Lord, I Need You
Matt Maher

Lord, I need you, oh I need you


Ev'ry hour I need you
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God, how I need you

1. Lord I come, I confess


Bowing here I find my rest
And without you, I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart

2. Where sin runs deep your grace is more


Where grace is found is where you are
And where you are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Where you are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

B./ So teach my song to rise to you


When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on you
Jesus, you're my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on you
Jesus, you're my hope and stay
Canticle of Simeon
James Post

Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake;


watch over us as we sleep,
that awake, we may watch with Christ
and asleep, rest in his peace.

Lord, let me depart in peace


according to your Word.
My eyes have seen your salvation
which you’ve prepared for all.
Lord, let me depart in peace
according to your Word.
You are the light in the darkness,
the glory to the world.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son


and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever.

Amen. Amen.
Sacred Silence
Tom Booth

Sacred silence, holy ocean


Gentle water, washing over me
Help me listen, Holy Spirit
Come and speak to me

1. God my Father, Christ my brother


Holy Spirit, sanctifying me
Lord, I'm sorry, please forgive me
Come and set me free

2. Holy Mary, gentle mother


God's pure vessel, praying for me
Saints and angels, all in heaven
Come and be with me
