Over my head, I hear music in the air;
Over my head, I hear music in the air;
Over my head, I hear music in the air;
There must be a God somewhere.

When the storms of life are ragin'
I hear music in the air.
When the storms of life are raging'
I hear music in the air.
When the storms of life are ragin'
I hear music in the air.
There must be a God somewhere

Call to Worship

God, our Shepherd, offers us abundant life.
God, you are with us!
God, our Shepherd, leads us by still waters.
God, restore our souls!
God, our Shepherd, walks with us
through every dark valley.
God, we will not be afraid!
God, our Shepherd,
we praise you for your goodness
and mercy with us every day.

Praise My Soul, the God of Heaven (VU 240) Praise, my soul, the God of heaven; Glad of heart your carols raise; Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven Who, like me, should sing God's praise? Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise the maker all your days!		Praise God for the grace and favour Shown our forebears in distress; God is still the same forever, Slow to chide, and swift to bless: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sing our maker's faithfulness.
Like a loving parent caring, God knows well our feeble frame; Gladly all our burdens bearing, Still to countless years the same. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! All within me, praise God's name!	Frail as summer's flower we flourish, Blows the wind and it is gone; But, while mortals rise and perish, God endures unchanging on. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise the high eternal one.	Angels, teach us adoration, You behold God face to face; Sun and moon and all creation, Dwellers all in time and space. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise with us the God of grace!

Come, O Fount of Every Blessing
(VU 559)

Come, O Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing your grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of God's unfailing love.

Here I pause in my sojourning
Giving thanks for having come,
Come to trust, at every turning,
God will guide me safely home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God,
Came to rescue me from danger,
Precious presence, precious blood.

O, to grace how great a debtor daily
I am drawn anew!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to you.
Prone to wander, I can feel it,
Wander from the love I've known:
Here's my heart, O, take and seal it,
Seal it for your very own.

I Have Called You by Your Name
(MV 161)
I have called you by your name, you are mine;
I have gifted you and ask you now to shine.
I will not abandon you;
All my promises are true.
You are gifted, called, and chosen; you are mine.

I will help you learn my name as you go;
Read it written in my people, help them grow.
Pour the water in my name,
Speak the word your soul can claim,
Offer Jesus' body, given long ago.

I know you will need my touch as you go;
Feel it pulsing in creation's ebb and flow.
Like the woman reaching out,
Choosing faith in spite of doubt,
Hold the hem of Jesus' robe, then let it go.

I have given you a name, it is mine;
I have given you my Spirit as a sign.
With my wonder in your soul,
Make my wounded children whole;
Go and tell my precious people they are mine.

Your Hand, O God, Has Guided
(VU 274)
Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written
full clear on every page;
our forebears knew your goodness,
and we their deeds record,
and both of this bear witness,
'One church, one faith, one Lord.'

Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest, as to least;
they summoned all to hasten
to share the great King's feast,
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming,
'One church, one faith, one Lord.'

Through many days of darkness,
Through many scenes of strife,
The faithful few fought bravely
To guard your people's life.
Their gospel of redemption,
Sin pardoned, earth restored,
Was all in this enfolded
One church, one faith, one Lord.

And we, Shall we be faithless?
Shall hearts fail, hands hang down?
Shall we evade the conflict
And cast away your crown?
Not so in God's deep counsels
Some better thing is stored;
We will maintain, unflinching,
One church, one faith, one Lord.

Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won,
and then by earth and heaven
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be their anthem,
'One church, one faith, one Lord.'
