PASS ME NOT O GENTLE SAVIOR
Pass me not, O gentle Savior
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by
CHORUS
Savior, Savior
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief
Kneeling there in deep contrition
Help my unbelief
Trusting only in Thy merit
Would I seek Thy face
Heal my wounded, broken spirit
Save me by Thy grace
Thou the spring of all my comfort
More than life to me
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in Heav'n but Thee?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YOUR LATTER WILL BE GREATER
Your latter will be greater than your past
And you will be blessed more than you could ask
Despite all that has been done, the best is yet to come
And your latter will be greater, your latter will be greater
Your latter will be greater than the rest.
All things are possible, possible, possible
All things are possible, possible, possible
And your latter will be greater, your latter will be greater
Your latter will be greater than the rest.
The best is yet to come
The best is yet to come
Oh the best is yet to come
The King is soon to come
The King is soon to come
Oh the King is soon to come

I invite you and your family to join as the Greater Framingham Community Church family to seek God in a deeper way (Count Down to Easter) by committing to the following:
- Prayer, both individually and as a family...God wants to not only speak to us but hear from us
- Fast, spend time this month (Monday Is GFCC Fast Day) Meditate before God
- Read your Bible even more than you typically do: God's word is our bread of life
- Worship. Central to our life. Be faithful to online worship, venture out to in person worship
