have made Your love active and real





The Lord is here.
All   His Spirit is with us.

Lift up your hearts.
All   We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All   It is right to give thanks and praise.

It is indeed right,
it is our duty and our joy,
at all times and in all places
to give you thanks and praise,
holy Father, heavenly King,
almighty and eternal God,
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord.
The following may be omitted if a short Proper Preface is used
For he is your living Word;
through him you have created all things from the beginning,
and formed us in your own image.
[All   To you be glory and praise for ever.]
Through him you have freed us from the slavery of sin,
giving him to be born of a woman and to die upon the cross;
you raised him from the dead
and exalted him to your right hand on high.
[All   To you be glory and praise for ever.]
Through him you have sent upon us
your holy and life-giving Spirit,
and made us a people for your own possession.
[All   To you be glory and praise for ever.]

Therefore with angels and archangels,
and with all the company of heaven,
we proclaim your great and glorious name,
for ever praising you and saying:
All   Holy, holy, holy Lord,
God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
[Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.]
Accept our praises, heavenly Father,
through your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ,
and as we follow his example and obey his command,
grant that by the power of your Holy Spirit
these gifts of bread and wine
may be to us his body and his blood;
who, in the same night that he was betrayed,
took bread and gave you thanks;
he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you;
do this in remembrance of me.
[All   To you be glory and praise for ever.]

In the same way, after supper
he took the cup and gave you thanks;
he gave it to them, saying:
Drink this, all of you;
this is my blood of the new covenant,
which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this, as often as you drink it,
in remembrance of me.
[All   To you be glory and praise for ever.]

Therefore, heavenly Father,
we remember his offering of himself
made once for all upon the cross;
we proclaim his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension;
we look for the coming of your kingdom,
and with this bread and this cup
we make the memorial of Christ your Son our Lord.
One of these four acclamations is used
[Great is the mystery of faith:]
All   Christ has died:
Christ is risen:
Christ will come again.

Accept through him, our great high priest,
this our sacrifice of thanks and praise,
and as we eat and drink these holy gifts
in the presence of your divine majesty,
renew us by your Spirit,
inspire us with your love
and unite us in the body of your Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
[All   To you be glory and praise for ever.]

Through him, and with him, and in him,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
with all who stand before you in earth and heaven,
we worship you, Father almighty,
in songs of everlasting praise:

All   Blessing and honour and glory and power
be yours for ever and ever.
Amen.


Break bread and distribute
Share the cup

Father, We thank you for feeding us with the Body and blood of your dear son Jesus Christ
Now send us out into the world
Renewed in faith
Nourished in soul
And empowered by your Spirit
For your praise and glory

Amen.

Gentle Shepherd, when we are lost, you are always waiting for our return
with open arms. Help us to find our abiding place in your care. Grant us
the desire to rest with you and allow you to be our source of direction.
Give us your hand that we may hold fast as we journey through life.
Amen. ( Moravian prayer)
