Special Hymn/Songs
From time to time I feel led to write a hymn or song for special occasions, which you will find below. You will see that some times I get help from Sheila with the words.
Lyrics are added if you would like to learn and sing along.
MY FATHER
We often say The Lord's Prayer when we are in a congregation or fellowship group.
But what about when we are praying alone?
I have changed the words to make it more personal.
It can either be spoken or with the music that I have written. The words are below.
John
My Father in heaven, hallowed be your holy name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give me this day my daily bread, and forgive my trespasses,
As I forgive those who sin against me.
Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil
For yours is the kingdom the power and the glory
For ever and ever, for ever and ever, for ever and ever.
Amen.

This hymn was written for our church's 150th Anniversary
We Come To Worship
In this place we come to worship, you, our heavenly Father.
You have shown us grace and mercy so much more than we deserve.
Ch.
Chorus. Come among us, in this worship. Come among us, as we sing and pray.
Not for just this fleeting moment, Father, be with us each day.
We have served you in your house Lord, many years have passed us by.
But the worship never ceases. We will praise you Lord most high.
Ch.
We remember those, who have served you, for their witness in this place.
May they never be forgotten, as we journey with your grace.
Ch.
On this very special occasion, give us now your blessing, Lord.
May this place be ever a witness, may your name be ever adored.
Ch.
As we journey into the future, serving you, our faithful Lord.
May this place be ever a witness, may your name be ever adored
Ch.

WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE GIRLS’ BRIGADE
​
CH. We are members of the Girls Brigade,
We are learning to follow Jesus.
From the time our Founder showed the way to go
At our birth, one hundred years ago.
1. We have a cross within our badge
To show that we belong to the Church of Christ
We'll learn to know Him, we'll learn to love Him
For Jesus is our friend. CH
2. We have a lamp within our badge
Reminding us each day to shine for Him
Though dark the day, He'll light the way
For He's the world's true light. CH
3. We have a Crown within our badge
To show that Christ is King and Lord of all.
Our Jesus good and true, will care for me and you
He is the King of Kings. CH
4. We have a torch within our badge
To know God's Spirit guides, a flame that leads
As we are growing, happy in knowing
Our Teacher and our Lord. CH
