Holy Spirit

There's nothing worth more that will ever come close
No thing can compare You're our living hope
Your Presence

I've tasted and seen of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free and my shame is undone
In Your Presence Lord

Holy Spirit You are welcome here
Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere
Your glory God is what our hearts long for
To be overcome by Your Presence Lord

Let us become more aware of Your Presence
Let us experience the glory of Your goodness (Lord)

Your Presence Is Heaven To Me

Who is like You Lord in all the earth?
Matchless love and beauty, endless worth
Nothing in this world will satisfy
Jesus You're the cup that won't run dry

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 wrongs
Holder of my future days to come

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
Nothing in this world will satisfy
'Cause Jesus You're the cup that won't run dry

One Thing Remains
Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant in the trial and the change
One thing remains One thing remains

Your love never fails, it never gives up,
never runs out on me
Your love

On and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never ever have to be afraid
One thing remains One thing remains

In death in life I'm confident and cover’d by
the power of Your great love
My debt is paid there's nothing that can separate
my heart from Your great love

Reading

And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. (Isaiah 58:11 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,

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

To The One
To the One who sits upon the thrown
Be blessings, and honor, and glory, and power forever

Be blessings, and honor, and glory, and power forever
Be blessings, and honor, and glory, and power forever
Be blessings, and honor, and glory, and power forever
Forever

Jesus you're the sign
Jesus you're the wonder
You're the miracle there is no other

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Reading

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?" "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” 
(Romans‬ ‭11:33-36‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

Our God Saves

In the name of the father, in the name of the son,
In the name of the spirit, Lord we come
We’re gathered together to lift up Your name,
To call on our Savior, to fall on Your grace

Hear the joyful sound, of our offering
As your saints bow down, as your people sing
We will rise with You, lifted on Your wings
And the world will see that

Our God saves
Our God saves
There is hope
In Your name

Mourning turns
To songs of praise
Our God saves
Our God saves

God My Rock
When my heart is overwhelmed
I will look to You alone
God my rock God my rock God my rock
You will stand when others fall
You are faithful through it all
God my rock God my rock God my rock

In the blessing in the pain
Through it all You've never failed me

You are the strength of my heart
You are the strength of my heart
I can rely on You, I can rely on You

When I've struggled to believe
You have not let go of me
God my rock God my rock God my rock
Carried through the darkest storms
You have held me in Your arms
God my rock God my rock God my rock

You are the joy of my life
You are my song in the night
There is no one as true, Jesus I trust in You

Everlasting God
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
we will wait upon the Lord

Our God You reign forever
Our hope Our strong deliverer

You are the everlasting God

You do not faint You won't grow weary

You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

Stronger than the power of the grave

Constant in the trial and the change

One thing remains

Your love never fails,

Never runs out on me

On and on and on and on it goes

It overwhelms and satisfies my soul

And I never ever have to be afraid

One thing remains
One thing remains

In death in life I'm confident and

Cover'd by the power of Your great love

My debt is paid there's nothing that

Can separate my heart from Your great love

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)

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

© Brooke Fraser

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

© Eddy Mann

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)
