Today... 'The Creator of Israel
The Lord your God, Jehovah the Holy One
Created you from Jacob, Abrahams son
And He led you out of your captivity
When He parted a way right through the red sea
Chariots and horses He then overthrew
And covered them with water to protect you
snuffing them out like a wick they disappeared
The Creator of Israel is to be feared

Today... 'The Father Of Lights
'Let there be light, ' the Triune God said
and upon its way the firstborn light sped.
Steadfast and immovable is the Lord
and does not vary at all from His word.
In Him is no shadow of turning found
From the Father of Lights all gifts come down.
Good and perfect gifts descend from above
and shower upon us in His perfect love.

Today... 'The God of All Comfort
The healing balm of God floods into my soul
as I rest in the Lord, I feel so whole
The God of all comfort embraces me
My Father of compassion He'll always be.
I stand complete in Him and feel so whole
and peace, perfect peace floods into my soul.
The Joy of the Lord fills me completely
as The God of all comfort, comforts me.

Today... 'Fortress of salvation for his anointed one
A fortress of salvation is the Lord
the strength of all those trusting in His word.
The shepherd of His people and their shield
a mighty stronghold that will never yield.
They shall be forever safe and secure
and although time shall fade they shall endure.
With angelic voices their anthem raise.
all joining together to sing His praise.

Today... 'Immanuel
God with us, Immanuel
Came to earth through Israel.
A virgin gave birth to a Son
Jesus The Belovèd One.
God with us, Immanuel
Came to earth with man to dwell.
Walked this way in holiness
His Glory veiled by earthly flesh.
God with us, Immanuel
Came to earth God's Love to tell.
In obedience to God's will
He climbed the path to Calvary's hill.

Today... 'Holy Servant
Oh Holy Servant of God
The pathways of earth You trod
walked with mankind healing the blind
Oh Holy Servant of God
Oh Holy Servant of God
the hill of Calvary You trod
and from that cross You saved the lost
Oh Holy Servant of God
Oh Holy Servant of God
all the way to the grave You trod
and from that grave reached out to save
Oh Holy Servant of God

Today... 'Anointed of the Lord
I have become Your Father, You are my Son
The ends of the earth shall be Your possession
Vainly do kings plot and conspire together
For You will rule them with an iron sceptre
'Let us join together against Him' they say
'Against the One God has anointed today'
God enthroned in heaven will just laugh and say
'My King reigns upon My holy hill this day'

Today... 'The Father of Glory
The angelic hosts behold the wondrous sight
of their glorious God surrounded in light.
Reigning on high as the Lord of history
enthroned in heaven, the Father of Glory.
For He's the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
Who offered His life in perfect sacrifice
that we may have the Spirit of Revelation
the knowledge and blessings of His Salvation.

Today... 'The Branch of Righteousness
Behold the days are now coming says the Lord
When a king will reign according to my word.
From David a Branch of Righteousness has come
the forerunner of the heavenly kingdom.
David's greater Son and God's Beloved One:
Jesus the Messiah has His reign begun
He came to us from heaven by virgin birth
to bring judgment and righteousness to earth.

Today... 'Foundation laid in Zion
There on Zion's mount stands a foundation stone
upon which the church through the ages has grown.
A cornerstone that the Lord Jehovah laid.
A tried and tested stone that will not fade.
How firm a Foundation we have in the Lord
as He builds The Living Church upon His Word.
No other foundation will ever suffice
for we stand upon Christ's perfect sacrifice.
