WELCOME TO NOCBC
Working together to extend God’s kingdom (Isaiah 54:2).
May 8, 2022
I cast my mind to Calvary�Where Jesus bled
And died for me
I see His wounds
His hands His feet�My Savior on
That cursed tree
His body bound
And drenched in tears�They laid Him down
In Joseph’s tomb
The entrance sealed
By heavy stone�Messiah still and all alone
O praise the Name
Of the Lord our God�O praise His Name
forevermore
For endless days
We will sing Your praise�Oh Lord oh Lord our God
O praise the Name
Of the Lord our God�O praise His Name
forevermore
For endless days
We will sing Your praise�Oh Lord oh Lord our God
Then on the third
At break of dawn�The Son of heaven rose
again
O trampled death
Where is your sting�The angels roar
For Christ the King
O praise the Name
Of the Lord our God�O praise His Name
forevermore
For endless days
We will sing Your praise�Oh Lord oh Lord our God
He shall return
In robes of white�The blazing sun
Shall pierce the night
And I will rise
Among the saints�My gaze transfixed
On Jesus’ face
O praise the Name
Of the Lord our God�O praise His Name
forevermore
For endless days
We will sing Your praise�Oh Lord oh Lord our God
Oh Lord oh Lord our God�Oh Lord oh Lord our God
Welcome
We’re glad you’re here!

God The Uncreated One
God the Uncreated One�The author of salvation�Who wrote the laws of
space and time�And fashioned worlds to
His design
The One whom angel hosts
revere�Hung the stars like chandeliers�Numbered every grain of sand�Knows the heart of every man
He is King forever�He is King forever�
He is King forevermore
God our fortress and
our strength�The rock on which
we can depend�Matchless in His majesty�His power and authority
Unshaken by the schemes
of man�Never changing Great I Am�Kingdoms rise and
kingdoms fall�He is faithful through it all
Crown Him King forever�Crown Him King forever�Crown Him King forevermore�Oh forevermore
Mighty God in mortal flesh�Forsaken by a traitor’s kiss�The curse of sin and
centuries�Did pierce the lowly
Prince of Peace
Oh lifted high the sinless
man�Crucified the spotless Lamb�Buried by the sons of man�He was rescued by the
Father’s hand
To reign as King forever�Reign as King forever�Reign as King forevermore
King Eternal God of grace�We crown You with the
highest praise�Heaven shouts and saints
adore�You’re holy holy holy Lord
What joy in everlasting life�All is love and faith is sight�Justice rolls and
praises rise�At the name of Jesus Christ
King of kings forever�King of kings forever�
King of kings forevermore
He is King of kings forever�King of kings forever�King of kings forevermore�Oh forevermore

In Christ alone
My hope is found�He is my light
My strength my song
This cornerstone
This solid ground�Firm through the fiercest
drought and storm
What heights of love
What depths of peace�When fears are stilled
When strivings cease
My comforter
My all in all�Here in the love of Christ
I stand
In Christ alone
Who took on flesh�Fullness of God in helpless
babe
This gift of love
And righteousness�Scorned by the ones
He came to save
Till on that cross
As Jesus died�The wrath of God
Was satisfied
For ev’ry sin
On Him was laid�Here in the death
of Christ I live
There in the ground
His body lay�Light of the world by
darkness slain
Then bursting forth
In glorious day�Up from the grave
He rose again
And as He stands in victory�Sin’s curse has lost
its grip on me�For I am His and He is mine�Bought with the precious
blood of Christ
No guilt in life
No fear in death�This is the pow’r of
Christ in me
From life’s first cry
To final breath�Jesus commands my
destiny
No pow’r of hell
No scheme of man�Can ever pluck
Me from His hand
Till He returns
Or calls me home�Here in the pow’r of
Christ I’ll stand
Closing Prayer
Share your faith!
