GREAT IS YOUR MERCY
Great is Your mercy towards me
Your love and kindness towards me
Your tender mercy, I see
Day after day
Forever faithful towards me
Always providing for me
Great is Your mercy towards me
Great is Your grace
NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE IT
Never would have made it
Never could have made it, without You
I would have lost it all
But now I see how You were there for me
And I can say
(repeat)
I'm stronger, I'm wiser
I'm better, much better
When I look back over all You brought me through
I can see that You were the one I held on to
And I never, never would have made it
REPEAT CHORUS
I am stronger, I am stronger
I am wiser, now I'm better
So much better
I made it through my storm
And my test because You were there
To carry me through my mess
I am stronger, I am stronger
I am wiser, now I'm better
So much better
I made it, I made it
I made it, I made it
I made it, I made it
I made it, I made it
REPEAT CHORUS
I SURRENDER ALL
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him
In His presence daily live
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all
All to Jesus I surrender
Humbly at His feet I bow
Worldly pleasures all forsaken
Take me, Jesus, take me now
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all
All to Jesus I surrender
Make me Savior wholly thine
May Thy Holy Spirit fill me
May I know Thy power divine
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all
HE'S ABLE
Exceedingly, abundantly, above all you could ask or think
According to the power that works in you
God is able to do just what He said He would do
He's gonna fulfill every promise for you
Don't give up on God, 'cause He won't give up on you
He's able!
He's able!
VAMP 1
Whoa - oh - oh - oh - He's able!
VAMP 2
He's able!

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.

Message from Pastor Lloyd:
We have once again come into the winter months and a rise of not only Covid, but RSV, pneumonia, Flu and other respiratory viruses. It is important to not only be safe, but to help others around you to be safe. Some helpful tips:
1. Take charge of your own health and take measures to be preventive for yourself and others.
2. Keep in contact with your primary health care provider and follow instructions. If you are sick, we recommend you stay home and join us online for Bible study and worship.
3. Get vaccinated as your primary care doctor recommends, and get proper rest, exercise, and maintain a healthy diet.
4. Frequent washing of hands is recommended and avoid touching your eyes and mouth as these are contact points for spreading germs.
5. A s you arrive, ushers will assist you in your seating preference.
