What A Beautiful Name
Written By: Ben Fielding & Brooke Ligertwood
You were the Word at the beginning
One with God, the Lord Most High
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in You, our Christ
What a beautiful Name it is
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ our King
What a beautiful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
You didn’t want heaven without us
So Jesus, You brought heaven down
Our sin was great, Your love was greater
What could separate us now
What a wonderful Name it is
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ our King
What a wonderful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
Death could not hold You
The veil tore before You
You silence the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring
The praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again
You have no rival
You have no equal
Now and forever, God You reign
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name above all names
What a powerful Name it is
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ our King
What a powerful Name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
God Our Anger at Injustice
Written By: Gary Hopkins 2020
God, our anger at injustice
swells from deep within our core:
anger at decision makers
for oppression we deplore;
Anger at the ones who lead us
for indifference to the poor;
anger at the lies, deception,
Selfishness that we abhor.
Systems made to serve the privileged,
tightly gripped by those with power –
stripping others of life chances –
edicts from an ivory tower.
God our anger fires within us:
bring your justice, liberate;
come and shatter worldly systems;
take the least and make them great!
Channel grief and anger in us;
let us be your voice and hands.
Spirit, guide our justice-seeking,
take us where your love demands.
Christ destroys the power and forces,
chains of bondage, unjust strife,
not by might and raging violence
but a sacrificial life.
How long, Maker, Word and Spirit,
till such evils are reversed?
How long till your reign is finished
and the last become the first?
Hear us God, we pray for justice,
hear our cries for those oppressed,
hear our voices, never silenced,
till the least are truly blessed.
I Will Trust in the Lord
Written by James Moore
I will trust in the Lord
I will trust in the Lord
I will trust in the Lord
Till I die
I’m gonna treat ev’rybody right
I’m gonna treat ev’rybody right
I’m gonna treat ev’rybody right
Till I die
I’m gonna stay on the battle field
I’m gonna stay on the battle field
I’m gonna stay on the battle field
Till I die
I’m gonna stay on a bended knee
I’m gonna stay on a bended knee
I’m gonna stay on a bended knee
Till I die
Lift Every Voice and Sing
Words: James Weldon Johnson

Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song
Full of the faith that the
dark past has taught us
Sing a song
Full of the hope that the
present has brought us
Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won
Stony the road we trod
Bitter the chastening rod
Felt in the days when
hope unborn had died
Yet, with a steady beat
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place
For which our parents sighed
We have come
Over a way that with tears
has been watered
We have come
Treading our path through the
blood of the Slaughtered
Out from the gloomy past
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam
Of our bright star is cast
God of our weary years
God of our silent tears
Thou who hast brought us thus
Far on the way
Thou who hast by thy might
Led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path, we pray
Lest our feet
Stray from the places our God,
where we met Thee
Lest, our hearts
Drunk with the wine of the world
we forget Thee
Shadowed beneath Thy hand
May we forever stand
True to our God
True to our native land
