Psalm 95:1-2 (CEV)

(As a matter of extra caution, we ask that you refrain from singing for the time being. Feel free to hum along or whisper using the lyrics below. Thank you)

Days Of Elijah

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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 as white in the world

And we are the labourers

In Your vineyard

Declaring the Word 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

Bridge

There is no god like Jehovah

There is no god like Jehovah (hey)

The Spirit Of The Lord

Chorus

The Spirit of the Lord

Is great and mighty

The Spirit of the Lord

Is my victory

The Spirit of the Lord

Is great and mighty

Great and mighty in me

Verse 1

Greater is He that is in me

Than he that is in the world

I am more than a conqueror

By the power of His Word

Of His Word

Chorus

The Spirit of the Lord

Is great and mighty

The Spirit of the Lord

Is my victory

The Spirit of the Lord

Is great and mighty

Great and mighty in me

Verse 2

In the name of Jesus

I can do anything

By the power of His Spirit

Through the One who strengthens me

Strengthens me

Chorus

The Spirit of the Lord

Is great and mighty

The Spirit of the Lord

Is my victory

The Spirit of the Lord

Is great and mighty

Great and mighty in me

Start A Fire

Verse 1

This world can be cold and bitter

Feels like we're in the dead of winter

Waiting on something better

But am I really gonna hide forever

Over and over again

I hear Your voice in my head

Let Your light shine

Let Your light shine for all to see

Chorus

(And) start a fire in my soul

Fan the flame and make it grow

So there's no doubt or denying

Let it burn so brightly

That everyone around can see

That it's You, that it's You that we need

Start a fire in me

Verse 2

You only need a spark to start a whole blaze

It only takes a little faith

Let it start right here in this city

So these old walls will never be the same

Over and over again

I hear Your voice in my head

They need to know I need to go

Spirit won't You fall on my heart now

Chorus

(And) start a fire in my soul

Fan the flame and make it grow

So there's no doubt or denying

Let it burn so brightly

That everyone around can see

That it's You, that it's You that we need

Start a fire in me

Bridge

You are the fire You are the flame

You are the light on the darkest day

We have the hope we bear Your name

We carry the news that You have come to save

Only You can save

Chorus

(And) start a fire in my soul

Fan the flame and make it grow

So there's no doubt or denying

Let it burn so brightly

That everyone around can see

That it's You, that it's You that we need

Start a fire in me

The Heart Of Worship

Verse 1

When the music fades all is stripped away

And I simply come

Longing just to bring something that's of worth

That will bless Your heart

Pre-Chorus

I'll bring You more than a song

For a song in itself is not what You have required

You search much deeper within

Through the way things appear

You're looking into my heart

Chorus

I'm coming back to the heart of worship

And it's all about You, all about You Jesus

I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it

When it's all about You, all about You Jesus

Verse 2

King of endless worth no one could express

How much You deserve

Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is Yours

Ev'ry single breath

Pre-Chorus

I'll bring You more than a song

For a song in itself is not what You have required

You search much deeper within

Through the way things appear

You're looking into my heart

Chorus

I'm coming back to the heart of worship

And it's all about You, all about You Jesus

I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it

When it's all about You, all about You Jesus

630. What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Joseph M. Scriven | Charles C. Converse | CCLI #791679

What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer!

What A Friend

Verse 1

Everybody has trials and temptations

Everybody knows heartbreak, isolation

But we can lay our burdens down

Lay our burdens down

Chorus

What a friend we have in Jesus

East to west my sins are gone

I see grace on every horizon

And forever and ever His heart is my home

==================================

Scripture - Philippians 3:7-11

7 But Christ has shown me that what I once thought was valuable is worthless. 8 Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have given up everything else and count it all as garbage. All I want is Christ 9 and to know that I belong to him. I could not make myself acceptable to God by obeying the Law of Moses. God accepted me simply because of my faith in Christ. 10 All I want is to know Christ and the power that raised him to life. I want to suffer and die as he did, 11 so that somehow I also may be raised to life.

Sermon - All I Want is Christ
