Gathering for 02/23



Buttercup last Wednesday

Lord I Need You - Passion

Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You, I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart
Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Yes, where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay
Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

How Great Thou Art

Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
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
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
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
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
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
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

LEADER:  Jesus spoke to all the apostles saying, “A new command I give you.”


PEOPLE:  Love one another.” 


LEADER:  Jesus again reminded them.


PEOPLE:  “As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

LEADER:  John recorded Christ’s words again in his gospel:


PEOPLE:  “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

LEADER:  Paul carried the same message forward.  As his jewish brothers and sisters were being oppressed, Paul preached …


PEOPLE:  “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”


LEADER:  Paul even wrote a letter to the churches in Rome to remind them …

PEOPLE:  Love Fulfills the Law.  Let no debt remain except the debt to love one another.  For whoever loves others, has fulfilled the law.

LEADER:  Paul repeated Christ’s commands.  He wrote to the church in Galatia these words. 


PEOPLE:  “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.


LEADER:  Paul continued this message to the church in Ephesus.


PEOPLE:  “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.  For you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.”

LEADER:  Jesus taught us to love one another.  Paul repeated the teachings to love one another.  But wait! There was more!  Peter also wrote …


PEOPLE:  “Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth,  love one another deeply, from the heart.



LEADER:  Peter repeated himself …


PEOPLE:  “Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

LEADER:  John, the Beloved Apostle.  The last letter-writer of the New Testament wrote these words in all of his three letters:

PEOPLE:  “For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.”

LEADER:  John went on to say:

ALL:  “And this is God’s command: 

To believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, 

and to love one another as he commanded us.”




How Great is Our God - Chris Tomlin

The splendor of a 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
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names (how great is our God, sing with me)
Worthy of our praise (how great is our God, and all will see)
My heart will sing
How great is our God
You're the name above all names (how great is our God, sing with me)
You are worthy of our praise (how great is our God, and all will see)
And my heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Lord's Supper
Living Hope - Phil Wickham

How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior, I'm Yours forever
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Jesus, Yours is the victory, whoa!
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Harvey & Niko last Monday
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Oh God, You are my living hope
