Worship Well

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
