Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I'm found Was blind but now I see

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed

Chorus My chains are gone I've been set free My God my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy rains Unending love amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures (Chorus)

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow The sun forbear to shine But God who called me here below Will be forever mine Will be forever mine You are forever mine

Is He Worthy?

The congregation is invited to join in singing.

Do you feel the world is broken? We do. Do you feel the shadows deepen? We do.

But do you know that all the dark won't stop the light from getting through? We do. Do you wish that you could see it all made new? We do.

Is all creation groaning? It is. Is a new creation coming? It is.

Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? It is. Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? It is.

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll? The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave,

He is David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave. Is he worthy? Is he worthy of all blessing and honor and glory?

Is he worthy of this? He is.

Does the Father truly love us? He does. Does the Spirit move among us? He does.

And does Jesus, our Messiah hold forever those He loves? He does. Does our God intend to dwell again with us? He does.

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll? The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave,

He is David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave. From every people and tribe, every nation and tongue,

he has made us a kingdom and priests to God to reign with the Son. Is he worthy? Is he worthy of all blessing and honor and glory?

Is he worthy? Is he worthy? Is he worthy of this? He is!

Is he worthy? Is he worthy? He is! He is!

Blessed Assurance

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. O what a foretaste of glory divine. Heir of salvation, purchase of God. Born of His Spirit washed, in His blood.

Living Hope

The congregation is invited to join in singing. How great the chasm that lay between us How high the mountain I could not climb In desperation I turned to heaven And spoke Your name into the night Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness Tore through the shadows of my soul The work is finished the end is written Jesus Christ my living hope

Who could imagine so great a mercy What heart could fathom such boundless grace The God of ages stepped down from glory To wear my sin and bear my shame The cross has spoken I am forgiven The King of kings calls me His own Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever Jesus Christ my living hope

Chorus Hallelujah praise the One who set me free Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me You have broken every chain There’s salvation in Your name Jesus Christ my living hope

Then came the morning that sealed the promise Your buried body began to breathe Out of the silence the Roaring Lion Declared the grave has no claim on me (Repeat)

Jesus Yours is the victory

Jesus Christ my living hope Oh God You are my living hope

Sending Forth Blessed Assurance Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. O 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.

Perfect submission, perfect delight. Visions of rapture now burst on my sight. Angels descending bring from above, Echoes of mercy whispers of love.

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.
