PRAISE CHORUSES
LORD I LIFT YOUR NAME ON HIGH
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I’m so glad You’re in my life
I’m so glad You came to save us
You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SINCE I LAID MY BURDENS DOWN
Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
Since I laid my burdens down
Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
Since I laid my burdens down
Friends don’t treat me like they used to
Since I laid my burdens down
Friends don’t treat me like they used to
Since I laid my burdens down
I feel better, so much better
Since I laid my burdens down
I feel better, so much better
Since I laid my burdens down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD
The splendor of a King closed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice, let 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
You’re the name above all names
You are worthy of all praise
And my heart will sing
How great is our God
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHANGE ME
Change me O God
Make me more like You
Change me O God
Wash me through and through
Create in me a clean heart
So that I may worship You
I need you to...
Change me
Change me
Change me
Change me
(repeat)
Change
Change
Change
Change
(repeat)
A wonderful change has come over me
Change
Change
Change
I'm so glad he changed me
A wonderful change has come over me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I REALLY LOVE THE LORD
I really love the Lord
I really love the Lord
You don't know what He's done for me
He gave me the victory
I love Him, I love Him
I really love the Lord
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTHING LIKE YOUR PRESENCE
There's nothing like Your presence, Lord
All I want is to be with You
There's nothing like Your presence, Lord
All I want is to be with You
There's nothing like Your presence, Lord
All I want is to worship You
There's nothing like Your presence, Lord
All I want is to worship You
You are God and we worship You

"There is no American history without African American history." -Sara Clarke Kaplan, Executive Director, Antiracist Research & Policy Center at American University in Washington, D.C.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Garrett A. Morgan - Garrett Morgan blazed a trail for African American inventors with his patents. In 1914, he patented a breathing device in the form of a canvas hood—a precursor to the modern gas mask. Garrett invented the first automatic three-way traffic signal system, which he eventually sold to General Electric. He was the first Black man in Cleveland, Ohio, to own a car.

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
