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..
OVERWHELMED
I see the work of Your Hands, Galaxies spin in a Heavenly dance
Oh God, All that You are is so overwhelming,
I hear the sound of Your voice,
All at once it’s a gentle and thundering noise,
Oh God, All that You are is so overwhelming
I delight myself in You, Captivated by Your beauty
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
God, I run into Your arms, Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You (PAUSE)
I know the power of Your Cross,
Forgiven and free forever You’ll be my God
And all that You’ve done is so overwhelming
I delight myself in You, In the Glory of Your Presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
And God I run into Your arms. Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You (PAUSE)
You are Beautiful, You are Beautiful,
Oh God, there is no one more Beautiful
You are Beautiful, God you are the most Beautiful
You are Wonderful, You are Wonderful,
Oh God, there is no one more Wonderful
You are Wonderful, God You are the most Wonderful
You are Glorious, You are Glorious,
Oh God, there is no one more Glorious
You are Glorious, God you are the most Glorious
I delight myself in You, In the Glory of Your Presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
And God I run into Your arms, Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You,
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
There is no one more Beautiful, God you are the most beautiful.
Acapella: I delight myself in You, In the Glory of Your Presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
THE MORE I SEEK YOU
Tammy: The more I seek you, the more I find you
The more I find you, the more I love you
Chorus: I wanna sit at your feet, drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breathe, feel your heart beat
This love is so deep, it’s more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it’s overwhelming.
All: The more I seek you, the more I find you
The more I find you, the more I love you
(Repeat Chorus 2x followed by instrumental break)
Tammy: I wanna sit at your feet, drink from the cup in your hand
Lay back against you and breathe, feel your heart beat
All: This love is so deep, it’s more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it’s overwhelming.
Accapella:I wanna sit at your feet, drink from the cup in your hand
Lay back against you and breathe, feel your heart beat
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… RANDY: 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:
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 8:38-39
So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. Love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because as God is, so are we in the world. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love. We love because God first loved us.
1 JOHN 4:16-19
