Song Lyrics
For Sunday, March 8
Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou my vision
O, Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me
Save that Thou art
Thou my best thought
By day or by night
Waking or sleeping
Thy presence my light
Be Thou my wisdom
Be Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee
And Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father
And I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling
And I with Thee one
Be Thou my shield
My sword for the fight
Be Thou my dignity
Be Thou my might
Thou my soul’s shelter
And Thou my high tow’r
Raise Thou me heav’nward
O pow’r of my pow’r
Riches I heed not
Nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance
Now and always
Thou and Thou only
Be first in my heart
High King of heaven
My treasure Thou art
High King of heaven
When vict’ry is won
May I reach heaven’s joys
O, bright heaven’s Sun
Heart of my own heart
Whatever befall
Still be my vision
O, Ruler of all
Still be my vision
O, Ruler of all
Our God Saves
In the name of the Father
In the name of the Son
In the name of the Spirit
Lord, we come
We’re gathered together
To lift up Your Name
To call on our Savior
To fall on Your grace
Pre-Chorus
Hear the joyful sound
Of our offering
As Your saints bow down
As Your people sing
We will rise with You
Lifted on Your wings
And the world will see that
Chorus
Our God saves
Our God saves
There is hope
In Your Name
Tag
Mourning turns
To songs of praise
Our God saves
Our God saves
Praise Him Forever
My mind, it longs for Thee
My soul, it knows what it needs
That Your Spirit would move in me
That Your presence would pull me deep
Chorus
I’ve encountered the Spirit
Felt the love of the Father
Found my life in the Savior
And it changed me forever
I’ve encountered the goodness
Felt the truth and the power
O, I’ve been saved by Jesus
And I will praise Him forever
My heart to You I bring
My hope, it holds on to see
That Your Spirit would move in me
That Your presence would pull me deep
Bridge
No weapon
Formed against me
Shall prosper
Lord, just lead me
And Your goodness
And Your mercy
They will follow
Lord, just lead me
Abide With Me
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, abide with me
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile
Thou hast not left me oft as I left Thee
On to the close, Lord, abide with me
I need Thy presence every passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, abide with me
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, tears lose their bitterness
Where is thy sting, death?
Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, abide with me
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Heaven’s morning breaks and earth’s vain shadows flee
In life, in death, Lord, abide with me
Tag
In life, in death, Lord, abide with me
In life, in death, Lord, abide with me
Sermon: Opposition and Faithfulness
Bible Passage: Nehemiah 4 (clicking on the verse will take you to the Bible passage)
How Deep the Father’s Love for Us
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
