Sing Along with Us
Lyrics for Hymns - Worship May 31
Friends we know you all love to sing. The lyrics will continue to be available in the description portion (below the screen) on the YouTube livestream at 11am on Sundays.
We have a new format to watch the Live Stream from a link on our website. You can also access it at live.mychapelhill.org On that format you can click notes (below the chatbox) and the lyrics will appear at the side of the video screen.
However, for those who have a printer at home, or wish to look at the lyrics from their phone while they watch the service on desktops or smart tvs ... here are the words to the hymns for this Sunday.
10,000 REASONS
Bless the Lord oh my soul, oh my soul;
worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul;
I'll worship Your holy name.
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning,
it's time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes.
Bless the Lord oh my soul, oh my soul;
worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul;
I'll worship Your holy name.
You're rich in love and You're slow to anger.
Your name is great and Your heart is kind.
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing;
ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.
Bless the Lord oh my soul, oh my soul;
worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul;
I'll worship Your holy name.
And on that day when my strength is failing,
the end draws near and my time has come;
still my soul will sing Your praise unending,
ten thousand years and then forevermore!
Bless the Lord oh my soul, oh my soul;
worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul;
I'll worship Your holy name,
yes I will worship Your holy name;
Lord I’ll worship Your holy name.
SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD
Spirit of the living God,
Fall fresh on us.
Spirit of the living God,
Fall fresh on us.
Melt us, mold us, fill us, use us.
Spirit of the living God,
Fall fresh on us.
Soul of heaven, heart of God,
Wash over us.
Soul of heaven, heart of God,
Wash over us.
Cleanse us, teach us,
hold us, reach us.
Soul of heaven, heart of God,
Wash over us.
Holy presence, love divine,
Cast out our fear.
Holy presence, love divine,
Cast out our fear.
Shield us, free us,
call us, lead us.
Holy presence, love divine,
Cast out our fear.
AS A FIRE IS MEANT FOR BURNING
As a fire is meant for burning,
with a bright and warming flame,
so the church is meant for mission,
giving glory to God’s name.
Not to preach our creeds or customs,
but to build a bridge of care,
we join hands across the nations,
finding neighbors everywhere.
We are learners; we are teachers;
we are pilgrims on the way.
We are seekers; we are givers;
we are vessels made of clay.
By our gentle, loving actions
we would show that Christ is light.
In a humble, listening Spirit
we would live to God’s delight.
As a green bud in the spring-time
is a sign of life renewed,
so may we be signs of oneness
‘mid earth’s peoples, many hued.
As a rainbow lights the heavens
when a storm is past and gone,
may our lives reflect the radiance
of God’s new and glorious dawn.
