Led By The Spirit

Verse 1:
Led by the Spirit of our God, we go to
fast and pray with Christ into the wilderness;
we join his paschal way.
“Rend not your garments, rend your hearts.
Turn back your lives to me.”
Thus says our kind and gracious God,
whose reign is liberty.Verse 2:
Led by the Spirit, we confront temptation
face to face, and know full well we must rely
on God’s redeeming grace.
On bread alone, we cannot live,
but nourished by the Word
we seek the will of God to do:
this is our drink and food.Verse 3:
Led by the Spirit, now draw near the waters
of rebirth with hearts that long to worship God
in Spirit and in truth.
“Whoever drinks the drink I give
shall never thirst again.”
Thus says the Lord who died for us,
our Saviour, kin and friend.

Save Your People

Refrain 1:
Save your people, O Lord!
Show us the way to come home
We have been wandering far from your love
Save your people, O Lord!Verse 1:
One thing I ask, O Lord, this I seek
To dwell forever in your house
That I may gaze on your loveliness
All the days of my lifeRefrain 2:
Save your people, O Lord!
Show us the way to come home
We have been wandering far from your love
Save your people, O Lord!Verse 2:
For you will hide me in the shelter of your wings
And from the arrows of my foes
You set me high on a mountain top
Saved me from my distressRefrain 3:
Save your people, O Lord!
Show us the way to come home
We have been wandering far from your love
Save your people, O Lord!

Again We Keep This Solemn Fast

Verse 1
Again we keep this solemn fast,
A gift of faith from ages past,
This Lent which binds us, lovingly
To faith and hope and charity.Verse 2
The law and prophets from of old
In figured ways this Lent foretold,
Which Christ, all ages’ Lord and Guide,
In these last days has sanctified.Verse 3
More sparing, therefore, let us make
The words we speak, the food we take,
Our sleep, our laughter, ev’ry sense;
Learn peace through holy penitence.Verse 4
Let us avoid each harmful way
That lures the careless mind astray;
By watchful prayer our spirits free
From scheming of the Enemy.Verse 5
We pray, O blessed Three in One,
Our God while endless ages run,
That this, our Lent of forty days,
May bring us growth and give you praise.

Beyond The Days

Refrain 1
Beyond the days of hope and mystery
We see a light of faith renewed
And in our longing, we thirst for guidance
To walk with You day by dayVerse 1
Forty days and nights
You guide the steps of our journey
May Your presence be felt
In the whisper of Your voiceRefrain 2
Beyond the days of hope and mystery
We see a light of faith renewed
And in our longing, we thirst for guidance
To walk with You day by dayVerse 2
Not on bread alone
Are we to walk on this journey
Speak the words that give life
To the yearnings of our heartsRefrain 3
Beyond the days of hope and mystery
We see a light of faith renewed
And in our longing, we thirst for guidance
To walk with You day by day
