Song Lyrics

For Sunday, April 19

 

Lift High the Name of Jesus

Lift high the name of Jesus
Of Jesus, our King
Make known the power of His grace
The beauty of His peace
Remember how His mercy reached
And we cried out to Him
He lifted us to solid ground
To freedom from our sin

Chorus
O, sing my soul
And tell all He’s done
Till the earth and heavens
Are filled with His glory

Lift high the name of Jesus
Of Jesus, our Lord
His power in us is greater than
Is greater than this world
To share the reason for our hope
To serve with love and grace
That all who see Him shine through us
Might bring the Father praise

Lift high the name of Jesus
Of Jesus, our Light
No other name on earth can save
Can raise a soul to life
He opens up our eyes to see
The harvest He has grown
We labor in His fields of grace
As He leads sinners home

 

Wonderful, Merciful Savior

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious redeemer and friend
Who would have thought that a lamb could
Rescue the souls of men
O, You rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost our way
O, we’ve hopelessly lost the way

You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace our
Hearts always hunger for
O, our hearts always hunger for

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
O, we’re falling before Your throne

 

The Servant King

From heaven You came, helpless babe
Entered our world, Your glory veiled
Not to be served, but to serve
And give Your life that we might live

Chorus
This is our God, the servant King
He calls us now to follow Him
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the servant King

There in the garden of tears
My heavy load He chose to bear
His heart, with sorrow was torn
“Yet not My will but Yours”, He said

Come see His hands and His feet
The scars that speak of sacrifice
Hands that flung stars into space
To cruel nails surrendered

So let us learn how to serve
And in our lives enthrone Him
Each other’s needs to prefer
For it is Christ we’re serving

 

I Surrender All

All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him
In His presence daily live

Chorus
I surrender all
I surrender all
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
I surrender all

All to Jesus I surrender
To the One who died for me
How He gladly left His glory
Now I gladly call Him King

All to Jesus I surrender
Here my wealth, my gifts I bring
Every grace poured down from heaven
I return as praise and sing

All to Jesus I surrender
All my days, my dreams, my plans
Give my life now for His kingdom
O, how worthy is the lamb

 

Sermon: Doers of the Word

Bible Passage:  James 1:19-26 (clicking on the verse will take you to the Bible passage)

 

O Church Arise

O church, arise and put your armor on
Hear the call of Christ our captain
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We’ll stand against the devil’s lies
An army bold whose battle cry is love
Reaching out to those in darkness

Our call to war, to love the captive soul
But to rage against the captor
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor
When faced with trials on every side
We know the outcome is secure
And Christ will have the prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations

Come see the cross where love and mercy meet
As the Son of God is stricken
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet
For the conqueror has risen
And as the stone is rolled away
And Christ emerges from the grave
This victory march continues till the day
Every eye and heart shall see Him

So Spirit, come, put strength in every stride
Give grace for every hurdle
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful
As saints of old still line the way
Retelling triumphs of His grace
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When, with Christ, we stand in glory

 

Benediction: Hebrews 13:20-21

 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
