10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)
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

The sun goes down and the day is ending
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the morning comes

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

© Jonas Myrin | Matt Redman

Mighty To Save
Ev’ryone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Ev’ryone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations

Savior He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Ev’rything I believe in
Now I surrender

Shine your light and
let the whole world see
We're singing
For the glory of the risen King
Jesus
Shine your light and
let the whole world see
We're singing
For the glory of the risen King

A Great Grace
With a friendly neighborhood love, You look over me
With a still and silent voice, You speak to me
With a warm forgiving smile, Lord, You adore me
With a simple childlike trust, I draw You nearer to me

You give a greater grace
Then I ever could imagine
Humbled I surrender my pride
You give a greater grace
Then I ever could imagine
I’m awash in heaven’s tide

With a faithful guardian love, You watch over me
With a strong and guiding hand, You provide for me
With a gentle forgiving heart, Lord, You adore me
With a simple childlike trust, I draw You nearer to me

I stand humbled
I stand humbled
Humbled in Your presence
I stand humbled
I stand humbled
Humbled in Your presence Lord

As I draw near to You
You draw nearer to me
The more I surrender
The more I’m free

Readings

Ecc 8:1-17 
1 Who is like the wise?
    And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
A man's wisdom makes his face shine,
    and the hardness of his face is changed.
2 I say:[a] Keep the king's command, because of God's oath to him.[b] 3 Be not hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand in an evil cause, for he does whatever he pleases. 4 For the word of the king is supreme, and who may say to him, “What are you doing?” 5 Whoever keeps a command will know no evil thing, and the wise heart will know the proper time and the just way. 6 For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble[c] lies heavy on him. 7 For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how it will be? 8 No man has power to retain the spirit, or power over the day of death. There is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it. 9 All this I observed while applying my heart to all that is done under the sun, when man had power over man to his hurt.

10 Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised[d] in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.[e] 11 Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. 12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him. 13 But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

14 There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. 15 And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.

16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night do one's eyes see sleep, 17 then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out. Even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out.


Psalm 73: 1-3, 16-17
1 Truly God is good to Israel,
    to those who are pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,
    my steps had nearly slipped.
3 For I was envious of the arrogant

    when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

16 But when I thought how to understand this,
    it seemed to me a wearisome task,
17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;
    then I discerned their end.

I Surrender All
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am Lord

I surrender all
I surrender all
I surrender all, to you

Beautiful
Powerful
Wonderful God

Majesty
Holy
Mighty God

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)

The Same Love
You choose the humble and raise them high
You choose the weak and make 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 God that spread the heavens wide
The same God 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

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

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

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.

Jesus Messiah
He became sin who knew no sin
That we might become His righteousness
He humbled Himself and carried the cross
Love so amazing love so amazing

Jesus Messiah Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer Emmanuel
The Rescue for sinners
The Ransom from heaven

His body the bread His blood the wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth trembled and the veil was torn
Love so amazing love so amazing

All our hope is in You
All our hope is in You
All the glory to You God
The Light of the world

Readings
15 In my vain[a] life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. 16 Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? 17 Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time? 18 It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand, for the one who fears God shall come out from both of them.

19 Wisdom gives strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.

20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

21 Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you. 22 Your heart knows that many times you yourself have cursed others.

23 All this I have tested by wisdom. I said, “I will be wise,” but it was far from me. 24 That which has been is far off, and deep, very deep; who can find it out?

25 I turned my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness that is madness. 26 And I find something more bitter than death: the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her. 27 Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things— 28 which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found. 29 See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.

Keep the King's Command
8 Who is like the wise?
    And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
A man's wisdom makes his face shine,
    and the hardness of his face is changed.
Ecc 7:15-8:1 (ESV)

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?

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
