WE’VE COME THIS FAR BY FAITH

 

We’ve come this far by faith, leaning on the Lord,
Trusting in His holy Word, He's never failed me yet.
Oh, oh, oh, can't turn a-round,
We've come this far by faith. 

 

Just the other day, I heard a man say
He didn't believe in God's -Word,
But I can truly say that I have found the way,
And He's never failed me yet.  

 

Don't be discouraged
When troubles come your way.
He'll bear all your burdens,
And turn all your night into day. 

 

HE HAS DONE GREAT THINGS

 

He has done great things for me  

Great things, great things  

He has done great things for me

He has made a way for me 

Made a way, made a way 

He has made a way for me 

 

He will give you victory 

Victory, victory 

He will give you victory
  

I’m gonna be a witness for Him  

Witness, witness  

I’m gonna be a witness for Him  

  

I’m gonna let my little light shine  

Shine, shine  

I’m gonna let my little light shine 

 

HERE I AM TO WORSHIP 

 

Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness 

Open my eyes, let me see 

Beauty that made this heart adore You 

Hope for a life spent with Thee 

 

Here I am to worship 

Here I am to bow down 

Here I am to say that You’re my God 

You’re altogether lovely 

Altogether worthy, 

Altogether wonderful to me 

 

King of all days, O so highly exalted 

Glorious in heaven above 

Humbly You came to the earth You created 

All for love’s sake became poor 

 

I’ll never know how much it cost 

To see my sin upon that cross  

 

WAY MAKER

You are here, moving in our midst
I worship You, I worship You
You are here, working in this place
I worship You, I worship You
(2x)

 

CHORUS
Way maker, Miracle worker, Promise Keeper
Light in the darkness, my God
That is who You are
(2x)

You are here, touching every heart
I worship You, I worship You
You are here, healing every heart
I worship You, I worship You
You are here, turning lives around
I worship You, I worship You
You are here, mending every heart
I worship You, I worship You

REPEAT CHORUS


That is who You are
(8x)

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

VAMP
Even when I don't see it, You're working
Even when I don't feel it, You're working
You never stop, You never stop working
You never stop, You never stop working

 

THE CENTER OF MY JOY

 

Jesus, you're the center of my joy
All that's good and perfect comes from you
You're the heart of my contentment, hope for all I do

Jesus, you're the center of my joy

 

When I've lost my direction, you're the compass for my way
You're the fire and light when nights are long and cold
In sadness, you are the laughter, that shatters all my fears

When I'm all alone, your hand is there to hold, ohh

 

Jesus, you're the center of my joy
All that's good and perfect comes from you
You're the heart of my contentment, hope for all I do

Jesus, you're the center of my joy

 

You are why I find pleasure in the simple things in life
You're the music in the meadows and the streams
The voices of the children, my family, and my home

You're the source and finish of my highest dreams, woah

 

Jesus, you're the center of my joy
All that's good and perfect comes from you

You're the heart of my contentment, hope for all I do

 

VAMP

Jesus (Jesus), you are (you are) the center (the center) of my joy

 

Woah, of my joy!

I GIVE MYSELF AWAY

 

I give myself away.  I give myself away so You can use me 

I give myself away.  I give myself away so You can use me 

 

Here I am, here I stand 

Lord, my life is in your hands 

Lord, I'm longing to see 

Your desires revealed in me 

 

Take my heart, take my life 

As a living sacrifice 

All my dreams all my plans 

Lord I place them in your hands 

 

My life is not my own 

To you I belong 

I give myself, I give myself to you

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.

But I can truly say that I have found the way,
And He's never failed me yet.  

 

Don't be discouraged
When troubles come your way.
He'll bear all your burdens,
And turn all your night into day.

Humbly You came to the earth You created 

All for love’s sake became poor

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.

“FIRESIDE CHAT” QUESTIONS

 

Questions
1. Have you, at any time, reasoned as Asaph did, "What is the good of
keeping your heart pure?"

2. What actions could you take if/when you find yourself doubting the
goodness of God?

3. In what ways did Asaph repent of his false doctrine?

4.  What spiritual gift(s) do you utilize to help you guard your heart?

5. In what ways are you helping others to maintain a pure heart?
