Chorus:
[All] As soon as I stop worrying
Worrying how the story ends
I let go and I let God
Let God have His way
That's when things start happening
I stopped looking at back then
I let go and I let God have his way
Let God have his way
Vamp:
Let go, let God
Let go, and let God
Let go, let God
Let go, and let God
Chorus:
As soon as I stop worrying
Worrying how the story ends
I let go and I let God
Let God have His way
That's when things start happening
When I stopped looking at back then
I let go and I let God
Let God have his way!
THE STORM IS PASSING OVER
O courage my soul and let us journey on
For the night is dark and I am far from home
Thanks be to God, the morning light appears
The storm is passing over
The storm is passing over
The storm is passing over, Hallelu!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The storm is passing over
The storm is passing over
The storm is passing over, Hallelu!
THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU
There is none like You
No one else can touch my heart like You do
I could search for all eternity Lord
And find there is none like You
salvation.

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.

3.Why is "refusing to worry" harder said than done?
4.Worry is unreasonable, irrational , unnatural, unnecessary , and illogical, but why do we still do it?
5.What does total Praise have to do with anything ?
