Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness

Opened my eyes let me see.

Beauty that made this heart adore You,

Hope of a life spent with You.

Chorus: Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God.

You're altogether lovely, altogether worthy,

Altogether wonderful to me.

King of all days, oh so highly exalted,

Glorious in heaven above.

Humbly You came to the earth You created,

All for love's sake became poor. Chorus:

Lord, I lift Your name on high.

Lord I love to sing Your praises.

I’m so glad You’re in my life.

I’m so glad You came to save us.

You came from heaven to earth to show the way;

From the earth to the cross my debt to pay;

From the cross to the grave,

From the grave to the sky;

Lord, I lift Your name on high. (Repeat whole last song)

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.

I need Thee ev’ry hour, Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

Chorus: I need Thee, oh, I need Thee; Ev’ry hour I need Thee!

Oh, bless me now, my Saviour; I come to Thee.

I need Thee ev’ry hour; Stay Thou nearby.

Temptations lose their pow’r, When Thou art nigh. Chorus:

Thank you Jesus, for finding me.

Like a good shepherd your mercy leads

Back to your arms where I’m meant to be.

I thank you Jesus for finding me.

Thank you Jesus, for saving me.

You took my place on that cursed tree.

Died for sinners but rose as a King.

I thank you Jesus for saving me.

CHORUS: It’s only because of all you’ve done

That I can be called a friend of God

Oh beautiful Savior what else can I do

But lift up my voice and say, Thank you.

Thank you Jesus for loving me.

Shame lost its hold when you set me free.

Ev’ry fear has to bow at your free.

I thank you Jesus for loving me. CHORUS

BRIDGE I enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving

I enter the courts of the Lord with praise!

I enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving

I enter the courts of the Lord with praise!

CHORUS x2

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.

Chorus: 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!

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. Chorus:

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

Blessing all mine, with ten thousand beside! Chorus:

There's a story of unfailing love

That echoes in my heart

There's a promise that You're always here

Your word will light my path

We shall not fear the days to come

You are with us to the end

And everything is possible

Through God who gives us strength

CHORUS:

You make everything brand new

You're the God of miracles

And everything is possible

Through God who gives us strength

Whether I am rich or I am poor

I will give You thanks

I will lift my voice to sing Your praise

In every circumstance

When found in sickness or in health

I have learned to be content

'Cause everything is possible

Through God who gives us strength

CHORUS

For whosoever shall believe

Jesus made a way

His blood poured out on Calvary

Has broken every chain

CHORUS x 2

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern

for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show

it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be

content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I

know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in

any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty

or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION

serve Him and to love one another. But we have separated ourselves from

Him with our sins. So let us now confess our sins to Him and ask for His

forgiveness.

C: Merciful Father, I confess that I am a sinner. I make no excuses for

my sins. I have sinned against You by the things I have done and the

things I have not done. I come before You this morning in need of Your

forgiveness.

P: Jesus died to take away all of your sins. You are forgiven. You have been

washed in the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, and come before Him this

morning forgiven of all your sins. You are His child, and an heir of eternal

life. May God’s grace strengthen you to live each day as His forgiven and

dearly loved child.

C: Amen.

Your grace and mercy brought me through.

I'm living this moment because of You.

I want to thank You and praise You too.

Your grace and mercy brought me through.

Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary,

Pure and holy, tried and true.

With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living

Sanctuary for You. (repeat last song only)

THE APOSTLE’S CREED

C: I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by

the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third

day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is

seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will

come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion

of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the

life everlasting. Amen.
