The Steadfast Love of the Lord

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,

His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning, new every morning:

great is your faithfulness, O Lord

great is your faithfulness!

Praise Before My Breakthrough

I know the tension of the now, I don’t always understand
I don’t always get to see, Everything

When I’m holding up my hands, When I’m counting every breath
Lord, all I need to know is, You choose me, You choose me

I’ll praise before my breakthrough, ‘Til my song becomes my triumph
I will sing because I trust You, I will bring my heart, I will lift my song

When I’m listening for Your voice, And I’m shutting out the noise
I know that You will speak, Clearly

When I’m living out my faith, When I’m stepping on the sea
I know You take my hand, And walk with me, Walk with me

He who came in power, He will come again,

He who heals the sick, won’t He move again
He who raised the dead, won’t He raise again, And I will sing, I will sing

And I will sing because I trust You, And I’ll worship because I trust
I sing because I love You, And I’ll bring my heart, I will lift my song

I Will Exalt You, Lord

Your Presence is all I need, It’s all I want, all I seek
Without it, without it there’s no meaning

Your Presence is the air I breathe, The song I sing, the love I need
Without it, without it I’m not living

I will exalt You, Lord, I will exalt You, Lord, There is no one like You God
I will exalt You, Lord, I will exalt You, Lord, No other name be lifted high

There will be no one like You, And no one beside You,                                        You alone are worthy of all praise

Break Every Chain

There is power in the name of Jesus (3X)
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain (2X)

There’s an army rising up (3X)
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain (2X)

There is power in the name of Jesus (3X)
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain (2X)

There’s an army rising up (3X)
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain (2X)

I hear the chains falling, I hear the chains falling

Had It Not Been The Lord

Had it not been the Lord who is on our side, Had it not been the Lord who is on our side
The anger of the enemy would have swallowed us alive

Had it not been the Lord who is on our side

Blessed be The lord who would not give us up

Blessed be The Lord for His unfailing Love
The snare is broken and we have escaped,

Our help is in The name of The Lord, Blessed be The Lord

Had it not been the Lord who is on our side, Had it not been the Lord who is on our side
The water would have engulfed us, We would have surely died
Had it not been the Lord who is on our side

Come to the Hope Chapel playground for corporate prayer and worship. We will enjoy each other at a safe distance while seeking the Lord and His will. Three Wednesday evenings in August, so bring your water bottle and personal mister.

Wednesday nights, August 12th, 19th, and 26th from 7-8:30.

Each Day

Each day…I grow a little nearer, Each day…He seems a little dearer

Each day…I grow a little nearer to the Lord

Each day…my path gets brighter, Each day…my load gets lighter

Each day…I grow a little nearer to the Lord

While on this pilgrim’s journey a servant I will be

Oh each day (each day) I grow a little nearer to Thee

My friends talk about me but that don’t bother me
Because each day (Each day) I grow a little nearer to the Lord

You know when trouble overtakes me, Right by my side He’ll be
Yes, each day (each day) I grow a little nearer to Thee

Yes, I know he’s water when I’m thirsty
A shelter, Lord, for me, And each day (each day) I grow a little nearer to the Lord

Waiting Here For You

If faith can move the mountains, let the mountains move

We come with expectation, waiting here for You, Waiting here for You

You’re the Lord of all Creation, and still you know my heart

The Author of salvation, You’ve loved me from the start

Waiting here for You, with our hands lifted high in praise

And it’s You, we adore, singing Alleluia

You are everything You’ve promised, Your faithfulness is true

We’re desperate for Your presence, All we need is You

Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word.

Just to rest upon His promise, just to know “Thus saith  the  Lord.”

Jesus, Jesus,  how I trust Him!  How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!  O for grace to trust  Him more!

how sweet to trust in Jesus, just to trust His cleansing blood.

Just in simple faith to plunge me, ‘neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus, just from sin and self to cease,

Just from Jesus simply taking, life and rest and joy and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Him, precious Jesus, Savior, Friend.

And I know that He is with me, will be with me to the end.

God is So Good

God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He’s so good to me

He answers prayer, (Hallelujah)…He’s so good to me!

I praise His name, (Hallelujah)…He’s so good to me!

The answer’s not to force a moral story, The answer’s not to bring back days of old

The answer is the King in all His glory, Come and take your throne

When times times are strange and righteousness seems complicated

When lies and truth are said to be more integrated

The Holy Ghost time after time has demonstrated, Jesus is alive

You Reign Above It All

The reign of darkness now has ended, In the kingdom of light, In the kingdom of light
Forever under Your dominion, You’re the King of my life, You’re the King of my life

You reign above it all, You reign above it all, Over the universe
And over every heart, There is no higher name, Jesus You reign above it all

On the cross the work was finished, God You poured out Your life, Just to give us new life
Now from the lips of the forgiven, Hear an anthem arise, ‘Cause Jesus You’re alive

Let all of heaven and the earth erupt in song, Sing hallelujah to the Everlasting One
There is no higher name, Jesus You reign above it all, You reign above it all

You sent the darkness running, Out of an empty grave
Now seated alone in glory, Enthroned on the highest praise (4X)

Goodness of God

I love You Lord, Oh Your mercy never fails me, All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up, Until I lay my head, I will sing of the goodness of God

All my life You have been faithful, All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice, You have led me through the fire, In darkest nights

You are close like no other, I’ve known You as a father

I’ve known You as a friend, I have lived in the goodness of God

Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me (2X)

With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now, I give You everything

Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
