GOD IS IN CONTROL

This is no time for fear
This is a time for faith and determination
Don't lose the vision here
Carried away by emotion
Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together

God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
Oh oh oh God is in control, oh God is in control

History marches on
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh, but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever

God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
Oh oh oh God is in control, oh God is in control

He has never let you down
Why start to worry now? Why start to worry now?
He is still the Lord of all we see
And He is still the loving Father
Watching over you and me

watching over you...watching over me..
watching over every thing..
watching over you..watching over me..
every little sparrow..every little thing...

God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
Oh oh oh God is in control, oh God is in control

GOD IS IN CONTROL

GOD IS WATCHING OVER YOU

He sees you down by the water line
Know what you're thinking all the time
He sees the rising of the waves
When the tide starts rolling in
He lets you know it's gonna be o.k.

He sees you dancing in the moonlight
His arms around you hold ya tight
And if those clouds should start to break
He'll be standing out in the rain with you
And though it's hard to believe
He believes in you

God is watching over you
As always
You are loved
Whatever you go through
He's right beside you
God is watching over you
As always
And if you think He'll ever leave you
You better think again

Painted in the sky a rainbow to remind you
Nothing that is broken
Cannot be made new
He knows when ya feel so far away
He's gonna keep the night light on
He's waiting there, there to receive you

God is watching over you
As always
You are loved
Whatever you go through
He's right beside you
God is watching over you
As always
And if you think He'll ever leave you
You better think again

Through fire, through wind and through rain
Yesterday, today and tomorrow the same
Nothing here can take this love
Nothing you could do will break this love
Climb a tree, gonna reach so high
Swing low sweet chariot
It's time to fly

And if you think He'll ever leave you
You better think again

God is watching over you
As always
You are loved
Whatever you go through
He's right beside you
God is watching over you
As always
And if you think He'll ever leave you
You better think again

God is watching over you
As always
You are loved
Whatever you go through
He's right beside you
God is watching over you
As always
And if you think He'll ever leave you
You better think again

He sees you down by the water line

HOW GREAT THOU ART

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!

And when I think that God His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die - I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home - what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed his own blood for my soul.

It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

SING OUT

Sing out, The Lord is near
Build Him a temple here
A palace of praise
A throne of thanksgiving
Made for the king of kings

Sing out, a joyful song
His love goes on and on
When praises abound
His glory surrounds us
Building His temple here
Sing out the Lord is near

The Lord inhabits the song of His saints
And lives in their praises
The Lord inhabits the song of his saints
And lives in their praises

Sing out, The Lord is near
Build Him a temple here
A palace of praise
A throne of thanksgiving
Made for the king of kings

Sing out, a joyful song
His love goes on and on
When praises abound
His glory surrounds us
Building His temple here
Sing out the Lord is near

We come to worship together as one
With music and singing
Rejoice in all that the Father has done
Let's lift up an offering

Sing out, The Lord is near
Build Him a temple here
A palace of praise
A throne of thanksgiving
Made for the king of kings

Sing out, a joyful song
His love goes on and on
When praises abound
His glory surrounds us
Building His temple here
Sing out the Lord is near

ALL PRAISE TO OUR REDEEMING LORD

All praise to our redeeming Lord,
Who joins us by His grace;
And bids us, each to each restored,
Together seek His face.

He bids us build each other up;
And, gathered into one,
To our high calling’s glorious hope,
We hand in hand go on.

The gift which He on one bestows,
We all delight to prove;
The grace through every vessel flows,
In purest streams of love.

E’en now we think and speak the same,
And cordially agree;
Concentered all, through Jesus’ Name,
In perfect harmony.

We all partake the joy of one;
The common peace we feel;
A peace to sensual minds unknown,
A joy unspeakable.

And if our fellowship below
In Jesus be so sweet,
What height of rapture shall we know
When round His throne we meet!

Words: Charles Wesley

COME, THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Sorrowing I shall be in spirit,
Till released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do inherit,
Here Thy praises I’ll begin;
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood;
How His kindness yet pursues me
Mortal tongue can never tell,
Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me
I cannot proclaim it well.

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

O that day when freed from sinning,
I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day.

THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

As I walk on a winters night
The snow is falling down.
There’s decorated Christmas lights
On every street in town
At the Mall all the signs say sale,
There’s trees and mistletoe
And for a moment I forget
What all the world should know.

Chorus
That the reason for the season,…isn’t lights or gifts we gain.
It isn’t Santa, wreaths, or stockings,…or trees or candy canes
Oh the Reason for the Season, Is for God so loved he gave,
His one and only son,…. So that I'd be saved.

As I walk past some office lights,
There’s parties all around.
We celebrate, yet miss the point,
Of what it’s all about.
And I think how could I forget,
With all the sins I’ve sown.
This baby child’s the greatest gift,
The world has ever known.

Chorus
That the reason for the season,…isn’t lights or gifts we gain.
It isn’t Santa, wreaths, or stockings,…or trees or candy canes
Oh the Reason for the Season, Is for God so loved he gave,
His one and only son,…. So that I'd be saved.

Will I remember,
Never to let go,
And keep the Christ in Christmas,
Every where I go.

Chorus
That the reason for the season,…isn’t lights or gifts we gain.
It isn’t Santa, wreaths, or stockings,…or trees or candy canes
Oh the Reason for the Season, Is for God so loved he gave,
His one and only son,…. So that I'd be saved.
His one and only son,…. So that I’d be saved.


Michael Schroeder

What a blessed song!

WE ARE THE REASON

As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love

We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
He is my reason to live

We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
He is my reason to live

ALL FOR JESUS

All for Jesus, all for Jesus!
All my being’s ransomed powers:
All my thoughts and words and doings,
All my days and all my hours.

Refrain
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours;
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours.

Let my hands perform His bidding,
Let my feet run in His ways;
Let my eyes see Jesus only,
Let my lips speak forth His praise.

Refrain
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours;
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours.

Worldlings prize their gems of beauty,
Cling to gilded toys of dust,
Boast of wealth and fame and pleasure;
Only Jesus will I trust.

Refrain
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours;
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours.

Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus,
I’ve lost sight of all beside;
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Looking at the Crucified.

Refrain
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours;
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours.

Oh, what wonder! how amazing!
Jesus, glorious King of kings,
Deigns to call me His belovèd,
Lets me rest beneath His wings.

Refrain
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours;
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours.

MAY THIS BE OUR PRAYER IN 2008!

NONE BUT JESUS

In the quiet, in the stillness
I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
I know there I am restored

When You call I won’t refuse
Each new day again I’ll choose

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

In the chaos, in confusion
I know You’re Sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will

When You call I won’t delay
This my song through all my days

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You Lord Forevermore

All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You Lord Forevermore

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME Alvin Slaughter

God is good all the time
God is good all the time
God is good all the time
For unmerited favor
I stand up and say
God is good all the time

He made a road in the wilderness
I used to be lost but now I'm free
God is good
He would have left His throne in glory
If there was nobody else but me
God is good

God is good all the time
God is good all the time
God is good all the time
For unmerited favor
I stand up and say
God is good all the time

I used to feel I was all alone
I was looking for peace in my mind
God is good
Then Jesus showed me a better way
That's the reason I testify that
God is good

God is good all the time
God is good all the time
God is good all the time
For unmerited favor
I stand up and say
God is good all the time

JESUS IS ALIVE Ron Kenoly

Hallelujah
Jesus is alive
Death has lost its victory
And the grave has been denied
Jesus lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!

He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is he
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The lamb of God is risen
He's alive, He's alive!

REPEAT

Jesus is alive!

WALKIN WITH MY LORD

Now that I’ve given the Lord my heart
I never want to take it back
For day after day I’ve doubted
If it could last through another night
Without someone to make it right

How I had longed to take it far
Laying hold of the bliss from every shore
But when He came along I saw that
My highest hopes were just old dreams
And nothing more

Chorus
I'll keep believing in His name
Though others may doubt
I'll keep trusting just the same
And if at life's end He had promised nothing more
I'd still be satisfied
Walking with my Lord

Even in darkness how bright the sun
Now that He dwells within my soul
I'm filled with a faith that's anchored
To Him who leads on to eternity
For that's the hope He gives to me

Chorus
I'll keep believing in His name
Though others may doubt
I'll keep trusting just the same
And if at life's end He had promised nothing more
I'd still be satisfied
Walking with my Lord

He's the light that kept searching my heart
Till at last He renewed every part

Chorus
I'll keep believing in His name
Though others may doubt
I'll keep trusting just the same
And if at life's end He had promised nothing more
I'd still be satisfied
Walking with my Lord

I'd still be satisfied
Walking with my Lord

MERCY SAID NO

I was just a child, when I felt the Saviour leading
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing
That what He'd have me be, is who I am

As I've come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I'll need
When sin demanded justice for my soul

Chorus
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no

For God so loved the world, that He sent His son to save us
From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that wages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see

As midnight fell on crucifixion day
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption's flow

Chorus
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no

Bridge
And now when heaven looks at me
It's through the blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago

Chorus
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no

REDEEMER

Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you an only come this far?
Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

CHORUS
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives

The very same God that spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory

CHORUS
Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life wihtin me cry
I know my Redeemer

Bridge
HE LIVES, to take away my shame
And HE LIVES, forever I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive
And there's an empty grave.

CHROUS
And I know my Redeemer, He lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer lives

I CAN BE GLAD

Chorus
I can be glad for my hope is in the Lord
Cause He gives a confidence that this world doesn’t know
He’s the Lord of all creation
And whatever the situation
I’m glad for my hope’s in the Lord

I can be glad for my hope is in the Lord
Cause He gives a confidence that this world doesn’t know
He’s the Lord of all creation
And whatever the situation
I’m glad my hope’s in the Lord

Oh right from the beginning
God made me for His own
So He replaced my weak foundation
And made Himself the cornerstone
When all was ready and in order
He promised every day and hour
He’d be faithful to sustain me
By His mighty power

Chorus
I can be glad for my hope is in the Lord
Cause He gives me confidence that this world doesn’t know
He’s the Lord of all creation
And whatever the situation
I’m glad my hope’s in the Lord

If I land in prison
For calling on God’s name
He would cause the walls to crumble
Under the fervour of my praise
If for the cause of Christ I’ve chosen
To suffer death to prove my stand
I’ll be ushered into Glory
Led by God’s own hand

Every mountain, every fortress
Every word that is not His will pass away

That's why.....

Chorus
I can be glad for my hope is in the Lord
Cause He gives me confidence that this world doesn’t know
He’s the Lord of all creation
And whatever the situation
I’m glad my hope’s in the Lord
