"Change My Heart, O God" Eddie Espinoza

October 11, 2020

Another in the Fire There's a grace when the heart is under fire Another way when the walls are closing in And when I look at the space between Where I used to be and this reckoning I know I will never be alone

There was another in the fire Standing next to me There was another in the waters Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding Of how I've been set free There is a cross that bears the burden Where another died for me There is another in the fire

All my debt left for dead beneath the waters I'm no longer a slave to my sin anymore And should I fall in the space between What remains of me and this reckoning Either way I won't bow to the things of this world And I know I will never be alone

There is another in the fire Standing next to me There is another in the waters Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding What power set me free There is a grave that holds no body And now that power lives in me There is another in the fire

There is another in the fire There is another in the fire There is another in the fire

And I can see the light in the darkness As the darkness bows to Him I can hear the roar in the heavens As the space between wears thin

I can feel the ground shake beneath us As the prison walls cave in Nothing stands between us Nothing stands between us

There is no other name but the name that is Jesus He who was and still is, and will be through it all So come what may in the space between All the things unseen and this reckoning And I know I will never be alone And I know I will never be alone

There'll be another in the fire Standing next to me There'll be another in the waters Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding How good You've been to me I'll count the joy come every battle 'Cause I know that's where You'll be

Count the joy come every battle 'Cause I know that's where You'll be I'll count the joy come every battle 'Cause I know that's where You'll be

Valley You never said it would be easy You never said there'd be no pain But You promised You'd go with me And Your promises You always keep

Lord, I confess how much I need You I confess that I am weak I can't promise I won't fail You But Your promises will not fail me

When I'm in the valley, I will fear no evil When enemies surround me, You prepare a table Surely goodness and mercy will follow me Surely goodness and mercy will follow me

There is beauty in the struggle You don't waste a single day Your presence is my shelter Your presence is my victory

When I'm in the valley, I will fear no evil When enemies surround me, You prepare a table Surely goodness and mercy will follow me Surely goodness and mercy will follow me

When I'm in the valley, I will fear no evil When enemies surround me, You prepare a table Surely me goodness and mercy will follow me Surely goodness and mercy will follow me

And I can't see it all But I have seen enough to know Oh, You are faithful

I can't see it all But I have seen enough to know Oh, You are faithful

And I can't see it all But I have seen enough to know Oh, You are faithful

When I'm in the valley, I will fear no evil When enemies surround me, You prepare a table Surely goodness and mercy will follow me Surely goodness and mercy will follow me

Confession and Forgiveness

Let There Be Light There's no darkness in Your eyes There's no question in Your mind God Almighty God of mercy There's no hiding from Your face There's no striving in Your grace God of mercy God Almighty

Let there be light Open the eyes of the blind Purify our hearts in Your fire Breathe in us we pray Jesus have Your way

There's no borders in Your love No division in Your heart God of Heaven God of freedom There's no taking back the cross No regret in what it cost God of freedom God of Heaven

Let there be light Open the eyes of the blind Purify our hearts in Your fire Breathe in us we pray

Let there be light Open our eyes to Your heart Desperate just to know who You are Shine in us we pray Jesus have Your way

Good news embracing the poor Comfort for all those who mourn For the broken hearted We sing louder

Release from prison and shame Oppression turning to praise For every captive Sing louder

Restoring sight to the blind Breaking the curse of the night For all in darkness Sing louder

Proclaiming freedom for all This is the day of the Lord Beauty for ashes

Let there be light Open the eyes of the blind Purify our hearts in Your fire Breathe in us we pray Jesus have Your way

Let there be light Open our eyes to Your heart Desperate just to know who You are Shine in us we pray Jesus have Your way

Let the light that shines above Become the light that shines in us There's no darkness in Your way So have Your way Lord have Your way

Old Testament Psalm 91 (excerpts) He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the Lord, who is my refuge--then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

Epistle Romans 13:1-5 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.

The Gospel John 10:11-15 [Jesus said:] "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep." "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-- just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep."

The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
