“You are my hiding-place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7 NIV

Worship
You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
With songs of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
Let the weak say
I am strong
In the strength of the Lord
You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
With songs of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid
I will trust in You
You are my hiding place (I will trust in You)
You always fill my heart (Let the weak say)
With songs of deliverance (I am strong)
Whenever I am afraid (In the strength of the Lord)
I will trust in You.
Repeat
Michael James Ledner
There is power in knowing and speaking out scripture and what better way to learn than sing it!
God who is trustworthy,
Sundays we worship and put our trust in You. But of course Monday always follows. The news is depressing, the smart meter is whizzing round showing the growing heating bill. Unexpecting things complicated our day and week!
Thank you, that trust does not mean we are super spiritual, super human or in control of the normal demands and stress of life. I love it that as the Psalmist says, whenever I am afraid I will trust in You. He knows we all have our moments of worry and fear.
So we ask You to help us hold our trust before us so to speak. So we constantly see everything that happens as an opportunity to trust You and see You at work in our lives. When we cannot see we will trust. Then trust can reassure us that You will see us through.
Help us to be honest with You, so when we are hurt, upset, or need deliverance from fear, we can hear Your song of love in our hearts and feel You holding us. When it is tough, we can retreat into You and trust You to hold us, reassure us and lead us forward. Thank You that we can trust You.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
God and Father, In whom we trust,
For all our family, friends and neighbours. Thank You for every one of them. Bless them.
For our church fellowships, ministers, church officials, congregations. Lead us forward.
For those in fearful situations provide a way out to safety and help.
For King Charles, the Queen and the royal family as they seek to serve the nation.
For our government and their families. Lead our country to the best Government and best future.
For Ukraine a withdrawal of Russian troops. Lead them to peace and end to oppression.
For all areas where there is war, military oppression and civil war. For peace and a new way forward. Gaza, Sudan, the Middle East, Afghanistan, North Korea, Nigeria . . .
For our local community, our neighbours, doctors, dentists and schools.
For winter rest for the land even though we do not always enjoy the cold and wet.
Thank You for daylight, electric lights and the light of Your Word.
For ourselves and our needs for this day, may it be full of warmth and comfort and encouragement..
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Father, I place into your hands
The things I cannot do,
Father, I place into your hands
The things that I’ve been through.
Father, I place into your hands
The way that I should go,
For I know I always can trust you.
Father, I place into your hands
My friends and family.
Father, I place into your hands
The things that trouble me.

The person I would be,
For I know I always can trust you.
Father, we love to see your face,
We love to hear your voice.
Father, we love to sing your praise
And in your name rejoice.
Father, we love to walk with you
And in your presence rest,
For we know we always can trust you.
Father, I want to be with you
And do the things you do.
Father, I want to speak the words
That you are speaking too.
Father, I want to love the ones
That you will draw to you,
For I know that I am one with you.
