4 Holy Spirit by Bryan & Katie Torwalt There's nothing worth more That will ever come close No thing can compare You're our living hope Your Presence I've tasted and seen Of the sweetest of loves Where my heart becomes free And my shame is undone In Your Presence Lord Holy Spirit You are welcome here Come flood this place And fill the atmosphere Your glory God is what our hearts long for To be overcome by Your Presence Lord Repeat All CCLI # Blood of Jesus Be My All by Cottrell, Moffitt What can wash away my sin? What can cover every stain, Flood the darkness, deep within Like healing rain? What can make the broken whole? What can set the captive free? What can satisfy my soul, My deepest need? Blood of Jesus, be my all, All my hope and righteousness, In Your mercy let me fall On Your grace and nothing less Hear this sinner call. Blood of Jesus, be my all. Oh, the riches that were spilled To restore me to my King, No more fear and no more guilt, I am redeemed. When I m finished with this life and I stand before the throne, I will claim the blood of Christ and Christ alone. & Smith
