I will rejoice, I will rejoice
and be glad in it, and be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day, this is the day
that the Lord has made
I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart
I will enter His courts with praise
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice for He has made me glad
He has made me glad, He has made me glad
I will rejoice for He has made me glad
He has made me glad, He has made me glad
I will rejoice for He has made me glad
O magnify the Lord for He is worthy to be praised
O magnify the Lord for He is worthy to be praised
Hosanna! Blessed be the rock
Blessed be the rock of my salvation
Hosanna! Blessed be the rock
Blessed be the rock of my salvation
I LOVE YOU LORD
I love You Lord and I lift my voice
To worship You, O my soul rejoice
Take joy my King in what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear
We exalt Thee, we exalt Thee
We exalt Thee, O Lord!
We exalt Thee, we exalt Thee
We exalt Thee, O Lord!
I AM ON THE BATTLEFIELD
Refrain:
I am on the battlefield for my Lord,
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord;
And I promised Him that I would serve Him till I die.
I am on the battlefield for my Lord.
I was alone and idle,
I was a sinner too,
I heard a voice from heaven
Say there is work to do,
I took the Master's hand,
And I joined the Christian band,
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord. [Refrain]
I left my friends and kindred
Bound for the Promised Land,
The grace of God upon me,
The Bible in my hand,
In distant lands I trod,
Crying, sinner, come to God,
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord. [Refrain]
Now when I met my Savior,
I met Him with a smile,
He healed my wounded spirit,
And owned me as His child,
Around the throne of grace,
He appoints my soul a place,
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord. (Refrain)
I WILL TRUST IN THE LORD
I will trust in the Lord
I will trust in the Lord
I will trust in the Lord ‘til I die
I will trust in the Lord
I will trust in the Lord
I will trust in the Lord ‘til I die
I’m going to treat everybody right . . .
I’m going to watch, fight and pray . . .
I’m going to stay on bended knee . . .
THE BLOOD WILL NEVER LOSE ITS POWER
The blood that Jesus shed for me
Way back on Calvary
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It soothes my doubts and calms my fears
And it dries all my tears
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power.
Church Theme 2023
“Year of Miraculous Outpouring & Majestic Praise”
Exodus 15:6 , 11; Psalm 8:1; Psalm 29:4; Psalm 111:3; 2 Peter 1:17; Psalm 77:4
Matthew 11:20-2; Acts 19:11; Acts 12:28; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Hebrews 2:4
God is doing a new thing and taking us to a new level. He calls us to seek Him and will do miracles in our midst. This year we are praying for miracles in our lives, the lives of our families, and our Church family. As we pray and seek His face, we are going to give God Majestic Praise along the way. The songwriters said: I seek a miracle every day and I want to Praise Him.
MONDAY MORNINGS WITH THE PASTOR

Access Code: 702588#.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT STUDY: NEW BOOK OF STUDY
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.
