DAYS OF ELIJAH (by Robin
Mark)
These are the days of Elijah, declaring the Word of the
Lord; And these are the days of Your servant, Moses,
righteousness being restored; And though these are days of great trials, of
famine and darkness and sword; Still we are the voice in the desert crying,
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord.”
Chorus: Behold He
comes, riding on the clouds, shining like the sun at the trumpet call; so lift
your voice, it’s the year of Jubilee, and out of Zion’s hill salvation
comes.
And these are the days of Ezekiel, the dry bones becoming as
flesh; and these are the days of Your servant, David,
rebuilding a temple of praise; and these are the days of the harvest, the
fields are white in the world; and we are Your laborers in Your vineyard,
declaring the Word of the Lord.
(Chorus) (1996 Daybreak Music Ltd.)
MY REDEEMER LIVES (by
Reuben Morgan)
I know He rescued my soul; His blood has covered my
sins. I believe. I believe.
My shame He’s taken away; my pain is healed in His name. I believe.
I believe. I’ll raise the banner
‘cause my Lord has conquered the grave. My Redeemer lives. My Redeemer lives. (Repeat beginning)
You lift my burdens.
I’ll rise with You. I’m dancing on this mountain top to see Your kingdom come. My
Redeemer lives. My Redeemer lives. (1998 Reuben Morgan/Hillsong Pub.)

SONG OF WORSHIP WONDERFUL,
MERCIFUL SAVIOR (by D. Rodgers, Eric Wyse)
Wonderful, merciful Savior, precious Redeemer and Friend; Who would have thought that a Lamb could rescue the souls of men? Oh, You rescue the souls of men.
You are the One that we praise, You are the One we adore, You give the healing and grace our hearts always hunger for; Oh, our hearts always hunger for.
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper; Spirit we long to embrace; You offer hope when our hearts have hopelessly lost the way, Oh, we hopelessly lost the way. (Chorus)
Almighty, infinite Father; faithfully loving Your own; Here in our weakness You find us falling before
Your throne, Oh, we’re falling before Your throne. (Chorus)

CLOSING SONG LORD, REIGN IN ME (by Brenton Brown)
Over all the earth, You reign on high; Ev’ry mountain stream, every sunset sky. But my one request and, Lord, my only aim is that You’d reign in me again.
Chorus: Lord, reign in
me, reign in Your pow’r;
Over all my dreams, in my darkest hour.
You are the Lord of all I am; So, won’t You
reign in me again.
Over ev’ry thought, over ev’ry word; May my life reflect the beauty of my Lord. ‘Cause You mean more
to me than any earthly thing. So, won’t You reign in me again.
(Chorus)
(1998 Vineyard Songs, Mercy/Vineyard Publishing)

We love children and
your little ones are welcome in our worship service. On those days when your child is fussy, the
parlor located behind the sanctuary provides an excellent place to care for
your child and still participate in the worship service. Child care is provided for infants and
children up to 4 years old in the Education Building during Sunday school and
worship hours.
