WHEN I ROSE THIS MORNING
This morning when I rose
I didn't have no doubt
(3x)
I know the Lord will take care of me
I know the Lord will provide for me
and I know He will
Lead and guide me all the way
Yes, all the way
I woke up this morning, I saw a brand new day
I didn't have no doubt
(3x)
HIGH PRAISE
The Lord is high above the heavens
And His glory above the nations
(2x)
Give God the highest praise
Acknowledge Him always
And all the people say
Halle, Halle, Hallelujah
Hallelujah!
LORD PREPARE ME
Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living
Sanctuary for You
ANCIENT OF DAYS
Blessing and Honour, Glory and Power
Be unto the ancient of days
From every nation, all of creation
Bow before the ancient of days
Every tongue in heaven and earth shall declare Your glory
Every knee shall bow at Your throne in worship
You will be exalted, oh God
And Your kingdom shall not pass away
Oh ancient of days
(repeat from beginning)
Your kingdom shall reign over all the earth
Sing unto the ancient of days
For none can compare to Your matchless worth
Sing unto the ancient of days
Every tongue in heaven and earth shall declare Your glory
Every knee shall bow at Your throne in worship
You will be exalted, oh God
And Your kingdom shall not pass away
Oh ancient of days
Oh ancient of days
Oh ancient of days
Oh ancient of days
Oh ancient of days
Oh ancient of days
VAMP
Your kingdom shall reign over all the earth
Sing unto the ancient of days
For none can compare to Your matchless worth
Sing unto the ancient of days
BREATHE ON ME
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love
And do what Thou wouldst do.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will
To do and to endure.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Till I am wholly Thine
Till all this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity
TESTIMONY
As I look back over my life
And I think things over
I can truly say that I've been blessed
I have a testimony
As I look back over my life
And I think things over
I can truly say He brought me all the way
I've got a testimony
Sometimes I couldn't see my way through
But the Lord He brought me out
Right now I'm free, I've got the victory
I've got a testimony
VAMP
I have a testimony

After months, Greater Framingham Community Church has resumed in-person worship services. Please note the following:
- Our order of service will remain as it has been for the past 15 months.
- Online worship will continue as it has been during COVID.
- Seating for everyone will be on the main floor at your own discretion.
- We will have seating for those who want to sit by families or sit in their own socially distance bubble. We will also have seating for those who wish to sit socially distant from others, and open seating.
- As you arrive, ushers will assist you in your seating preference.
- We ask that you wear a mask when you come to church. You are permitted to remove your mask if you desire when worshiping, but be mindful of others around you. If you have NOT been vaccinated or have not had a two-week period since the second vaccine shot that you not remove your mask at all.
- If you have NOT been vaccinated, we ask that you keep your mask on during the entirety of the service as well as when you enter and exit the building.
- As you enter the Narthex, you will have an opportunity to pick up the following items before coming into the sanctuary. Worship bulletin, extra mask, hand wipes, sanitizer and on First Sundays Communion elements.
- Also in the Narthex, there will be an offering stand for you to deposit your offering before entering or exiting the service.
- Restrooms are available. We ask that you limit the number of persons in the space at a time.
- The exiting of the sanctuary after service will be coordinated by the ushers. They will direct individuals row by row to avoid crowding during the exit process. We ask that you exit the sanctuary immediately and not linger in the building.
- On Sunday mornings, the church will be open for in-person Adult Christian Education classes. Classes are taught by Rev. Lackard and Minister Thompson, which will meet in the Fellowship Hall. A mask must be worn and social distance practices are required. On-line Sunday classes taught by Kathy Oliver Jones will continue to meet via Zoom.
We pray that the worship experience is enriching and that you will feel safe as we worship together U
