Singing: Behold Our God

Verse 1
Who has held the oceans in his hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at his voice
All creation rises to rejoice

Chorus 1
Behold our God, seated on his throne
Come let us adore him
Behold our king, nothing can compare
Come let us adore him

Verse 2
Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of his words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things?
Who can fathom all his wondrous deeds?

Chorus 1
Behold our God, seated on his throne
Come let us adore him
Behold our king, nothing can compare
Come let us adore him

Verse 3
Who has felt the nails upon his hands?
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man
God eternal humbled to the grave
Jesus saviour risen now to reign

Chorus 1
Behold our God, seated on his throne

Come let us adore him
Behold our king, nothing can compare
Come let us adore him

Let your glory fill the earth (Ladies)

Let your glory fill the earth (Ladies)
You will reign forever (Men)
Let your glory fill the earth (Ladies)
You will reign forever (Men)
Let your glory fill the earth (Ladies)

Come let us adore…

Singing: God Is For Us

CityAlight

Verse 1
We won’t fear the battle
We won’t fear the night
We will walk the valley
with you by our side
You will go before us
You will lead the way
We have found a refuge
Only you can save

Sing with joy now; our God is for us
The Father’s love is a strong and mighty fortress
Raise your voice now, no love is greater
Who can stand against us if our God is for us?

Verse 2
Even when I stumble
Even when I fall
Even when I turn back
Still your love is sure
You will not abandon,
You will not forsake
You will cheer me onward
With never-ending grace

Sing with joy now; our God is for us
The Father’s love is a strong and mighty fortress
Raise your voice now, no love is greater
Who can stand against us if our God is for us?

Neither height nor depth can separate us
Hell and death will not defeat us
He who gave his Son to free us
Holds me in his love

Singing: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Frederick Hedge and Martin Luther

Verse 1
A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe
His craft and pow’r are great
And armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal

Verse 2
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side
The Man of God’s own choosing
You ask who that may be
Christ Jesus it is he
The Lord of Hosts his name
From age to age the same
And he must win the battle

Verse 3
And tho’ this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God has willed
His truth to triumph thru’ us
The prince of darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him

Verse 4
That word above all earthly pow’rs
No thanks to them abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through him who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill
God’s truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever

Singing: Jerusalem

Jonny Robinson and Rich Thompson

Verse 1
See him in Jerusalem
Walking where the crowds are
Once these streets had sung to him
Now they cry for murder
Such a frail and lonely man
Holding up the heavy cross
See him walking in Jerusalem
On the road to save us

Verse 2
See him there upon the hill
Hear the scorn and laughter
Silent as a lamb he waits
Praying to the Father
See the king who made the sun
And the moon and shining stars
Let the soldiers hold and nail him down
So that he could save them

Verse 3
See him there upon the cross
Now no longer breathing
Dust that formed the watching crowds
Takes the blood of Jesus
Feel the earth is shaking now
See the veil is split in two
And he stood before the wrath of God
Shielding sinners with his blood

Verse 4
See the empty tomb today
Death could not contain him
Once the servant of the world
Now in vict’ry reigning
Lift your voices to the one
Who is seated on the throne
See him in the new Jerusalem
Praise the one who saved us

Tag
Lift your voices to the one
Who is seated on the throne
See him in the new Jerusalem
Praise the one who saved us
Praise the one who saved us
