SUNDAY, MAY 21, 2017 1 NO OTHER GODS The God of the heavens, the Ancient of Days; The God of our fathers and God of my praise, The Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End; Forever and ever Your Kingdom will stand. We come to bow before You now. We come to lay our lives down. Nothing on earth will compete for Your throne. You are the sov reign I Am, and You reign in our hearts alone. We will exalt You on high forever: King of kings and the Lord of all lords. Our Maker, Creator before time began, Messiah and Savior, Redeemer and Friend; Our Rock of salvation, so faithful and true; We give all the glory and honor to You. For You alone are worthy of our never-ending love. Nothing on earth will compete for Your throne. You are the sov reign I Am, and You reign in our hearts alone. We will exalt You on high forever: King of kings and the Lord of all lords. Nothing on earth will compete for Your throne. You are the sov reign I Am, and You reign in our hearts alone. We will exalt You on high forever: King of kings and the Lord of all lords.
VICTORY IN JESUS 2 I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory; How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me: I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood s atoning, then I repented of my sins and won the victory. O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever, He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him; He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood. I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory, And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea; About the angels singing, and the old redemption story, and some sweet day I ll sing up there the song of victory. O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever, He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him; He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL 3 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. Though Satan should buffet, tho trials should come, let this blest assurance control, that Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed His own blood for my soul. It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul), It is well, it is well, with my soul. 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. And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend: Even so it is well with my soul. It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul), It is well, it is well, with my soul.
ALL I HAVE IS CHRIST 4 Hallelujah! All I have is Christ; Hallelujah! Jesus is my life. I once was lost in darkest night, yet thought I knew the way. The sin that promised joy and life had led me to the grave. I had no hope that You would own a rebel to Your will, and if You had not loved me first, I would refuse You still. But as I ran my hell-bound race, indifferent to the cost, You looked upon my helpless state and led me to the cross. And I beheld God s love displayed; You suffered in my place. You bore the wrath reserved for me, now all I know is grace. Hallelujah! All I have is Christ; Hallelujah! Jesus is my life. Now Lord I would be Yours alone, and live so all might see the strength to follow Your commands could never come from me. Oh Father use my ransomed life in any way You choose; Oh Father use my ransomed life in any way You choose, And let my song forever be, "My only boast is You." Hallelujah! All I have is Christ; Hallelujah! Jesus is my life. Hallelujah! All I have is Christ; Hallelujah! Jesus is my life.
SEE THE DESTINED DAY ARISE 5 See the destined day arise! See a willing sacrifice! Jesus, to redeem our loss, hangs upon the shameful cross; Jesus, who but You could bear wrath so great and justice fair? Every pang and bitter throe, finishing your life of woe? Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lamb of God for sinners slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, we praise your name! Who but Christ had dared to drain, steeped in gall, the cup of pain; And with tender body bear thorns, and nails, and piercing spear? Slain for us, the water flowed, mingled from your side with blood; Sign to all attesting eyes of the finished sacrifice. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lamb of God for sinners slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, we praise your name! Holy Jesus, grant us grace in that sacrifice to place all our trust for life renewed, pardoned sin, and promised good. Grant us grace to sing your praise, round your throne through endless days; Ever with the sons of light: Blessing, honor, glory, might! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lamb of God for sinners slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, we praise your name! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lamb of God for sinners slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, we praise your name!
CHOIR ANTHEM BLOOD OF JESUS BE MY ALL 6 What can wash away my sin? What can cover ev ry 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. 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; Be my all. 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, 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. Hear this sinner call; Blood of Jesus be my all.
OH THE DEEP, DEEP LOVE 7 Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free; Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me. Underneath me, all around me is the current of Your love; Leading onward, leading homeward to Your glorious rest above. Oh the deep, deep love; All I need and trust is the deep, deep love of Jesus. Oh the deep, deep love; All I need and trust is the deep, deep love of Jesus. INVITATION NEAR THE CROSS Jesus, keep me near the cross; There a precious fountain, free to all, a healing stream, flows from Calv ry s mountain. In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me; There the Bright and Morning Star sheds its beams around me. Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me; Help my walk from day to day with its shadows o er me. Near the cross I ll watch and wait, hoping, trusting ever, till I reach the golden strand just beyond the river.
OFFERTORY OH THE DEEP, DEEP LOVE 8 Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus, spread His praise from shore to shore; How He came to pay our ransom through the saving cross He bore, how He watches o er His loved ones, those He died to make His own; How for them He s interceding, pleading now before the throne. Oh the deep, deep love; All I need and trust is the deep, deep love of Jesus. Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus, far surpassing all the rest; It s an ocean full of blessing in the midst of every test. Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus, mighty Savior, precious Friend; You will bring us home to glory where Your love will never end. Oh the deep, deep love; All I need and trust is the deep, deep love of Jesus. Oh the deep, deep love; All I need and trust is the deep, deep love of Jesus. BENEDICTION NO OTHER GODS Nothing on earth will compete for Your throne. You are the sov reign I Am, and You reign in our hearts alone.
