  • Hymn #334 "Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine"

                         (All 3 verses)

    Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

    Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

    Heir of salvation, purchase of God.

    Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.


    This is my story, this is my song,

    Praising my Savior all the day long.

    This is my story, this is my song,

    Praising my Savior all the day long.


    Perfect submission, perfect delight,

    Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.

    Angels descending bring from above

    Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.


    This is my story, this is my song,

    Praising my Savior all the day long.

    This is my story, this is my song,

    Praising my Savior all the day long.


    Perfect submission, all is at rest,

    I in my Savior are happy and blest.

    Watching and waiting, looking above

    Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.


    This is my story, this is my song,

    Praising my Savior all the day long.

    This is my story, this is my song,

    Praising my Savior all the day long.


    Hymn #333 "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms"

                         (All 3 verses)  

    What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.

    What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.


    Leaning, leaning

    Safe and secure from all alarms;

    Leaning, leaning

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.


    Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.

    Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.


    Leaning, leaning

    Safe and secure from all alarms;

    Leaning, leaning

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.


    What have I to dread, what have I to fear,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms?

    I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.


    Leaning, leaning

    Safe and secure from all alarms;

    Leaning, leaning

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.

  • "Holy Spirit"

    There's nothing worth more

    That will ever come close

    No thing can compare

    You're our living hope


    You're presence, Lord


    I've tasted and seen

    Of the sweetest of loves

    Where my heart becomes free

    And my shame is undone


    In Your presence, Lord


    Holy Spirit You are welcome here

    Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere

    Your glory God is what our hearts long for

    To be overcome by Your presence, Lord


    I've tasted and seen

    Of the sweetest of loves

    Where my heart becomes free

    And my shame is undone


    In Your presence, Lord


    Let us become more aware of Your presence

    Let us experience the glory of Your goodness


    Let us become more aware of Your presence

    Let us experience the glory of Your goodness


    Holy Spirit You are welcome here

    Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere

    Your glory God is what our hearts long for

    To be overcome by Your presence, Lord


    Holy Spirit You are welcome here

    Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere

    Your glory God is what our hearts long for

    To be overcome by Your presence, Lord
