GATHERING SONG:

Here I Am to Worship

Light of the world,

You stepped down into darkness.

Opened my eyes let me see.

Beauty that made this heart adore you

Hope of a life spent with you.

Here I am to worship,

Here I am to bow down,

Here I am to say that you're my God,

You're altogether lovely,

Altogether worthy,

Altogether wonderful to me.

King of all days,

Oh so highly exalted,

Glorious in heaven above,

Humbly you came to the earth you created.

All for love's sake became poor.

Here I am to worship,

Here I am to bow down,

Here I am to say that you're my God,

You're altogether lovely,

Altogether worthy,

Altogether wonderful to me. [2x]

I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross. (4x)

Here I am to worship,

Here I am to bow down,

Here I am to say that you're my God,

You're altogether lovely,

Altogether worthy,

Altogether wonderful to me. [2x]

Here I am to worship,

Here I am to bow down,

Here I am to say

that you're my God.

SONG OF THE DAY:

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

My chains are gone, I've been set free

My God, my Saviour 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

My chains are gone, I've been set free

My God, my Saviour has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing grace

[2x]

When we've been there

ten thousand years,

Bright Shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we've first begun

Than when we've first begun

Than when we've first begun

Blessed Assurance

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

This is my story, this is my song,

praising my Saviour, all the day long:

this is my story, this is my song,

praising my Saviour 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.

This is my story, this is my song,

praising my Saviour, all the day long:

this is my story, this is my song,

praising my Saviour all the day long.

Perfect submission, all is at rest;

I in my Saviour am happy and blest,

watching and waiting, looking above,

filled with his goodness, lost in his love.

This is my story, this is my song,

praising my Saviour, all the day long:

this is my story, this is my song,

praising my Saviour all the day long.

He lives triumphant from the grave;

he lives eternally to save;

he lives exalted, throned above;

he lives to rule his church in love.

He lives to grant me rich supply;

he lives to guide me with his eye;

he lives to comfort me when faint;

he lives to hear my soul's complaint.

He lives to silence all my fears;

he lives to wipe away my tears;

he lives to calm my troubled heart;

he lives all blessings to impart.

He lives, all glory to his name!

Neither Death nor Life

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Dwell in the one who raised Christ from the dead;

though your body shall die, in Christ you shall rise

through the Spirit who brings you to life.

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

All who are led by the Spirit shall live

as children of God, and heirs with Christ Jesus,

God's adopted and chosen and loved.

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

All of the suff'ring we now must endure

is nothing to the glory so soon to be revealed

when creation itself is set free.

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

All of creation awaits the new birth,

the fullness of redemption, through labour pains of love,

and so we wait in patience and hope.

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Who can separate us from the love of Christ?

Will hardship or distress, persecution or famine,

or nakedness or peril or sword?

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus' blood and righteousness;

no merit of my own I claim,

but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils his lovely face,

I rest on his unchanging grace;

in ev'ry high and stormy gale

my anchor holds within the veil

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, his covenant, his blood

sustain me in the raging flood;

when all supports are washed away,

he then is all my hope and stay.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

When he shall come with trumpet sound,

oh, may I then in him be found,

clothed in his righteousness alone,

redeemed to stand before the throne!

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

and wins salvation glorious.

The old satanic foe

has sworn to work us woe!

With craft and dreadful might

he arms himself to fight.

On earth he has no equal.

No strength of ours can match his might!

We would be lost, rejected.

But now a champion comes to fight,

whom God himself elected.

You ask who this may be?

The Lord of hosts is he!

Christ Jesus, mighty Lord,

God's only Son, adored.

He holds the field victorious.

Though hordes of devils fill the land

all threat'ning to devour us,

we tremble not, unmoved we stand;

they cannot overpow'r us.

Let this world's tyrant rage;

in battle we'll engage!

His might is doomed to fail;

God's judgment must prevail!

One little word subdues him.

God's Word forever shall abide,

no thanks to foes, who fear it;

for God himself fights by our side

with weapons of the Spirit.

Were they to take our house,

goods, honour, child, or spouse,

though life be wrenched away,

they cannot win the day.

The kingdom's ours forever!
