SONGS FOR WDP SERVICE 2015
1. WHAT I HAVE DONE
From the supper table Jesus rose
He gently removed His outer clothes
Round his waist a towel tied
Took a basin and applied
Water to each one of His disciples’ feet.
CHORUS:
Do you know what I have done to you?
Do you know what I have done to you?
As your teacher and your Lord
I your weary feet have washed
Do to others just as I have done to you.
Simon Peter, with protesting word,
“Not my feet – wash my whole body, Lord!”
Jesus helped them to admit
That dirt-soiled and unclean feet
Not cared for will corrupt the entire self.
Jesus came to serve, not to be served
Follow Him means to obey His word
So as long as we shall live
Humble service we must give
And encourage others to do just the same.

2. What You Gonna Do Next Year
What you gonna do next year,
Where you gonna visit?
What you gonna do next year

Come to The Bahamas
There are seven hundred islands in the sun;
You'll have a real good time and lots of fun
In the Bahamas there is sunshine all year round.

4. DO YOU KNOW
(Music: ‘Ballamena’ by Clement Bethel; Words: S. Annette Poitier)
Chorus:
Do you know, Do you know, Do you know what I have done to you,
Do you know, Do you know, Do you know what I have done to you.
Washed your feet and cleansed your soul and made you whole again.
(Do you know)
Washed your feet and cleansed your soul and made you whole again.
(Do you know)
Verse 1:
Cleansing your heart and cleansing your soul,
Jesus has washed you and made you whole.
As disciples now we must come to Him,
We are cleansed and washed and saved from sin.
Chorus
Verse 2:
No more to wander, no more to roam,
No more ponder, there’s peace at home;
For our Saviour still cleanses from Calvary’s tree,
Washed in His blood, our souls are free.
5. WHEN THE ROAD SEEMS ROUGH (by Clement Bethel)
When the road seems rough
When you’ve borne enough,
Don’t faint, Don’t sigh, Don’t cry, Wonder why;
Just keep on trying,
Cease your sighing;
Look beyond the present way.
This time will pass,
Tomorrow’s another day.
6. BRAND NEW WORLD (by The Visionaires)
We don’t like the way the world is turning, something inside us always yearning,
Yearning for a brand new world;
People everywhere are so confused, leaders don’t know just what to do,
Everybody wants a brand new world;
Don’t we send rockets to the moon and the stars,
And don’t we make ships and trains that go very far,
And there’s not a mountain that a man hasn’t climbed,
Yet a brand new world he could never find.
Chorus:
If you want a brand new world, you got to have a brand new people
And if you want a brand new people, you got to have a brand new life;
If you want a brand new life, you got to have a brand new spirit,
And if you want a brand new spirit, you got to come to Jesus Christ.
Teenagers try everything they could, yet I wonder if they ever would
Find themselves a brand new world.
An old man sitting in the bar-room door, he can’t find what he’s searching for,
O how he wants a brand new world.
A brand new world depends on me and you,
But we’ll never find it in the things that we do.
Jesus promised a world of His own
And He invites us to come along.
Chorus
So now I know you’ll understand why we have failed at every turn
To find ourselves a brand new world;
Jesus know that’s why He came to bear that cross of sin and shame,
So he could bring us to a new world.
Don’t we change governments many times in our lives,
The world is still the same why can’t we realize,
That you can’t change someone from the outside my friend,
No, a brand new world begins within.
Chorus
7. IN YOUR HANDS (by Rev. Allan Kirton; tune: Eres Tu)
You have all my future in Your Hands, in Your Hands,
I bid You take over all my life, Lord;
My dreams, aspirations, All my best, Jesus Lord,
My hopes, my fears, in Your Hands,
Keep walking beside me every night, every day;
And giving me courage for the frey Lord;
I need You to guide me every step of the way,
Forsake me not, O lord I pray.
Chorus:
In Your Hands, Lord I place today, tomorrow,
In Your Hands, Lord I surrender all.
in Your Hands, I commit my joy, my sorrow,
In Your Hands, Lord I surrender all.
You place many duties in my hands, in my hands,
And shaping my world is my task, Lord;
On You I depend Lord for the power, This I ask,
That all makes sense in my hands
So Lord I am trusting everything to Your Hands,
And then I keep praying for this land, Lord;
To labour with others for the best, Jesus, Lord,
Our all I place in Your Hands.
Chorus:
In Your Hands, Lord I place today, tomorrow,
In Your Hands, Lord I surrender all.
in Your Hands, I commit my joy, my sorrow,
In Your Hands, Lord I surrender all.
