PRAISE IS WHAT I DO
Praise is what I do when I want to be close to You
I lift my hands in praise
Praise is who I am, I will praise You while I can
I'll bless You at all times
CHORUS
I vow to praise You through the good and the bad
I'll praise You whether happy or sad
I'll praise You in all that I go through
Because praise is what I do
Cause I owe it all to You
Praise is what I do even when I'm going through
I've learned to worship You
No my circumstance doesn't even stand a chance
My praise outweighs the bad
REPEAT CHORUS

EVERY PRAISE
Every praise is to our God
Every word of worship on one accord
Every praise, every praise is to our God
Sing Hallelujah to our God
Glory Hallelujah is due our God
Every praise, every praise is to our God
God my savior
God my healer
God my deliverer
Yes He is! Yes He is!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOD PROVIDES
God provides, so why do I worry about my life
When you come to my rescue a thousand times
Every other voice it is a lie
God provides
God provides in ways I can't explain and can't deny
The little that I have he multiplies
Just when I feel he won't show up on time
God provides
He'll come through
When the clouds of doubt rain down on you
And test everything you thought you knew
Now you finally see what God can do for you
So tonight, close your eyes, there's no more need to fight
Watch God provide
God provides. It's hard to say when there's no food to eat
Or what you see feels all that life will be
And will this be another year of misery, for me
But my faith, can't survive on just things I see
And my feelings can't control my destiny
See God I only want what you believe, for me
So tonight, close your eyes, there's no more need to fight
Watch God provide
God provides (He will provide)
God provides (before your eyes)
God provides (oh, He will, He will)...provides
So tonight, close your eyes, there's no more need to fight
Watch God provide
God provides (He will provide)
God provides (before your eyes, He will)
God provides (whatever your need, I know that he will provide)
God provides (yes, He'll step right in, in the nick of time, yes He will)
God provides (he'll open the windows of heaven)
God provides (and pour you out a blessing, you won't have room to receive, yeah)
So tonight, close your eyes, there's no more need to fight
Watch God provide

Wednesday Night Bible Study
It is the study of God's word that will get us through these difficult times. Why not join us on Wednesday nights at 7:30 pm by zoon as we study together. Starting on Wednesday, February 16th we will start a new study: The Book of 1 Samuel
Samuel was a transitional leader between the time of the judges and the reigns of the kings. He was heroic as a servant who heard the call of God in his life and sought to be obedient during times of crisis. God used him to appoint the first king of Israel...King Saul....It was after king Saul's disobedience and failure to obey God that Samuel stepped in to right the ship.Why not take this journey in study of God's word: Hannah's prayer,Eli the priest and his wicked sons,the capture and return of the Ark of the Covenant,David and his exploits and let's not forget Saul's campaign against David and subsequent death with David becoming the new King.
Join us on Wednesday nights starting February 16th at 7:30 PM
