Dock Cafe has been hand-made by the people who use it, and live it, and love it. \u00a0That’s been true from the start – but recently I’ve really enjoyed finding all sorts of examples of how the boundless creativity of Dock volunteers is expressed in lots of little details of Dock life.<\/p>\n

Like the Ideas Box – this appeared a few weeks ago, complete with \u00a0bulb for those Lightbulb Moments, so that Dock Cafe customers can tell us if they can think of any way to make the place any more amazing!<\/p>\n

Or our new ‘decoupage’ table – pictured here with Cathryn who is now our resident ‘decoupager’.<\/p>\n

She did such a great job on this little circular table that we’re setting her loose on some of the bigger tables around the room – so watch this space… And if you want to suggest ideas for pictures to appear on the tables, you can always put them – there’s an idea – in the Ideas Box!<\/p>\n

And we’re even writing songs! \u00a0At last week’s Saturday \u00a0Night service we sang the very first worship song written by The Dock, for The Dock, by the incredibly talented Cath and Esther from the Saturday Nights team.
\n\"IMG_1741\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The lyrics are printed below – and if you want to hear the tune, which is utterly beautiful, you’ll have to come along to the next service on the first Saturday of May:<\/p>\n

At the end of every day my heart will echo heaven’s praise,<\/em>
\nAs I kneel before the King whose endless love cannot be stayed.<\/em>
\nAll His tenderness has found me, His compassion never fades;<\/em>
\nAnd He Fathers me forever in His mercy’s wide embrace.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the end of all my hope and when my courage is but gone,<\/em>
\nHe reminds me that He’s faithful, He’s the rock I’m standing on;<\/em>
\nFor He paid for my redemption and He suffered my disgrace,<\/em>
\nSo that I can live forever in the light of mercy’s face.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the end of all my striving let me fall down at His throne,<\/em>
\nCasting off my ragged pride I trust in Jesus’ blood alone;<\/em>
\nFor it’s here before His judgement seat I find that I am free,<\/em>
\nWhere He lifts my shame forever and His mercy covers me.<\/em><\/p>\n

To the end of all my journey He will Shepherd me by name,<\/em>
\nWith His righteousness my refuge when I cry to Him again;<\/em>
\nFor His grace is never-failing, so my strength and song will be:<\/em>
\nThat His goodness and His mercy have forever followed me.<\/em><\/p>\n
