My Lighthouse
In my wrestling and in my doubts
In my failures You won't walk out
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea whoa oh
You are the peace in my troubled sea

In the silence You won't let go
In the questions Your truth will hold
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea whoa oh
You are the peace in my troubled sea

My Lighthouse my Lighthouse
Shining in the darkness
I will follow You oh
My Lighthouse my Lighthouse
I will trust the promise
You will carry me safe to shore
Safe to shore safe to shore safe to shore

I won't fear what tomorrow brings
With each morning I'll rise and sing
My God's love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea whoa oh
You are the peace in my troubled sea

Fire before us
You're the brightest
You will lead us
Through the storms

You Shine Through
You shine brighter when we're broken
With our hearts stretched out upon the floor
In our weakness and our failures
Your light shines beauty to this world

From our broken hearts we're crying out

Through the cracks in all of us
Through the fractures and our dust
You shine through You shine through
In the darkness You're the dawn
Blazing like the morning sun
You shine through You shine through

No our sin will not define us
For Your cross it speaks the final word
Guilt and shame are now behind us
And You are making us brand new

May Your Favor Rest On Us
Our God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home

Under the shadow of Thy throne
May we dwell secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defense is sure

May Your favor rest on us
Your kindness, Your goodness
May Your favor rest on us

A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun

Come As You Are
Come out of sadness from wherever you've been
Come broken-hearted let rescue begin
Come find your mercy O sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal

(So) Lay down your burdens lay down your shame
All who are broken lift up your face
O wanderer come home
You're not too far
So lay down your hurt lay down your heart
Come as you are

There's hope for the hopeless
And all those who've strayed
Come sit at the table come taste the grace
There's rest for the weary
Rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't cure

Come as you are
Fall in His arms
Come as you are

Readings
A good name is better than fine perfume,
    and the day of death better than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
    than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone;
    the living should take this to heart.
3 Frustration is better than laughter,
    because a sad face is good for the heart.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
    but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
5 It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person
    than to listen to the song of fools.
6 Like the crackling of thorns under the pot,
    so is the laughter of fools.
    This too is meaningless.
7 Extortion turns a wise person into a fool,
    and a bribe corrupts the heart.
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
    and patience is better than pride.
9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit,
    for anger resides in the lap of fools.
10 Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
    For it is not wise to ask such questions.
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing
    and benefits those who see the sun.
12 Wisdom is a shelter
    as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
    Wisdom preserves those who have it.
13 Consider what God has done:

Who can straighten
    what he has made crooked?
14 When times are good, be happy;
    but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one
    as well as the other.
Therefore, no one can discover
    anything about their future. (Ecclesiastes 7:1-14)

 Proverbs 22:1

A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.

Psalm 90:12

12  So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

 Proverbs 15:31

31  The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise.

   Proverbs 14:29

29  Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

   Proverbs 16:32

32  Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

 Ecclesiastes 11:7

7 Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.

 Proverbs 3:18

18  She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed.

Ecclesiastes 1:15

15  What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be counted.

 Job 12:14

14  If he tears down, none can rebuild; if he shuts a man in, none can open.

   Ecclesiastes 3:4

4  a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

 Ecclesiastes 3:22

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)


We Stand In God's Grace
We live a life of grace in our attitudes  
In the way we speak, in the way we care
We live a life of grace in our actions  
In the way we give, in the way we share
 
We stand in God's grace  
All the time, and in every place

Oh that we honor His blessing        
By living it toward everyone
Shinning amongst the darkness
Reflecting the love of His Son

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)
