  • His Mercy Is More

    VERSE 1
    What love could remember, no wrongs we have done
    Omniscient, all-knowing, He counts not their sum
    Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

    CHORUS
    Praise the Lord
    His mercy is more
    Stronger than darkness
    New every morn’
    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

    VERSE 2
    What patience would wait as we constantly roam
    What Father so tender is calling us home
    He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more (CHORUS)

    VERSE 3
    What riches of kindness He lavished on us
    His blood was the payment His life was the cost
    We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford
    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more (CHORUS)

  • Ye That Pass By

    VERSE 1
    All ye that pass by, to Jesus draw nigh:
    To you is it nothing that Jesus should die?
    Our ransom and peace, Our surety He is:
    Come, see if there ever was sorrow like His. 

    CHORUS 1
    For what we have done His blood must atone:
    The Father hath punished for us His dear Son. 

    VERSE 2
    He dies to atone for sins not His own;
    Your debt He hath paid, and your work He hath done.
    Ye all may receive the peace He did leave,
    Who made intercession, “My Father, forgive!” (CHORUS 2) 

    CHORUS 2
    For what we have done His blood must atone:
    The Father hath punished for us His dear Son.
    The Lord, in the day of His anger, did lay
    Your sins on the Lamb, and He bore them away. 

    BRIDGE
    His death is my plea; my Advocate see,
    And hear the blood speak that hath answered for me.
    My ransom He was when He bled on the cross;
    And losing His life He hath carried my cause. (CHORUS 1)

  • How Marvelous

    VERSE 1
    I stand amazed in the presence
    of Jesus the Nazarene,
    and wonder how he could love me,
    a sinner, condemned, unclean. 

    CHORUS
    How marvelous! How wonderful!
    And my song shall ever be:
    How marvelous! How wonderful
    Is my Savior’s love for me! 

    VERSE 2
    For me it was in the garden
    he prayed: “Not my will, but thine.”
    He had no tears for his own griefs,
    but sweat-drops of blood for mine. 

    VERSE 3
    In pity angels beheld him,
    and came from the world of light
    to comfort him in the sorrows
    he bore for my soul that night. (CHORUS) 

    VERSE 4
    He took my sins and my sorrows,
    he made them his very own;
    he bore the burden on Calvary,
    and suffered and died alone. 

    VERSE 5
    When with the ransomed in glory
    his face I at last shall see,
    ‘twill be my joy through the ages
    to sing of his love for me. (CHORUS) 

  • I Will Wait for You (Psalm 130)

    VERSE 1
    Out of the depths I cry to You
    In darkest places I will call
    Incline Your ear to me anew
    And hear my cry for mercy, Lord

    VERSE 2
    Were You to count my sinful ways
    How could I come before Your throne
    Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze
    I stand redeemed by grace alone 

    CHORUS 1
    I will wait for You
    I will wait for You
    On Your word, I will rely
    I will wait for You
    Surely wait for You
    Till my soul is satisfied

    VERSE 3
    So put your hope in God alone
    Take courage in His power to save
    Completely and forever won
    By Christ emerging from the grave (CHORUS 1)

    VERSE 4  
    Now He has come to make a way
    And God Himself has paid the price
    That all who trust in Him today
    Find healing in His sacrifice (CHORUS 2)

    CHORUS 2
    I will wait for You
    I will wait for You
    Through the storm and through the night
    I will wait for You
    Surely wait for You
    For Your love is my delight

  • It Is Finished

    VERSE 1
    There’s no deed that can redeem us,
    There’s no rite, nor magic word
    Only by the work of Jesus,
    Can salvation be secured 

    CHORUS
    It is finished! He has done it!
    Let your weary heart rejoice!
    Our redemption is accomplished;
    Raise a shout with ragged voice.
    And go bravely into battle,
    knowing he has won the war
    It is finished, lift your head
    And weep no more 

    VERSE 2
    There’s no sacrifice to offer,
    there’s no penance to complete
    Freely drink of living water,
    without money come and feast 

    BRIDGE
    Let every sinner rejoice!
    Hear the dying victor’s cry
    Raise – up – your – voice
    Sing it out through earth and sky 

  • Jesus Shall Reign Where’er the Sun

    VERSE 1
    Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
    does its successive journeys run,
    his kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
    till moons shall wax and wane no more.

    VERSE 2
    To him shall endless prayer be made,
    and praises throng to crown his head.
    His name like sweet perfume shall rise
    with every morning sacrifice.

    VERSE 3
    People and realms of every tongue
    dwell on his love with sweetest song,
    and infant voices shall proclaim
    their early blessings on his name.

    VERSE 4
    Blessings abound where’er he reigns:
    the prisoners leap to lose their chains,
    the weary find eternal rest,
    and all who suffer want are blest.

    VERSE 5
    Let every creature rise and bring
    the highest honors to our King,
    angels descend with songs again,
    and earth repeat the loud amen.

  • 5:21

    VERSE 1
    Our guilt was placed securely on His shoulders
    Our lives are sown in sin, O the price is high!
    His body bloodied and his Name reviled
    It was for us, though God, He bled and died! 

    CHORUS
    All my sin and shame
    Went to the Lamb that was slain;
    And all His righteousness has come to me!
    His grace so great and free
    Given to all who will believe;
    Come all who thirst and drink, drink freely!

    VERSE 2
    The wrath of God is coming for the wicked
    Where can we hide from His Holy sight?
    We run unto the Lamb that’s slain for safety
    He drank the cup to make us reconciled!

    BRIDGE
    We’re so wicked
    That He had to die
    Yet, so loved that
    He was willing to give up his life

  • All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name

    VERSE 1
    All hail the power of Jesus’ name! 
    Let angels prostrate fall.
    Bring forth the royal diadem,
    and crown him Lord of all.
    Bring forth the royal diadem,
    and crown him Lord of all!

    VERSE 2 
    O seed of Israel’s chosen race

    now ransomed from the fall, 

    hail him who saves you by his grace,
 and crown him Lord of all.

    Hail him who saves you by his grace,
 and crown him Lord of all!

    VERSE 3 
    Let every tongue and every tribe responsive to his call,
    to him all majesty ascribe,
    and crown him Lord of all.
    To him all majesty ascribe,
    and crown him Lord of all!

    VERSE 4 
    Oh, that with all the sacred throng we at his feet may fall!
    We’ll join the everlasting song and crown him Lord of all.
    We’ll join the everlasting song and crown him Lord of all.

  • BITTERNESS WILL ROT YOUR SOUL BUT CHRIST WILL MAKE IT SWEET: Ruth 1:19-22

    BITTERNESS WILL ROT YOUR SOUL BUT CHRIST WILL MAKE IT SWEET: Ruth 1:19-22

    OUTLINE

    I. Naomi and Ruth returned to the Bethlehem, the House of Bread (v.19)

    II. Naomi wanted her named changed from Pleasant to Bitter because the LORD had dealt bitterly with her (v.20)

    III. Naomi looked only at her current circumstance, even misconstruing the story of her life (v.21a)

    IV. Naomi knew that it was the LORD who had brought calamity on her, though she wrongly understood why (v.21b)

    V. Despite the bitterness of Naomi, the LORD was working to redeem both her and Ruth (v.22)

    DISCUSSION Read verses 19-22.

    1. How does Naomi react when she comes home to Bethlehem?

    2. Did she respond more like Job or Job’s wife? See Job 1-2

    3. Why is verse 22 significant in the narrative of the book of Ruth?

  • Rock of Ages

    VERSE 1
    Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
    Let me hide myself in Thee
    Let the water and the blood,
    From Thy wounded side which flowed
    Be of sin the double cure,
    Save from wrath and make me pure

    VERSE 2
    Not the labor of my hands,
    can fulfill Thy law’s demands
    Should my passion never fade,
    should my efforts all be weighed
    These for sin could not atone;
    Thou must save, and Thou alone

    VERSE 3
    Nothing in my hand I bring,
    simply to the cross I cling
    Naked, come to Thee for dress;
    Helpless look to Thee for grace
    Foul, I to the fountain fly;
    Wash me, Savior, or I die

    VERSE 4
    While I draw this fleeting breath,
    when mine eyes shall close in death
    When I rise to worlds unknown,
    and behold thee on thy throne,
    Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
    Let me hide myself in Thee.
