***Thank you  for taking part in The Salvation Army Old Testament 150 Reading Challenge!* **

We are now in the final week, 
and so I hope you have enjoyed the opportunity to read Scripture together and consider what it has to say.

Please do check out the resources below - and may God bless you.

Wherever you worship, feel free to make use of these songs, and let us know how you get on!

 

We Believe
We believe the Holy Bible
Is God's word, inspired, divine.
May its pages so inspire us
Love with heart, soul, strength and mind.
God Almighty, awesome Saviour;
By His work His power is known
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
May God's love through us be shown.


( chorus)
We believe in the Holy Bible,
And our faith is in the Lord
We believe Christ died to save us,
Life eternal is our reward.


We believe our sin and weakness
Would keep us from God's design
Jesus died to make us worthy,
I am God's and He is mine!
Jesus' death saves all who trust Him,
Born again through faith by grace,
Daily trusting and obeying,
'Til at last we see His face.

We believe in resurrection,
Christ will come to take us home.
Set apart a holy people,
Til our work on earth is done.
Sin and death no more may sting me
God is just, in Him we trust,
God, Creator, Judge, Redeemer
Praise His name the First and Last.

'We believe' is a sung theology.



For use with the tune Blaenwern (without chorus) or, preferably with a completely new and contemporary styled tune which has proved to be popular, easy to remember, and which places proper emphasis where required. (This is a free resource - download music below)


Our hope is that this offering will help church-goers to recite and absorb our basic doctrines in order to inspire confidence and reassurance in a world where such things are being seriously challenged....and the accompanying new majestic music really has added such a huge amount to this, turning it into an act of worship and witness that can be easily accessed by all.

‘I want a holy heart’

Suggested Tune: 86  ‘Fewster’



I want a holy heart, dear God,
A heart from sin kept free,
A heart of gratitude for all
You did at Calvary.


To have a holy mind I yearn,
A mind both quick and pure,
To reason for the hope I have
And in my trials be sure.


More strength I need as on my way
New dangers I shall meet;
Keep pure my actions and each day
Temptation I’ll defeat.


I pray, dear God, my soul to keep
Along the path You tread,
Saved by Christ’s blood, and Spirit filled,
By Your Word now be fed.


My heart and mind are offered, Lord,
For You to use as best,
With all my strength and all my soul,
To live in holiness.
