The Stranger

 
The Stranger

Good and Gracious King

 
Good and Gracious King 
CityAlight

I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands I bring
But the promise of acceptance
From a good and gracious King

I will give to You my burden
As You give to me Your strength
Come and fill me with Your Spirit
As I sing to You this praise

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome, I lift my voice
To the King in need of nothing
Empty handed I rejoice

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome with joy I sing
By Your love I am accepted
You’re a good and gracious King

O what grace that You would see me
As Your child and as Your friend
Safe, secure in You forever
I pour out my praise again

Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious
Good and gracious
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious King

I Will Change Your Name...

I Will Change Your Name 
By The Nebblett Family

I will change your name. 
You shall no longer be called 
Wounded, outcast, 
Lonely or afraid. 

I will change your name. 
Your new name shall be 
Confidence, joyfulness, 
Overcoming one; 
Faithfulness, friend of God 
One who seeks My face. 

-------------------------------

The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.
You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,
but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,
    and your land Married;
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so shall your God rejoice over you.
    -Isaiah 62:2-5

'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’
-Revelation 2:17

Come, Let Us Return to the Lord

 
Come, Let Us Return to the Lord 
 Matt Boswell, Cochren and Co., Matt Papa

Vs 1
All we have like sheep gone astray
Each of us has turned our own way
But God laid all our wrongs, our sins
Upon the Sinless One, His only Son

Chorus
Come, let us return to the Lord
Come, now all His mercies remember
How wide His love that waits to welcome us
Oh, come, let us return to the Lord

Vs 2
All who feel the sting of your sin
Come and lift your eyes once again
How great a price was paid to save the souls of us
Who strayed, yet still we stray

Chorus

Vs 3
God, we need Your merciful hand
Heal us from our pride, heal our land
As we turn from our ways, oh turn our hearts to You
In praise, endless praise

Chorus

My work in Christ, is not in vain

For when I toil in Jesus’ name
His purpose will prevail

The tasks that You have set for me
I may not understand

Bring glory to Your name
In Your grace alone I will carry on

And set the captive free
So give me feet to seek the lost
Just as You searched for me

God is faithful to His word
Even when there seems no way
Though time may pass
His memory will not fade
His promises will never fail

Time and time again
His Word returns complete
To His truth I cling,
when the night is deep
Faithful He has been,
Faithful He will be

God is gracious when I doubt
He draws near though I retreat
Though I may wander
through the wilderness
He goes with me and gives me peace

Gracious He will be
What I don’t deserve,
the Father gives to me
Where He leads my feet,
I shall not want or need
Gracious He has been, gracious He will be

God is worthy of my song
Countless are His awesome deeds
His mighty hand has parted raging seas
For those He loves, He has redeemed

The Ascension of Christ

Sing we triumphant hymns of praise,
New hymns to Heaven exulting raise:
Christ, by a road before untrod,
Ascendeth to the throne of God.

Be Thou our joy and strong defense,
Who art our future recompense:
So shall the light that springs from Thee
Be ours through all eternity.
...The Venerable Bede

Memorial Day 2025

Lord Jesus, You taught us that there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for another. Today, we remember those who did just that. We honor their lives, their bravery, and their deep sense of duty. Thank You for their example of sacrificial love. Let Your peace rest on their families and Your strength carry our nation forward. Help us to never forget what was given for the freedom we enjoy. Make us a people who love mercy, walk humbly, and uphold justice. Let Your light shine through us as we remember the fallen. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Here

I Am Not My Own

 
 I Am Not My Own 
 Keith and Kristyn Getty, Skye Peterson

The One who made the heavens made my heart and soul 
Before I drew a breath, I was loved and known 
I am His creation, the Maker's masterpiece
And all that He designs will be done in me

My body is a temple of the Living God
I'll worship in this house that His blood has bought
As I bear His image, oh may I not profane
The holiness I hold in this earthly frame

CHORUS
I belong to the Lord, oh I am not my own 
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own
I will honor Him for this I know 
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own

And if He has redeemed me, I am not my own
The measure of my worth is His love alone
He declares my standing, and He declares my state 
So I will know myself by the name He gave CHORUS

I am not my own and now my heart is free
O Maker come and make what You will of me
There is nothing broken that You cannot repair
So Lord, I leave my life in Your loving care CHORUS

I Will Trust My Saviour Jesus

 
I Will Trust My Saviour Jesus
CityAlight

I will trust my Saviour Jesus
When my darkest doubts befall
Trust Him when to simply trust Him
Seems the hardest thing of all

I will trust my Saviour Jesus
Trust Him when my strength is small
For I know the shield of Jesus 
Is the safest place of all.
            
Jesus, only Jesus
Help me trust you more and more
Jesus, only Jesus
May my heart be ever yours
 
I will trust my Saviour Jesus
He has said His way is best
For I know the path He’s chosen
Leads to everlasting rest
 
Oh on that cross, how it was seen
I can go now ever trusting in the One who died for me
What could I bring for your gift is complete
So I trust you, simply trust you, Lord, with every part of me
