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, oh, oh, oh, can’t
turn around.
We've come this far by faith.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS /
VICTORY IS MINE
In the name of Jesus, in the na
me of Jesus
We have the victory
In the name of Jesus, in the na
me of Jesus
Satan will have to flee
 
Tell me who can stand before
us
When we call on that
great name
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
We have the victory
Victory is mine, victory is
mine 
Victory today is mine 
I told Satan get thee behind 
Victory today is mine 
Peace is mine . . . 
Joy is mine . . . 

Jesus is mine . . . 

EXPECT A MIRACLE
Chorus:
I'm Looking for a miracle
I expect the impossible
I feel the intangible &
I see the invisible
Bridge:
The Sky is the limit to what I
can
have
Just believe and receive it
God will perform it today
Hey, Hey, Hey
Just believe and receive it
God will perform it today
Vamp:
I expect a miracle every day,
God will make a way out of no
way.
Refrain:
Just believe and receive it
God will perform it today
Hey, Hey, Hey

Just believe and receive it
God will perform it to-day!

LET GO LET GOD
Verse:
[Lead] I couldn't seem to fall
asleep
There was so much on my
mind
Searching for that peace
But the peace I could not find
So then I kneeled down to pray
Praying help me please
But then he said you don't have
to cry
'Cause I'll supply all your
needs
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
When I stopped looking at
back then
I let go and I let God
Let God have his way
Verse:
[Lead] There’s so much going
on

Sometimes I can't find my way
And often times I struggle
Struggle from day to day
I have to realize that it's not my
battle
It's not my battle to fight
I have to know if I put it in
your hands
That everything will be alright
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!

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

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

the scene. Join us Wednesday nights at 7:30 pm.
