  1. Lyrics for Worship on the Lawn 9/13

    Ten Thousand Reasons

    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

    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

     

    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

     

    What A Beautiful Name

    You were the Word at the beginning, One with God the Lord Most High

    Your hidden glory in creation, Now revealed in You our Christ

     

    What a beautiful name it is, what a beautiful name it is;

    The Name of Jesus Christ my King

    What a beautiful Name it is, nothing compares to this

    What a beautiful Name it is, the Name of Jesus

     

    You didn’t want heaven without us, So Jesus You brought heaven down

    My sins were great, Your love was greater; What could separate us now

     What a wonderful Name it is…

    Death could not hold You, The veil tore before You, You silenced the boast of sin and grave

    The heavens are roaring the praise of Your glory, For you are raised to life again

    You have no rival, You have no equal, Now and forever God You reign

    Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the glory, Yours is the Name above all names!

     What a powerful name it is…

     

    Lord, Take Our Children

    Lord, take our children, Lord, give them freedom, Lord, send Your Spirit upon them (2X)

    Like arrows from a mighty warrior, Like arrows flaming in the darkness

    Send Your Light into the night, May Jesus Christ be glorified

    In our children,  through our children

     

    One Thing

    One thing, one thing I desire, To dwell and to inquire, In Your holy place

    One thing, this one thing I seek, A time and place to meet, And see you face to face

    One__ thing__ I desire, To dwell in the house of the Lord, All the days of my life

    To behold Your beauty, Lord, To know and love You more and more

    It’s what I’ve been created for, This one thing

    To lean upon the One I love, Safely resting in Your arms, Set Your seal upon my heart

    I desire, this one thing

     

    Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

    Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation

    O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation

    All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near, Praise Him in glad adoration

     

    Praise to the Lord, Who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth

    Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth

    Hast thou not seen all that his people have been, Granted in what He ordaineth

     

    Praise to the Lord, Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee

    Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee

    Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, If with His love He befriend thee

     

    Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him,

    All that hath life and breath, Come now with praises before Him

    Let the “Amen” sound from His people again, Gladly forever adore Him

    Hallelujah,  hallelujah,  hallelujah,  hallelujah

     

    Lord Take My Life

    Lord, take my life.  Make it Your home, Lord live through me for I am not my own

    Bought with a price The blood of Your Son, Nothing I’ve earned, but by Your grace I come.

    Lord take my heart, Make it Your throne, Lord reign in me for I am not my own

    (*Lord live through me for I am not my own)

  2. Imagine Heaven Part One: Top of Your Game, No Sickness, No Sin, No Suffering, Sharing Meals, A Resurrected Body

     

    1 John 3:2 – Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears[a] we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

    John 20:15-16 – 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

    Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic,[a]“Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).

    John 20:26 –  Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

    John 20:29 –Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

    John 20:27-8 – 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.”28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

    1 Corinthians 15:50 – I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

  3. Lyrics for Worship on the Lawn 9/6

    Our Great God

    Eternal God, unchanging, mysterious and unknown

    Your boundless love unfailing in grace and mercy shown

    Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight around Your glorious throne

    They raise their voices day and night in praise to You alone

    Hallelujah!  Glory be to our great God!  Hallelujah!  Glory be to our great God!

    Lord, we are weak and frail, helpless in the storm

    Surround us with Your angels. Hold us in Your arms

    Our cold and ruthless enemy, his pleasure is our harm

    Rise up, O Lord and He will flee before our Sovereign God

    For this the Father sent His Son. For this our Savior came

    To put an end to Satan’s works, God’s Kingdom here to bring

    He bore our sins upon the cross.  He died, and rose to save

    We have no fear of death or hell, Christ triumphed o’er the grave!

    Let every creature in the sea and every flying bird

    Let every mountain, every field and valley of the earth

    Let all the moons and all the stars in all the universe

    Sing praises to the living God Who rules them by His Word

    More Love, More Power

    More love, more power; More of You in my life (2X)
    And I will worship You, with all of my heart; I will worship You, with all of my mind
    I will worship You, with all of my strength; For You are my Lord (2X)

    Lord, Take Our Children

    Lord, take our children; Lord, give them freedom; Lord, send Your Spirit upon them (2X)

    Like arrows from a mighty warrior; Like arrows flaming in the darkness

    Send Your Light…into the night; May Jesus Christ be glorified

    In our children,  through our children

    Men Of Faith Rise Up And Sing

    Men of faith rise up and sing; Of the great and glorious King

    You are strong when you feel weak; In your brokenness complete

    Shout to the North and the South; Sing to the East and the West;

    Jesus is Savior to all; Lord of heaven and earth

    Rise up women of the truth; Stand and sing to broken hearts
    Who can know the healing power; Of our awesome King of love

    We will shout to the North and the South; Sing to the East and the West
    Jesus is Savior to all; Lord of heaven and earth

    We’ve been through fire, we’ve been through rain; We’ve been refined by the power of His name
    We’ve fallen deeper in love with You; You’ve burned the truth on our lips

    Rise up church with broken wings; Fill this place with songs again
    Of our God who reigns on high; By His grace again we’ll fly

    His Mercy is More

    What love could remember no wrongs we have done

    Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum
    Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore; Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

    Praise the Lord, His mercy is more; Stronger than darkness, new every morn
    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

    What patience would wait as we constantly roam; What Father, so tender, is calling us home
    He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor; Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

    What riches of kindness He lavished on us; His blood was the payment, His life was the cost
    We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford; Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

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

  4. Teach Sound Doctrine. There is One Source of Life. It’s Christ.  Christ is life for a broken world. Titus 3 – Summation of Titus

    Christ is life for a broken world. (ESV)

    Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

    Elders must care for and make sure the church stays unified and protected from the accusers and teachers of false doctrine.

    Titus 1:5 Qualifications for Elders – This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I.

    Titus 3:1-3 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.

    One thing, one thing I desire; To dwell and to inquire; In Your holy place

    One thing, this one thing I seek; A time and place to meet; And see you face to face

    One__ thing__ I desire; To dwell in the house of the Lord; All the days of my life

    To behold Your beauty, Lord; To know and love You more and more

    It’s what I’ve been created for; This one thing

    To lean upon the One I love; Safely resting in Your arms; Set Your seal upon my heart

    I desire; this one thing

    Better Is One Day

    How lovely is Your dwelling place, O 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 (2X)

    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, To you…

    O Come to the Altar

    Are you hurting and broken within; Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin,

    Jesus is calling

    Have you come to the end of yourself; Do you thirst for a drink from the well,

    Jesus is calling

    O come to the altar; The Father’s arms are open wide

    Forgiveness was bought with; The precious blood of Jesus Christ

    Leave behind your regrets and mistakes; Come today, there’s no reason to wait,

    Jesus is calling

    Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy; From the ashes a new life is born,

    Jesus is calling

    Oh what a Savior!  Isn’t He wonderful!     Sing alleluia, Christ is risen.

    Bow down before Him, For He is Lord of all; Sing alleluia, Christ is risen

    Kadosh

    Kadosh kadosh kadosh;Kadosh kadosh kadosh
    Adonai Elohim tz’va’ot; Adonai Elohim tz’va’ot

    Holy holy holy;Holy holy holy
    O Lord our God Lord of hosts; O Lord our God Lord of hosts

    Who was and Who is; And Who is to come
    Who was and Who is; And Who is to come

    Asher hayah; V’hoveh v’yavo; Asher hayah; V’hoveh v’yavo

    Who was and Who is; And Who is to come
    Who was and Who is; And Who is to come

    Gracious Lord

    Your Grace has been my strength; when I am weakest

    And when I’m wounded, Lord, Your grace heals all my brokenness

    When I’ve fallen down, I feel Your gentle, loving hand

    And I know it’s Your grace by which I stand

    Gracious Lord, God of all compassion;

    You have poured your kindness over me

    O my Lord, Jesus by Your mercy;

    I bow down and worship at Your feet;

    Gracious Lord

    The Beauty of Your presence overwhelms me

    You are clothed in power and reign in perfect purity

    All that I possess as an offering I raise

    To the Lamb and the praise of His glorious grace
