BIBLE READING
Jesus heals a paralyzed man
(Luke 5: 17-26)
One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

OUR GOD
Water You turned into wine
opened the eyes of the blind
there’s no one like You
none like You.
Into the darkness You shine
out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
none like You.
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer, awesome in power
our God, our God.
Into the darkness You shine
out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
none like You.
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer, awesome in power
our God, our God.
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer, awesome in power
our God, our God.
And if our God is for us
then who could ever stop us
and if our God is with us
then what could stand against?
And if our God is for us
then who could ever stop us
and if our God is with us
then what could stand against?
What could stand against?
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer, awesome in power
our God, our God.
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer, awesome in power
our God, our God.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY
To God be the glory! great things He hath done
so loved He the world that He gave us His Son
who yielded His life an atonement for sin
and opened the life gate that all may go in
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear His voice
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice
O come to the Father
through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory
great things He hath done!
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
to every believer the promise of God
the vilest offender who truly believes
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear His voice
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice
O come to the Father
through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory
great things He hath done!
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear His voice
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice
O come to the Father
through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory
great things He hath done!

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUR NAME
Here I am, and I have come
to thank You, Lord, for all You’ve done;thank You, Lord.
You paid the price at Calvary,
You shed Your blood You set me free;
thank You, Lord.
No greater love was ever shown,
no better life ever was laid down.
And I will always love Your name,
and I will always sing Your praise;
and I will always love Your name,
and I will always sing Your praise.
You took my sin, You took my shame,
You drank my cup, You bore my pain;
thank You, Lord.
You broke the curse, You broke the chains,
in victory from death You rose again;
thank You, Lord.
And not by works, but by Your grace
You clothe me now in Your righteousness.
And I will always love Your name,
and I will always sing Your praise;
and I will always love Your name,
and I will always sing Your praise.
You bid me come, You make me whole,
You give me peace, You restore my soul;
thank You, Lord.
You fill me up, and when I’m full
You give me more till I overflow;
thank You, Lord.
You’re making me to be like You,
to do the works of the Father, too.
And I will always love Your name,
and I will always sing Your praise;
and I will always love Your name,
and I will always sing Your praise.

HERE IS LOVE, VAST AS THE OCEAN
Here is love vast as the ocean,
loving kindness as the flood,
when the Prince of life, our ransom,
shed for us His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember;
who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten
throughout heaven’s eternal days.
On the mount of crucifixion
fountains opened deep and wide;
through the floodgates of God’s mercy
flowed a vast and gracious tide.
Grace and love, like mighty rivers
poured incessant from above;
and heaven’s peace and perfect justice
kissed a guilty world in love.

HOSANNA
I see the King of glory
coming on the clouds with fire
the whole earth shakes
the whole earth shakes
I see His love and mercy
washing over all our sin
the people sing
the people sing
Hosanna, hosanna
hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna
hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
rising up to take their place,
with selfless faith
with selfless faith
I see a near revival
stirring as we pray and seek
we’re on our knees
we’re on our knees
Hosanna, hosanna
hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna
hosanna in the highest
Heal my heart and make it clean
open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
everything I am for Your kingdom’s cause.
As I walk from earth into eternity
Hosanna, hosanna
hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna
hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest
hosanna in the highest

PSALM 23
The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me lie in pastures green.
He leads me by the still, still waters,
His goodness restores my soul.
And I will trust in You alone,
and I will trust in You alone,
for Your endless mercy follows me,
Your goodness will lead me home.
He guides my ways in righteousness,
and He anoints my head with oil,
and my cup, it overflows with joy,
I feast on His pure delights.
And I will trust in You alone,
and I will trust in You alone,
for Your endless mercy follows me,
Your goodness will lead me home.
And though I walk the darkest path,
I will not fear the evil one,
for You are with me, and Your rod and staff
are the comfort I need to know.
And I will trust in You alone,
and I will trust in You alone,
for Your endless mercy follows me,
Your goodness will lead me home.

THIS IS AMAZING GRACE
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness?
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger?
The King of glory, the King above all kings.
Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder?
Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder?
The King of glory, the King above all kings.
This is amazing grace, this is unfailing love
that You would take my place
that You would bear my cross
You would lay down Your life
that I would be set free
Jesus, I sing for all that You’ve done for me
Who brings our chaos back into order?
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter?
The King of glory, the King above all kings
Who rules the nations with truth and justice
shines like the sun in all of its brilliance?
The King of glory, the King above all kings.
This is amazing grace, this is unfailing love
that You would take my place
that You would bear my cross
You would lay down Your life
that I would be set free
Jesus, I sing for all that You’ve done for me
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
and worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
and worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
and worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
and worthy is the King who conquered the grave
This is amazing grace, this is unfailing love
that You would take my place
that You would bear my cross
You would lay down Your life
that I would be set free
Jesus, I sing for all that You’ve done for me
Jesus, I sing for all that You’ve done for me.
