O Come All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!
Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him born the king of angels:

Oh come, let us adore him, Oh come, let us adore him,
Oh come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!

Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of  heaven above!
Glory to God in the highest:

Bring Him all the glory, for He alone is worthy

Your Name
Humbly to the earth You came
Born into this world to save
God with us, Emmanuel
Now we adore Your name

Your Name is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name is a shelter like no other
Your Name, let the nations sing it louder
'Cause nothing has the power to save, but Your Name

Jesus, in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live for You
and glorify Your Name

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.
(Colossians 3:12-15 NIV)

Communion
Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” 
(Matthew 26:26-29 ESV)

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.

Rejoice (O Come Emmanuel)
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel.
Shall come to Thee, O Israel

O Come, O Come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height
In ancient times did give the law,
in cloud, and majesty, and awe

Rejoice! Rejoice!

O Come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high,
and close the path to misery

Joyful (The One Who Saves)

Joyful joyful we adore You
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before You
Opening to the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of Eternal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

You are the One who saves
You are the One who saves
You are the One
Who’s hands lift us from the grave
You are the light of life
The everlasting day
You are the One
Who takes all our sins away

You are giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blessed
Fountain of the joy of living
Ocean depths of happy rest

Jesus you are my rescue
Jesus you are my rescue
I give you everything I am

He Remembers
He remembers my first breath of air
He remembers because He was there
And still my Maker is with me everywhere
He remembers and He’s with me now

He remembers the first word I said
He remembers when I turned and fled
And still my Father never turned His head
He remembers and He’s with me now

He feels my pulse, and the pulse of everything
Every moment ever lived; each created thing
He knows my name, and the thoughts that cross my mind
He knows my heart, and the heart of all mankind

He remembers every tear I’ve sown
He remembers when I felt alone
And still my Savior has never left me on my own
He remembers and He’s with me now

© Eddy Mann

What Can I Do
From the high and holy, to a manger lowly
The greatest mystery the world has ever known
How you left your majesty, to embrace humanity
It awes and humbles me to be loved by a God so high

What can I do but thank you
What can I do but give my life to you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What can I do but praise you
Everyday make everything I do
A hallelujah, a hallelujah, a hallelujah

To the least and lowest, You became as one with us
In our grief and brokenness You suffered by our side
From a cradle to the cross, rising up victorious
The Messiah Jesus
Born to us on that holy night

Amazed

You dance over me
While I am unaware
(And) You sing all around
But I never hear the sound

Lord I'm amazed by You
Lord I'm amazed by You

You paint the morning sky
With miracles in mind
My hope will always stand
(For) You hold me in Your hand

How wide
How deep
How great
Is Your love for me

Comfort, oh comfort. Speak softly and tenderly
Make it perfectly clear, that our savior is near

Make a road straight and smooth, a highway fit for a King
Calm the valleys and the hills. Raise your voice and sing

He's coming, He's coming to shepherd His love
In His arms He will hold us, with the blessing from above
He's coming, He's coming to shepherd His love
In His words He will guide us with the power from above

Clear the way for the Lord. Clear the way for the Lord
Prepare a place for His glory to shine

He's coming, He's coming, He's coming, He's coming
He's coming, He's coming, with the blessing from above

Here I Am To Worship

Light of the world, you stepped out into darkness Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore you
Hope of a life spent with You

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

King of all days, Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sins upon that cross

© Tim Hughes

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

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.  (Ephesians 1;15-23 ESV)

Jesus Paid It All

I hear the Savior say,
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray,
find in Me thine all in all

'Cause Jesus paid it all,
all to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow

Lord now indeed I find,
Thy pow'r and Thine alone
Can change the leper's spots,
and melt the heart of stone

'Cause Jesus paid it all,
all to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow

It's washed away,
All my sin and all my shame

And when before the throne,
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save,
my lips shall still repeat

Oh praise the One who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead

10,000 Reasons

The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing

Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising
All the joy that's growing deep inside of me
Every time I see You, all Your goodness shines through
And I can feel this God song, rising up in me

Be Still And Know

Be still oh restless soul of mine
Bow before the prince of peace
Let the noise and clamor cease

Be still and know that he is God
Be still and know that he is faithful
Consider all that he has done
Stand in awe and be amazed
And know that he will never change

Be still and know that he is God
Be still and know that he is God
Be still and know that he is God
Be still, be speechless

Be still and know that he is God
Be still and know he is our Father
Come rest your head upon his breast
Listen to the rhythm of
His unfailing heart of love
Beating for his little ones
Calling each of us to come
Be still

1 God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
    though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy habitation of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
    God will help her when morning dawns.
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
    he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
    how he has brought desolations on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the chariots with fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth!”
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

Indescribable

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Beautiful One
Wonderful, so wonderful is Your unfailing love
Your cross has spoken mercy over me
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart could fully know
How glorious, how beautiful You are

Beautiful One I love You
Beautiful One I adore
Beautiful One my soul must sing

Powerful, so powerful, Your glory fills the skies
Your mighty works displayed for all to see
The beauty of Your majesty, awakes my heart to sing
How marvelous, how wonderful You are

You opened my eyes to Your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on earth is as beautiful as You

My soul, my soul must sing
My soul, my soul must sing
My soul, my soul must sing
Beautiful One

In the name of the spirit, Lord we come

As your saints bow down, as your people sing
We will rise with You, lifted on Your wings
And the world will see that

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success[a] wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:1-9 ESV)

Communion
Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” 
(Matthew 26:26-29 ESV)

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)

Lead Me To The Cross

Savior I come quiet my soul remember
Redemption's hill where Your Blood was spilled for my ransom
Everything I once held dear, I count it all as loss

Lead me to the cross, where Your Love poured out
Bring me to my knees, Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to You
Oh lead me lead me to the cross

You were as I tempted and tried human
The Word became flesh bore my sin and death now You're risen
Everything I once held dear, I count it all as loss

To Your Heart. To Your Heart
Lead me to Your Heart. Lead me to Your Heart

O That I May Dwell
O that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life

And gaze at His beauty
And muse at His feet

Oh that I may dwell in His presence
To delight in His word
To know His sweet compassion, is all that I require

If It's True
If it’s true that You’re thinking of me now
If it’s true I really am Your precious child
If it’s true that You’re singing over me
What else could I ever want what else could I need

If it’s true that You cherish who I am
Won’t reject me like some others choose to do
If it’s true that You take delight in me
What else could I ever want what else could I need
Just knowing that forever, Your affections are toward me

I can stand no matter what I’m facing
Carry on though the storms they may be raging
I can rise turn these ashes into praises
tagAll I really need is to know You always will …Love me

If it’s true when I’m abandoned and alone
You are there in my suffering You will share
If it’s true You’ve collected all my tears
What else could I ever want what else should I fear

If it’s true You’ve forgiven all my sins
Made me new all my past forever gone
If it’s true that You’ve prepared a place for me
What else could I ever want what else could I need
Just knowing that forever, Your affections are toward me

You love me You love me You love me, that’s all I need to know
You want me You want me You want me
You’re calling me Your own

What matters most is that You love me
What matters most is that You care
What matters most is that You want me
There’s nothing else that can compare

Something Beautiful & New
Father please forgive the mess I've made
Things have gotten out of hand
Hear my honest heart put forth the truth
It's time I took a stand

I know my path's not always straight
I wander on my own
I long to rest upon the word
That always brings me home

Hear my soul cry out to You
Feel my heart reveal its shame
Create in me something beautiful and new
I pray this in Your name

I'm on a journey to understand
My discipleship to You
Grant me wisdom, guide me
To create something beautiful and new

Readings

13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
    and the one who gets understanding,
14 for the gain from her is better than gain from silver
    and her profit better than gold.
15 She is more precious than jewels,
    and nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
    in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
    and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
    those who hold her fast are called blessed. 
                                              (Proverbs 3:13-18 ESV)

Jesus Loves Me

I was lost I was in chains
The world had a hold of me
My heart was a stone I was covered in shame
When He came for me

I couldn't run couldn't run from His presence
I couldn't run couldn't run from His arms

Jesus He loves me
He loves me He is for me
Jesus how can it be
He loves me He is for me

It was a fire deep in my soul
I'll never be the same
I stepped out of the dark and into the light
When He called my name

He holds the stars and He holds my heart
With healing hands that bear the scars
The rugged cross where He died for me
My only hope my ev'rything

Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love

Lord you are faithful, faithful to me

Lift Up the Light of Your Face
Key me in when I cry out
O God make me aware
You have softened my rugged heart
Kindly turn your ear to my prayer

You've placed peacefulness by my side
All within my embrace
No earthly joy could ever equate
To being in your grace

There are many who say
Who can we trust?
Lift up the light of your face
(And shine on us)

There are so many
Who only know mistrust
Lift up the light of your face
(And shine on us)

In the calm and quietude
I slumber restfully secure
For you alone, O my Love
You are all that's sure

"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything. "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food"—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh." But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Cor 6:12-20)
