Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth and followed Thee.
Chorus
Amazing love! how can it be
that Thou, my God, should die for me!

No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach th'eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ my own.
Chorus
Amazing love! how can it be
that Thou, my God, should die for me!

Charles Wesley (1738)

The Message: All are Welcome

Lex McKee

A Time to Dance
Foot-tapping, heart singing, faith-bringing Rhythm.
Joy-coloured, life-tinting, love-glinting Music.
Shoe-splaying, hip-swaying, hand-clapping Movement.
Now is the time, the time to dance

Waltzing through life as we quick-step forward,
Sometimes it seems that the music falters;
Life’s beat extinguished or faint or shaken,
Hope gone to ground in deep sorrow’s bleakness.

Those are the
Times when the
Dance stops moving;
Days when the
Band puts away
It’s music;
