O God You Search Me
Verse 1
O God, you search me, and you know me
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze
When I walk or lie down, you are before me
Ever the maker and keeper of my daysVerse 2
You know my resting and my rising
You discern my purpose from afar
And with love everlasting, you besiege me
In every moment of life or death, you areVerse 3
Before a word is on my tongue, Lord
You have known its meaning through and through
You are with me beyond my understanding
God of my present my past and future too
Take our bread
Refrain
Take our bread, we ask you take our hearts, We love you take our lives, O Father we are Yours, we are Yours.
Verse 1
Yours as we stand at the table you set. Yours as we eat the bread, our hearts can't forget. We are the signs of Your life with us yet. We are Yours, we are Yours.
Verse 2
Your holy people stand washed in Your blood, Spirit filled yet hungry we await Your food. We are poor, but we've brought ourselves the best we could We are Yours, we are Yours.
Communion
As the deer
Verse 1
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship TheeRefrain
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship TheeVerse 2
You’re my friend and you are my brother
Even though You are a king
I love You more than any other
So much more than anythingVerse 3
I love You more than gold or silver,
Only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye.
