Psalm 103:1
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and all that is within me,
    bless his holy name!

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

Psalm 104:33
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
    I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

Sing And Shout

Your cross Your cross it draws me to Your heart
It makes my spirit sing it makes my spirit sing
Your grace Your grace oh I hear it call my name
I'm waking up to sing, I'm waking up to sing

We will sing and shout yeah, sing and shout
Open up our hearts and pour Your praises out
We will sing and shout, sing and shout
Open up our hearts and pour Your praises out

Because because because Your love came down
It makes me want to sing, It makes me want to sing
Because because because You call my name
I'm waking up to sing,  I'm waking up to sing

What could be better than a grace
That washes all our shame away
What could be better than Your great love
What could be better than a grace
That leads us home and makes a way
What could be better than Your great love

Daniel 2:20
 Daniel answered and said:
“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
    to whom belong wisdom and might.

Blessed Be Your Name
Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow,
blessed be your name

Blessed be your name,
when I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness,
blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in,
Lord still I will say...

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
Your glorious name
Your glorious name,

Blessed be your name,
when the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name,
on the road marked with suffering
Oh, There's pain in the offering,
blessed be your name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to stay
Well Blessed be your name

Psalm 29:2
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.

The Heart Of Worship
When the music fades,
and all has slipped away
and I simply come.
Longing just to be,
 something that’s of worth
that will bless Your heart.

I'll bring You more than a song,
for a song in itself
is not what You have required.
You search much deeper within,
through the way things appear,
Your looking into my heart.

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
and its all about You, its all about You, Jesus.
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
when its all about You, its all about You, Jesus.

King of endless worth,
no one could express
how much you deserve.
Though I'm weak and poor,
all I have is Yours,
every single breath!

Psalm 84:10
For a day in your courts is better
    than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Better Is One Day
How lovely is Your dwelling place,
oh Lord almighty
My soul longs and even faints for You
For here my heart is satisfied,
within Your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask, and I would seek,
to see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells

My heart and flesh cry out,
for You the living God
Your spirit’s water for my soul                  
I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to You
I will draw near to you

© Matt Redman

Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk 
through the valley of the shadow of death,
    I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me

You Never Let Go
Even though I walk,
through the valley of the shadow of death,
Your perfect love is casting out fear.
And even when I'm caught
in the middle of the storms of this life,
I won't turn back, I know You are near.

And I will fear no evil,
For my God is with me.
And if my God is with me,
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Oh no, You never let go,
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go,
In every high and every low
O no, You never let go, Lord,
You never let go of me.

And I can see a light,
that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare.
And there will be an end
to these troubles, But until that day comes,
We'll live to know You here on the earth.

Yes, I can see a light that is coming,
for the heart that holds on,
And there will be an end to these troubles,
but until that day comes,
Still I will praise You,
still I will praise You.

1 Corinthians 13:1
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, 
but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I Have Not Loved
Jesus I could sing,
in the tongues of men and angels
But if I have not love,
I am just a clanging cymbal
An empty sound

And this is a love song,
this is a love song
Jesus a love song to You
A song of devotion,
of reverent passion
Savior a love song to You

Jesus I could pray,
with a faith that moves a mountain
But if I have not love,
 it is just a noise resounding
An empty sound

And this is a love song,
this is a love song
Jesus a love song to You
A song of devotion,
of reverent passion
Savior a love song to You

It's the overflow of hearts,
as we gaze upon Your beauty
A reflection of Your worth,
for we've seen a glimpse of You
In Your glory Lord

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)

Once Again
Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice,
You became nothing, poured out to death.
Many times, I’ve wondered at Your gift of life, and
I’m in that place once again,
I’m in that place once again.

And once again I look upon the cross where You died,
I’m humbled by Your mercy and I’m broken inside.
Once again I thank you, once again I pour out my life.

Now You are, exalted to the highest place,
King of the heavens, where one day I’ll bow
But for now, I marvel at this saving grace, and
I’m full of praise once again
I’m full of praise once again.

Thank you for the cross
Thank you for the cross,
Thank you for the cross, my friend.

© Matt Redman

Blessing

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.

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 power through out, The universe displayed

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

© Stuart Hine

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

I Never Walk Alone
I never walk alone
You linger by my side
I never walk alone
You are with me

You go before me and follow me
You place Your blessing on my head
You hem me in – behind and before
You’ve laid your hand upon my head

Reading

13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
(Matthew 5:13-16 ESV)

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)

Glory To God Forever

Before the world was made, before You spoke it to be
You were the King of kings, yeah You were, yeah You were
And now You're reigning still, enthroned above all things
Angels and saints cry out, we join them as we sing

Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God, forever
Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God, forever

Creator God, You gave me breath so I could praise
Your great and matchless name, all my days, all my days
So let my whole life be a blazing offering
A life that shouts and sings the greatness of our King

Take my life and let it be
All for You and for Your glory
Take my life and let it be yours

He Reigns
It's the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It's the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God's holy fire
It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir

It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

Let it rise about the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this

And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they've just heard
'Cause all the powers of darkness
Can't drown out a single word

Revelation Song
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is Thee
Sing a new song to Him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is He
Sing a new song to Him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lighting rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor strength and glory and power be
To You the only one who's King

Filled with wonder awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus Your name is power, breath and living water
Such a marvelous mystery

40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus.

Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah.[i] You shall be called Cephas” (which is translated, A Stone).

43 The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”

Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

48 Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

49 Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter[j] you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

A Greater Grace

With a friendly neighboring 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, nearer, 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, nearer, nearer to me

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

And answer me

Teach me your way, O Lord
And lead me
And lead me

I will wait for You and be strong
I will wait for You and be strong

O That I May Dwell (In the House of the Lord)

To delight in His word
To know His sweet compassion, is all that I require

The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!” When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?” They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?” “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.
