1030   Ben Burge: Love For Little Ones  (Matthew 18:10-14)  (Venue: All Saints)

Blessed be Your name
In the land that is plentiful,
Where Your streams of abundance flow,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness,
Blessed be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out I'll
Turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, Lord,
Still I will say:

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me,
When the world's 'all as it should be',
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering,
Though there's pain in the offering,
Blessed be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out I'll
Turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, Lord,
Still I will say:

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

You give and take away,
You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say:
Lord, blessed be Your name.
(Repeat)

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Faithful One, so unchanging,
Ageless One, You're my rock of peace.
Lord of all, I depend on You,
I call out to You again and again.
I call out to You again and again.

You are my rock in times of trouble.
You lift me up when I fall down.
All through the storm Your love is the anchor,
My hope is in You alone.

Faithful One, so unchanging,
Ageless One, You're my rock of peace.
Lord of all, I depend on You,
I call out to You again and again.
I call out to You again and again.

You are my rock in times of trouble.
You lift me up when I fall down.
All through the storm Your love is the anchor,
My hope is in You alone.

You're the word of God the Father,
From before the world began;
Every star and every planet
Has been fashioned by Your hand.
All creation holds together
By the power of Your voice:
Let the skies declare Your glory,
Let the land and seas rejoice!

You're the author of creation,
You're the Lord of every man;
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

Yet You left the gaze of angels,
Came to seek and save the lost,
And exchanged the joy of heaven
For the anguish of a cross.
With a prayer You fed the hungry,
With a word You stilled the sea.
Yet how silently You suffered
That the guilty may go free.

You're the author of creation,
You're the Lord of every man;
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

With a shout You rose victorious,
Wresting victory from the grave,
And ascended into heaven
Leading captives in Your wake.
Now You stand before the Father
Interceding for Your own.
From each tribe and tongue and nation
You are leading sinners home.

You're the author of creation,
You're the Lord of every man;
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

Wide, wide as the ocean,
High as the heaven above;
Deep, deep as the deepest sea
Is my Saviour's love.
I, though so unworthy,
Still am a child of His care;
For His word teaches me
That His love reaches me everywhere.

I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me;
How He left His home in glory
For the cross on Calvary.
I was lost: but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray;
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.

I was bruised; but Jesus healed me -
Faint was I from many a fall;
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me:
But He freed me from them all.
Days of darkness still come o'er me;
Sorrow's paths I often tread;
But the Saviour still is with me,
By His hand I'm safely led.

He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet:
Then He'll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me;
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Saviour has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace.

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Saviour has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine.
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine.

My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Saviour has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace.
