God is your source of strength and help – based on Psalm 121

God is your source of strength and help,
ground of this changing, cosmic scheme;
you need not look beyond the hills,
God folds you close in love unseen.
	
God never sleeps by day or night,
God's love will never lose its grip;
your God will never let you down,
your foot will never slide or slip.
	
The hottest sun will bring no harm,
nor will the moon bring hurt or fear
for God has guarded you with care,
and love will always hold you near.
	
Each journey that you make in life,
your coming in, your going out,
will show how much God loves you still,
through every danger, fear or doubt.

Life is tough, but God will hold - us inspired by Psalm 132: 1 – 12 (13 – 18)

1 Life is tough, but God will hold us
through each hardship of our lives,
when our hope is torn to ribbons
grace is present, love survives.

2 God will feed us bread of heaven,
finest wine to slake our thirst.
Those who grieve will know God's comfort,
those who waited will be first.

3 Hear the faithful offer praises,
here the poor will shout for joy,
grace and hope will give forever
love that nothing can destroy.
