10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)

Chorus

Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

Verse 1

The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

Verse 2

You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

Verse 3

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Goodness Of God

I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God

All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night
You are close like no other
I've known You as a father
I've known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God

Bridge

Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
With my life laid down
I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after
It's running after me

From The Inside Out

A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in Your grace

Your light will shine when all else fades
Never-ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise

Your light will shine when all else fades
Never-ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart in my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Chorus 2

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never-ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out (Lord)

Nothing is impossible

I'm not gonna live by what I feel

And I know that You can do anything

Desert Song

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

All of my life in ev’ry season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
(REPEAT)

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

Hebrews 11:8-10

8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

Song Lyrics CCLI #@47738

Mighty To Save

Verse 1

Ev’ryone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Ev’ryone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations

Chorus

Saviour He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Verse 2

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Ev’rything I believe in
Now I surrender

Bridge

Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing
For the glory of the risen King
Jesus
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing
For the glory of the risen King

El Shaddai

Chorus

El Shaddai El Shaddai
El Elyonna Adonai
Age to age You're still the same
By the power of the name
El Shaddai El Shaddai
Erkamkana Adonai
We will praise and lift You high
El Shaddai

Verse 1

Through Your love and through the ram
You saved the son of Abraham
Through the power of Your hand
You turned the sea into dry land
To the outcast on her knees
You were the God who really sees
And by Your might
You set Your children free

Verse 2

Through the years You made it clear
That the time of Christ was near
Though the people couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be
Though Your Word contained the plan
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
In the frailty of Your Son

Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)

Verse 1

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep my faith will stand

Chorus 1

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Verse 2

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sov'reign hand will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

Interlude

Oh and You are mine oh

Bridge

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour

Interlude

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh Jesus yeah my God

Chorus 2

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

Leaning On The Everlasting Arms -Elisha Albright Hoffman

CCLI: 2870924 Copyright: Public Domain

Chorus 1:

Leaning leaning safe and secure from all alarms

Leaning leaning leaning on the everlasting arms

Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

O how sweet the walk in this pilgrim way

Leaning on the everlasting arms

O how bright the path grows from day to day

Leaning on the everlasting arms

Verse 3:

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

#2

Immortal invisible

God only wise

In light inaccessible

Hid from our eyes

Most blessed most glorious

The Ancient of Days

Almighty victorious

Thy great name we praise

Verse 2:

Unresting unhasting

And silent as light

Nor wanting nor wasting

Thou rulest in might

Thy justice like mountains

High soaring above

Thy clouds which are fountains

Of goodness and love

Verse 3:

To all life Thou givest

To both great and small

In all life Thou livest

The true life of all

We blossom and flourish

As leaves on the tree

And wither and perish

But naught changeth Thee

Verse 4:

Great Father of glory

Pure Father of light

Thine angels adore Thee

All veiling their sight

All praise we would render

O help us to see

'Tis only the splendor

Of light hideth Thee

I Know Whom I Have Believed

Daniel Webster Whittle, James McGranahan and Michael Adler

CCLI: 4850629 Copyright: Words: Public Domain , Music: 2005 Adler, Michael

Chorus 1:

But I know whom I have believed

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day

Verse 1:

I know not why God's wondrous grace

To me He hath made known

Nor why unworthy Christ in love

Redeemed me for His own

Verse 2:

I know not how this saving faith

To me He did impart

Nor how believing in His word

Wrought peace within my heart

Verse 3:

I know not what of good or ill

May be reserved for me

Of weary ways or golden days

Before His face I see

Verse 4:

I know not when my Lord may come

At night or noonday fair

Nor if I'll walk the vale with Him

Or meet Him in the air

SongLyrics CCLI# 247738

Raise a Hallellujah

I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies
I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief
I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody
I raise a hallelujah, heaven comes to fight for me

I'm gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, 
you're gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!

I raise a hallelujah, with everything inside of me
I raise a hallelujah, I will watch the darkness flee
I raise a hallelujah, in the middle of the mystery
I raise a hallelujah, fear you lost your hold on me!

Sing a little louder (In the presence of my enemies)
Sing a little louder (Louder than the unbelief)
Sing a little louder (My weapon is a melody)
Sing a little louder (Heaven comes to fight for me)

Trust and Obey

When we walk with the lord
In the light of his word
What a glory he sheds on our way
While we do his good will
He abides wih us still
And with all who will trust and obey

Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in jesus
But to trust and obey

Not a shadow can rise
Not a cloud in the skies
But his smile quickly drives it away
Not a doubt nor a fear
Not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey

Not a burden we bear
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil he doth richly repay
Not a grief nor a loss
Not a frown nor a cross
But is blest if we trust and obey

But we never can prove
The delights of his word
Until all on the altar we lay
For the favour he shows
And the joy he bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey

Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at his feet
Or we'll walk by his side in the way
What he says we willl de
Where he sends we will go
Never fear only trust and obey

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! - who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe.
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Join us in our YouTube channel at 10am PST for a live streamed service. A pre- and post- service Zoom meeting is a great way to connect and share some smiles. Check the YouTube video for a Zoom link!

Hebrews 11: 1-3

Faith in Action

11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.

3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command,so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Song Lyrics CCLI #247738

My Hope

Verse 1

Nothing will change if all the plans I make go wrong
Your love stays the same
Your light will guide me through it all
I'm hanging on I'm leaning in to You

Verse 2

Nothing can reach the end of all Your faithfulness
Your grace is with me
Through ev'ry shadow ev'ry test
I'm hanging on I'm leaning in to You

Pre-Chorus

I don't know where You'll take me
But I know You're always good

Chorus

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Your great love Your righteousness
I will not walk another way
I trust Your heart I trust Your Name
I'm holding on I'm holding on to You

Verse 3

You are my Rock when storms are raging all around
You shelter me God
I'm safe with You on solid ground
I'm hanging on I'm leaning in to You

Trust In You

Verse 1

Letting go of every single dream
I lay each one down at Your feet
Every moment of my wondering
Never changes what You see

Verse 2

I've tried to win this war I confess
My hands are weary I need Your rest
Mighty warrior King of the fight
No matter what I face You're by my side

Chorus

When You don't move the mountains
I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust I will trust
I will trust in You

Verse 3

Truth is You know what tomorrow brings
There's not a day ahead You have not seen
So in all things be my life and breath
I want what You want Lord and nothing less

Bridge

You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foundation
The Rock on which I stand
Your ways are always higher
Your plans are always good
There's not a place where I'll go
You've not already stood

Lord I Need You

Verse 1

Lord I come I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart

Chorus 1

Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev'ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You

Verse 2

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Bridge

So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay

We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord

Pre-Chorus

Our God You reign forever
Our Hope our strong Deliv'rer

The everlasting God

No Longer Slaves

Verse 1

You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
Till all my fears are gone

Chorus

I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

Verse 2

From my Mother's womb
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I've been born again into Your family
Your blood flows through my veins

You split the sea so I could walk right through it
My fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued me so I could stand and sing
I am a child of God

Prophesy Your Promise

Verse 1

I found You in the middle of my mess
You had been there all along
Open arms and open heart You called me in
You didn't hesitate at all

Pre-Chorus

And the lies I once believed
They crumble
With the weight of Your truth
And the fear that gripped my heart
Is arrested
So that I can see You

Chorus

When I only see in part
I will prophesy Your promise
I believe You God
'Cause You finish what You start
I will trust You in the process
I believe You (God)

Verse 2

You set a table in the middle of my war
You knew the outcome of it all
When what I faced looked like it would never end
You said watch the giants fall

Bridge

Fear can go to hell
Shame can go there too
I know whose I am
(God) I belong to You

Song Lyrics CCLI #247738

You Shine

Verse

Why should I fear man
When You made the heavens
Why should I be afraid
When You put the stars in place
Why should I lose heart
When I know how great You are
Why should I give up
When Your plans are full of love

Pre-Chorus

In this world we will have trouble
(But) You have overcome the world

Chorus

You shine
Brighter than the brightest star
Your love
Purer than the purest heart
You shine
Filling us with courage and strength
To follow You

It Is Well With My Soul

Verse 1

When peace like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say
It is well
It is well with my soul

Chorus

It is well with my soul
It is well
It is well with my soul

Verse 2

Tho' Satan should buffet
Tho' trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ hath regarded
My helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood
For my soul

Verse 3

My sin O the bliss
Of this glorious tho't
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross
And I bear it no more
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord O my soul

Verse 4

And Lord haste the day
When the faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend
Even so it is well
With my soul

Another In The Fire

Verse 1

There's a grace when the heart is under fire
Another way when the walls are closing in
And when I look at the space between
Where I used to be and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone

Chorus 1

There was another in the fire
Standing next to me
There was another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
Of how I've been set free
There is a cross that bears the burden
Where another died for me
There is another in the fire

Verse 2

All my debt left for dead beneath the waters
I'm no longer a slave to my sin anymore
And should I fall in the space between
What remains of me and this reckoning
Either way I won't bow to the things of this world
And I know I will never be alone

Chorus 2

There is another in the fire
Standing next to me
There is another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
What power set me free
There is a grave that holds no body
And now that power lives in me

Tag

There is another in the fire oh

Bridge

And I can see the light in the darkness
As the darkness bows to Him
I can hear the roar in the heavens
As the space between wears thin
I can feel the ground shake beneath us
As the prison walls cave in
Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between (us)

Verse 3

There is no other name
But the Name that is Jesus
He who was and still is
And will be through it all
So come what may in the space between
All the things unseen and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone
I know I will never be alone

Chorus 3

There'll be another in the fire
Standing next to me
There'll be another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
How good You’ve been to me
I'll count the joy come ev'ry battle
'Cause I know that's where You'll be
