MP50 \/ CH4 189 : Be still for the presence <\/strong><\/p>\n

Be still for the presence of the Lord
\nThe Holy One is here

\nIn him no sin is found
\nWe stand on holy ground
\nBe still for the presence of the Lord
\nThe Holy One is here<\/p>\n

Be still for the glory of the Lord
\nIs shining all around
\nHe burns with holy fire
\nWith splendour he is crowned
\nHow awesome is the sight
\nOur radiant king of light
\nBe still for the glory of the Lord
\nIs shining all around<\/p>\n

Be still for the power of the Lord
\nis moving in this place
\nHe comes to cleanse and heal
\nTo minister his grace
\nNo work too hard for him
\nIn faith receive from him
\nBe still for the power of the Lord

1 Samuel 3 : 1 \u2013 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boy Samuel ministered\u00a0before the\u00a0Lord\u00a0under Eli. In those days the word of the\u00a0Lord\u00a0was rare;\u00a0there were not many visions.<\/p>\n

One night Eli, whose eyes\u00a0were becoming so weak that he could barely see,\u00a0was lying down in his usual place.\u00a0The lamp\u00a0of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house\u00a0of the\u00a0Lord, where the ark\u00a0of God was.\u00a0Then the\u00a0Lord\u00a0called Samuel.
\nSamuel answered, \u201cHere I am.\u201d\u00a0And he ran to Eli and said, \u201cHere I am; you called me.\u201d
\nBut Eli said, \u201cI did not call; go back and lie down.\u201d So, he went and lay down.<\/p>\n

Again the\u00a0Lord\u00a0called, \u201cSamuel!\u201d
\nAnd Samuel got up and went to Eli and said,
\n\u201cHere I am; you called me.\u201d
\n\u201cMy son,\u201d Eli said, \u201cI did not call; go back and lie down.\u201d
\nNow Samuel did not yet know\u00a0the\u00a0Lord: The word\u00a0of the\u00a0Lord\u00a0had not yet been revealed\u00a0to him.<\/p>\n

A third time the\u00a0Lord\u00a0called, \u201cSamuel!\u201d And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said,
\n\u201cHere I am; you called me.\u201d
\nThen Eli realized that the\u00a0Lord\u00a0was calling the boy.
\nSo, Eli told Samuel, \u201cGo and lie down, and if he calls you, say, \u2018Speak,\u00a0Lord, for your servant is listening.\u2019\u201d So, Samuel went and lay down in his place
\nThe\u00a0Lord\u00a0came and stood there, calling as at the other times, \u201cSamuel! Samuel!\u201d
\nThen Samuel said, \u201cSpeak, for your servant is listening.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

MP 1350 : Speak O Lord<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
\nTo receive the food of Your Holy Word.
\nTake Your truth, plant it deep in us;
\nShape and fashion us in Your likeness,
\nThat the light of Christ might be seen today
\nIn our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
\nSpeak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
\nAll Your purposes for Your glory.<\/p>\n

Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
\nHoly reverence, true humility;
\nTest our thoughts and our attitudes
\nIn the radiance of Your purity.
\nCause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
\nYour majestic love and authority.
\nWords of pow’r that can never fail-
\nLet their truth prevail over unbelief.<\/p>\n

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
\nHelp us grasp the heights of Your plans for us\u2014
\nTruths unchanged from the dawn of time
\nThat will echo down through eternity.
\nAnd by grace we’ll stand on Your promises,
\nAnd by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us.
\nSpeak, O Lord, till Your church is built
\nAnd the earth is filled with Your Glory<\/p>\n

CH4 721 : We lay our broken world
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We lay our broken world
\nIn sorrow at your feet
\nHaunted by hunger war and fear
\nOppressed by power and hate<\/p>\n

Here human life seems less
\nthan profit might and pride
\nThough to unite us all in you
\nYou lived and loved and died<\/p>\n

We bring our broken selves
\nconfused and closed and tired
\nThen through your gift of healing grace
\nnew purpose is inspired<\/p>\n

Come Spirit on us breathe
\nWith life and strength anew
\nFind in us love and hope and trust
\nAnd lift us up to you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
