Ecclesiastes
"How You Live the Life You Live"

How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r thru'out
The universe displayed

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

And when I think
That God His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die
I scarce can take it in
That on the cross
My burden gladly bearing
He bled and died
To take away my sin

Then sings my soul
Then sings my soul
Then sings my soul
How great thou art

Here's My Heart
Here's my heart Lord
Here's my heart Lord
Here's my heart Lord
Speak what is true

'Cause I am found I am Yours
I am loved I'm made pure
I have life I can breathe
I am healed I am free

'Cause You are strong You are sure
You are life You endure
You are good always true
You are light breaking through

You are more than enough
You are here You are love
You are hope You are grace
You're all I have You're everything

Where Heaven Touches Earth
Father catch my stumbling words
Tumble on to my passionate surge
While I am still
Sovereign, loving, patient, Savior
O’ that I’d be in Your favor
Let it be Your will

I come weary, heavy-laden
I come messy, humbly prayin’
To where heaven touches earth
I come honest, searching, seeking
I come childlike plainly speaking
To where heaven touches earth

Pure and simple hear my prayer
Innocent ramblings of joy and despair
While I am still
Sovereign, loving, patient, Savior
O’ that I’d be in Your favor
Let it be Your will

Launching myself into glorious praise
My love overflowing unabashed and ablaze
I can’t help but marvel and stand here amazed
Where heaven touches earth

Your Presence Is Heaven

Who is like You Lord in all the earth
Matchless love and beauty endless worth
For nothing in this world can satisfy
Jesus You're the cup that won't run dry

Your presence is heaven to me
Your presence is heaven to me

Treasure of my heart and of my soul
In my weakness You are merciful
Redeemer of my past and present wrong
Holder of my future days to come

Oh Jesus oh Jesus
Your presence is heaven to me
Oh Jesus oh Jesus
Your presence is heaven to me

All my days on earth I will await
The moment that I see You face to face
For nothing in this world can satisfy
Jesus You're the cup that won't run dry

Ecclesiastes
"How You Live the Life You Live"


Ecclesiastes 6:1-12
 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind: 2 a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity;[a] it is a grievous evil. 3 If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with life's good things, and he also has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he. 4 For it comes in vanity and goes in darkness, and in darkness its name is covered. 5 Moreover, it has not seen the sun or known anything, yet it finds rest rather than he. 6 Even though he should live a thousand years twice over, yet enjoy[b] no good—do not all go to the one place?

7 All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied.[c] 8 For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living? 9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

10 Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he. 11 The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man? 12 For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain[d] life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?

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)

Love Divine
Purify our hearts with truth
And guide them in Your way
Sanctify our lives anew
Have mercy Lord we pray
That we may do what's pleasing in Your sight
And know the fullness of Your sacrifice

We break this bread we drink this wine
Remembering the cross
The beauty of Your love divine
Is washing over us
That we may do what's pleasing in Your sight
And know the fullness of Your sacrifice

Lord we come to You
We're amazed by You and all You've done
All You've done for us
You have set us free
Oh the mystery of all You've done
All You've done for us

Alleluia alleluia alleluia amen
Oh alleluia alleluia alleluia amen

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

From our broken hearts we're crying out
From our deepest scars we're singing out

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)
