1. MP 50 Be still for the presence of the Lord

    1. Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
      the Holy One, is here;
      come bow before Him now
      with reverence and fear:
      in Him no sin is found –
      we stand on holy ground.
      Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
      the Holy One, is here.

    2. Be still, for the glory of the Lord
      is shining all around;
      He burns with holy fire,
      with splendour He is crowned:
      how awesome is the sight –
      our radiant King of light!
      Be still, for the glory of the Lord
      is shining all around.

    3. Be still, for the power of the Lord
      is moving in this place:
      He comes to cleanse and heal,
      to minister His grace -
      no work too hard for Him.
      In faith receive from Him.
      Be still, for the power of the Lord
      is moving in this place.

  2. MP 988 How deep the Father’s love

    1. How deep the Father’s love for us,
      how vast beyond all measure,
      that He should give His only Son
      to make a wretch His treasure.
      How great the pain of searing loss –
      the Father turns His face away,
      as wounds which mar the chosen one
      bring many sons to glory.

    2. Behold the man upon a cross,
      my sin upon His shoulders;
      ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
      call out among the scoffers.
      It was my sin that held Him there
      until it was accomplished;
      His dying breath has brought me life –
      I know that it is finished.

    3. I will not boast in anything,
      no gifts, no power, no wisdom;
      but I will boast in Jesus Christ,
      His death and resurrection.
      Why should I gain from His reward?
      I cannot give an answer,
      but this I know with all my heart,
      His wounds have paid my ransom.
