All creation holds together By the power of Your voice: Let the skies declare Your glory, Let the land and seas rejoice! Refrain You’re the Author of creation, You’re the Lord of every man; And Your cry of love rings out Across the lands. 2 Yet You left the gaze of angels, Came to seek and save the lost, And exchanged the joy of heaven For the anguish of a cross. With a prayer You fed the hungry, With a word You stilled the sea. Yet how silently You suffered That the guilty may go free. 3 With a shout You rose victorious, Wresting victory from the grave, And ascended into heaven Leading captives in Your wake. Now You stand before the Father Interceding for Your own. From each tribe and tongue and nation You are leading sinners home. We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer 1 We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator, In grateful devotion our tribute we bring. We lay it before You, we kneel and adore You, We bless Your holy name, glad praises we sing. 2 We worship You, God of our fathers, we bless You; Thro' life's storm and tempest our Guide You have been. When perils o'er-take us You will not forsake us, And with Your help, O Lord, our battles we win. 3 With voices united our praises we offer, And gladly our songs of thanksgiving we raise. With You, Lord, beside us, Your strong arm will guide us. To You, our great Redeemer, forever be praise. O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus 1 O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free! Rolling as a mighty ocean In its fullness over me. Underneath me, all around me, Is the current of Thy love; Leading onward, leading home-ward, To my glorious rest above. 3 O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Love of ev'ry love the best! 'Tis an ocean vast of blessing, 'Tis a haven sweet of rest. O the deep, deep love of Jesus, 'Tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me; And it lifts me up to glory, For it lifts me up to Thee. Savior, Like a shepherd Lead Us 4 Early let us seek Thy favor; Early let us do Thy will; Blessed Lord and only Savior, With Thy love our beings fill: Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Thou hast loved us, love us still; Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Thou hast loved us, love us still. Be Thou My Vision 1 Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; be all else but naught to me, save that Thou art; be Thou my best thought in the day and the night, both waking and sleeping, Thy presence my light. 2 Be Thou my Wisdom, be Thou my true Word; be Thou ever with me and I with Thee, Lord; be Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son, be Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. 3 Be Thou my Breastplate, my Sword for the fight; be Thou my whole Armor, be Thou my true Might; be Thou my soul’s Shelter, be Thou my strong Tow’r, O raise Thou me heav’nward, great Pow’r of my pow’r. 4 Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, be Thou mine inheritance, now and always; be Thou and Thou only the first in my heart, O High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art. 5 High King of heaven, Thou heaven's bright Sun, O grant me its joys, after vict'ry is won; Great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, still be Thou my Vision, O Ruler of all. Love Lifted Me 3 Souls in danger, look above, Jesus completely saves; He will lift you by His love out of the angry waves; He's the master of the sea, billows His will obey; He your Savior wants to be, be saved today. Refrain: Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help, Love lifted me. Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help, Love lifted me. Announcements Pastor Matt Jackson

O give to Jehovah 1 O give to Jehovah, you sons of the mighty, O give to Jehovah the glory and pow'r. O give to Jehovah the honor and glory; in beauty of holiness kneel and adore. 2 The voice of Jehovah comes down on the waters; in thunder the God of all glory draws nigh. And over the waves of the wide flowing waters Jehovah as King is majestic on high! 3 The voice of Jehovah is mighty, is mighty; the voice of Jehovah in majesty speaks. The voice of Jehovah the cedars is breaking; Jehovah the cedars of Lebanon breaks. 4 All life in His temple, His glory proclaiming-- God sits on the flood; He is King on His throne. Jehovah gives strength to His own chosen people; Jehovah with peace ever blesses His own. Arise, My Soul, Arise 1 Arise, my soul, arise; shake off your guilty fears; The bleeding sacrifice in my behalf appears: Before the throne my Surety stands, Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands. 2 Five bleeding wounds He bears; received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers; they strongly plead for me: “Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry, “Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry, “Nor let that ransomed sinner die!” 3 The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One; He cannot turn away, the presence of His Son; His Spirit answers to the blood, His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God. 4 To God I’m reconciled; His pard'ning voice I hear; He owns me for His child; I can no longer fear: With confidence I now draw nigh, With confidence I now draw nigh, And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry. Gaze on the Christ 1 Behold the Lamb, the spotless Lamb, Who takes away our sin; The debt we faced was not erased, But paid in full by Him. Chorus: Gaze on the Christ, our sacrifice On altar made of wood. Exalt the Lamb, the worthy Lamb, Who bought us with His blood. 2 Behold the Lamb, the bleeding Lamb, Who takes away the veil; His body torn, His soul forlorn, Christ cut to God a trail. 3 Behold the Lamb, the dying Lamb, Who takes away just wrath; God saw the blood of His beloved And over us has passed. 4 Behold the Lamb, the risen Lamb, Who takes away death’s sting; All knees shall bend, all praise ascend To Christ, the living King. Nothing but the Blood 3 Nothing can for sin atone, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Nothing good that I have done, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Refrain: Oh! precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer 1 Jesus draw me ever nearer As I labor through the storm. You have called me to this passage, And I'll follow, though I'm worn. Refrain: May this journey bring a blessing, May I rise on wings of faith; And at the end of my heart's testing, With Your likeness let me wake. 2 Jesus guide me through the tempest; Keep my spirit staid and sure. When the midnight meets the morning, Let me love You even more. 3 Let the treasures of the trial Form within me as I go - at the end of this long passage, Let me leave them at Your throne. Blessed Be the Name 2 Jesus, the name that calms my fear, Blessed be the name of the Lord! 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, Blessed be the name of the Lord! Refrain: Blessed be the name, Blessed be the name, Blessed be the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name, Blessed be the name, Blessed be the name of the Lord! Announcements Pastor Mike Holt

Come, Thou Almighty King 1 Come, Thou Almighty King, Help us Thy name to sing, Help us to praise: Father, all glorious, O'er all victorious, Come, and reign over us, Ancient of Days. 2 Come, Thou Incarnate Word, Gird on Thy mighty sword, Our prayer attend! Come, and Thy people bless, And give Thy word success: Spirit of holiness, On us descend. 3 Come, Holy Comforter, Thy sacred witness bear In this glad hour! Thou, who almighty art, Now rule in ev'ry heart And ne'er from us depart, Spirit of pow'r. 4 To Thee, great One in Three, The highest praises be, Hence evermore; Thy sov'reign majesty May we in glory see, And to eternity Love and adore. Leaning on the Everlasting Arms 1 What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Refrain: Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms. 2 Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms; Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms. 3 What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Jesus, Lover of My Soul 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on Thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help from Thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in Thee I find: raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the Fountain art, freely let me take of Thee, spring Thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. We Will Glorify 1 We will glorify the King of Kings, We will glorify the Lamb! We will glorify the Lord of Lords, Who is the great I AM! 2 Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty, We will bow before His throne! We will worship Him in righteousness, We will worship Him alone! 3 He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth, He is Lord of all who live! He is Lord above the universe, All praise to Him we give! 4 Hallelujah to the King of Kings, Hallelujah to the Lamb! Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords Who is the great I AM! Complete in Thee 1 Complete in Thee! No work of mine May take, dear Lord, the place of Thine; Thy blood hath pardon bought for me, And I am now complete in Thee. Refrain: Yea, justified! O blessed thought! And sanctified! Salvation wrought! Thy blood hath pardon bought for me, And glorified, I too, shall be! 2 Complete in Thee! I die to sin, Thy grace hath conquered, reign within; Thy voice shall bid the tempter flee, And I shall stand, complete in Thee. 3 Complete in Thee! Each need supplied, And no good thing to me denied; Since Thou my portion, Lord, will be, I ask no more, complete in Thee. 4 Dear Savior! When before Thy bar All tribes and tongues assembled are, Among Thy chosen will I be, At Thy right hand, complete in Thee. Standing on the Promises 1 Standing on the promises of Christ my King, Thro' eternal ages let His praises ring; Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God. Refrain: Standing, standing, Standing on the promises of God my Savior; Standing, standing, I'm standing on the promises of God. Announcements Pastor Shannon Whisenhunt

Praise we the Lord in heaven on high! Praise we the Lord in heaven on high! 2 There shall be born, so he did say, In Bethlehem a Child today. 3 There shall the Child lie in a stall, This Child who shall redeem us all. 4 This gift of God we'll cherish well, That ever joy our hearts shall fill. Love divine, all Loves Excelling 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down; Fix in us Thy humble dwelling; All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter ev'ry trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest. Take away our love to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy grace receive; Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave.

Refrain: Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin. Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery 1 Come behold the wondrous mystery in the dawning of the King. He the theme of heaven’s praises robed in frail humanity. In our longing, in our darkness now the light of life has come. Look to Christ, who condescended took on flesh to ransom us 2 Come behold the wondrous mystery He the perfect Son of Man. In His living, in His suffering never trace nor stain of sin. See the true and better Adam come to save the hell-bound man. Christ the great and sure fulfillment of the law; in Him we stand. 3 Come behold the wondrous mystery Christ the Lord upon the tree. In the stead of ruined sinners hangs the Lamb in victory. See the price of our redemption; see the Father’s plan unfold. Bringing many sons to glory grace unmeasured, love untold. 4 Come behold the wondrous mystery; slain by death the God of life. But no grave could e’er restrain Him; praise the Lord; He is alive! What a foretaste of deliverance; how unwavering our hope. Christ in power resurrected as we will be when he comes. Great Is thy Faithfulness 1 Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father; there is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; as Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be. Refrain: Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; all I have needed Thy hand hath provided: great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me! 2 Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest; sun, moon, and stars in their courses above join with all nature in manifold witness to Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. 3 Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow: blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great Shepherd Who Leads Great Shepherd who leads all Your people in love, where angels are dwelling, You reign from above. In might come redeem us, Your people restore, and we shall be saved when Your face shines once more. Make haste, Lord, to hear us and pity our woes, affliction our portion, despised by our foes. O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, and we shall be saved when Your face shines once more. A place for Your people Your hand has prepared; Your vine, deeply rooted, bore fruit in Your care. Its branches like cedars, majestic and free, spread over the mountains from river to sea. Your vineyard lies barren, no shelter it knows; defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes. Return, Lord, we pray; in Your mercy, restore the vine that is trampled to blossom once more. When You have revived us, Your name we will praise, and follow, unfailing, to walk in Your ways. O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, and we shall be saved when Your face shines once more. Go, Tell It On the Mountain Refrain: Go, tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born 1 While shepherds kept their watching O'er silent flocks by night, Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light. 2 The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! above the earth Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Savior's birth. 3 Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born, And God sent us salvation That blessed Christmas morn. O Little Town of Bethlehem 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth! 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today! We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord, Immanuel! The first Noel 3 And by the light of that same star The wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Chorus: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 4 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord Who hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought. Who Is He in Yonder Stall? 1 Who is He in yonder stall, At whose feet the shepherds fall? Who is He in deep distress, Fasting in the wilderness? 'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord! the King of glory! At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him! crown Him Lord of all! 2 Who is he the people bless For His words of gentleness? Who is he to whom they bring all the sick and sorrowing? 3 Who is He that stands and weeps At the grave where Laz'rus sleeps? Who is He the gath'ring throng Greet with loud triumphant song? 4 Lo! at midnight, who is He Prays in dark Gethsemane? Who is he on yonder tree, Dies in grief and agony? 5 Who is he that from the grave Comes to heal and help and save? Who is he that from His throne Rules thro' all the world alone? Hark! the Herald Angels Sing 1 Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King. Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!” Joyful, all ye nations, rise; join the triumph of the skies; with the angelic hosts proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!” Refrain: Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!” 2 Christ by highest heav'n adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, late in time behold Him come, offspring of the virgin's womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail the incarnate Deity, pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel. 3 Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, ris'n with healing in His wings. Mild He lays His glory by, born that man no more may die, born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth. 4 Come, Desire of nations, come, fix in us Thy humble home; rise, the woman's conqu'ring Seed, bruise in us the serpent's head. Adam's likeness now efface, stamp Thine image in its place; Second Adam from above, reinstate us in Thy love. Announcements Pastor Matt Jackson

Jesus shall Reign 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does its successive journeys run; His kingdom spread from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 To Him shall endless pray'r be made, And endless praises crown His head; His name like sweet perfume shall rise With ev'ry morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of ev'ry tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song, And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name. 4 Let ev'ry creature rise and bring Honor and glory to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud “Amen”! Angels, from the Realms of Glory 1 Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King! 2 Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant Light: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King! 3 Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen the Infant's star: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King! 4 Though an Infant now we view Him, He shall fill His Father’s throne, Gather all the nations to Him; Every knee shall then bow down: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King! I Wonder As I Wander 1 I wonder as I wander, out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come for to die For poor ordinary people like you and like I; I wonder as I wander, out under the sky. 2 When Mary birthed Jesus, 'twas in a cow's stall With wise men and farmers and shepherd and all. But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall, And the promise of ages it did then recall. 3 If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing, A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing, Or all of God's angels in heaven for to sing, He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King. 4 I wonder as I wander, out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come for to die For poor ordinary people like you and like I; I wonder as I wander, out under the sky. More Love to Thee, O Christ More love to Thee, O Christ, More love to Thee! Hear Thou the prayer I make On bended knee; This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee! His Mercy Is More 1 What love could remember, no wrongs we have done Omniscient, all-knowing, He counts not their sum Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore Our sins they are many, His mercy is more. Chorus: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more. Stronger than darkness, new every morn’; Our sins they are many, His mercy is more. 2 What patience would wait as we constantly roam What Father so tender is calling us home He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor Our sins they are many, His mercy is more. 3 What riches of kindness He lavished on us His blood was the payment His life was the cost We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford Our sins they are many, His mercy is more. There Is Power in the Blood 3 Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow? There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood; Sin stains are lost in its life-giving flow; There's wonderful pow'r in the blood. Refrain: There is pow'r, pow'r, Wonder-working pow'r In the blood of the Lamb; There is pow'r, pow'r, Wonder-working pow'r In the precious blood of the Lamb. Announcements Pastor Matt Jackson

Join All the Glorious Names 1 Join all the glorious names of wisdom, love, and pow'r, that ever mortals knew, that angels ever bore; all are too poor to speak His worth, too poor to set my Savior forth. 2 Great Prophet of my God, my tongue would bless Thy Name; by Thee the joyful news of our salvation came- the joyful news of sins forgiv'n, of hell subdued, and peace with heav'n. 3 Jesus, my great High Priest, offered His blood and died; my guilty conscience seeks no sacrifice beside: His pow'rful blood did once atone, and now it pleads before the throne. 4 Thou art my Counselor, my Pattern, and my Guide, and Thou my shepherd art; O, keep me near Thy side: nor let my feet e’er turn astray to wander in the crooked way. 5 My Savior and my Lord, my Conqueror and King, Thy sceptre and Thy sword, Thy reigning grace I sing; Thine is the pow'r; behold I sit, in willing bonds, beneath Thy feet. Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending 1 Lo, He comes with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train: Alleluia, Alleluia! God appears on earth to reign. 2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him, Robed in splendor's majesty; Those who set at naught and sold Him, Pierced and nailed Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Now the Savior, long expected, See, in solemn pomp appear; All who have not Him rejected Now shall meet Him in the air: Alleluia, alleluia! See the day of God appear. 4 Yea, amen, let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the pow'r and glory, Claim the kingdom for Thine own: Oh, come quickly, oh, come quickly! Everlasting God, come down. O come, O Come, Emmanuel 1 O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here, Until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! 2 O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! 3 O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny; From depths of hell Thy people save, And give them vict'ry o'er the grave. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to Thee, O Israel. 4 O come, Desire of nations, bind All peoples in one heart and mind; Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease; Fill the whole world with heaven's peace. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! All I Have Is Christ 1 I once was lost in darkest night, Yet thought I knew the way. The sin that promised joy and life Had led me to the grave. I had no hope that You would own A rebel to Your will. And if You had not loved me first, I would refuse You still. 2 But as I ran my hell-bound race, Indifferent to the cost, You looked upon my helpless state And led me to the cross. And I beheld God’s love displayed, You suffered in my place. You bore the wrath reserved for me, Now all I know is grace. CHORUS Hallelujah! All I have is Christ. Hallelujah! Jesus is my life. 3 Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone, And live so all might see The strength to follow Your commands Could never come from me. O, Father, use my ransomed life In any way You choose, And let my song forever be My only boast is You. Tell It Out with Gladness "Go and teach," thus spoke the Master, Risen victor from the grave; Still He gives this great commission To His faithful ones, and brave. Let men know the gospel story Of what man through Christ can be. Send it! Send it to the nations That God's love may set men free. Announcements Pastor Jonathan Cole

God Is Our Strength and Refuge 1 God is our Strength and Refuge, a Helper ever near, While resting in His shelter, no evil will we fear, not if the mountains crumble into the angry sea, nor if the surging ocean exceeds its boundary. 2 A quiet stream refreshes the city of our God; His throne stands unaffected while kingdoms rise and fall. One word from Jacob's Savior will melt the raging throng. The Lord of hosts is with us; He is our fortress strong. 3 Behold God's glorious power; He makes all warfare cease. Each weapon He will shatter; the world will be at peace. "Be still!" cries heaven's Sovereign, "Be still, for I am God! All kingdoms, all creation will bow beneath My rod." 4 The violent sea turned placid when Jesus cried, "Be still!" Fears gone, twelve men stood gasping when waves obeyed His will. And soon the same voice speaking will calm earth's rebel storm. This Lord of hosts is with us both now and evermore! Praise Him! Praise Him! 1 Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! Sing, O earth, His wonderful love proclaim! Hail Him! hail Him! highest archangels in glory, Strength and honor give to His holy name! Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children; In His arms He carries them all day long: Chorus: Praise Him! Praise Him! tell of His excellent greatness! Praise Him! praise Him! ever in Praise song! 2 Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! For our sins, He suffered and bled and died; He our Rock, our hope of eternal salvation, Hail Him! hail Him! Jesus the crucified: Sound His praises! Jesus who bore our sorrows, Love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong: 3 Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! Heav'nly portals loud with hosannas ring! Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever; Crown Him! crown Him! Prophet and Priest and King! Christ is coming, over the world victorious, Pow'r and glory unto the Lord belong: Behold Our God 1 Who has held the oceans in His hands? Who has numbered every grain of sand? Kings and nations tremble at His voice All creation rises to rejoice CHORUS Behold our God seated on His throne Come, let us adore Him Behold our King! Nothing can compare Come, let us adore Him! 2 Who has given counsel to the Lord? Who can question any of His words? Who can teach the One Who knows all things? Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds? 3 Who has felt the nails upon His hands Bearing all the guilt of sinful man? God eternal humbled to the grave Jesus, Savior risen now to reign! CODA Men: You will reign forever Women: Let Your glory fill the earth Oh, How He Loves You and Me 1 Oh, how He loves you and me Oh, how He loves you and me He gave His life, what more could He give; Oh, how He loves you Oh, how He loves me Oh, how He loves you and me 2 Jesus to Calv’ry did go His love for mankind to show What He did there, brought hope from despair Oh, how He loves you Oh, how He loves me Oh, how He loves you and me Gaze on the Christ 1 Behold the Lamb, the spotless Lamb, Who takes away our sin; The debt we faced was not erased, But paid in full by Him. Chorus: Gaze on the Christ, our sacrifice On altar made of wood. Exalt the Lamb, the worthy Lamb, Who bought us with His blood. 2 Behold the Lamb, the bleeding Lamb, Who takes away the veil; His body torn, His soul forlorn, Christ cut to God a trail. 3 Behold the Lamb, the dying Lamb, Who takes away just wrath; God saw the blood of His beloved And over us has passed. 4 Behold the Lamb, the risen Lamb, Who takes away death’s sting; All knees shall bend, all praise ascend To Christ, the living King. Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It 1 Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; Redeemed thro' His infinite mercy, His child, and forever, I am. Chorus: Redeemed, redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; Redeemed, redeemed, His child, and forever, I am. Announcements Pastor Shannon Whisenhunt
Adoration
Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine 1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. Chorus: This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long. 2 Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight: Angels descending bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. 3 Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest; Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love. Crown Him with Many Crowns 1 Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne; hark, how the heav'nly anthem drowns all music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee, and hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity. 2 Crown Him the Son of God, before the worlds began, and ye who tread where He hath trod, crown Him the Son of Man. Who ev’ry grief hath known that wrings the human breast, and takes and bears them for His own, that all in Him may rest. 3 Crown Him the Lord of love; behold His hands and side, those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends his wond'ring eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those He came to save. His glories now we sing, who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 5 Crown Him the Lord of lords, who over all doth reign, Who once on earth, the incarnate Word, for ransomed sinners slain, Now lives in realms of light, where saints with angels sing Their songs before Him day and night, their God, Redeemer, King. Gaze on the Christ 1 Behold the Lamb, the spotless Lamb, Who takes away our sin; The debt we faced was not erased, But paid in full by Him. Chorus: Gaze on the Christ, our sacrifice On altar made of wood. Exalt the Lamb, the worthy Lamb, Who bought us with His blood. 2 Behold the Lamb, the bleeding Lamb, Who takes away the veil; His body torn, His soul forlorn, Christ cut to God a trail. 3 Behold the Lamb, the dying Lamb, Who takes away just wrath; God saw the blood of His beloved And over us has passed. 4 Behold the Lamb, the risen Lamb, Who takes away death’s sting; All knees shall bend, all praise ascend To Christ, the living King. There’s Something About that Name Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; there's just something about that name. Master, Savior, Jesus, like the fragrance after the rain; Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, let all Heaven and earth proclaim, Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, But there's something about that name. Not In Me 1 No list of sins I have not done, No list of virtues I pursue, No list of those I am not like, Can earn myself a place with You. O God! Be merciful to me-- I am a sinner through and through! My only hope of righteousness Is not in me, but only You. 2 No humble dress, no fervent prayer, No lifted hands, no tearful song, No recitation of the truth Can justify a single wrong. My righteousness is Jesus' life, My debt was paid by Jesus' death, My weary load was borne by Him And he alone can give me rest. 3 No separation from the world, No work I do, no gift I give, Can cleanse my conscience, cleanse my hands; I cannot cause my soul to live. But Jesus died and rose again-- The pow'r of death is overthrown! My God is merciful to me And merciful in Christ alone. We’re Marching to Zion 1 Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne, And thus surround the throne. Refrain: We're marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion; We're marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God. |
