Hymn #425 "He Keeps Me Singing"
There's within my heart a melody,
Jesus whispers sweet and low
"Fear not I am with thee, peace be still,"
In all of life's ebb and flow
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest name I know
Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go
All my life was wrecked by sin and strife
Discord filled my heart with pain
Jesus swept across the broken strings
Stirred the slumbering chords again
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest name I know
Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go
Feasting on the riches of His grace
Resting 'neath His sheltering wing
Always looking on His smiling face
That is why I shout and sing
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know
Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go
Soon He's coming back to welcome me
Far beyond the starry sky
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown
I shall reign with Him on high
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know
Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go

Fellowship Hymn #546 "Love Lifted Me"
I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help, Love lifted me
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help, Love lifted me

"Friend of God"
Who am I that You are mindful of me
That You hear me when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me
How You love me
It's amazing
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend
(repeat)
Repeat All
God Almighty, Lord of glory
You have called me friend
God Almighty, Lord of glory
You have called me friend
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
You call me friend
I am a friend of God
You call me friend

Invitation - "O Come To The Altar"
Are you hurting and broken within
Over-whelmed by the weight of your sin
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today there's no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
(repeat)
