What's new at Hope.

  1. The Servant Songs: Magnify Jesus From The Book of Isaiah

    Isaiah Lived 750 BC – 680 BC – 8th Century BC

    The Servant Songs

    First century Christians quote Isaiah more than any other Old Testament text.

    The Lord‘s Chosen Servant

    42 Behold my servant, whom I uphold,
        my chosen, in whom my soul delights;
    I have put my Spirit upon him;
        he will bring forth justice to the nations.
    He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,
        or make it heard in the street;
    a bruised reed he will not break,
        and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
        he will faithfully bring forth justice.
    He will not grow faint or be discouraged[a]
        till he has established justice in the earth;
        and the coastlands wait for his law.

  2. Lyrics for Worship on the Lawn 11/8/20

    Here for You

    Let our praise be Your welcome
    Let our songs be a sign
    We are here for You, We are here for You
    Let Your breath come from heaven
    Fill our hearts with Your life
    We are here for You, We are here for You

    To You our hearts are open, Nothing here is hidden
    You are our one desire, You alone are holy
    Only You are worthy, God let Your fire fall down

    Let our shout be Your anthem, Your renown fill the sky
    We are here for You, We are here for You
    Let Your Word move in power, Let what’s dead come to life
    We are here for You, We are here for You

    We welcome You with praise, We welcome You with praise
    Almighty God of love, Be welcome in this place
    Let every heart adore, Let every soul awake
    Almighty God of love, Be welcome in this place

     

    To Our God

    Up from the ashes Your love has brought us
    Out of the darkness into the light
    Lifting our sorrows
    Bearing our burdens healing our hearts

    To our God we lift up one voice,
    To our God we lift up one song
    To our God we lift up one voice
    Singing Hallelujah

    Chains have been broken eyes have been opened
    An army of dry bones is starting to rise
    Death is defeated
    We are victorious for You are alive

    We’ll make His praise glorious, glorious, glorious
    For His name is glorious, glorious, glorious
    Make His praise glorious, glorious, glorious
    Shout His name glorious, glorious, glorious

     

    You Are My King

    I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
    I’m accepted You were condemned
    I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
    Because You died and rose again

    Amazing love, How can it be
    That You my king would die for me
    Amazing love, and I know it’s true
    It’s my joy to honor you
    In all I do I honor You

    You are my King (4x)

     
    King Of My Heart

    Let the King of my heart
    Be the mountain where I run
    The fountain I drink from
    Oh, He is my song

    You are good, good, oh (4X)

    Let the King of my heart
    Be the wind inside my sails
    The anchor in the waves
    Oh, He is my song
    Let the King of my heart
    Be the fire inside my veins
    The echo of my days
    Oh, He is my song

    You are good, good, oh (4X)

    You’re never gonna let, Never gonna let me down (4X)

    O Jesus you’re the same, yesterday, today, forever
    Your faithfulness remains, and Your love endures forever

     

    Ever Be

    Your love is devoted like a ring of solid gold
    Like a vow that is tested like a covenant of old
    And Your love is enduring through the winter rain
    And beyond the horizon with mercy for today

    Faithful You have been and faithful You will be
    You pledge Yourself to me and it’s why I sing

    Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips (4X)

    You Father the orphan, Your kindness makes us whole
    And You shoulder our weakness, And Your strength becomes our own
    Now You’re making me like You, Clothing me in white
    Bringing beauty from ashes, For You will have Your bride

    Free of all her guilt and rid of all her shame
    And known by her true name and it’s why I sing

    You will be praised, You will be praised, With angels and saints we sing “worthy are You Lord” (2X)

  3. The Passover Origin Story: The Price of Freedom is costly

    Our Freedom is Costly, Sudden, A Life-Long Pilgrimage

    Exodus 12:1-13

    12 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.[a]

    “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts. 10 And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn. 11 In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover. 12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. 13 The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.

  4. Lyrics for Worship on the Lawn 11/1/20

    Build Your Kingdom Here

    Come set Your rule and reign, In our hearts again
    Increase in us we pray, Unveil why we’re made
    Come set our hearts ablaze with hope

    Like wildfire in our very souls, Holy Spirit come invade us now
    We are Your church, We need Your pow’r in us

    We seek Your kingdom first, We hunger and we thirst
    Refuse to waste our lives, For You’re our joy and prize
    To see the captives’ hearts released, The hurt the sick the poor at peace
    We lay down our lives for heaven’s cause
    We are Your church, We pray revive this earth

    Build Your kingdom here, Let the darkness fear
    Show Your mighty hand, Heal our streets and land
    Set Your church on fire, Win this nation back
    Change the atmosphere, Build Your kingdom here we pray

    Unleash Your kingdom’s pow’r, Reaching the near and far
    No force of hell can stop, Your beauty changing hearts
    You made us for much more than this, Awake the kingdom seed in us
    Fill us with the strength and love of Christ
    We are Your church, We are the hope on earth

      

    Glory

    Great is the Lord God almighty, Great is the Lord on high
    The train of His robe fills the temple, And we cry out highest praise

    Glory to the risen King
    Glory to the Son
    Glorious Son

    Lift up your hands, Open the doors
    Let the King of glory come in, And forever be our God

    Holy is the Lord God almighty, Holy is the Lord on high
    Let all the earth bow before You and crown You Lord of all

     

    Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble

    Did you feel the mountains tremble, Did you hear the oceans roar
    When the people rose to sing of Jesus Christ the risen one

    Did you feel the people tremble, Did you hear the singers roar
    When the lost began to sing of Jesus Christ, the saving one

    And we can see that, God, You’re moving, A mighty river through the nations
    When young and old return to Jesus
    Fling wide, you heavenly gates, Prepare the way of the risen Lord

    Open up the doors and let the music play, Let the streets resound with singing
    Songs that bring Your hope, Songs that bring Your joy
    Dancers who dance upon injustice

    Do you feel the darkness tremble, When all the saints join in one song
    And all the streams flow as one river to wash away our brokenness

    And here we see that, God, You’re moving, A time of jubilee is coming
    When young and old return to Jesus
    Fling wide, you heavenly gates, Prepare the way of the risen Lord

      

    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 throughout the universe displayed

    Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
    How great Thou art, how great Thou art
    Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
    How great Thou art, how great Thou art

    And when I think of 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

    When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,, And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart
    Then I shall bow with humble adoration, And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

     

    You Hem Me In

    You hem me in, behind and before me
    You know me well, You’ve laid Your hand upon me
    Such knowledge is too great for me to comprehend, Your love surrounding me
    You hem me in

    Before my birth in my mother’s womb You formed me
    How precious and how vast Your thoughts about me
    No matter where I go I can’t escape Your love, Your love pursuing me,
    You hem me in

    Where can I go from your Spirit, How can I hide from your presence
    Where can I go from your Spirit, How can I hide from your presence

    I praise You for I’m fearfully and wonderfully made
    I praise You, my Creator, my Redeemer

    I praise You, for Your works, O God, are wonderful indeed
    I will proclaim Your love and faithfulness

  5. Responsibilities in Suffering: 1 Peter-Part 3

    1 Peter 4:12-19

    12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory[b] and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And

    “If the righteous is scarcely saved,
    what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[
    c]

    19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

    1 Peter 5:1-14

    So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,[a] not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;[b] not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

    Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

    Final Greetings

    12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. 13 She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. 14 Greet one another with the kiss of love.

    Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

  6. Lyrics for Worship on the Lawn 10/25/20

    Surely Goodness and Mercy

    You prepare a table before me, in the presence of my enemies
    You anoint my head with oil, and my cup, it overflows

    With love, peace, and joy (2x)

    Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
    All the days of my life, all the days of my life
    And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    Forever, forever, forever, amen; Forever, forever, forever, amen

     

    Shout to the Lord

    My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like You
    All of my days I want to praise the wonders of Your mighty love.
    My comfort, my Shelter, Tower of refuge and strength
    Let ev’ry breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You

    Shout to the Lord all the earth let us sing, power and majesty, praise to the King
    Mountains bow down and the seas will roar, at the sound of Your name
    I sing for joy at the work of Your hands, forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand
    Nothing compares to the promise I have in You

    Nothing compares to the promise I have (x3) – In you

     

    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 night
    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

     

    Build My Life

    Worthy of ev’ry song we could ever sing
    Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
    Worthy of ev’ry breath we could ever breathe
    We live for You

    Jesus, the name above ev’ry other name
    Jesus, the only one who could ever save
    Worthy of ev’ry breath we could ever breathe
    We live for You
    We live for You

    Holy, there is no one like You
    There is none beside You
    Open up my eyes in wonder and show me who You are
    And fill me with Your heart
    And lead me in Your love to those around me

    I will build my life upon Your love
    It is a firm foundation
    I will put my trust in You alone
    And I will not be shaken

      

    Worthy Of It All

    All the saints and angels
    They bow before Your throne
    All the elders cast their crowns
    Before the Lamb of God and sing

    You are worthy of it all
    You are worthy of it all
    For from You are all things
    And to You are all things
    You deserve the glory

    Singing oh oh oh oh oh

    Day and night, night and day let incense arise
    Day and night, night and day let incense arise
    Day and night, night and day let incense arise
    Day and night, night and day let incense arise

    Oh oh oh oh
