This Is Amazing Grace
Who breaks the power
Of sin and darkness?�Whose love is mighty
And so much stronger?�The King of Glory
The King above all kings
Who shakes the whole earth
With holy thunder�And leaves us breathless
In awe and wonder?�The King of Glory
The King above all kings
This is amazing grace�This is unfailing love�That You would take
my place�That You would bear
my cross
You laid down Your life�That I would be set free�Oh Jesus I sing for�All that You've done for me
Who brings our chaos
Back into order?�Who makes the orphan
A son and daughter?�The King of Glory
The King of Glory
Who rules the nations
With truth and justice?�Shines like the sun
In all of its brilliance?�The King of Glory
The King above all kings
This is amazing grace�This is unfailing love�That You would take
my place�That You would bear
my cross
You laid down Your life�That I would be set free�Oh Jesus I sing for�All that You've done for me
Worthy is the
Lamb who was slain�Worthy is the King
Who conquered the grave
(3x)
Worthy is the Lamb
Who was slain
Worthy worthy worthy, Oh
This is amazing grace�This is unfailing love�That You would take
my place�That You would bear
my cross
You laid down Your life�That I would be set free�Oh Jesus I sing for�All that You've done for me
Welcome
We’re glad you’re here!

Christ Is Mine Forevermore
Mine are days that
God has numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of
kings
But mine is hope in
my Redeemer
Though I fall His love is sure
For Christ has paid for
every failing
I am His forevermore
Mine are tears in times of
sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must
travel
Where I see no earthly good
But mine is peace that flows
from heaven
And the strength in times
of need
I know my pain will
not be wasted
Christ completes His work
in me
Mine are days here as
a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will
encounter
Harm and hatred for His name
But mine is armor for
this battle
Strong enough to last the
war
And He has said He will
deliver
Safely to the golden shore
And mine are keys to
Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found
its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore
Come rejoice now O my soul
For His love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is
sure
Christ is mine forevermore
And mine are keys to Zion
city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found
its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said through Isaiah the prophet:
Acts 28:22–30
26 “ ‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.” 27 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. …
Acts 28:22–30
27 … Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’ 28 “Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”

His Mercy Is More
What love could remember
No wrongs we have done?
Omniscient all-knowing
He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea
Without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
What patience would wait
As we constantly roam?
What Father so tender
Is calling us home?
He welcomes the weakest The vilest the poor
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
What riches of kindness
He lavished on us
His blood was the payment
His life was the cost
We stood ’neath a debt
We could never afford
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more (2x)
