King of Kings

 
  King of Kings 
 Hillsong Worship

VERSE 1
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes

To fulfil the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt

CHORUS:
Praise the Father
Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory
Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings

VERSE 2
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross

For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died

VERSE 3
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death

And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored

VERSE 4
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His Name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me

Prayer for Thanksgiving Day

Prayer for Thanksgiving Day
Almighty God, most merciful Father,
you open your hand
 and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
We give you most humble and hearty thanks
that you have crowned the fields with your blessing,
and have permitted us once more
to gather in the fruits of the earth.

Bless and protect the living seed 
of your Word sown in our hearts,
that in the abundant fruits of righteousness
we may always present to you
 an acceptable thank-offering;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one true God, now and forever. Amen.

Blessed Assurance

Blessed Assurance
CityAlight 

All my attempts to be satisfied
Were vain and empty
Until the moment you rescued me
And your love filled me

My soul sings
Now my soul sings

What blessed assurance
I’ve found in you
I’ve found in you
I won’t be shaken I will not be moved
How steadfast your strong hand
Is keeping me
Is keeping me
I won’t be shaken I will not be moved
Oh blessed assurance

No other love that I’ve ever known
Compares to you God
No other love that I’ve ever found
Has done what you’ve done

Ever my anchor
Ever my strength
Ever my portion
And all I need

Ever my healing
Ever my hope
Ever the truth that leads me home
That leads me home

Prayer for Veterans Day

Dear Lord,
Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country. We pray that you will bless them, Lord, for their unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us.
Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made for their many different contributions to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression.
We respect them, we thank them, we honor them, we are proud of them, and we pray that you will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness. In Jesus’ name we pray; Amen. Here

In My Place

 
 In My Place
 Kenwood Music 

Verse 1 
God in heaven, high and holy, 
measure of all good and beauty, 
who can stand before the fire of holiness? 

Verse 2 
Sinners here so poor and needy, 
who would come and clear the guilty? 
If you numbered all our sins, Lord, who could stand? 

Chorus 
In my place He stood, 
all my debt nailed to the wood. 
All my stains washed white 
by the blood of Christ, my life. 

Verse 3 
Justice satisfied at Cal’vry; 
sin there silenced by His mercy. 
Where, O death, is your reply to Christ, our King? 

Verse 4 
Saints, forgiven, sing to Jesus; 
bow before the lamb slain for us. 
Hallelujah to the Savior evermore!

The Way, the Truth and the Life

 
 The Way, the Truth and the Life 
 CityAlight

V1
I will fix my eyes on Christ
The one and only way
I will follow in His steps
He leads me day by day

V2
I won’t trust in empty words
That wash away like sand
I have heard the Gospel truth
And on that rock I stand

   CHORUS    
I will follow the Son
He goes before me
Through death into glory
Preparing the way
‘Til the day He returns
I walk with assurance
For I know the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

V3     
Now death has no claim on me
My king rose from the grave
As He rose so I will rise
The Life has called my name
The Life has called my name

CHORUS
I will follow the Son
He goes before me
Through death into glory
Preparing the way
‘Til the day He returns
I walk with assurance
For I know the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

    BRIDGE     
I will run the race with hope and faith
No turning back He leads the way
On that final day with thanks and praise
I will run through Heaven’s gates

CHORUS
I will follow the Son
He goes before me
Through death into glory
Preparing the way
‘Til the day He returns
I walk with assurance
For I know the Way, and the Truth, and the Life
