Ecclesiastes
"What's Your Distinctive Message?"

Forever Reign
You are good
You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love
You are love
On display for all to see
You are light
You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope
You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace
You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true
You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy
You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life
You are life
In You death has lost its sting

Oh, I'm running to Your arms
I'm running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more
You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord
You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here
You are here
In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God
You are God
Of all else I'm letting go

My heart will sing
No other name
Jesus
Jesus

The Same Love
You chose the humble
And raised them high
You chose the weak
And made them strong
You heal our brokenness inside
And give us life

The same love
That set the captives free
The same love
That opened eyes to see
Is calling us all by name
You are calling us all by name
The same love that spread the heavens wide
The same love
That was crucified
Is calling us all by name
You are calling us all by name

You take the faithless
One aside
And speak the words
"You are mine"
You call the cynic
And the proud
Come to me now

You're calling
You're calling
You're calling us to the cross

Bring It All
I lay my life down
Before Your glorious crown
My praises only for You
I pour my love out
Bearing no shed of doubt
My worship's only for You

Only for You do I bring it all
Only for You do I bring it all

Take my offering
My all for my great King
My praises only for You
My breath is Yours Lord
The cross is my reward
My worship's only for You

Open the floodgates of heaven
Pour out Your blessings on me
Only for You do I bring it all
I come before You humbly

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that Your my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

Humble King
Oh kneel me down again
Here at Your feet
Show me how much You love
Humility
Oh spirit be the start
That leads me to
The humble heart of love
I see in You

'Cause you are the God of the broken
The friend of the weak
You wash the feet of the weary
Embrace the ones in need
I want to be like You Jesus
To have this heart in me
You are the God of the humble
You are the humble king

Ecclesiastes
"What's Your Distinctive Message"


Ecclesiastes 3:16-22
16 Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness. 

17 I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work. 

18 I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts. 19 For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity.[a] 20 All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. 

21 Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth? 

22 So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be after him?

Communion
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ESV)

Enter This Temple
We are saved in a world that's lost
All our hope rests in Your cross
God of strength our weakness shows
We need You
We need You

Father, enter this temple
Come touch Your people
We need to be where You are
And children living as there Father
Washed in pure water
We need to be like You are

We are searching for Your presence
We are knocking on Your door
Let Your wings cover us with promise
For communion
For communion

To be like You are
To be where You are
And Father, come touch Your people

Amazing Love
Amazing love that rescued me
From all my sin and shame
Amazing love that set me free
I'll never be the same

I humbly walk before Your cross
I choose to follow You
I count all things I've gained as loss
Compared to knowing You

For nothing compares
To Your love on the cross
And the blood that was shed
For this soul that was lost
Forever I'll sing of Your unfailing grace
Forever I'll sing of Your name

I long to see all nations bow
And worship at Your feet
When every tongue and tribe will shout
That Jesus Christ is King

And when this life has tasted death
I'll go to be with You
I'll come before Your heavenly gates
And grace will see me through

Forever in this perfect place
What joy that day will be
The crown of life upon my brow
And with the angels I'll sing

Blessing
May the Lord bless us and keep us; 
May he make His face shine upon us, and be gracious to us, 
May he lift up His countenance upon us, and give us peace. 
(Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)
