Praise

Intro
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord

Verse 1
I’ll praise in the valley
Praise on the mountain
I’ll praise when I’m sure
Praise when I’m doubting
I’ll praise when outnumbered
Praise when surrounded
'Cause praise is the water
My enemies drown in

Pre-Chorus
As long as I’m breathing
I’ve got a reason to

Chorus 1
Praise the Lord oh my soul
Praise the Lord oh my soul

Verse 2
I’ll praise when I feel it
And I’ll praise when I don’t
I’ll praise 'cause I know
You’re still in control
'Cause my praise is a weapon
It’s more than a sound
My praise is the shout
That brings Jericho down

Chorus 2
Praise the Lord oh my soul
Praise the Lord oh my soul
I won’t be quiet
My God is alive
How could I keep it inside
Praise the Lord oh my soul

Bridge
I’ll praise 'cause You’re sovereign
Praise 'cause You reign
Praise 'cause You rose and defeated the grave
I’ll praise 'cause You’re faithful
Praise 'cause You’re true
Praise 'cause there’s nobody greater than You

Chorus 3
Praise the Lord oh my soul
Praise the Lord oh my soul
Praise the Lord oh my soul
Praise the Lord oh my soul
I won’t be quiet
My God is alive
How could I keep it inside
I won’t be quiet
My God is alive
How could I keep it inside
I won’t be quiet
My God is alive
How could I keep it inside
Praise the Lord oh my soul

Ending
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord

Behold Him robed in majesty

Breakers bow before Him tides rush to obey

Behold Him worthy of our trust
Faithful to His promise ever here with us

He reigns amidst the flood
He reigns with grace and love
Enthroned on high the Lord Almighty reigns

Thunder trembles in Your presence
You will hold us in the tempest
You will not be moved You will not be moved
You will not be moved You will not be moved

Praise His Name (Psalm 148)

Verse 1
Reaches of heaven starry heights
Lights of the evening dancing in silent skies
Brilliance of morning breaking day
O let them praise Him praise His name

Chorus
O praise His name O praise His name
Let all His wondrous works declare His praise

Verse 2
Mightiest mountains peaceful plains
Snowfall and fire thundering ocean waves
Kings and their kingdoms age to age
O let them praise Him praise His name

Bridge
King enthroned in majesty
All things made by His decree
Hear creation's melody
Praise Him praise Him
Everything with life and breath
Everywhere from east to west
Every heart raised from the dead
Praise Him praise Him
Angels echo the refrain
Jesus Lamb for sinners slain
Name above all other names praise Him

Verse 1
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Verse 2
Turn your eyes to the hillside
Where justice and mercy embrace
There the Son of God gave His life for us
And our measureless debt was erased

Chorus
Jesus to You we lift our eyes
Jesus our glory and our prize
We adore You behold You our Savior ever true
Oh Jesus we turn our eyes to You

Verse 3
Turn your eyes to the morning
And see Christ the lion awake
What a glorious dawn fear of death is gone
For we carry His life in our veins

Verse 4
Turn your eyes to the heavens
Our King will return for His own
Every knee will bow every tongue will shout
All glory to Jesus alone

Relentless Love

Verse 1
It's mercy like a raging flood
It's favor that we can't outrun
That he lavishes on everyone
It's the fury of relentless love

Chorus
It's a fire it's a tempest
It's a mystery and it's reckless
It's your passion chasing after us
That's the fury of relentless love

Verse 2
It rescues every rebel heart
And it's power changes who we are
we're captured and we're overcome
By the fury of relentless love

Bridge
Oh it cannot be denied
Those who know can testify

Colossians 3:1-4 (NIV)

Leader: Please return and remain standing (as you are able) for today’s Scripture reading from John 6:25-59. After the reading, the response will be, “Thanks be to God.”

1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 

2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 

3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 

4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Leader: The Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God!

Leader: You may be seated. 

Colossians 3:1-4
