WELCOME

CALL TO WORSHIP

*SONGS OF WORSHIP & PRAISE Living Hope Brian Johnson | How great the chasm that lay between us How high the mountain I could not climb In desperation I turned to heaven And spoke Your name into the night Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness Tore through the shadows of my soul The work is finished the end is written Jesus Christ my living hope

Who could imagine so great a mercy? What heart could fathom such boundless grace? The God of ages stepped down from glory To wear my sin and bear my shame The cross has spoken I am forgiven The King of kings calls me His own Beautiful Savior, I’m Yours forever Jesus Christ my living hope

Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free! Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me! You have broken every chain There’s salvation in Your name Jesus Christ my living hope

Then came the morning that sealed the promise Your buried body began to breathe Out of the silence the Roaring Lion Declared the grave has no claim on me (REPEAT) Jesus Yours is the victory whoa

Jesus Christ my living hope Oh God, You are my living hope Christ Is Enough Jonas Myrin | Christ is my reward and all of my devotion Now there’s nothing in this world That could ever satisfy Through every trial my soul will sing No turning back I’ve been set free

Christ is enough for me Christ is enough for me Everything I need is in You Everything I need

Christ my all in all the joy of my salvation And this hope will never fail Heaven is our home Through every storm my soul will sing Jesus is here to God be the glory

I have decided to follow Jesus No turning back no turning back

The cross before me the world behind me No turning back no turning back

SONG OF RESPONSE *He Will Hold Me Fast Ada Ruth Habershon | Matthew Merker When I fear my faith will fail Christ will hold me fast When the tempter would prevail He will hold me fast I could never keep my hold Through life’s fearful path For my love is often cold He must hold me fast
