SHACKLES
Chorus:
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just want to praise you
I just want to praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you
Verse:
[Lead] In the corners of mind, I just can't seem to find,
a reason to believe, that I can break free
Cause you see, I have been...
down for so long, feel like all hope is gone
But as I lift my hands, I understand, that I should,
praise you through my circumstance
Chorus:
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (I can dance)
I just want to praise you (I just want to praise you)
I just want to praise you (I just want to praise you)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you
Verse:
[Lead] Everything that could go wrong
All went wrong at one time,
So much pressure fell on me
I thought I was gon' lose my mind,
But I know you want to see
If I will hold on through these trials,
But I need you to lift this load
Cause I can't take it no more,
Chorus:
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (I can dance)
I just want to praise you (I just want to praise you)
I just want to praise you (I just want to praise you)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you
Bridge:
[Lead] Been through the fire and the rain
Bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain
So let me go right now
Chorus: [Repeat x3]
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (I can dance)
I just want to praise you (I just want to praise you)
I just want to praise you (I just want to praise you)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you [repeat]

LORD I’M AVAILABLE TO YOU
Verse:
You gave me my hands, to reach out to man
To show him your love, and your perfect plan
You gave me my ears, I can hear your voice so clear
I can hear the cries of sinners, but can I wipe away their tears?
Verse:
You gave me my voice, to speak your Word
To sing all your praises, to those who've never heard
But with my eyes I see Your need, for more availability
I see hearts that have been broken, so many people to be freed.

My will I give to You, I'll do what You say do
Use me Lord, To show someone the way,

My storage is empty, and I am available to You
Verse:
Now I'm giving back to You, all the tools You gave to me,
My hands, my ears, my voice, my eyes; so You can use them as You please.
I have emptied out my cup, So that You can fill me up
Now I'm free, and I just want to be, more available to You.
Chorus:
Lord I'm available to You,
My will I give to You, I'll do what You say do
Use me Lord, To show someone the way,
and enable me to say

TAKE IT TO THE LORD IN PRAYER
Verse:
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege it is to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?

He is still our ref-uge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Refrain:
Some things we have not
Because we ask not
When we have a friend who's there

We should never be discouraged
When we take it to the Lord in prayer

Some things we have not
Because we ask not
When we have a friend who cares

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
Oh what peace we often forfeit

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain

Take it to the Lord in prayer

You look so much better when you smile, so smile.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT STUDY: NEW BOOK OF STUDY
Starting Wednesday, May 17th, we will commence 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 in his time 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.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT STUDY: NEW BOOK OF STUDY
Starting Wednesday, May 17th, we will commence 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 in his time 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.
