PRAISE IN THE TEMPLE
CHORUS
When there's a praise in the temple and a praise in the house
You can usher in the Spirit and remove the devil out
God will open up a window and a blessing He'll pour out
When there's a praise in the temple and a praise in the house
BRIDGE
It's service time, it's service time
Enter into the gates with thanksgiving and a praise on your mind
It's service time, it's service time
Get up outta that seat
Stand up on your feet
Let's clap to the beat, it's service time
SOLO
You won't leave like you came in Jesus name
There's a blessing in this house that you can claim
All you have to do is speak it, it's in your name
You won't leave like you came in Jesus name
You won't leave like you came in Jesus name
There's a blessing waiting on you, you can claim
It's predestined and ordained, it's in your name
You wont' leave like you came in Jesus name
ALPHA & OMEGA
You are Alpha and Omega
We worship You our Lord
You are worthy to be praised
We give You all the glory
We worship You our Lord
You are worthy to be praised
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOD'S GOT A BLESSING
It makes no difference what your going through,
You're going to make it, God's going to see you through.
Hold your head up, put a smile on your face,
This is another test, it won't last always.
CHORUS
Get ready for your blessing,
Get ready for your miracle.
Get ready for your blessing,
Get ready for your miracle.
I know you've been hurting deep down inside,
Let me encourage you, it's going to be alright.
Troubles and trials come to make you strong,
Keep on believing, you keep holding on.
Repeat Chorus
God's got a blessing.
God's got a blessing.
God's got a blessing. With your name on it.
EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS
We praise You, oh Lord! We magnify Your name!
We worship You, oh Lord! We magnify Your name!
Everybody clap your hands!
This is the way we praise Him; clap your hands!
Lifting our voice, singing our song.
Praising the Lord, all the day long.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WE'RE BLESSED
Blessed! Blessed! Blessed! Blessed!
Since thou has walked uprightly as a light in a dark land
Since thou has placed in thine heart all the Lord's commands
He set thee above nations and cast thy enemies away
He's standing up within thee, so let me hear you say
We're blessed in the city
We're blessed in the field
We're blessed when we come and when we go
We cast down every stronghold
Sickness and poverty must cease
For the devil is defeated - we are blessed!
Thou believest in God only and put no confidence in man
Everything that does concern thee, you placed it in His hand
Though a host rise up against thee to try and spoil the day
They'll march in one road to harm thee, but they'll flee seven ways
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
It's gonna work in your favor
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
And around, and around, and around, and around

- 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
