HERO
Everyone counted me out
Everyone forgot my name
But You never gave up on me
Even when I was ashamed
I was always in the plan
I've always been in Your hand
I've never been in a fight
that You couldn't win
Undisputed, undefeated
Reigning champion, You are the hero to me
None can match You, Who would try to
You're triumphant, You are the hero
My back was against the rope
They thought I would throw in the towel
Even I gave up hope
But I felt Your power somehow
Against all odds, that's when I called out Your name
You heard the sound of my voice
And that's when You came
Undisputed, undefeated
Reigning champion, You are the hero to me
None can match You, Who would try to
You're triumphant, You are my hero
You conquered death and the grave (There's nothing too hard for You)
Demons tremble at Your name
On the third day you rose with all power in Your hand
Power to heal, power to save, power to win!
VAMP
Undisputed, undefeated
Reigning champion, You are the hero to me
None can match You, Who would try to
You're triumphant, You are the hero
Undisputed (undisputed) undefeated (undefeated)
Reigning champion, You are the hero to me
None can match You (None can match You), Who would try to (Who would try to)
You're triumphant, You are the hero
BECAUSE HE LIVES
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy He gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
And then one day, I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
THE BLOOD OF JESUS
I know it was the blood that saved my soul
I know it was the blood that made me whole
I know it was the blood that covered me
I know it was the blood that set me free
The blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
It's because of Your love that I am free
I am walking in Love and victory
By You stripes I am healed
And Your power is real to me
The blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus

Join Pastor Lloyd for Wednesday in the Word
Since Wednesday, May 17th, we have started the study of 1 Kings. The study picks up with David making Solomon king to succeed him on the throne. Solomon had mixed results, with his wealth and wisdom being known worldwide. He built palaces and cities, and a beautiful temple. -The house of the Lord did not match. But while on the throne, he also allowed idol worship to creep into the kingdom. And after his death, a civil war tore the nation in two. Successive kings were mainly terrible, and the prophet Elijah had dramatic confrontations with King Ahab, who could forget Jezebel on the scene. Join us Wednesday nights at 7:30 pm.
