WORSHIP IN SONG: SEND
YOUR FIRE (by Kent Henry)
Chorus: Send Your fire, send Your rain; Holy oil in Jesus’ name.
Loose the wind that
brings Heaven’s change; send the fire, send the oil, the wind and rain.
Nation to nation, tribe by tribe; person to person, for whom my Jesus died. Speaking out Your Word,
Holy Spirit be my Guide; as we wait
upon You, Lord, we will go forth in Your name, O Lord. (Chorus)
Touched by the fire, touched by the flame; warmed by the Spirit, like the summer’s gentle rain.
Preaching such a message we have power to proclaim; as we wait upon You, Lord,
we will go forth in Your name, O
Lord. (Chorus) (1996 Ground Zero Pub.)
YOUR GRACE IS ENOUGH (by Matt Maher)
Great is Your faithfulness, oh God. You wrestle with the sinner’s heart,
You lead us by still waters into mercy, and nothing can keep us apart.
Chorus: So, remember Your
people, remember Your children, remember Your promise, oh God.
Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough for me.
Great is Your love and justice, God. You use the weak to lead the strong,
You lead us in the song of Your salvation, and all Your people sing along.
Chorus: So, remember Your
people, remember Your children, remember Your promise, oh God.
Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough for me. Repeat 2x
So, remember Your people, remember Your children, remember Your promise, oh God.
Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough for me.
Your grace is enough, Heaven reaching down to us. Your grace is enough for me.
Your grace is enough; I’m covered in Your love, Your grace is enough for me, for me.

HE REIGNS (P. Furler, S. Taylor)
It’s the song of the redeemed rising from the African plain. It’s the song of the forgiven
drowning out the Amazon rain. The song Asian believers filled with God’s holy fire.
It’s ev’ry tribe, ev’ry tongue, ev’ry nation; a love song born of grateful choir.
Chorus: It’s all God’s children singing “Glory,
glory, hallelujah! He reigns, He
reigns!”
It’s all God’s
children singing, “Glory, glory, hallelujah! He reigns, He reigns.”
Let it rise above the four winds, caught up in the heavenly sound. Let praises echo from the towers
of cathedrals to the faithful gathered underground. Of all the songs sung from dawn of creation,
some were meant to persist. Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples, none rings truer than this: (Chorus)
And all the powers of darkness tremble at what they’ve just heard,
‘cause all the powers of darkness
can’t drown out a single word.
(Chorus) (WorshipTogether.com)
OPENING PRAYER
HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD (by Chris Tomlin)
The splendor of the King clothed in majesty let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice.
He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide, and trembles at His voice, trembles at His voice.
Chorus: How great is our God! Sing with me: How great is our God!
And all will see how
great, how great is our God.
And age to age He stands and time is in his hands, beginning and the End, Beginning and the End.
The God-head, three in one, and Father and Spirit and Son, The Lion and the Lamb, Lion and the Lamb. (Repeat chorus)
(bridge)‘Cause You’re the Name above all names, and worthy of all praise. And my heart will sing:
How great is our God. You’re the Name above all names, and worthy of all praise. And my heart will sing:
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art. (repeat chorus)
