Amid the Fears that Oppress Our Day by Margaret Clarkson 2018-01-17

Amid the fears that oppress our day, Across the clouds that obscure our way, One golden truth sheds

its shining ray— Our God is sovereign still.

Refrain

His holy purpose unchanging stands, The stars still turn at their Lord’s commands; He holds the world in His mighty hands— Our God is sovereign still! Our God is sovereign still!

Though wars may rise, and though kingdoms fall, Though ills may threaten, and fears enthrall, Our God still lives, and He hears our call— Our God is sovereign still.

Refrain

Though fierce the fight ’gainst the hosts of wrong, His Word is sure, and His arm is strong; The day is His: raise His triumph song— Our God is sovereign still.

Refrain

When Christ shall come to receive His own, When His the kingdom, the pow’r, the throne, Eternal King He shall reign alone— Our God is sovereign still.

God of Creation, All-Powerful by Margaret Clarksoon 2018-02-21

God of creation, all-pow’rful, all-wise, Lord of the universe, rich with surprise, Maker, Sustainer, and Ruler of all, We are your children—you hear when we call.

God of the ages, through time’s troubled years, You are the one in whom hist’ry coheres; Nations and empires your purpose fulfill, Moving in freedom, yet working your will.

God of redemption, who wrought our rebirth, Called out your church from the ends of the earth, Still you are Savior, put darkness to flight; Overcome sin by salvation’s pure light.

God of your people, your Word still stands fast; Do for us now as you’ve done in the past! Yours is the kingdom, your triumph we claim, Challenging evil in Jesus’ strong name.

God of our now, all our trust is in you, Covenant God, ever faithful and true; Sov’reign Creator, Redeemer, and Lord, Now and forever your name be adored!

O Father, You Are Sovereign by Margaret Clarkson 2018-04-25

O Father, You are sovereign In all the worlds You made; Your mighty Word was spoken, And light and life obeyed. Your voice commands the seasons And bounds the ocean’s shore, Sets stars within their courses And stills the tempests’ roar.

O Father, You are sovereign In all affairs of man; No powers of death or darkness Can thwart Your perfect plan. All chance and change transcending, Supreme in time and space, You hold your trusting children Secure in Your embrace.

O Father, You are sovereign The Lord of human pain, Transmuting earthly sorrows To gold of heavenly gain, All evil overruling, As none but Conqueror could, Your love pursues its purpose— Our souls’ eternal good.

O Father, You are sovereign! We see You dimly now, But soon before Your triumph Earth’s every knee shall bow. With this glad hope before us Our faith springs forth anew: Our Sovereign Lord and Savior, We trust and worship You!

Our Cities Cry to You, O God by Margaret Clarkson 2018-05-05

Our cities cry to you, O God, From out their pain and strife; You made us for Yourself alone, But we choose alien life. Our goals are pleasure, gold, and power; Injustice stalks our earth; In vain we seek for rest, for joy, For sense of human worth.

Yet still You walk our streets, O Christ! We know Your presence here, Where humble Christians love and serve In godly grace and fear. O Word made flesh, be seen in us! May all we say and do Affirm You God incarnate still And turn sad hearts to You!

Your people are Your hands and feet To serve Your world today; Our lives, the book our cities read To help them find your way. O pour Your sovereign Spirit out On heart and will and brain: Inspire Your church with love and power To ease our cities’ pain!

O healing Savior, Prince of Peace, Salvation’s source and sum, For You our broken cities cry— O come, Lord Jesus, come! With truth Your royal diadem, With righteousness Your rod, O come, Lord Jesus, bring to earth The city of our God!

Sing Praise to the Father by Margaret Clarkson 2018-05-14

Sing praise to the Father, Creator and King, Whose mercy has taught us a new song to sing; Who made us, and loved us though rebels and lost, And planned our redemption at infinite cost.

Refrain

Bless the Lord, bless the Lord, bless the Lord, O my soul, For the grace that redeems, for the love that makes whole; O come and adore him, his glories proclaim, And worship before him—the Lord is his name!

Sing praise to the Savior, Redeemer, and Friend, For grace past all telling, for love without end; Who stripped off his glory, put on mortal sin, And died and was ris’n full atonement to win.

Refrain

Sing praise to the Spirit, the gift of God’s love, Who quickens our hearts with new life from above, Who woos us, subdues us, and seals us his own, And faultless presents us before his great throne.

Refrain

Sing praise to the Father, sing praise to the Son, Sing praise to the Spirit, great God Three in One; The God of salvation, of glory, of grace, Who wrought our redemption—my soul, sing his praise!

Refrain

So Send I You by Margaret Clarkson 2018-05-16

So send I you-by grace made strong to triumph O'er hosts of hell, o'er darkness, death, and sin, My name to bear, and in that name to conquer- So send I you, my victory to win.

So send I you-to take to souls in bondage The word of truth that sets the captive free, To break the bonds of sin, to loose death's fetters- So send I you, to bring the lost to me.

So send I you-my strength to know in weakness, My joy in grief, my perfect peace in pain, To prove My power, My grace, My promised presence- So send I you, eternal fruit to gain.

So send I you-to bear My cross with patience, And then one day with joy to lay it down, To hear My voice, "well done, My faithful servant- Come, share My throne, My kingdom, and My crown!" "As the Father hath sent Me, so send I you."
