As We Gather
As We Gather
As We Gather
As we gather may Your Spirit move amongst us, To God be the glory,
As we gather may we glorify your name; Great things He hath done,
Knowing well as our hearts begin to worship, So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
We’ll be blessed because we praise your name; Who yielded His Life an atonement for sin,
We’ll be blessed because we came. And opened the Life Gate that all may go in.
What a friend we have in Jesus, Let me walk, blessed Lord, in the way Thou hast gone,
All our sins and griefs to bear! Leading straight to the land above;
What a privilege to carry Giving cheer everywhere, to the sad and the lone,
Everything to God in prayer! Fill my way every day with love.
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear, CHORUS
All because we do not carry Fill my way every day with love,
Everything to God in prayer! As I walk with the heavenly Dove;
Let me go all the while, with a song and a smile,
Have we trials and temptations? Fill my way every day with love.
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged, Keep me close to the side of my Saviour and Guide,
Take it to the Lord in prayer. Let me never in darkness rove;
Can we find a friend so faithful? Keep my path free from wrath, and my soul satisfied,
Who will all our sorrows share? Fill my way every day with love.
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer. Soon the race will be o'er and I’ll travel no more,
But abide in my home above;
Are we weak and heavy laden? Let me sing, blessed king,
Cumbered with a load of care? All the way to the shore
Precious Saviour, still our refuge, Fill my way every day with love.
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
