Hymn #16 "O Worship the King"
O Worship the King, all glorious above
And gratefully sing His wonderful love
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space!
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm
Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend

Hymn #2 "Holy, Holy, Holy"
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee
Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be
Holy, holy, holy! Tho' the darkness hide Thee,
Tho' the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity
Holy, holy holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Fellowship #422 "Surely Goodness and Mercy"
A pilgrim was I, and a wandering
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

"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

"Yet Not I"
What gift of grace is Jesus my Redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to His
Oh, how strange and divine, I can sing "All is mine"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
The night is dark, but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Savior He will stay
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley He will lead
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released, I can sing "I am free"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
With every breath, I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
(repeat)
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

Invitation "Jesus, What a Savior"
Jesus, what a Savior
What a brother, what a friend
Lifter of the lowly
God, You meet me where I am
Your heart, it know no borders
Knows no walls
You're constantly moving towards me
With open arms
I've never known a love like Yours
I've never known a love like Yours, no
I've never known a love like Yours
I've never known a love like Yours
(Repeat all)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What a beautiful way You show this
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What a wonderful Savior
(repeat)
I've never known a love like Yours
I've never known a love like Yours, no
I've never known a love like Yours
I've never known a love like Yours
Jesus, what a Savior
What a brother, what a friend
Lifter of the lowly
God, You meet me where I am
