  • "God So Loved"

    Come all you weary, come all you thirsty

    Come to the well that never runs dry

    Drink of the water, come and thirst no more


    Well, come all you sinners, come find His mercy

    Come to the table, He will satisfy

    Taste of His goodness, find what you're looking for


    For God so loved the world that He gave us

    His one and only Son to save us

    Whoever believes in Him will live forever


    Bring all your failures, bring your addictions

    Come lay them down at the foot of the cross

    Jesus is waiting there with open arms

    Can you see His open arms


    For God so loved the world that He gave us

    His one and only Son to save us

    Whoever believes in Him will live forever

    The power of hell forever defeated

    Now it is well, I'm walking in freedom

    For God so loved, God so loved the world


    Praise God, praise God

    From whom all blessings flow

    Praise Him, praise Him

    For the wonders of His love

    Praise God, praise God

    From whom all blessings flow

    Praise Him, praise Him

    For the wonders of His love

    His amazing love


    For God so loved the world that He gave us

    His one and only Son to save


    For God so loved the world that He gave us

    His one and only Son to save us

    Whoever believes in Him will live forever

    Oh, the power of hell forever defeated

    Now it is well, I'm walking in freedom

    For God so loved, God so loved the world


    Bring all your failures, bring your addictions

    Come lay them down at the foot of the cross

    Jesus is waiting, God so loved the world

    (repeat)

    "Your Love Never Fails"

    Higher than the mountains that I face

    Stronger than the power of the grave

    Constant in the trial and the change

    One thing remains

    One thing remains


    Your love never fails, never gives up

    Never runs out on me

    Your love never fails, never gives up

    Never runs out on me

    Your love never fails, never gives up

    Never runs out on me


    And on and on and on and on it goes

    It overwhelms and satisfies my soul

    And I never, ever, have to be afraid

    One thing remains

    One thing remains


    Your love never fails, never gives up

    Never runs out on me

    Your love never fails, never gives up

    Never runs out on me

    Your love never fails, never gives up

    Never runs out on me


    In death, in life, I'm confident and covered by

    The power of Your great love

    My debt is paid, there's nothing that can

    Separate my heart from Your great love


    Your love never fails, never gives up

    Never runs out on me

    Your love never fails, never gives up

    Never runs out on me

    Your love never fails, never gives up

    Never runs out on me


    Your love

    Welcome and Prayer - Pastor Jon Casteel

  • Hymn #52 "He Leadeth Me! O Blessed Thought"

    He leadeth me! O blessed thought!

    O words with heavenly comfort fraught!

    Whatever I do, wherever I be, 

    Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me!


    He leadeth me, He leadeth me,

    By His own hand He leadeth me

    His faithful follower I would be,

    For by His hand He leadeth me


    Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,

    Sometimes when Eden's bowers bloom,

    By waters still, o'er troubled sea,

    Still 'tis His Hand that leadeth me!


    He leadeth me, He leadeth me,

    By His own hand He leadeth me

    His faithful follower I would be,

    For by His hand He leadeth me


    Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,

    Nor ever murmur nor repine,

    Content, whatever lot I see,

    Since 'tis Thy hand that leadeth me!


    He leadeth me, He leadeth me,

    By His own hand He leadeth me

    His faithful follower I would be,

    For by His hand He leadeth me


    And when my task on earth is done,

    When, by Thy grace, the vict'ry's won,

    E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,

    Since God thro' Jordan leadeth me!


    He leadeth me, He leadeth me,

    By His own hand He leadeth me

    His faithful follower I would be,

    For by His hand He leadeth me

    Fellowship #422 "Surely Goodness and Mercy"

    A pilgrim was I, and a wand'ring

    In the cold night of sin I did roam

    When Jesus the kind Shepherd found me,

    And now I am on my way home


    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

    All the days, all the days of my life

    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

    All the days, all the days of my life

    Hymn #212 " I Love You, Lord"

    I love You, Lord, and I lift my voice

    To worship You O my soul, rejoice!

    Take joy, my King, in what You hear

    May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.

    (repeat)

  • Invitation "Come as You Are"

    Come out of sadness from wherever you've been

    Come broken-hearted let rescue begin

    Come find your mercy O sinner come kneel

    Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal

    Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal


    So, lay down your burdens, lay down your shame

    All who are broken, lift up your face

    O wanderer come home, You're not too far

    So, lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

    Come as you are


    There's hope for the hopeless and all those who've strayed

    Come sit at the table, come taste the grace

    There's rest for the weary, rest that endures

    Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't cure


    So, lay down your burdens, lay down your shame

    All who are broken, lift up your face

    O wanderer come home, You're not too far

    So, lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

    Come as you are


    There's joy for the morning, O sinner be still

    Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal

    Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal


    So, lay down your burdens, lay down your shame

    All who are broken, lift up your face

    O wanderer come home, You're not too far

    So, lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

    Come as you are


    So, lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

    Come as you are
