Sunday Songs: July 2007 Archives

Songs: Farewell ERPC

| | Comments (0)

Well, this is going to be our last Sunday at East Ridge. It has been a wonderful place to lead the congregational songs. People have been very kind, overlooking my shortcomings and encouraging me in my weakness.

There's going to be a potluck at the Stavens on Thursday around 6, and Jade and I will be playing music together there. Sort of a going away party.

The theme for the songs this Sunday is that Kelly and I like them a
lot. And they all start with "B".

Also, they have to do with our proper attitude before a holy, almighty
God, as JR preached this week.

And we've thrown in another song from east Africa, for good measure.

Song of Approach: The Lion of Judah Has Broken Our Sin Chains!
1. Bow Down and Worship Him - key of Gm
2. Be Unto Your Name - key of C
Offertory: Grace upon Grace (by Sandra McCracken) - Linda Green & Kelly Okie
3. Before the Throne of God Above (Bancroft/Cook) - key of D
4. Be Thou My Vision #642

Songs for Sunday July 15

This Sunday I thought we'd introduce a song in Swahili, since we may
have the Burundians with us. The rest of the songs follow the theme
of Jesus as our shelter.

1. Kwake Yesu Nasimama [author unknown, arr. (c) James Ward 1998]
2. Shout to the Lord [(c)1993, Hillsongs Australia Words and Music by
Darlene Zschech]
3. Great is Thy Faithfulness #32- Organ
4. What a Friend We Have in Jesus #629 - piano/guitar/drums/bass

refrain:
Kwake Yesu Na Simama,
Ndiye Mwamba Ni Salama
Ndiye Mwamba Ni Salama
Ndiye Mwamba Ni Salama

[Loose translation: "I am standing up in Jesus, he is my shelter"]

My hope is built on nothing less
thant Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name

refrain

His oath, his covenant, his blood
support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay

refrain
