WELCOME Worship Leader, Elmine van den Berg WORSHIP IN SONG: I WILL WORSHIP YOU, LORD (Words and music by Daniel Gardner)

I will worship you Lord, with all of my might, I will praise You with a psalm; I will worship You, Lord, with all of my might, I will praise You all day long. For Thou, O Lord, art glorious, and Thy name is greatly to be praised; May my heart be pure and holy in Thy sight as I worship You with all of my might. (1981 Gardner Music)

THE WALLS WILL COME DOWN (by Reg Henare)

The walls will come down with the shout of praise, the walls will come down with the shout of joy;

the walls will come down with a shout of triumph to the Lord God Almighty. The walls will come down

with the shout of praise, the walls will come down with the shout of joy; the walls will come down

with a shout of triumph to the Lord God Almighty.

With the Sword of the Spirit in our hands, the Word of God in our mouth;

with the blood of Jesus to set us free, we have the victory!

The walls will come down with the shout of praise, the walls will come down with the shout of joy;

the walls will come down with a shout of triumph to the Lord God Almighty. The walls will come down

with the shout of praise, the walls will come down with the shout of joy; the walls will come down

with a shout of triumph to the Lord God Almighty The walls will come down! (1997 Integrity’s Hosanna! )

WE PRAISE YOU, JESUS (by Kenny & Lindsey Drain)

We praise You, Jesus, we praise You, Lord; We sing songs of freedom, we dance with joy.

You've taken our weeping and turned it into dancing; Taken our heaviness away, far away.

(1991 Integrity's Hosanna! Music)

SING A SONG (by Third Day)

I want to sing a song for you, Lord. Lord, for you, I want to sing a song and I want to lift my voice to heaven and listen to the angels sing along. A song of your faithfulness, a song of your grace, and of your loving kindness to the glory of your name. With ev’ry thing that’s in me, Lord, listen to me say: I want to sing a song for you, I want to sing a song.

I want to live my life for you, Lord. Lord, for you, I want to live my life. And I want to praise the name

of Jesus, pray above all things you’re glorified. A song of your faithfulness, a song of your grace, and of your loving kindness to the glory of your name. With ev’ry thing that’s in me, Lord, listen to me say: I want to sing a song for you, I want to sing a song.

And I sing about your mercy and I sing about your love; your goodness, Lord, your righteousness I want to sing a song of your faithfulness, a song of your grace, and of your loving kindness to the glory of your name.

With ev’ry thing that’s in me, Lord, listen to me say: I want to sing a song for you, I want to sing a song.

And we’ll sing, “Holy, Holy, Holy.” We’ll sing “Holy, Holy, Holy.” We’ll shout, “Holy, Holy, are you, Lord Almighty!” (and we’ll sing.) “Holy, Holy, Holy.” We’ll sing “Holy, Holy, Holy.”

*SCRIPTURE READING Romans 6:12-23

GREAT ARE YOU LORD (by Steve & Vikki Cook)

Holy Lord, most holy Lord, You alone are worthy of my praise.

O holy Lord, most holy Lord, with all of my heart I sing.

Great are You, Lord; worthy of praise, holy and true.

Great are You, Lord, most holy Lord. (1984 Maranatha! Music)

TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE (by Noel Richards)

To be in your presence to sit at your feet where your love surrounds me,

make my joy complete. This is my desire...(repeat 3x)

To rest in your presence not rushing away to cherish each moment this is what I pray.

This is my desire...(repeat 3x) (1991 ThankYou Music)

FOREVER GRATEFUL (by Mark Altrogge)

You did not wait for me to draw near to You but You clothed Yourself with frail humanity;

You did not wait for me to cry out to You but You let me hear Your voice calling me. And I’m forever grateful to You, I’m forever grateful for the cross; I’m forever grateful to You that You came to seek and save the lost.

I’m forever grateful to You, I’m forever grateful for the cross; I’m forever grateful to You that You came to seek and save the lost. (1985 People of Destiny Music)

He is our peace, who has broken down ev’ry wall; He is our peace, He is our peace.

Message: “A Cup of Cold Water” Pastor HeyYoung Horton

CLOSING SONG O MASTER, LET ME WALK WITH THEE (by Washington Gladden)

O Master, let me walk with thee in lowly paths of service free;

tell me thy secret; help me bear the strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move by some clear, winning word of love;

teach me the wayward feet to stay, and guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me thy patience; still with thee in closer, dearer company,

in work that keeps faith sweet and strong, in trust that triumphs over wrong;

In hope that sends a shining ray far down the future’s broadening way,

in peace that only thou canst give, with thee, O Master, let me live. (Public Domain)
