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..
EVERY PRAISE
Every praise is to our God. Every word of worship with one accord
Every praise every praise is to our God.
Sing hallelujah to our God. Glory hallelujah is due our God
Every praise every praise is to our God. (Repeat 2x)
Every praise is to our God.
God my Savior, God my Healer, God my Deliverer
Yes He is, yes He is (Repeat )
God my Savior, God my Healer, God my Deliverer
Yes He is, yes He is, Yes He is, yes He is
Every praise is to our God. Every word of worship with one accord
Every praise every praise (Repeat 7x)… Is to our God
BROKEN VESSELS (AMAZING GRACE)
Verse 1: All these pieces, Broken and scattered, In mercy gathered,
Mended and whole, Empty handed, But not forsaken
I’ve been set free, I’ve been set free
Chorus: Amazing grace, How sweet the sound, That saved a one like me,
I once was lost, But now I’m found, Was blind but now I see
Oh I can see you now, Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying yourself down, Raising up the broken to life (pause)
Verse 2: You take our failure. You take our weakness
You set Your treasure, In jars of clay
So take this heart, Lord, I’ll be Your vessel
The world to see, Your life in me (Chorus 3x)
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
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
“Surely God is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid, For the Lord
God is my strength and song; Yes, God has become my salvation.”
ISAIAH 2:2
“I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that
no one can shut. You don’t have much strength, I know that; you used
what you had to keep my Word. You didn’t deny me when times were
rough. And watch as I take those who call themselves true believers
but are nothing of the kind, pretenders whose true membership is in
the club of Satan—watch as I strip off their pretensions and they’re
forced to acknowledge it’s you that I’ve loved.“ REVELATIONS 3:8-9
