These are some words I have come across in the past year or so.  They are
based on passages from the Bible.  Comments welcome.  So here goes....

				The Wedding
				--- -------
			Father, all our lives are yours
			To perfect in every way.
			To make us like your Son
			Your precious, holy One
			Who is coming back for us
			Those who have overcome
			By the word of our testimony
			And the blood of the Lamb.

			So come quickly Jesus
			Your bride makes herself ready
			We want to marry our groom
			Jesus.

				Untitled
				--------
			I will come before your presence
			With thanksgiving.
			I will come before your presence
			With my hands raised high.
			I will come before your presence
			With thanksgiving
			And when you come again 
			I will meet you in the sky

			'Tis your holy name I worship
			In your holy name I pray
			The pure and precious blood at Calvary
			'Tis your life you gave.
			Many people have tried to tell me
			That I can't walk that narrow way
			But I'm set apart unto you Lord
			And you alone I trust and obey.
							
						-- Anon.


				The Word
				--- ----
			When I go the Word shall lead me
			When I sleep the Word shall keep me
			When I wake the Word shall talk with me
			The Word is a lamp unto my feet

			The Word is light, reproof and instruction
			Keep it before mine eyes always
			The Word is the way of life everlasting
			The Word is health unto my bones.

			The Word endureth always
			It is light, the apple of mine eye.

						-- Bryan Brenneman	


				Hallelujah
				----------

			Hallelujah!  How I love to sing
			Hallelujah!  Let the joy bells ring
			Hallelujah!  Unto the King of kings
			Hallelujah!  Praise the Lord.
