Praise To The Lord
Joachim Neander CCLI 20455650

Verse 1

Praise to the Lord
The almighty, the King of creation
O my soul praise him
For he is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear
now to his temple draw near
Join me in glad adoration

Verse 2

Praise to the Lord
Who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth
Shielded thee under his wings
Yea so gently sustaineth

Hast thou not seen 
How thy desires have been
Granted in what he ordaineth

Verse 3

Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath
come now with praises before him

Verse 4

Let the amen, sound from his people again
Let the amen, sound from his people again
Let the amen, sound from his people again
Gladly forever adore him


Grace Alone
Dustin Kensrue CCLI 20455650

Verse 1

I was an orphan lost at the fall
Running away when I'd hear your call
But Father, you worked your will

Verse 2

I had no righteousness of my own
I had no right to draw near your throne
But Father, you loved me still

Verse 3

And in love before you laid the world's foundation
You predestined to adopt me as your own
You have raised me up so high above my station
I'm a child of God by grace and grace alone

Verse 4

You left your home to seek out the lost
You knew the great and terrible cost
But Jesus, your face was set

Verse 5

I worked my fingers down to the bone
Nothing I did could ever atone
But Jesus, you paid my debt

Verse 6

By your blood I have redemption and salvation
Lord, you died that I might reap what you have sown
And you rose that I might be a new creation
I am born again by grace and grace alone

Verse 7

I was in darkness all of my life 
I never knew the day from the night
But Spirit, you made me see

Verse 8

I swore I knew the way on my own
Head full of rocks, a heart made of stone
But Spirit, you moved in me

Verse 9

At your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened
On my darkened heart the light of Christ has shone
Called into a kingdom that cannot be shaken
Heaven's citizen by grace and grace alone

Outro

So I'll stand in faith by grace and grace alone
I will run the race by grace and grace alone
I will slay my sin by grace and grace alone
I will reach the end by grace and grace alone

Sermon




Closing Song

Before the Throne
Charitie Lees Bancroft and Vikki Cook CCLI 20455650

Verse 1

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest, whose name is Love
Whoever lives and pleads for me

Verse 2

My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

Verse 3

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin

Verse 4

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Chorus

Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Praise the One,
Risen Son of God!

Verse 5

Behold Him there, the Risen Lamb 
My perfect, spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I am
The King of glory and of grace!

Verse 6

One with Himself I cannot die 
My soul is purchased by His blood 
My life is hid with Christ on high 
With Christ, my Savior and my God 
With Christ, my Savior and my God
