Stronger

Stronger
Words & Music: Ben Fielding & Reuben Morgan. ©2007 Hillsong Music Publishing. CCLI Song #5060810

There is love that came for us,
Humbled to a sinner’s cross,
You broke my shame and sinfulness,
You rose again, victorious

Faithfulness none can deny,
Through the storm and through the fire,
There is truth that sets me free,
Jesus Christ, who lives in me

CHORUS:
You are stronger, You are stronger,
Sin is broken, You have saved me,
It is written, Christ is risen,
Jesus, you are Lord of all

No beginning, and no end
You’re my hope and my defense
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross

BRIDGE:
So let your name be lifted higher,
Be lifted higher, be lifted higher

Scripture:
Rom 6:5; Luke 4:18-19

What I Have Vowed

What I Have Vowed
Words & Music by Matt Redman. © 1998 Thankyou Music (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing). CCLI Song #2454797

Lord I am not my own
No longer my own
Living now for You
And ev’rything I think
All I say and do
Is for You my Lord

Now taking up the cross
Walking on Your paths
Holding out Your truth
Running in this race
Bowing ev’ry day
All for You my Lord

Chorus:
And what I have vowed
I will make good
Ev’ry promise made
Will be fulfilled
Till the day I die
Ev’ry day I live is for You
Is for You is for You
Is for You is for You is for You

Earth has nothing I desire
That lives outside of You
I’m consumed with You
Treasures have no hold
Nothing else will do
Only You my Lord

1 Cor 6:19-20, Mk 12:29-31, Lk 9:23, Psalm 22:25, Psalm 116:14, Psalm 73:25

Take My Life

Take My Life
Words: Frances R. Havergal, 1874, Music: Henri Abraham Cesar Malan. Chorus by Chris Tomlin & Louie Giglio. ©2003 worshiptogether.com songs CCLI Song #4162843

Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise;
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee

Take my voice and let me sing
Always only for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee;
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect and use
Ev’ry power as You choose

Chorus:
Here am I, all of me
Take my life, it’s all for Thee

Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne;
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Your feet its treasure store;
Take myself and I will be
Ever only all for Thee

Christ Is Risen

Christ Is Risen
Words & Music: Matt Maher , Mia Fieldes ©2009 Thankyou Music. CCLI #5242683

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame,
But fix our eyes upon the cross,
And run to Him Who showed great love
And bled for us,
Freely You’ve bled for us.

CHORUS:
Christ is risen from the dead,
Trampling over death by death,
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave.
Christ is risen from the dead,
We are one with Him! Again:
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave.

Beneath the weight of all our sin,
You bowed to none but heaven’s will;
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown,
No burden great can hold You down;
In strength You reign,
Forever let Your church proclaim
(Chorus)

BRIDGE:
O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light,
The glory of God has defeated the night.
O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light,
Our God is not dead, He’s alive! He’s alive!
(Chorus)

Let Us Love & Sing & Wonder

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder
©2001 Laura Taylor Music. Words: John Newton, 1774. Music: Laura Taylor.

Let us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Savior’s name;
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder,
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame.

Let us love the Lord Who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies,
Called us by His grace and taught us,
Gave us ears and gave us eyes.

CHORUS:
He has washed us with His blood,
He has washed us with His blood,
He has washed us with His blood,
He presents our souls to God.

Let us wonder: grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store,
When through grace in Christ our trust is,
Justice smiles and asks no more.
(Chorus)

Let us praise and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high,
Here they trusted Him before us,
Now their praises fill the sky.
(Chorus)

Heaven Is Yours
Words & Music by Cameron Gray, 2011. © 2011 Rough Harbor Music.

Heaven is yours, to the highest heaven
The Earth is yours, and all therein
Oh what is man, that you would regard him
Yet you set your love upon the least of us

King of all kings, your Name above all names
In every age your righteousness reigns
Father of glory, forever holy
Yet you set your love upon the least of us

CHORUS:
You are my God, you are my praise
You have done wonders I have seen with my own eyes
You are my God, your Name above all names (Your majesty reigns)
And you set your love upon the least of us
And you set your love upon the least of us
Thank you Lord

Light of the world, desire of nations
Mighty in mercy, mighty to save
Gracious Redeemer, Beautiful Savior
And you set your love upon the least of us
(Repeat CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
King of Creation
Rock and Foundation
True Consolation
Mighty Salvation
(Repeat CHORUS)

Scripture:
Deut 10:14-21: To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. Yet the LORD set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today…. He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.

My Soul Magnifies the Lord
Words & Music by Chris Tomlin & Daniel Carson. ©2009 worshiptogether.com CCLI Song #5601671

Good news of great joy, for every woman every man
This will be a sign to you: a baby born in Bethlehem
Come and worship, do not be afraid

A company of angels, glory in the highest
And on the earth a peace among those on whom his favor rests
Come and worship, do not be afraid

CHORUS
My soul, my soul magnifies the Lord
My soul magnifies the Lord
He has done great things for me, great things for me

Unto you a child is born, unto us a Son is giv’n
Let ev’ry heart prepare His throne, let ev’ry nation under Heav’n
Come and worship, do not be afraid

BRIDGE
Of His government there will be no end
He’ll establish it with His righteousness
And He shall reign on David’s throne
And His name shall be from this day on
Wonderful Counselor,
Everlasting Father,
Wonderful Counselor,
Everlasting Father

Nothing But the Blood of Jesus

Nothing But the Blood of Jesus
Words & Music by Robert Lowry, 1876. Public Domain

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Chorus:
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(Repeat Chorus)

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(Repeat Chorus)

Now by this I’ll overcome,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Now by this I’ll reach my home,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(Repeat Chorus)

Laden with Guilt & Full of Fears

Laden with Guilt and Full of Fears
©2001 Same Old Dress Music (ASCAP). Words: Isaac Watts, 1709. Music: Sandra McCracken. CCLI Song #3421712

Laden with guilt and full of fears,
I fly to Thee, my Lord,
And not a glimpse of hope appears,
But in Thy written Word
The volume of my Father’s grace
Does all my griefs assuage
Here I behold my Savior’s face
In every page.

This is the field where, hidden, lies
The pearl of price unknown
That merchant is divinely wise
Who makes the pearl his own
Here consecrated water flows
To quench my thirst of sin
Here the fair tree of knowledge grows,
No danger dwells within.

This is the judge that ends the strife,
Where wit and reason fail
My guide to everlasting life
Through all this gloomy vale
Oh may Thy counsels, mighty God,
My roving feet command,
Nor I forsake the happy road
That leads to Thy right hand.

Come Holy Spirit Come

Come Holy Spirit Come
©2011 Pageant Music. Words: Joseph Hart, 1759. Music: Hiram Ring, 2011. Chorus by Cameron Gray, 2011

Come Holy Spirit come;
Let thy bright beams arise
Dispel the darkness from our minds
and open all our eyes

Convince us of our sin;
Then lead to Jesus’ blood,
And to our wond’ring view reveal
The secret love of God

CHORUS:
Come Holy Spirit come
Come Holy Spirit come
Reveal to us the Father’s love
And glorify the Son

‘Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new-create the whole
(Chorus)

Dwell therefore in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free,
Then we shall know and praise and love
The Father, Son, and Thee
Then we shall know and praise and love
The Father, Son, and Thee
(Chorus)
