THIS IS THE DAY


This is the day, this is the day 

that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made

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.

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.

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.
