Fill Us

I heading warily into the area of youth ministry, a place from which age disqualifies me rather.

However, I recently met some impressive young people who have been involved in Proclaim Lismore Wildfire and heard some of the music written by the people there. To my surprise there is a diocese that actually funds and encourages youth ministry.

They have lots of music, both recordings and sheet music at their site. I see no reason why schools around Australia should not be using these songs and better still making their own as well. That would certainly make for a hopeful Jubilee.

I am starting with their earlier material from 2019, simply because there is proper sheet music there rather than just chord charts, so it is easier to do backings.

“Fill Us” is a great song written by Rachael Kama, Emily Millan & Daniel Saban. It is from the collection All Things New. The sheet music and other resources are here.

My backing is more dance than theirs, but I gather this is for dancing and even has actions.

Verse x2

Come Lord, Jesus, come to meet us, 

Fill this place. 

In the fullness of Your presence, we find grace

Prechorus

Only You can satisfy. 

Fill the emptiness inside. 

Chorus x2

You give life! Jesus overflow in us.
Take our lives and fill us, fill us!
(Hey!) Fill us, Fill us!

Rpt everything so far then…

Bridge 1

You created us for this,

Bridge 2 x3

Overflowing, everlasting joy you came to give.
Never-ending, never-failing Love,
Within in our midst.
Unrelenting, overwhelming,
Peace, so we could live in…

(last time) the fullness of God.

Refrain x2
