Gracious Spirit, won't you visit us? Rend the heavens and come down May your presence here be undenied Turn this meeting upside down HOLY SPIRIT, WON'T YOU COME AND SHAKE THIS PLACE BREATH OF HEAVEN, FILL US WITH YOUR LOVE AND GRACE REVIVE, RENEW, WE'RE MORE THAN OVERDUE SHAKE THIS PLACE! SHAKE THIS PLACE! Though we stand in awe of all you've done Work your wonders once again Send a shower on our thirsty souls End this dryness, let it rain Jolt us out of our complacency Forge a passion and a zeal Pour the love of God into our hearts Every truth of Christ reveal

PRAISE THE LIVING GOD PRAISE THE LIVING GOD 1. Praise the Lord from the heavens now exalt him in the heights PRAISE THE LIVING GOD Cherubim join with angels laud and bless him day and night PRAISE THE LIVING GOD Stars above in celestial parade Endless space in such glory arrayed Now extol your creator for the wonders he has made PRAISE THE LIVING GOD PRAISE THE LIVING GOD 2. From the depths of the oceans every creature of the sea PRAISE THE LIVING GOD Lightening hail snow and thunder help proclaim his majesty PRAISE THE LIVING GOD Give him glory you beasts of the field Birds and cattle your praise to him yield Everywhere all around you there his nature is revealed PRAISE THE LIVING GOD PRAISE THE LIVING GOD 3. Kings and rulers of nations bow before the Lord of all PRAISE THE LIVING GOD He is worthy of honor God of gods to whom we call PRAISE THE LIVING GOD Rich and poor blend the old with the young Peoples praise him in every tongue May his name be exalted let his praises now be sung PRAISE THE LIVING GOD PRAISE THE LIVING GOD

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. to him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever. FOREVER AND EVER HIS LOVE ENDURES HIS MERCY IS ENDLESS, HIS LOVE ENDURES NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS OR WHAT OCCURS FOREVER AND EVER HIS LOVE ENDURES With a mighty hand he brought Israel out of Egypt His love endures forever. He divided the Red Sea in two His love endures forever. and then led Israel through the midst of it, His love endures forever. But Pharaoh and his army he swept into the Sea; His love endures forever. To the One who remembers us in our low estate His love endures forever. and frees us from our enemies, His love endures forever. Who gives food to every creature. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.

You O God are a compassionate God a gracious God Slow to anger and abounding in faithful love You've redeemed from the Fall offering pardon to all mercy flows when we call on your name You are holy and yet you forgive and forget paying all of the debt that we owe You O God are a compassionate God a gracious God Slow to anger and abounding in faithful love Through the death of Your Son our salvation was won what a work You've begun in our lives Every day You provide with your Spirit to guide Now by faith we abide in Your love You O God are a compassionate God a gracious God Slow to anger and abounding in faithful love There's a plan set in place the unfodling of grace all who will on Your mercy may call In the pow'r of Your name we will boldly proclaim He is Lord and the Savior of all

Regard as holy the Lord Almighty He is the One we ought to fear His sanctuary is here among us The God of heaven now revere HOLY, HOLY HOLY IS THE LORD ALMIGHTY HOLY, HOLY HIS GLORY FILLS THE EARTH His awesome essence is wholly other His frame evades the naked eye And though His presence pervades our nature Still He transcends both earth and sky To God the Father all thanks be given To God the Son, let praises ring To God the Spirit, who dwells within us We join that host above to sing

A mighty fortress is our God A bulwark never failing Our helper he, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe His craft and power are great And armed with cruel hate On earth is not his equal Did we in our own strength confide Our striving would be losing Were not the right Man on our side The man of God's own choosing Dost ask who that may be Christ Jesus it is he Lord Sabaoth his name From age to age the same And he must win the battle And though this world with devils filled Should threaten to undo us We will not fear for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us The Prince of Darkness grim We tremble not for him His rage we can endure For lo, his doom is sure One little word shall fell him That word above all earthly powers No thanks to them, abideth The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through him who with us sideth Let goods and kindred go This mortal life also The body they may kill God's truth abideth still His kingdom is forever

Rest assured today that the Lord your God is the One who goes ahead of you He will put the enemy to flight; what He’s promised He will do Like a raging fire, He consumes the foe; making Satan and his forces go We don’t have to fear, God is on the throne, His power will prevail God’s deliverance is as good as done; who could ever count the victories won? With a watchful eye He protects His own; He’s the Shepherd, we’re His sheep When we go to Him with an urgent need He is always there to intercede We don’t have to fear, God is on the throne, His power will prevail Each temptation here, every trial we face is surrounded by His awesome grace Supernaturally strength is given us so that we might persevere God is never late, help is on the way; He is faithful in the day-to-day We don’t have to fear, God is on the throne, His power will prevail

Say to this mountain "Be removed Be cast into the heart of the sea!" And it will be Say to this obstacle "Be gone!" Hold on to every promise He's made don't be afraid For He will provide though our faith it be tried His resources are vast so let's hold to Him fast God of our future He'll be faithfully Say to this mountain "Be removed Be cast into the heart of the sea!" And it will be Say to this obstacle "Be gone!" Hold on to every promise He's made don't be afraid Unclear to us now God will triumph somehow rest assured He'll come through as He's promised to do God of our future He'll be faithfully

Earth has nothing I desire besides you And whom have I in heaven but you? My heart and my flesh may fail But still in the end I will prevail You're the strength of my heart And my portion forevermore Sovereign Lord, you are my place of refuge My shield, my hope, my comfort, my joy My heart and my flesh may fail But still in the end I will prevail You're the strength of my heart And my portion forevermore Help me stand my ground, no compromising With firm conviction walking by faith My heart and my flesh may fail But still in the end I will prevail You're the strength of my heart And my portion forevermore

We know that in all things God works for the good of Those whom He has called His own Since we're His children, Precious blood-bought children Who can come against us Since He's on our side? God gave His Son to die for us Then dressed us in His righteousness Now Jesus intercedes for us Before a gracious God I am convinced that neither death nor life Not persecution, nor the worst of strife Can separate us from the love of God in Christ I'm His, He's mine! On this I take my stand No pow'r can snatch me from the Father's hand And there awaits for me a home of endless bliss I AM CONVINCED OF THIS! Who can come against us With God to defend us? Our hope is in God alone We have this promise Of a bright tomorrow So in joy or sorrow We will not lost heart Assured that nothing's left to chance We know in every circumstance We have a sure inheritance Of life forevermore

If the language that we speak could make the angels weep and melt the hardest heart Though we pray a mountain to its knees, and fathom mysteries, its worthless without love Though we give of what we own with deeds of kindness shown, attending to the poor Laying down our lives could be in vain, and nothing would be gained, if love was not the core EVERYTHING WE NOW HOLD DEAR WILL PASS AWAY IMPERFECTIONS DISAPPEAR WHEN THAT PERFECT COMES TO STAY FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE THESE THREE ENDURE ONE THING WE CAN BE SURE OF LOVE NEVER FAILS THIS MUCH WE CAN BE SURE OF LOVE NEVER FAILS Love is patient, love is kind Not envious, it finds Its joy in serving all Never boasting, proud our self-absorbed It's gracious like the Lord, Responding to his call Love, with unity its goal Keeps anger in control In struggles, love prevails Through the night, love perseveres till dawn Turns sorrow into song In truth it never fails BRIDGE FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE, THESE THREE THE GREATEST OF THESE IS NO MYSTERY IT'S LOVE, GOD'S LOVE
15.
Let all God's angels worship Him Rank on rank of cherubim Ten thousand times ten thousand sing HALLELUJAH! Let earth in chorus join the throng To shout that great triumphant song "The Lamb is worthy!" Sing it strong! HALLELUJAH! Glory to the Righteous One Jesus Christ the Risen Son HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! Soon He'll return to rule and reign When this earth He'll then reclaim And we will shout this glad refrain HALLELUJAH! The blood-bought saints, then standing tall Will at the feet of Jesus fall And God will be our All-In-All HALLELUJAH!
