Open up your heart and give him praise
Lift up holy hands unashamed in the sanctuary.
Gotta open up your mouth and give Him praise
Open up your heart and give him praise
Lift up holy hands unashamed

WONDERFUL MERCIFUL SAVIOR
Wonderful, merciful Savior, Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue our souls from sin. O could rescue our souls from sin
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper, Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have Hopelessly lost the way
Oh, we’ve hopelessly lost the way
You are the One that we praise, You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for
Almighty, infinite Father, Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us Falling before Your throne
Oh, we’re falling before Your throne
GOD OF ALL MY DAYS
I came to You with my heart in pieces
And found you God with healing in your hands
I turned to You, put everything behind me
And found the God who makes all things new
I looked to You, drowning in my questions
And found the God who holds all wisdom
And I trusted You and stepped out on the ocean
You caught my hand among the waves
Chorus:
‘Cause You’re the God of all my days, Each step I take
You make a way. And I will give You all my praise. My seasons
change, You stay the same. You’re the God of all my days (Pause)
I ran from You, and wandered in the shadows
And found a God who relentlessly pursues
I hid from You, haunted by my failure
And found the God whose grace still covers me
I fell on You when I was at my weakest
And found the God, the lifter of my head
And I’ve worshiped You. And felt You right beside me
You’re the reason that I sing (chorus)
In my worry, God You are my stillness
In my searching, God You are my answers
In my blindness, God You are my vision
In my bondage, God You are my freedom
In my weakness, God You are my power
You’re the reason that I sing (chorus)
In my blindness, God You are my vision.
In my bondage, God You are my freedom… All my days
“I BELIEVE IN MUSIC”
Verse 1: I could just sit around making music all day long
As long as I’m making music I know I can’t do nobody no wrong
And who knows someday I’ll come up with a song
makes people want to stop all this fussing and fighting
Just long enough to sing along. I believe in music, I believe in love
Verse 2: Music is love and love is music. if you know what I mean
People who believe in music are the happiest people I’ve ever seen
So clap your hands and stomp your feet and shake those tambourines
Lift your voices to the sky God loves to hear you sing
I believe in music, I believe in love
I believe in music, I believe in love (key change)
Verse 3: Music is the universal language, and love is the key
To brotherhood peace and understanding, and living in harmony
So take your sister by the hand and sing along with me
Lift your voices to the sky, and know what it is to be free.
I believe in music, I believe in love
I believe in music, I believe in love (repeat) Key change
I believe in music, I believe in love, I believe in music, I believe in love
Today’s Scripture
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your
neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you,
love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you
may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise
on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the
unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you
get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet
only your own people, what are you doing more than others?
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
MATTHEW 5:43-48
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is
knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy
in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of
childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a
mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these
three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-13
