Kenyan Praise Medley

1- With longing and desire and years of patience
With all conviction and faith
To the heavens we gaze and wait
To see You with our eyes.

Refrain
And the night is passing, the night has gone
And the day light is at hand
And our Bridegroom's come to take us
To our homes in the skies.

2- The days have passed, of our estrangement
And those days will never return
The signs have appeared, the trials disappeared
How lovely's that promised day

3- We arise and rejoice, at the trumpet's sound
The day our Christ meets us
Praising at all times, and proclaiming
Glory to You O Savior.

4- O our Lord, come, our Beloved, come
Our souls cry out for You
Fulfill Your pledge, show Your kindness
Your people wait for You.

The Night is Passing (George Beshara & Erin Melek)

Christ be my light 
Christ be my shield 
Christ when I’m standing 
Christ when I kneel 
Christ here beside me
On my left and my right 
Christ all around me 
All my days and my nights

You feed every bird 
Clothe every field 
Why would I worry? 
What more do I need? 
The same hands that hold me
Hung the stars in the skies 
Soften a hard heart
Lord make for me new eyes 

You’ll find every coin 
You’ll find every sheep
Precious in your sight 
For one lost you’ll weep 
Bought at a great price 
But I wasted it all 
An heir of a kingdom 
Who forgot her King’s call

Christ in my valleys
Christ at my peaks 
With every breath 
Your face help me seek 
Be here beside me 
On my left and my right 
Christ all around me
All my days and my nights

Lyrics:

Forgive me my Redeemer
And bless me o Lord Jesus
My eyes are filled with tears
Pleading for forgiveness

You are the living God
Very soon you will come
You'll come and forgive us
And wipe away our tears

With all the world's temptations
We fall into tribulations
O strenghen us Lord Jesus
We are pleading O Lord

Lord, overlook our sins
Be gracious unto us
And place Your hands upon us
Please bless us one and all

We are Your hand's creation
Your servants and Your children
All sinners and believers
Lead us to still waters

O Lord, we are not worthy
Your gifts we're not deserving
Your love is overwhelming
In reverence we bow down

Our hearts You are seeking
And blessed is the one listening
With all his heart repenting
And with no turning back

Forgive me, My Redeemer
