I’m Gonna Make It

I’m gonna make it…He’s already said that I would
I’ll keep on trusting…That He’s working everything for my good
He walks beside me…And Heaven is in my view – ooh
I’m gonna make it through

Ancient Of Days

Blessing and honor glory and power…Be unto the Ancient of Days
From ev'ry nation all of creation…Bow before the Ancient of Days

Ev'ry tongue in heaven and earth shall declare Your glory
Ev'ry knee shall bow at Your throne in worship
You will be exalted O God
And Your kingdom shall not pass away…O Ancient of Days

Your kingdom shall reign over all the earth
Sing unto the Ancient of Days
For none can compare to Your matchless worth
Sing unto the Ancient of Days

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God, my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not; Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be

[CHORUS]
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love
[CHORUS]

Pardon for sin and a peace that en-dureth
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside!
[CHORUS]

Lord You are faithful…faithful to me!

Jesus Only Jesus

Who has the power to raise the dead
Who can save us from our sin
He is our hope our righteousness…Jesus only Jesus

Who can make the blind to see
Who holds the keys that set us free
He paid it all to bring us peace…Jesus only Jesus

Holy King Almighty Lord…Saints and angels all adore
I join with them and bow before…Jesus only Jesus

Who can command the highest praise
Who has the name above all names
You stand alone I stand amazed…Jesus only Jesus

You will command the highest praise
Yours is the Name above all names
You stand alone I stand amazed…Jesus only Jesus

A Commitment to the Great Commandment
Matthew 22:34-40

Commitments:
- Word of God
- Prayer
- Great Commandment
- Great Commission

Which is the great commandment in the Law?
I. The first commandment: Love God.
II. The second commandment: Love neighbor.

I Will Rise

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul…I can say it is well

Jesus has overcome…And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won…He is risen from the dead

(And) I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow no more pain
I will rise on eagle's wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise I will rise (I will rise)

There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear…And my faith shall be my eyes

And I hear the voice of many angels sing…Worthy is the Lamb
And I hear the cry of ev'ry longing heart…Worthy is the Lamb

Leaning On the Everlasting Arms

What a fellowship what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness what a peace is mine
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning…Leaning…Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning…Leaning…Leaning on the everlasting arms

O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way
Leaning on the everlasting arms
O how bright the path grows from day to day
Leaning on the everlasting arms

What have I to dread what have I to fear
Leaning on the everlasting arms
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning…Leaning…Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning…Leaning…Leaning on the everlasting arms
