Joel 2:28-32 (NIV84)
28 “And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens
and on the earth,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
32 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
there will be deliverance,
as the Lord has said,
among the survivors
whom the Lord calls.

Marvelous Light
Words and Music by Charlie Hall. ©2005 sixsteps Music. CCLI License #256413
I once was fatherless, A stranger with no hope;
Your kindness wakened me, wakened me, from my sleep.
Your love it beckons deeply, A call to come and die.
By grace now I will come And take this life, take your life.
Sin has lost its power, Death has lost its sting.
From the grave You've risen…victoriously!
Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness, out of shame.
By the cross You are the truth,
You are the life, You are the way
My dead heart now is beating, My deepest stains now clean.
Your breath fills up my lungs. Now I'm free, now I'm free!
Lift my hands and spin around, See the light that I have found
O the marvelous light, marvelous light
I Could Sing of Your Love Forever
Words and Music by Martin Smith ©1994 Curious? Music UK #CCLI License 256413
Over the mountains and the sea, Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart and let the Healer set me free.
I’m happy to be in the truth, and I will daily lift my hands for I will always sing of when Your love came down.
I could sing of Your love forever; I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever; I could sing of Your love forever
Lord, I feel like dancing! It’s foolishness, I know,
but when the world has seen the light,
they will dance with joy like they’re dancing now.
Jesus I My Cross Have Taken
Words and Musicy by Henry Francis Lyte 1825, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1791, and Bill Moore. ©2001 Bill Moore Music. Used by Permission. CCLI License #256413
1. Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee.
Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from you my all shall be.
Perish every fond ambition, All I’ve sought or hoped or known.
Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own.
2. Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior, too.
Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue.
O while Thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends disown me, Show Thy face and all is bright.
3. Go, then, earthly fame and treasure, Come disaster, scorn and pain
In Thy service, pain is pleasure, With Thy favor, loss is gain
I have called Thee Abba Father, I have stayed my heart on Thee
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather; All must work for good to me.
4. Soul, then know God’s full salvation Conquer sin and fear and care
Know His word Thy revelation, Taking up Thy cross to bear.
Oh His Spirit dwells within me, I am His and He is mine,
Oh how Jesus died to win thee, Child of heaven, forever Thine.
5. Carry on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer.
Heaven’s eternal days before thee, God’s own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Unashamed Love
Words and Music by Lamont Hiebert
© 2000 Integrity’s Hosanna! Music CCLI# 256413
You’re calling me to lay aside the worries of my day
To quiet down my busy mind, and find a hiding place
Worthy, worthy.
I open up my heart and let my spirit worship Yours
I open up my mouth and let a song of praise come forth
Worthy, worthy.
Of a childlike faith and of my honest praise
Of my unashamed love
Of a holy life, and of my sacrifice
Of my unashamed love
