Share my yoke
(Joy Webb arr. Ivor Bosanko) When I’m tired and nothing’s going right for me; When things I’ve counted on just do not come my way; When in my mind the thick grey folds of doubt arise, It’s then I seem to hear him say: Share my yoke and find that I am joined with you. Your slightest movement I shall feel and be there too! Share my yoke and come the way that I must go! In our ‘togetherness’ my peace you’ll know; The world beholding us will see it so! 2. When I’m perplexed and no one’s understanding me; When even safest thoughts collapse in disarray; When I’ve lost the things that always seemed so sure, It’s then I need to hear him say: 3. When I’m alone and nothing’s getting through to me; And isolation that increases day by day; When closest friends can seem a thousand miles away, It’s then I long to hear him say: Joy Webb
One life to live
(Gwen Redhead/Robert Redhead) One life to live, O may I live for thee! Give me your Spirit, and I shall be free. Free from desire my own way to pursue, Free to obey your will my whole life through.
2. I’ll live when I receive your Holy Spirit, The promised gift you said I should inherit. You planned it from the start, I give to you my heart, And now my spirit really can be free. Gwen Redhead
Prayer for a new world
(Tracey Binns)
For the people in our world, This is our prayer. May they live in peaceful times with plenty to share. Hunger and illness make life so unfair. War makes them lonely and scared. Be there with them, keep them strong, Show them your peace. For the people in our world, May hardship cease. 2. For the people in our town, This is our prayer. May they live in hopeful times with people who care. Those without homes who are lost and afraid; By caring, may hope never fade. Be here with them, keep them strong, Show them your hope. Grant the people in our town, Faith to cope. 3. For the people in our homes, This is our prayer. May they live in loving times, knowing you’re there. We may not be very strong without you. Lord, show us what we can do. Be here with us, keep us strong Show us your love. Grant the people in our homes Peace, faith and love. So much joy and love to share, Lord, hear our prayer.

I live within a world full of confusion, Where happiness is nothing but illusion. Attractions that deceive, In what can I believe? I’m tossed about by every wind that blows. Family Ministries
