Verse 1
Though the tears may fall, my song will rise,
my song will rise to You.
Though my heart may fail, my song will rise,
my song will rise to You.
While there's breath in my lungs,
I will praise You, Lord.

Verse 2
In the dead of night, I'll lift my eyes,
I'll lift my eyes to You.
When the waters rise, I'll lift my eyes,
I'll lift my eyes to You.
While there's hope in this heart,
I will praise You, Lord.

Chorus
The joy of the Lord is my strength!
The joy of the Lord is my strength!
In the darkness I'll dance,
in the shadows I'll sing,
The joy of the Lord is my strength!

Verse 3
When I cannot see You with my eyes,
let faith arise to You.
When I cannot feel Your hand in mine,
let faith arise to You.
God of mercy and love,
I will praise You, Lord.

Verse 4
Oh, You shine with glory, Lord of light;
I feel alive with You.
In Your presence now, I come alive;
I am alive with You.
There is strength when I say:
I will praise You Lord!

Chorus (2x)
The joy of the Lord is my strength!
The joy of the Lord is my strength!
In the darkness I'll dance,
in the shadows I'll sing,
The joy of the Lord is my strength!

Bridge
When sorrow comes my way,
You are the shield around me.
Always, You remain,
my courage in the fight.
I hear You call my name.
Jesus, I am coming,
walking on the waves,
reaching for Your light!

Chorus (2x)
The joy of the Lord is my strength!
The joy of the Lord is my strength!
In the darkness I'll dance,
in the shadows I'll sing,
The joy of the Lord is my strength!

We believe in Jesus Christ,

as the sufficient rule both of faith and of practice.

We believe in the Church,

Verse 1
When all I see is the battle,
You see my victory.
When all I see is a mountain,
You see a mountain moved.
And as I walk through the shadow,
Your love surrounds me.
There's nothing to fear now
for I am safe with You.

Chorus
So when I fight, I'll fight on my knees
with my hands lifted high,
O God, the battle belongs to You.
And every fear I lay at Your feet,
I'll sing through the night,
O God, the battle belongs to You.

Verse 2
And if You are for me
who can be against me?
For, Jesus, there's nothing
impossible for You.
When all I see are the ashes,
You see the beauty.
When all I see is a cross,
God, You see the empty tomb.

Chorus
So when I fight, I'll fight on my knees
with my hands lifted high,
O God, the battle belongs to You.
And every fear I lay at Your feet,
I'll sing through the night,
O God, the battle belongs to You.

Bridge (3x)
Almighty Fortress, You go before us.
Nothing can stand against
the power of our God.
You shine in the shadows,
You win every battle.
Nothing can stand against
the power of our God.

Chorus
So when I fight, I'll fight on my knees
with my hands lifted high,
O God, the battle belongs to You.
And every fear I lay at Your feet,
I'll sing through the night,
O God, the battle belongs to You.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.

The Father's House (Hastings/Asbury/Hulse)

Verse 1
Sometimes on this journey
I get lost in my mistakes.
What looks to me like weakness
is a canvas for Your strength.
My story isn't over;
my story's just begun.
Failure won't define me,
'cause that's what my Father does.
Failure won't define me,
'cause that's what my Father does.

Chorus
Oo, lay your burdens down, oo,
here in the Father's house.
Check your shame at the door,
'cause it ain't welcome anymore. Oo,
you're in the Father's house.

Verse 2
Arrival's not the endgame;
the journey's where You are.
You never wanted perfect;
You just wanted my heart.
And the story isn't over
if the story isn't good.
Failure's never final
when the Father's in the room.
Failure's never final
when the Father's in the room.

Chorus
Oo, lay your burdens down, oo,
here in the Father's house.
Check your shame at the door,
'cause it ain't welcome anymore. Oo,
you're in the Father's house.

Bridge
Prodigals come home,
the helpless find hope;
love is on the move
when the Father's in the room.
Prison doors fling wide,
the dead come to life;
love is on the move
when the Father's in the room.
Miracles take place,
the cynical find faith;
love is breaking through
when the Father's in the room.
Jericho walls are quaking,
strongholds now are shaking;
love is breaking through
when the Father's in the room.
Love is breaking through
when the Father's in the room.

Chorus (2x)
Oo, lay your burdens down, oo,
here in the Father's house.
Check your shame at the door,
'cause it ain't welcome anymore. Oo,
you're in the Father's house.

⁴²They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

⁴³Awe came upon everyone because many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. ⁴⁴All who believed were together and had all things in common; ⁴⁵they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. ⁴⁶Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, ⁴⁷praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.

The word of God for the people of God.

All: Thanks be to God!

So Will I (Fatkin/Hastings/Houston)

Verse 1
God of creation, there at the start
before the beginning of time.
With no point of reference,
You spoke to the dark
and fleshed out the wonder of light.

Chorus 1
And as You speak
a hundred billion galaxies are born.
In the vapor of Your breath the planets form.
If the stars were made to worship, so will I.
I can see Your heart in everything You've made,
every burning star, a signal fire of grace.
If creation sings Your praises so will I.

Verse 2
God of Your promise, You don't speak in vain,
no syllable empty or void.
For once You have spoken,
all nature and science
follow the sound of Your voice.

Chorus 2
And as You speak,
a hundred billion creatures catch Your breath.
Evolving in pursuit of what You said.
If it all reveals Your nature, so will I.
I can see Your heart in everything You say,
every painted sky, a canvas of Your grace.
If creation still obeys You, so will I.
So will I. So will I.

Bridge 1
If the stars were made to worship, so will I.
If the mountains bow in reverence, so will I.
If the oceans roar Your greatness, so will I.
For if everything exists to lift You high, so will I.

Bridge 2
If the wind goes where You send it, so will I.
If the rocks cry out in silence, so will I.
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy,
then we'll sing again a hundred billion times.

Verse 3
God of salvation, You chased down my heart,
through all of my failure and pride.
On a hill You created, the light of the world,
abandoned in darkness to die.

Chorus 3
And as You speak,
a hundred billion failures disappear;
where You lost Your life so I could find it here.
If You left the grave behind You, so will I.
I can see Your heart in everything You've done,
every part designed in a work of art called love.
If You gladly chose surrender, so will I.
I can see Your heart eight billion different ways.
Every precious one, a child You died to save.
If You gave Your life to love them, so will I.

Ending
Like You would again a hundred billion times.
But what measure could amount to Your desire?
You're the One who never leaves the one behind.

We give thanks for all that God has already given you
and we welcome you in Christian love.

As members together with you
in the body of Christ
and in this congregation
of The United Methodist Church,

we renew our covenant
faithfully to participate
in the ministries of the Church
by our prayers, our presence,
our gifts, our service
and our witness,

that in everything God may be glorified
through Jesus Christ.
