You're welcome to add these words to your songbook, OHP acetate, multimedia file, as long as you acknowledge copyright in the usual manner for your part of the globe; most are registered with CCLi. Our home-grown songs include The Dung Song and Put down your arms as well as completing Thine be the Glory with a verse based on the cross. We recommend using this as the first verse to Thine be the glory, sometimes as a solo; it allows the congregation to rise into the refrain - which ends up being the whole of the first verse! Come, see the myst’ry; glory on the earth Humphrey J Baker, 1995, Three Humps Music Written after seeing God's tears: 1 Father, you’re weeping 2 Father, I’m sorry 3 Father, you’re smiling Humphrey J Baker, 1995, Three Humps Music, D Yet more tears following the pain of adultery and deception, in all cases perpetuated by the folly that the error was no worse than anyone else's mistake. Put down your arms pours out the desire to come alongside the accuser and walk with them to the foot of the cross. Some have considered this song too powerful for the congregation's ears. 1 When will you look into the face of all your games ® Put down your arms, surrender all; 2 Point your finger and tell me I’m wrong to point at you, Humphrey J Baker, 1999, Three Humps Music, D An opportunity to express more of God's love and life to each other. Sing this in pairs, one echoing the other for the first two lines; feel free to harmonise on the last line! Ideal during the sharing of The Peace, or instead of "saying the grace to each other". v I can love you Humphrey J Baker, 1996, Three Humps Music, Bb Further verses include: I can forgive you; I can pray for you .... That Jesus prays for me too. One day we'll hear the newly-weds singing "I can marry you because I know that God has ordained it too"! The Beatitudes: this version can be sung as a canon. Blessed are those who are poor in spirit Blessed are those ’ who mourn Blessed are those who live so meekly Blessed are those who thirst for righteousness Blessed are those who offer mercy Blessed are those whose heart is pure Blessed are those who share your peace Lord Blessed are you when you are persecuted Humphrey J Baker, 1999, Three Humps Music, F# A triumphant last verse for 'Father, hear the prayer we offer' Now we give thee all the glory © Humph Baker, 2002, Three Humps Music A second verse for Kathleen Thomerson's 'I love the name of Jesus' I love the name of Jesus, he walked on the earth, & he guides my feet each day; © Humph Baker, 1995, Three Humps Music; original © Kathleen Thomerson, 1970 Never disputed... I'm sure this was written by a lass called Cathy who drove me and my mates to the Saturday night fellowship in Allerthorpe in the mid-seventies in her VW Beetle. The vicar, David Johnson & his wife Jane, assure me that I wrote it. Hey ho, it says anonymous in all the song books. It was originally written in A, but most books transposed it to C. Come into his presence singing Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia © Humph Baker, 1975, Three Humps Music Written for a theme of summer services, complete with hand jive; the vicar laughed his head off when he returned from holiday. He moved from Holy Trinity, Ripon, to the Church of England's selection team.... Holy Joe! The life he led: People saw God alive in Joe, Then, as now, God spoke in dreams, Joseph knew a love so rare; Holy Joe! We can see God's hand Holy Joe, Jacob's Son; Wed to Asenath, Manassah your first born son; Ephraim your second, you loved your family; Justice, favour & honour © Humph Baker, 1995, Three Humps Music The youth weekend had four separate themes: Ephesians 5, Run the race, Beatitudes and Knowing Jesus. I used the Match of the Day inspired first verse (author unknown) and wrote three verses for the other themes. We eventually ran out of time and so we sang all four verses at the same time - each group singing their own verse. Great fun!
We're aware that many other verses have also been written for this tune. Put your helmet on your head © Humph Baker, 2002, Three Humps Music The Dung Song. Some think this is anti-Kingdom principles, others have laughed for hours. The sight of a giggly curate never leaves you. Enjoy richly: I love to go in beehives, cos I like to be stung, It's nice to laugh at others, I like to say they stink, I love to play with magic, I think it's just good fun © Humph Baker, 1995, Three Humps Music A few unusual ones collected over the years; I'm unable to find the author and copyright holder; if you know more, let us know - contact us via the Resources page. The well known first verse of this one was written by Dave Bilbrough Abba, Father, let me be yours and yours alone; Abba, Father, when I look up into your face Abba, Father, your embrace is security; Abba, Father, we are yours, help us to be one, © Dave Bilbrough (verse 1) 1977 Thankyou music; did Cloud write verses 2, 3 & 4?
