PRAISE CHORUSES
WONDERFUL IS YOUR NAME
All of my life I've never known You to fail
You remain the same and wonderful is Your name
All of my life I've never known You to fail
You remain the same and wonderful is Your name
You woke me up this morning, started me on my way
You put food on my table, You brought joy to my day
I'm glad Your love has never changed
And wonderful, and wonderful, and wonderful
Wonderful is Your name
VAMP
For the rest of my life, I'll serve Him
For the rest of my life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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!
HERE I AM TO WORSHIP
Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness
Open my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope for a life spent with Thee
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days, O so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love’s sake became poor
I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LEAD ME, GUIDE ME
Lead me, guide me along the way
For if You lead me I cannot stray
Lord let me walk each day with Thee
Lead me O Lord, lead me
I am weak and I need Thy strength and power
To help me o'er my weakest hour
Help me through the darkness, Lord thy face to see
O lead me, O Lord, lead me
BLESSED ASSURANCE
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood
CHORUS
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior, am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BREATHE ON ME
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Holy Ghost power breathe on me
Yesterday's gone, today I'm in need
Holy Ghost power breathe on me
Rain on me, rain on me
Holy Ghost shower rain on me
Yesterday's gone, today I'm in need
Holy Ghost shower rain on me
Burn in me, burn in me
Holy Ghost fire burn in me
Yesterday's gone, today I'm in need
Holy Ghost fire
Holy Ghost shower
Holy Ghost power breathe on me
Breathe on me . . .

Giving from the Heart
The Junior Church Ministry invites you and your families to join our students and teachers in our project of support and care "Giving from the Heart". We will be collecting donations to help Pathways Family Shelter. The items that are in great need at the shelter are; toiletries, diapers, baby wipes and gift cards. This will help those families who arrive at the shelter without anything at all. On December 5th a basket will be placed in the Narthex of the church for the donations, this will be the only day that the basket will be available for donations. Please consider opening your heart to those many families in need by making a donation. Thank you!
