Kelley Cameron Wright & Celebration Singers OPENING PRAYER Rustin Comer + SONGS OF PRAISE Blessed Be Your Name Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful, Where Your streams of abundance flow, blessed be Your name. Blessed be Your name, when I’m found in the desert place, Though I walk through the wilderness, blessed be Your name. (Chorus) Ev’ry blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in Lord, still I will say, Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be Your name Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be Your glorious name. Blessed be Your name, when the sun’s shining down on me When the world’s all as it should be, blessed be Your name.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away. (Chorus) I’ll fly away O glory, I’ll fly away. When I die hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away. When the shadows of this life have grown, I’ll fly away. Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I’ll fly away. (Chorus) Just a few more weary days and then, I’ll fly away. To a land where joys shall never end, I’ll fly away. (Chorus Twice) Albert E. Brumley © 1932 Hartford Music Company. Renewed 1960 Albert E. Brumley And Sons (Admin. by ClearBox Rights, LLC)

MUSIC NOTES (Autumn Toussaint) We welcome our friend Cameron Wright this morning. Cameron is no stranger to WCC, having led at 9:00 a.m. worship, WoW, and Parables. He is the son of another WCC frequent music leader, Tonia Hughes. Cameron now lives in Los Angeles, and has shared the stage with legends such as Chaka Khan, India Arie, Natalie Cole & Stevie Wonder. Our special offertory today is a brand new CeCe Winans song arranaged specifically for this morning by WCC member Michael Pretasky (also at piano for this song). Marvelous, indeed!
