REACH DOWN, OH LORD



REACH DOWN, OH LORD

Words by Marjorie Lockhart

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Reach down, oh Lord, and take my hand
So I may walk where you have planned.
Reach down, oh Lord, and dry my tears
That fall like raindrops through the years.

Refrain:
Reach down, oh Lord, and fill my heart
With love that never will depart.
Reach down, oh Lord, and free my soul
Once bound by sin to sorrow's role.

Coda:
Reach down, oh Lord, and lift my voice
Too long constrained
"Praise Him. Rejoice!"

REFRESH YOUR SPIRIT

Words by Denise Dewald

1
Take time out of your busy day
To find a quiet place.
Slip away, renew your spirit
And seek His holy Face.

Refrain:
Humble your spirit, wait to hear
The whisp'rings of His heart.
Send up praises and soon you'll find
The joy He will impart.

2
Then go back to your work refreshed,
The day will seem brand new.
For the love you give your Savior
He will give back to you.

(Repeat Refrain)

(Repeat 2)

Coda:
He will give back to you.
He will give back to you.

SAFE HAVEN



SAFE HAVEN

Words by Minnie Boyd Popish

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Here is a thought to cherish close,
The day is past and gone;
And who's to say with certainty
Another day will dawn?

2
Since we all know for sure is now,
It's all we sure must face;
And for a life made up of now
We never lack God's grace.

3
And even those who do not know
God holds now in His palm;
Will find that facing only now
Will give them greater calm.

(Repeat all)

SAVOR THE MOMENTS OF EACH DAY



SAVOR THE MOMENTS OF EACH DAY

Words by Clay Harrison

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Savor the moments of this day
And heal the wounds of yesterday.
Linger where the lilac grows
To share a dream the bluebird knows.

2
Rest a while beside a brook,
It's surely worth a second look.
The way you spend your time today
Determines what you take away.

Refrain:
Sow a seed and say a prayer
For God will bring a harvest there...
Savor the moments of this day
And heal the wounds of yesterday.

(Repeat 2)

(Repeat Refrain)

Coda:
Savor the moments of this day
And heal the wounds of yesterday.
