Our Affirmation of Faith
We believe in God the creator of us all, whose desire for
diversity is seen in the rainbow of humanity. With unrelenting
passion God Seeks to be in relationship with all of us.
We believe in Jesus the Christ, who is the embodiment of
God’s redeeming grace; And in the Holy Spirit through whom
that grace continues its restoring work.
We believe in the Church. It is the body of Christ on the earth
today. As ministers of this church, we are all called like Jesus,
to heal, to deliver, to teach, and to serve.
We believe that together we can change the world,
in our time and for all time Amen!
Affirmation Chorus: In This Place
In this place, There’s joy that I can’t explain
In this place, There’s healing for all my pain
There is love unlike I’ve ever known
Everybody here makes me feel at home
As we gather here, I know I’m not alone
I feel God’s presence, Moving in this place..
BETTER THAN LIFE
Your love is everlasting. It’s an everlasting love.
Your mercy is as new as every rising of the sun.
And Your loving kindness, loving kindness, Is better than life
Your grace is all-sufficient It’s an all-sufficient grace.
Your power and Your glory are forever on display.
And Your loving kindness, loving kindness, Is better than life
Chorus: Oh, it’s better, oh, better than life. Oh, so much better, Jesus,
Your loving kindness… Is better than life.
Fairest of ten thousand. Of ten thousand You are fair.
And nothing in this world could ever measure or compare
To Your loving kindness, loving kindness, Is better than life
All your ways are just, Oh Lord. You’re just in all Your ways.
And I will lift my hands, Oh Lord, in gratitude and praise.
For Your loving kindness, loving kindness, Is better than life. (Repeat Chorus)
Jesus, Your loving kindness, is better than life itself. Better than life itself, Jesus,
Your loving kindness, Is better than life itself, better than life. (Repeat Chorus)
YOU SAY
Verse: I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know
Chorus: You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak And You say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe. What You say of me. I believe
Verse: The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity, o-ooh (chorus)
Verse: Taking all I have and now I’m laying it at Your feet
You have every failure God, and You’ll have every victory, o-ooh (Chorus)
Oh I believe. Yes I believe. What You say of me. Oh I believe
ABOVE ALL
Above all power, above all kings Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man. You were here before the world began.
Above all kingdom, above all thrones, Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure what you’re worth
Crucified, Laid behind a stone, You lived to die, rejected and alone. Like a rose,
trampled on the ground… You took the fall, And thought of me, Above all
I’LL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU
La la la la (4 times) Humbly I bow needing You now, Drawn by my desperation
Do I deserve this time You reserve, For friendship and conversation
Your voice unmistakable… I believe You when You say to me (pause)
I’ll never no never, I’ll never ever stop loving You
My precious possession, There is no end to what we can do
Unconditional forever, I’ll never stop loving You. La la la la (2x)
Boldly I stand taking Your hand, Still drawn by my desperation
Longing to hear You drawing me near, For friendship and conversation
Your voice unmistakable, I believe You when You say to me…
I’ll never no never, I’ll never ever stop loving You
My precious possession, There is no end to what we can do
Unconditional forever, I’ll never stop loving You. La la la la (4x)
Your voice unmistakable, I believe You when You say to me…
TAMMY: You say to me… RYAN: You say to me…
I’ll never no never, I’ll never ever stop loving You
My precious possession, There is no end to what we can do
Unconditional forever, Unconditional forever,
Unconditional forever, I’ll never stop loving You. La la la la (4x)
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
He has taken me to the banquet hall and his banner over me is love.
SONG OF SOLOMON 2:4
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or
hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are
considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced
that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the
present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor
anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love
of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8:35-39
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear
involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in
love. We love because He first loved us. 1 JOHN 4:18-19
