Praise Song: Crush The Walls

Crush the walls of Jericho, part this angry sea. Crush the walls of Jericho, part this angry sea. Jehovah is the name of my deliverer. The Lord has been my strong
and mighty tower.

Send the lowly shepherd boy, there's a giant in the land. Send the lowly shepherd boy, we're gonna need a helpin' hand. Jehovah is the name of my deliverer. The Lord has been my strong and mighty tower. [Norm Strauss © 1993 Norm Strauss, by permission CCLI License No. 459447]

Praise Song: History Maker

Is it true today that when people pray cloudless skies will break, kings and queens will shake? Yes, it’s true!! And I believe it; I’m living, living for you.

Is it true today that when people pray we’ll see dead men rise, and the blind set free? Yes, it’s true!! And I believe it; I’m living, living for you.

Chorus: I’m gonna be a history maker in this land. I’m gonna be a speaker of truth to all mankind. I’m gonna stand, I’m gonna run into your arms, into your arms again.

Well it’s true today that when people pray with the fire of God and the truth at hand, we’ll see miracles, we’ll see angels sing, we’ll see broken hearts making history. Yes, it’s true!! And I believe it, I’m living for you…Chorus 4X.

We are your church. We are your sons and daughters. We’ve gathered here for you to move. We lift our eyes. We lay our hearts before you, expectant here for you to move.

Chorus: With our hands to the heavens, alive in your presence, O God, when you come, so pour out your Spirit. We love to be near you, O God, when you come.

You are the way, the truth and life we live for. Oh, how we long to know you more.

The Apostles' Creed: (said together, standing)

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

When Your fire falls from heaven, we will rend our hearts to You. We will tell it to our children, all the wonders You have done, and in every generation, we will sing of Your great love.

When Your fire falls from heaven, we'll return to You again. We'll be the dreamers of Your dreams, we'll be the dreamers of Your dreams.

Let Your Glory Fall

Father of creation, unfold your sovereign plan. Raise up a chosen generation that will march through the land. All of creation is longing for your unveiling of power, would you release your anointing? O God, let this be the hour.

CHORUS: Let your glory fall in this room, let it go forth from here to the nations. Let your fragrance rest in this place as we gather to seek your face.

Ruler of the nations, the world has yet to see the full release of your promise, the church in victory. Turn to us, Lord, and touch us, make us strong in your might. Overcome your weakness, that we could stand up and fight. CHORUS

Let your kingdom come, (echo) let your will be done (echo). Let us see on earth (echo) the glory of your son. (Repeat 2X) CHORUS (Repeat last 2 lines and end)

Say to those who are broken hearted do not lose your faith. The Lord you God is strong and with his loving arms when you call on his name, he will come and save.
