Psalm 8:1-8 ESV
Lion and the Lamb
He’s coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
Every chain will break
As broken hearts declare His praise
For who can stop the Lord Almighty
Our God is the lion the Lion of Judah
He’s roaring with power and fighting our battles
Every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the lamb, the lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world, his blood breaks the chains
Every knee will bow before the lion and the lamb
Every knee will bow before Him
Open up the gates
Make way before the King of Kings
The God who comes to save
Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty
Who can stop the Lord Almighty
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
You Never Change
Oh may I run to no other refuge, no other rest for my soul.
Oh may I drink from no other fountain, where living waters will flow.
Jesus, you're all I need.
Jesus, you're all I need.
You are my life, may you be lifted high.
There is no other like Jesus Christ.
You are my story, you’re my everything.
You are my glory, my God and my king.
You are my rock, and you never change, you never change.
No other power can break the darkness no other hand that can save
Forever faithful, your love in stronger,
I trust in no other name.
Jesus, you're all I need.
Jesus, you're all I need.
My strength to stand, all of my days are in your hands
My life to see, Your glory goes before me
My king, you reign, my rock and you never change
No you never change
You are my rock, and you never change, you never change.
You never change, you never change.
Hosea 3:1-5
Hosea Redeems His Wife
3 And the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins.” 2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech[a] of barley. 3 And I said to her, “You must dwell as mine for many days. You shall not play the whore, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you.” 4 For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or household gods. 5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God, and David their king, and they shall come in fear to the Lord and to his goodness in the latter days.

Nothing but the Blood
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh, precious is the flow,
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
