FINAL SONG
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..
INDESCRIBABLE
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea. Creation’s revealing Your
majesty. From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings. All exclaiming:
Chorus: Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky
and You know them by name. You are amazing God…
All powerful, untamable, Awestruck we fall to our knees
as we humbly proclaim: You are amazing God
Who has told every living thing how it should grow. Or seen heavenly
storehouses laden with snow. Who imagined the sun and gives source to
it’s light, Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night. None can fathom:
(Chorus) You are amazing God… (Chorus)
(Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky and
You know them by name. You are amazing God… Incomparable,
unchangeable, You see the depths of my heart and You love me the
same, You are amazing God… You are amazing God) Repeat( )
DO IT AGAIN
Randy: Walking around these walls
I thought by now they’d fall. But You have never failed me yet
Tammy: Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle’s won. For You have never failed me yet
Chorus: Your promise still stands, Great is Your faithfulness, your faithfulness
I’m still in Your hands, This is my confidence, You’ve never failed me yet
(Randy) Never failed me yet
Verse: I know the night won’t last, Your Word will come to pass
My heart will sing Your praise again, God, You are still enough
Keeping me in Your love, My heart will sing Your praise again (Chorus 2x)
Bridge I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ll see You do it again OOHH (pause) (Chorus 2x)
Outro: Oh, You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget
You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget
I AM NOT ALONE
Verse1 When I walk through deep waters, I know that You will be with me
When I’m standing in the fire I will not be overcome
Through the valley of the shadow, I will not fear
Chorus I am not alone. I am not alone
You will go before me, You will never leave me
I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, You will never leave me
Verse2 In the midst of deep sorrow, I see Your light is breaking through
The dark of night will not overtake me, I am pressing into You
Lord, You fight my every battle, Oh, and I will not fear (Chorus)
VampYou amaze me, Redeem me, You call me as Your own (repeat 3x)
You’re my strength, You’re my defender, You’re my refuge in the storm
Through these trials, You’ve always been faithful, You bring healing to my soul
Repeat chorus 3x
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are
perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken;
cast down, but not destroyed. 2 CORINTHIANS 4:8-9
God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever
imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does
it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit
deeply and gently within us. EPHESIANS 3:14-21
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come
at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faithlife is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t
try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you
become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
JAMES 1:1-2
