We exalt Thee, we exalt Thee
We exalt Thee, O Lord! 

 

GLORY TO GLORY

 

Glory to glory to glory to glory to glory to glory to God

 

To the only God, our Savior
Be majesty dominion and power
Forever and ever and ever
Be glorified

Let the people praise Him, rejoice in all his goodness
And be thankful for all he has done
Tell the generations from the mountains to the valley
By His spirit the victory is won

For the Lord is worthy to be praised
His hand of salvation redeems us this hour
so Lord beyond the balance of our days
Be glory and honor, Dominion and power

STAND

 

What do you do when you've done all you can
And it seems like it's never enough?
And what do you say
When your friends turn away
And you're all alone, alone?

Tell me, what do you give when you've given your all
And it seems like you can't make it through?
Well, you just stand when there's nothing left to do
You just stand, watch the Lord see you through
Yes, after you've done all you can
You just stand

Tell me, how do you handle the guilt of your past?
Tell me, how do you deal with the shame?
And how can you smile while your heart has been broken
And filled with pain, filled with pain?

Tell me what do you give when you've given your all?
Seems like you can't make it through
Child, you just stand when there's nothing left to do
You just stand, watch the Lord see you through
Yes, after you've done all you can
You just stand

Stand and be sure
Be not entangled in that bondage again
You just stand and endure
God has a purpose
Yes, god has a plan

Tell me what do you do when you've done all you can
And it seems like you can't make it through?
Child, you just stand, you just stand, stand

Don't you dare give up through the storm
Stand through the rain
Through the hurt
Yeah, through the pain
Don't you bow, and don't you bend
Don't give up, no, don't give in
Hold on
Just be strong
God will step in
And it won't be long

After you've done all you can, after you've done all you can
After you've gone through the hurt
After you've gone through the pain
After you've gone through the storm
After you've gone through the rain
Prayed and cried
Prayed and cried
Prayed and cried
Prayed and cried, oh my

After you've done all you can you just stand

Join Pastor Lloyd for Wednesday in the Word

We are studying the book of II 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.
