Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me
What gift of grace
is Jesus my Redeemer
There is no more
for heaven now to give
He is my joy
my righteousness
and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep
and boundless peace
To this I hold
my hope is only Jesus
For my life
is wholly bound to His
Oh how strange and divine
I can sing all is mine
Yet not I
But through Christ in me
The night is dark
But I am not forsaken
For by my side
the Savior He will stay
I labor on
in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need
his power is displayed
To this I hold
My Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest
valley He will lead
Oh the night has been won
And I shall overcome
Yet not I
But through Christ in me
No fate I dread
I know I am forgiven
The future sure
The price it has been paid
For Jesus bled
And suffered for my pardon
And He was raised
to overthrow the grave
To this I hold
My sin has been defeated
Jesus now
and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released
I can sing I am free
Yet not I
But through Christ in me
With every breath
I long to follow Jesus
For He has said
that He will bring me home
And day by day
I know He will renew me
Until I stand
with joy before the throne
To this I hold
My hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete
Still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I
But through Christ in me
Scripture Reading
2 Chronicles 33:12–13
2 Chronicles 33:12–13
12 While Manasseh was in distress he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. 13 He prayed to him, and God received his entreaty, heard his plea, and restored him again to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD indeed was God.
Worshiping God through Tithes and Offerings
Crown Him
(Majesty)
Crown Him with many crowns
The Lamb upon His throne
Hark how the heav’nly anthem
drowns
All music but its own
Awake my soul and sing
Of Him who died for me
And hail Him as thy matchless
King
Through all eternity
Majesty Lord of all
Let ev’ry throne before
Him fall
The King of kings
O come adore
Crown Him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o'er the grave
And rose victorious in the
strife
For those He came to save
His glories now we sing
Who died and rose on high
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die
Majesty Lord of all
Let ev’ry throne before
Him fall
The King of kings
O come adore
All hail Redeemer hail
For He has died for me
His praise and glory
shall not fail
Throughout eternity
All hail Redeemer hail
For He has died for me
His praise and glory
shall not fail
Throughout eternity
(2x)
Majesty Lord of all
Let ev’ry throne before
Him fall
The King of kings
O come adore
(2x)
Praise God who reigns
forevermore
You’re the God who
reigns forevermore

2 Chronicles 33:1–13
2 He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel. 3 For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had pulled down, and erected altars to the Baals, made sacred poles, worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them. 4 He built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem shall my name be forever.” 5 He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 33:1–13
6 He made his son pass through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, practiced soothsaying and augury and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger. 7 The carved image of the idol that he had made he set in the house of God, of which God said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever; 8 I will never again remove the feet of Israel from the land that I appointed for your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given through Moses.”
2 Chronicles 33:1–13
9 Manasseh misled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the people of Israel. 10 The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they gave no heed. 11 Therefore the LORD brought against them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh captive in manacles, bound him with fetters, and brought him to Babylon.

Application
Because He
Lives
God sent His Son
They called Him Jesus
He came to love
Heal and forgive
He bled and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave is there
To prove My Savior lives
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
How sweet to hold
A newborn baby
And feel the pride
And joy he gives
But greater still
The calm assurance
This child can face
uncertain days
Because Christ lives
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
And then one day
I’ll cross that river
I’ll fight life’s final
War with pain
And then as death
Gives way to vict’ry
I’ll see the lights of glory
And I’ll know He reigns
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
