Hymn #329 "Wonderful Grace of Jesus"
Wonderful grace of Jesus, greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it, where shall its praise begin
Taking away my burden, setting my spirit free,
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Wonderful the matchless grace, the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea, the rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me;
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious name of Jesus, Praise His name!
Wonderful grace of Jesus, reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been pardoned, saved to the uttermost;
Chains have been torn asunder, giving me liberty,
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Wonderful the matchless grace, the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea, the rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me;
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious name of Jesus, Praise His name!
Wonderful grace of Jesus, reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power, making him God's dear child.
Purchasing peace and heaven for all eternity
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Wonderful the matchless grace, the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea, the rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me;
Broader than the scope of my transgression,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious name of Jesus, Praise His name!

Fellowship Hymn #140 "Down at the Cross"
Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!
Glory to His name, glory to His name;
There to my heart was the blood applied!
Glory to His name!

Reckless Love
Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
O, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it, still You give Yourself away
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
O, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it, still You give Yourself away
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up, coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down, coming after me
(repeat)
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
O, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it, still You give Yourself away
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
(repeat)
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

"Ten Thousand Reasons"
Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
(repeat)
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still, my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten-thousand years and then forevermore
Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
(repeat)
Lord, I will worship Your holy name
Yes, I will worship Your holy name

Invitation - "Lord, I need You"
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart
(chorus)
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Where You are, Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
(Chorus)
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
(repeat)
(Chorus)
You're my one defense, my righteousness
Oh, God how I need You
