1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.

HOSANNA (PRAISE IS RISING)

Praise is raising, eyes are turning to You.

We turn to You.

Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You

We long for you.

'Cause when we see You we find strength

to face the day, and in Your presence all our fears are washed away, washed away.

Chorus

Hosanna, Hosanna

You are the God who saves us.

You're worthy of all our praise.

Hosanna, Hosanna

Come have Your way among us.

We welcome You here Lord Jesus.

Hear the sound of hearts returning to You.

We turn to You.

In Your kingdom broken lives are made new.

You make all things new.

'Cause when we see You we find strength

to face the day, and in Your presence all our fears are washed away, washed away.

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 God’s redeeming love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by thy help I’m 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.

Oh, to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let that grace now, 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.

WHAT LOVE IS THIS? Hellings

What love is this I see

You gave Your life for me

Shed blood to set me free

Thank You for Your blood

Thank You for Your blood

How great this sacrifice

Your death to me means life

From darkness into light

Thank You for Your blood

Thank You for Your blood

Now I am truly free

Your love amazes me

I see Your hands Your feet

The price You paid for me

King of Calvary

GOD WITH US Barry Graul

Who are we

That You would be mindful of us

What do You see

That’s worth looking our way

We are free, In ways that we never should be

Sweet release

From the grip of these chains.

Like hinges straining from the weight

My heart no longer can keep from singing.

Chorus

All that is within me cries

For You alone be glorified

Emmanuel God with us

My heart sings a brand new song

The debt is paid these chains are gone

Emmanuel God with us.

Lord You know

Our hearts don't deserve Your glory

Still You show

A love we cannot afford

Like hinges straining from the weight

My heart no longer can keep from singing.

Bridge:

Such a tiny offering

Compared to Calvary

Nevertheless we lay it at your feet.
