I know I still make mistakes but you have new mercies for me every day. Your love never fails. Chorus: You stay the same through the ages. Your love never changes. There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning. And when the oceans rage I don t have to be afraid because I know that you love me. Your love never fails. The wind is strong and the water s deep, but I m not alone here in these open seas, cause your love never fails. The chasm is far too wide, I never thought I d reach the other side. Your love never fails. Bridge: You make all things work together for my good.

On this holy ground we re all the same and we are the joy of God on display whenever we meet in Jesus name, whenever we meet in Jesus name. Walls are falling, hearts disarming as His presence ushers in. Waves of mercy fill the building as His spirit stirs within. Bridge: From the suburbs and the streets we have gathered to receive, some with plenty, some with need, cause we are a family, His family.
