Hillsongs Publishing, admin, by Integrity’s Hosanna! Music
My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like you.
All of my days I want to praise the wonders of your
mighty love. My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge
and strength. Let every breath, all that I am
never cease to worship you.
Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing power
and majesty, praise to the King. Mountains bow down
and the seas will roar at the sound of your name. I
sing for joy at the work of your hands, forever I’ll love you,
forever I’ll stand. Nothing compares to the promise
I have in you.
Opening Prayer: ………….…….……….…..Jean Marie A.

Words: Frederick W. Faber, 1849, Music: Henri F. Hemy, 1864
1. Faith of our fathers, living still,, in spite of dungeon,
fire, and sword; O how our hearts beat high with joy
whene’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee
till death.
2. Faith of our fathers, we will strive to win all nations
unto thee; and through the truth that comes from God,
we all shall then be truly free.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee
till death.
3. Faith of our fathers, we will love both friend and foe in
all our strife; and preach thee, too, as love knows how
by kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee
till death.
“Teach Your Children”………………………….Musicians
Words and Music: Graham Nash © 1970 Nash Notes
You who are on the road
must have a code that you can live by,
and so become yourself,
because the past is just a goodbye.
Refrain
Teach your children well;
their parents’ health did slowly go by.
And feed them on your dreams,
the ones they pick, the ones you’ll know by.
Don’t you ever ask them why;
if they told you, you would cry,
so just look at them and sigh –
and know they love you.
And you of tender years
can’t know the fears that your elders grew by.
And so please help them with your youth.
They seek the truth before they can die.
Refrain
Teach your parents well;
their children’s health will slowly go by.
And feed them on your dreams,
the ones they pick, the ones you’ll know by.
Don’t you ever ask them why;
if they told you, you would cry,
so just look at them and sigh –
and know they love you.
