Rejoice

Verse 1 Come and stand before your Maker Full of wonder, full of fear Come behold His power and glory Yet with confidence draw near For the One who holds the heavens And commands the stars above Is the God who bends to bless us With an unrelenting love

Rejoice, come and lift your hands and raise your voice He is worthy of all praise, rejoice Sing the mercies of your King and with trembling, rejoice!

Verse 2 We are children of the promise, the beloved of the Lord Won with everlasting kindness, bought with sacrificial blood Bringing reconciliation to a world that longs to know The affections of a Father who will never let them go

Verse 3 All our sickness all our sorrows Jesus carried up the hill He has walked this path before us, He is walking with us still Turning tragedy to triumph, turning agony to praise There is blessing in the battle so take heart and stand amazed

Rejoice, when you cry to Him, He hears your voice He will wipe away your tears, rejoice In the midst of suffering He will help you sing Rejoice, come and lift your hands and raise your voice He is worthy of all praise, rejoice Sing the mercies of your King and with trembling, rejoice!

Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)

Verse 1 One day when heaven was filled with His praises One day when sin was as black as could be Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin Dwelt among men my example is He The Word became flesh and the light shined among us His glory revealed

Living He loved me dying He saved me Buried He carried my sins far away Rising He justified freely forever One day He's coming, O glorious day

Verse 2 One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain One day they nailed Him to die on a tree Suffering anguish despised and rejected Bearing our sins my Redeemer is He The hand that healed nations stretched out on a tree And took the nails for me

Verse 3 One day the grave could conceal Him no longer One day the stone rolled away from the door Then He arose over death He had conquered Now is ascended my Lord evermore Death could not hold Him The grave could not keep Him from rising again

Bridge One day the trumpet will sound for His coming One day the skies with His glories will shine Wonderful day my beloved one bringing My Savior Jesus is mine

Living He loved me dying He saved me Buried He carried my sins far away Rising He justified freely forever One day He's coming, O glorious day Glorious day, O glorious day

God Of Revival

Verse 1 We’ve seen what You can do, oh God of wonders Your power has no end The things You’ve done before in greater measure You will do again

'Cause there’s no prison wall You can’t break through No mountain You can’t move, All things are possible There’s no broken body You can’t raise No soul that You can’t save All things are possible

Chorus The darkest night, You can light it up You can light it up, Oh God of revival Let hope arise, Death is overcome You’ve already won, Oh God of revival

Verse 2 You rose in victory and now You’re seated Forever on the throne So why should my heart fear what You defeated I will trust in You alone

Bridge Come awaken Your people come awaken this city Oh God of revival pour it out pour it out Every stronghold will crumble I hear the chains hit the ground Oh God of revival pour it out pour it out

It Is Well With My Soul

Verse 1 When peace like a river attendeth my way When sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say It is well, it is well with my soul

Verse 2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come Let this blest assurance control That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate And hath shed His own blood for my soul

It is well…with my soul…It is well, it is well with my soul

Verse 3 My sin, O the bliss of this glorious thought My sin, not in part but the whole Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

Verse 4 And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight The clouds be rolled back as a scroll The trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend Even so it is well with my soul

It is well…with my soul…It is well, it is well with my soul

Human Sin from Head to Toe

What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. (Romans 3:9)

Summary Statement As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” (Romans 3:10-12)

Heart The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.” (Jeremiah 17:9-10)

Mind For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. (Romans 1:21)

Mouth “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The poison of vipers is on their lips.” “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.” (Romans 3:13-14)

Feet “Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know.” (Romans 3:15-17)

World, Flesh, and the Devil As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the w ays of this world and of the r uler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our s inful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. (Ephesians 2:1-3)

Will We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do – this I keep on doing. (Romans 7:14-19)

Conscience To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. (Titus 1:15)

Eyes “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” (Romans 3:18)

Concluding Comment Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. (Romans 3:19-20)
