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..

Lord You are good and Your mercy endureth forever.
Lord You are good and Your mercy endureth forever.
People from every nation and tongue,
From generation to generation
We worship You! Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
We worship You for who You are
We worship You! Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
We worship You for who You are. You are good!
You are good all the time, all the time You are good
2. 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
(Repeat Chorus (3x) Acapella on last)
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
God has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. MICAH 6:8
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. MATTHEW 7:1-5
“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? Luke 6:46
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. ROMANS 14:10, 13
