"Listen to the Word of the Lord"
1. Listen to the Word of the Lord
Listen to the Word of the Lord
Great and wise, good and kind
Listen to the Word of the Lord
2. Learn to know the sound of God's voice
Learn to know the sound of God's voice
Strong and sure calm and pure
Learn to know the sound of God's voice.
CHORUS: Hear and believe God,
Trust and obey
Walk in His wisdom
every day
3. Lean on every promise of God
Lean on every promise of God
Tried and true holding you
Lean on every promise of God (CHORUS)
4. Jesus is the Word of the Lord
Jesus is the Word of the Lord
Great and wise good and kind
Jesus is the Word of the Lord (CHORUS)

“You Are Mine"
1. I will come to you in the silence
I will lift you from all your fear
You will hear My voice
I claim you as My choice
Be still, and know I am near.
2. I am hope for all who are hopeless
I am eyes for all who long to see
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light
Come and rest in Me.
CHORUS: Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine!
3. I am strength for all the despairing
Healing for the ones who dwell in shame
All the blind will see, the lame will all run free
And all will know My name! (Chorus)
4. I am the Word that leads all to freedom
I am the peace the world cannot give
I will call your name, embracing all your pain
Stand up, now, walk, and live. (CHORUS x2)
