Carry Me Through

There's a mountain here before me
And I'm gonna climb it with strength not my own
And He's gonna carry me when I get weary
Carry me through, carry me through

Hallelujah…Hallelujah…Hallelujah…Carry me through
Hallelujah…Hallelujah…Lord sweet Lord…Carry me through

There's a river here before me
And I'm gonna cross it with strength not my own
And He's gonna carry me when I get weary
Carry me through, carry me through

There's a city here before me
And I'm gonna get there with strength not my own
And He's gonna carry me when I get weary
Carry me through, carry me through

I Will Sing Of My Redeemer

I will sing of my Redeemer…He who took the nails for me
I've been purchased I've been pardoned…Bound to Him I'm truly free
I will sing of my Redeemer…Lift my voice to praise my Lord
Ransomed by His blood and mercy…I am His forevermore

I will sing of my Redeemer…How He sought me while a slave
Loosed me from the curse of sin…And from the power of the grave
I will sing of my Redeemer…Lift my voice to praise my Lord
Ransomed by His blood and mercy…I am His forevermore

I will sing of my Redeemer…He who bore my cross my curse
Came a servant chose to suffer…Lifted up and cast from earth
I will sing of my Redeemer…Lift my voice to praise my Lord
Ransomed by His blood and mercy…I am His forevermore

I will sing of my Redeemer…Tell about the grace I've known
Here on earth with those forgiven…And one day around His throne
I will sing of my Redeemer…Lift my voice to praise my Lord
Ransomed by His blood and mercy…I am His forevermore

The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power

The blood that Jesus shed for me…'Way back on Calvary
The blood that gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose its pow'r

It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose its pow'r

It soothes my doubt and calms my fears…And it dries all my tears
The blood that gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose its pow'r

Oh the blood of Jesus…Oh the blood of Jesus
Oh the blood of Jesus…it washes white as snow

There’s power in the blood of Jesus
There’s power in the blood of Jesus
There’s power in the blood of Jesus…it washes white as snow

I’m thankful for the blood of Jesus
I’m thankful for the blood of Jesus
I’m thankful for the blood of Jesus…it washes white as snow

I See The Lord

I see the Lord…Seated on the throne exalted
And the train of His robe…Fills the temple with glory
And the whole earth is filled…And the whole earth is filled
And the whole earth is filled…With His glory

Holy holy holy holy…Holy is the Lord
Holy holy holy holy…Holy is the Lord

One Body: The Necessity of Deacons
1 Timothy 3:8-13

Three simple truths concerning the necessity of deacons in the local church:

I. Goshen, we need deacons (Acts 6; 1 Tim. 3:7; Phil. 1:1).
A. Identifying the office: deacon.
B. Scarce mention of the office in the New Testament.
C. Word group used often in the New Testament.

II. Goshen, we need godly deacons (1 Tim. 3:8-12).
A. Character matters most.
B. The normalcy of the deacon qualifications.
C. A closer look at the qualifications.

III. Goshen, we need to appreciate our deacons (1 Tim. 3:13).

The River

To the river I am going bringing sins I cannot bear
Come and cleanse me come forgive me Lord I need to meet You there

In these waters healing mercy flows with freedom from despair
I am going to that river Lord I need to meet You there

Precious Jesus I am ready to surrender ev'ry care
Take my hand now lead me closer Lord I need to meet You there
(back to top)

Come and join us in the river come find life beyond compare
He is calling He is waiting Jesus longs to meet you there
He is calling He is waiting Jesus longs to meet you there

Precious Jesus I am ready to surrender ev'ry care
Take my hand now lead me closer Lord I need to meet You there
Take my hand now lead me closer Lord I need to meet You there

The Blessing

The Lord bless you…and keep you
Make His face shine upon you…and be gracious to you
The Lord turn His Face toward you…and give you peace

Amen…Amen…Amen

May his favor be upon you and a thousand generations
And your family…and your children
And their children…and their children

May his presence go before you…And behind you…and beside you
All around you…and within you…He is with you…He is with you

In the morning…in the evening…In your coming…and your going
In your weeping…and rejoicing…He is for you…He is for you
