Take me out of the Dark - Gary Valenciano





Take Me Out Of The Dark
by Gary Valenciano


Just what is it in me?
Sometimes I just don't know
What keeps me in Your love,
Why you never let me go

And though you're in me now,
I fall and hurt you still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how you feel

You have forgiven me
Too many times it seems
I feel I'm not what you might call
A worthy Christian after all

And though I love You so
Temptation finds it's way to me

Teach me to trust in You
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don't wanna be there

You've never left my side
You gave Your hand to me to hold
Oh Jesus, I'm no longer in the cold



And yet, I leave You there
When I feel satisfied
I'd like to thank You every day
Not only when I feel that way

I've never known a Man
Who'd give His life for sinners like me
And yet, because He loves us so
He's promised us eternity
And we can have that promise
And be His if we have faith
And just believe

Teach us to trust in you
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
We just forget
You won't give us what we can't bear

Take us out of the dark, My Lord
'Cause we don't want to be alone
Take me out of the dark, My Lord
We don't wanna be there, My Lord

Trust in You with all my heart
Lean not on my own understanding
I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark, My Lord
Cause we don't want to be alone
Take me out of the dark, My Lord
I don't want to be there

Anima Christi by Bukas Palad



Soul of Christ 

Sanctify me 
Body of Christ save me 
Water from the side of Christ 
Wash me, Passion of Christ 
Give me strength 

Chorus: 
Hear me Jesus 
Hide me in thy wounds 
That I may never leave thy side 
From all the evil that surrounds me 
Defend me and when the call of death arrives 
Bid me come to thee 
That I may praise thee 
With thy saints forever

We Belong to God




We Belong to God  
composed by JOHN FLAHERTY


None of us lives as his own
And none of us dies as his own
For while we live we are responsible to God
And when we die, we die as His servants

Refrain:
For both in life and death we belong to God,
That is why Christ has died for us and come again
We shall all appear before the judgement seat of God
For it is written, "Every knee shall bend before me
And every tongue shall give praise to God"

Verse 2:
For we are sure that neither death nor life,
Nor this nor future ages nor their powers,
No height, no depth, no creature that thrives,
Will come between us and the love of Christ

Verse 3:
Give yourselves as sacrifice to God
Holy and acceptable to the Lord
Do not allow your minds to be conformed to this age,
But let your hearts be ruled by His Spirit

Verse 4:
Now not all of us shall fall asleep
But all of us are to be changed
In the twinkling of an eye,
As the last trumpet sounds,
We shall rise victorious in Christ!

I Offer My Life by Don Moen with lyrics

There are two versions here from youtube.  The first is the one by Don Moen and below the lyrics is the version of Hillsong United. Just take your pick or listen to one after the other.  Both are heavenly.



All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Verse 2)
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Bridge)
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Lord I offer you my life
