CORNERSTONE
My hope is built on nothing less… Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus name
Christ Alone, Cornerstone, Weak made strong In the Savior’s love
Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all
When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil
Christ Alone, Cornerstone, Weak made strong, In the Savior’s love,
Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all, He is Lord, Lord of all
Christ Alone, Cornerstone, Weak made strong
In the Savior’s love, through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all
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
BREATHE
This is the air I breathe. This is the air I breathe.
Your holy presence living in me.
This is my daily bread. This is my daily bread. Your very word spoken to me.
And I… I’m desperate for you. And I… I’m lost without you. (repeat all)
And I… I’m desperate for you. And I… I’m lost without you.
I’m lost without you. I’m lost without you.
I’m desperate for you. I’m desperate for you..
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
The man and his wife were naked, and they felt no shame.
GENESIS 2:25
When they heard the sound of God strolling in the garden in the
evening breeze, the Man and his Wife hid in the trees of the garden, hid
from God. God called to the Man: “Where are you?” He said, “I heard
you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. And I hid.” God
said, “Who told you you were naked? Did you eat from that tree I told
you not to eat from?” The Man said, “The Woman you gave me as a
companion, she gave me fruit from the tree, and, yes, I ate it.”
GENESIS 3:8-12
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and
not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.
PSALM 30:11-12
My dear children, let’s not just talk about love, let’s practice real love.
This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality.
It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when
there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts
and knows more about us than we do ourselves. And friends, once that’s
taken care of and we’re no longer accusing or condemning ourselves,
we’re bold and free before God! 1 JOHN 3:19-21
