Down to the River to Pray (choir)

As I went down to the river to pray,Studyin’ about that good old way

And who shall wear the starry crown:Good Lord, show me the way!

O, sisters, let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down,O, sisters, let’s go down, down to the river to pray.


And who shall wear the robe and crown:Good Lord, show me the way!

O, brothers, let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down,O, brothers, let’s go down, down to the river to pray.

O fathers, let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down,O mothers let’s go down, down to the river to pray.


And who shall wear the robe and crown:Good Lord, show me the way!

O, sinners, let’s go down, come on down, come on down,O, sinners, let’s go down, down to the river to pray.

Down to the river to pray!

I AMExodus 3:14; Psalm 124:8

O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,Our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home!

I AM the Holy OneIsaiah 43:15; 6:3

Holy Is He (choir)

Holy is He and great is His glory. Holy is He and worthy of our praise;I stand in His presence amazed, and crown Him with worship and praise!

Holy is He, holy is He, holy is He.

Who pardons my iniquities, who heals me from within?Who lifts my fallen life and sets me on my feet again?Who leads me like a shepherd when I’ve gone astray?My Lord, my God, my Jesus, the One I praise today!

Holy is He and great is His glory. Holy is He and worthy of our praise;I stand in His presence amazed, and crown Him with worship and praise!

Holy is He, holy is He, holy is He.(all, standing)

Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea;

Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

(choir)

Holy is He. Amen!(please be seated)

I AM the CreatorIsaiah 45:18

Join the Song

(choir)

Praise belongs to You, God of love, God of wonder.Creation worships You; see the stars, hear the thunder.

Rolling out a tapestry, shouting praises to the King of kings.

I will join the song, for my heart belongs to You,May my whole life sing to You, Hallelujah!

I will join the song, all the earth cries out Your name, I will lift my highest praise, Hallelujah!

Praise belongs to You, God of grace, God of power.The whole world sings to You; crashing waves, blooming flower.Every day a symphony, every voice raised to the King of kings.



The mountains bow before You, the morning stars proclaim;Each season paints a canvas of Your praise.

And with each waking sunrise, new mercies fall like rain;I am reminded You’re the God who saves.



Praise belongs to You, God of love.

(all, seated)

Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame,From everlasting Thou art God, to endless years the same.

I AM the Light of the World

John 8:12

Jesus, I Come

(solo)

Out of my bondage, sorrow and night, Jesus, I come, Jesus I come.Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light, Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of my sickness into Thy health, out of my wanting and into Thy wealth,Out of my sin and into Thyself, Jesus, I come to Thee.

(choir)

Out of my shameful failure and loss, Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come.Into the glorious gain of Thy cross, Jesus I come to Thee.

Out of earth’s sorrows into Thy balm, out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,Out of distress into jubilant psalm, Jesus, I come to Thee.

(all, standing)

Out of unrest and arrogant pride, Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come.Into Thy blessed will to abide, Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of myself to dwell in Thy love, out of despair into raptures above,Upward forever on wings like a dove, Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of the fear and dread of the tomb, Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come.Into the joy and light of Thy home, Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of the depths of ruin untold, into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,Ever Thy glorious face to behold, Jesus, I come to Thee.

(please be seated)

I AM the Way, the Truth,and the Life

John 14:6

The Way, The Truth, The Life

(choir)

Son of Man, Lamb of God, Beginning and the End.Holy Savior, Bright Morning Star, Vine, Redeemer, Friend.

Blameless, risen Sacrifice, the Way, the Truth, the Life.

Without sin, Righteous One, Eternal, Living Word. Rock of Ages, Light of the World, Christ, Messiah, Lord.

Bread of Heaven, grace divine, the Way, the Truth, the Life.

Lord of lords, King of kings, Who was, Who is and Who will be. Strong Tower, Mighty God, Prince of Glory, Prince of Peace.

I AM the Savior of the World

Isaiah 49:26; 1 John 4:14

(all, seated)

Jesus, keep me near the cross, there a precious fountainFree to all, a healing stream, flows from Calvary’s mountain.

In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever;Till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

In the Cross (choir)

There on the hill where true love died, the Prince of Heaven crucified.How red the ground, how black the day, as God the Father turned away.

My crown of thorns was His to wear, my guilt and shame were His to bear.My sin upon His shoulders laid, and by His blood my debt was paid.

In the cross, in the cross be my glory, be my hope. What a Savior, what a cost, I will glory in the cross.

And though its branches held my King, though stained with shame and suffering.How beautiful that frame to me, for there the Lamb would set me free.

In the cross, in the cross be my glory, be my hope. What a Savior, what a cost, I will glory in the cross.

I will not boast of trophies won, or any good that I have done. But I will boast in Calvary’s tree, and of the Christ who died for me.

In the cross, in the cross, be my glory, be my hope.What a Savior, what a cost, I will glory in the cross.

(all, seated)

In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever,Till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

I AM the Resurrection and the LifeJohn 11:25-26

Come to the Mountain (choir)

If you hunger, if you thirst, if you’re weary, if you are lonely or hurt,Someone’s calling you today: He says come away, come away.

Come to the mountain, stand in His presence, Drink in His glory, the Father is calling us.

Come with questions in your heart, come unworthy, you can come as you are,Like a beggar, like a child; come and stay awhile, stay awhile.

Come to the mountain, stand in His presence, Drink in His glory, the Father is calling us.

Come and rest your soul, come and be made whole, be made whole.Come to the mountain, stand in His presence,

Drink in His glory, the Father is calling us.

Come to the mountain, join in His chorus; Worship the Father, He is mighty and glorious!

Come drink from the fountain. Come to the mountain. Come drink from the fountain; come to the mountain;

Be made whole.

I AM the God of All Comfort2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

(all, seated)

Under the shadow of Thy throne still may we dwell secure;Sufficient is Thine arm alone, and our defense is sure.

My Song in the Night(choir)

O Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night,Come to us with Thy tender love, my soul’s delight,

Unto Thee O Lord in affliction I call, My comfort by day and my song in the night.

O why should I wander an alien from Thee, Or cry in the desert Thy face to see?

My comfort and joy, my soul’s delightO Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night.

I AM the Giver of All Grace1 Peter 5:10

Come Thou Fount

(all, seated)

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace;Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.

Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above;Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love!

(choir)

Here I raise mine Ebenezer*, hither by Thy help I’ve come;And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger, wand’ring from the fold of God;He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood!

*"stone of help" (1 Samuel 7:12)

(all, standing)

O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be!Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love,Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above!

(choir)

Seal it for Thy courts above!(please be seated)

I AM the Eternal One Deuteronomy 33:27

A Psalm for the Ages

(choir)

Our hope for years to come, and our eternal home!


Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure;Sufficient is Thine arm alone, and our defense is sure.

Our defense is sure.

A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone;Short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun.


O God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,Our hope for years to come, and our eternal home.

And our eternal home.

*"stone of help" (1 Samuel 7:12)

(all, standing)



O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,Be Thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home!

(please be seated)
