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

He's Alive
I know that my Redeemer lives
What comfort this sweet sentence gives
He lives He lives Who once was dead
He lives my ever-living Head

Lift your eyes the Savior has arrived
He's alive He's alive
Saints arise Jesus is alive
He's alive He's alive

He lives all glory to His name
He lives my Jesus still the same
Oh the sweet joy this sentence gives
I know that my Redeemer lives

How Deep The Father's Love For Us
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts no pow’r no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

I Run To You
I come to You with open arms
With all my heart and a love that's sure
I come to You with silent prayer
With all mu soul and a faith that's sure

Let me find favor
Let me find favor
Let me find favor with You

I run to You
I run to You
I run to You my God

Readings

     “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.

The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”

But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.”

Genesis 6:1-2, 5, 7-11, 13, 17-19 ESV

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)

That's Why We Praise Him
He came to live live a perfect life
He came to be the living word our light
He came to die so we'd be reconciled
He came to rise to show His pow'r and might

That's why we praise Him that's why we sing
That's why we offer Him our ev'rything
That's why we bow down and worship this King
'Cause He gave His ev'rything

He came to live live again in us
He came to be our conquering King and friend
He came to heal and show the lost ones His love
He came to go prepare a place for us

Halle hallelujah
Halle hallelujah
