Friday

Here are the lyrics for this weekend's service:

O God Our Help in Ages Past
  1. Our God, our help in ages past,
    Our hope for years to come,
    Our shelter from the stormy blast,
    And our eternal home.

  2. Under the shadow of Thy throne
    Thy saints have dwelt secure;
    Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
    And our defense is sure.

  3. Before the hills in order stood,
    Or earth received her frame,
    From everlasting Thou art God,
    To endless years the same.

  4. Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
    "Return, ye sons of men:"
    All nations rose from earth at first,
    And turn to earth again.

  5. A thousand ages in Thy sight
    Are like an evening gone;
    Short as the watch that ends the night
    Before the rising sun.

  6. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
    With all their lives and cares,
    Are carried downwards by the flood,
    And lost in following years.

  7. Time, like an ever rolling stream,
    Bears all its sons away;
    They fly, forgotten, as a dream
    Dies at the opening day.

  8. Like flowery fields the nations stand
    Pleased with the morning light;
    The flowers beneath the mower’s hand
    Lie withering ere ‘tis night.

  9. Our God, our help in ages past,
    Our hope for years to come,
    Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
    And our eternal home.

    Only a God Like You

    For the praises of man 
    I will never ever stand 
    For the kingdoms of this world 
    I'll never give my heart away 
    Oh shout my praise 
    My allegiance and devotion 
    My heart's desire and all emotion 
    Go to serve the Man 
    Who died upon that tree 

    Only a God like You 
    Could be worthy of my praise 
    And all my hope and faith 
    To only a King of all kings 
    Do I bow my knee and sing 
    Give my everything (x2) 
    To only my Maker my Father my Savior 
    Redeemer Restorer Rebuilder Rewarder 
    To only a God like You 
    Do I give my praise 

    Only the God Who left His throne above 
    He came to live with us 
    Come to be one of us 
    To only the one 
    Who stopped to heal that blind man 
    Took the time to save that one lost lamb 
    To only the King Who wore that crown of thorns 
    So I could wear the crown of life 
    And to only the One Who conquered sin and death 
    So we could be set free 
    So we could stand here and sing 

    Only a God like You 
    Only a God like You 
    Only a God like you (x4) 

    To only my Maker my Father my Savior 
    Redeemer Restorer Rebuilder Rewarder 
    To only a God like You 
    I give my praise

    In Christ Alone

    In Christ alone my hope is found;
    He is my light, my strength, my song;
    This cornerstone, this solid ground,
    Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
    What heights of love, what depths of peace,
    When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
    My comforter, my all in all—
    Here in the love of Christ I stand.

    In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
    Fullness of God in helpless babe!
    This gift of love and righteousness,
    Scorned by the ones He came to save.
    Till on that cross as Jesus died,
    The wrath of God was satisfied;
    For ev'ry sin on Him was laid—
    Here in the death of Christ I live.

    There in the ground His body lay,
    Light of the world by darkness slain;
    Then bursting forth in glorious day,
    Up from the grave He rose again!
    And as He stands in victory,
    Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;
    For I am His and He is mine—
    Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

    No guilt in life, no fear in death—
    This is the pow'r of Christ in me;
    From life's first cry to final breath,
    Jesus commands my destiny.
    No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
    Can ever pluck me from His hand;
    Till He returns or calls me home—
    Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.

    Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

    Amazing grace how sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me
    I once was lost, but now I'm found
    Was blind, but now I see

    'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
    And grace my fears relieved
    How precious did that grace appear
    The hour I first believed

    My chains are gone, I've been set free
    My God, my Savior has ransomed me
    And like a flood His mercy reigns
    Unending love, amazing grace

    The Lord has promised good to me
    His word my hope secures
    He will my shield and portion be
    As long as life endures

    My chains are gone, I've been set free
    My God, my Savior has ransomed me
    And like a flood His mercy reigns
    Unending love, amazing grace

    My chains are gone, I've been set free
    My God, my Savior has ransomed me
    And like a flood His mercy reigns
    Unending love, amazing grace

    The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
    The sun forbear to shine
    But God who called me here below
    Will be forever mine, will be forever mine
    You are forever mine


    Blessings
