All of my being longs for you Longs to know You, longs to hear You My soul pants of thirst for You All I need Lord, you're all I need PRECHORUS I will wait for an olive leaf A lonely bird looking for a place to land I will seek because You told me I'd find You CHORUS So I'll wait on You To answer my call I'll cry to You You will hear me Lord, You hear me VERSE 2 All of Your goodness draws me near Wanting words, I'm in awe of You All of my being longs for You To be with You, to be Yours BRIDGE Ohoh I adore You All You are and all You do

Verse 1 Oh in the morning, when I wake, Lord my soul and mind is fogged The earth all around me, closing in, The harshness and hurt it cuts deep like a knife and I feel the sin. Pre Chorus And my mind it wanders far, And my heart it turns so hard. And my mind it doesn’t know, That my heart it needs You so. Chorus I will pray and I won’t give up, Lord you bring me to my knees and fill my heart, You hear my prayer when the world is loud, You renew me, and You call me to call to You. Instrumental Verse 2 Oh in the daylight, life is bright, And the twists and turns move fast, I get distracted and confused, And it’s hard to remain in You. Pre Chorus And my mind it wanders far, And my heart it turns so hard. And my mind it doesn’t know, That my heart it needs You so. Chorus I will pray and I won’t give up, Lord you bring me to my knees and fill my heart, You hear my prayer when the world is loud, You renew me, and You call me to call to You. Bridge You hear my prayer, No matter where, I know You’re there, You hear me, You know me, You call me your own. Chorus I will pray and I won’t give up, Lord you bring me to my knees and fill my heart, You hear my prayer when the world is loud, You renew me, and You call me to call to You. Verse 3 Oh in the evening, life is calm, And You bring me to my knees. Lord you listen to my prayer, You are good and you are fair. And my mind it draws to You, And my heart it rests in you. And my mind it will adore, And my heart it says “I’m Yours”.

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me to my Father’s throne Make all my wants and wishes known. Pc: In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter’s snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Chorus: Lord be near me Lord you hear me I will approach your throne Ever faithful You are able You and you alone Vs2: Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With strong desires for thy return! Pc2: With such I hasten to the place Where God my Savior shows His face, And gladly take my station there, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! Chorus Bridge 1 My hope is sure as I lay my burdens bare My hope endures as He’s ever present there Bridge 2 My hope is sure as I lay my burdens bare My hope endures as He’s ever present there Chorus x2

Our heavenly Father! hear our prayer; Thy name be hallowed every where; Thy Kingdom come; Thy perfect will, In earth as heaven, may all fulfill Give this day's bread, that we may live; Forgive our sins as we forgive; Lead us temptation's snares to shun, And save us from the Evil One: Chorus 1 Let us pray…thy kingdom come Let us pray - thy will be done Now, and for ever, unto Thee, The kingdom, power, and glory be! Thus, as our Saviour taught to say, In truth and spirit, let us pray. OUTRO In earth as heaven, may all fulfill….. ..Our Father in Heaven…. your will be done, your kingdom come O Son our Savior forgive our sins as we forgive O Holy Spirit free us from every temptation

about

This Spring 2016 we’ve been exploring prayer at the Gathering. Preaching, praying, and singing our way through the Lord’s Prayer and the classic acronym A.C.T.S. This collection of songs is our attempt to pray twice as Brian Wren describes it - a reminder that song is as much prayer as we typically think of spoken prayer. This EP is our second attempt to bring original materials to the support of our preaching series.
