Let Your Kingdom Come - February 28, 2010

Words and Music by Bob Kauflin

Your glorious cause, O God, engages our hearts
May Jesus Christ be known wherever we are
We ask not for ourselves but for Your renown
The cross has saved us so we pray Your Kingdom come

Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done
So that everyone might know Your name
Let Your song be heard everywhere on earth
'Til Your sovereign work on earth is done
Let Your kingdom come

Give us Your strength, O God, and courage to speak
Perform Your wondrous deeds through those who are weak
Lord, use us as You want, whatever the test
By grace we'll preach Your gospel 'til our dying breath

Come People of the Risen King - February 21, 2010

Words and music by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend

Come, people of the risen King who delight to bring Him praise
Come all and tune your hearts to sing to the Morning Star of grace
From the shifting shadows of the earth, we will lift our eyes to Him
Where steady arms of mercy reach to gather children in

Rejoice, rejoice, let every tongue rejoice
One heart, one voice
O church of Christ, rejoice

Come those whose joy is morning sun and those weeping through the night
Come those who tell of battles won and those struggling in the fight
For His perfect love will never change and His mercies never cease
But follow us through all our days with the certain hope of peace

Come young and old from every land, men and women of the faith
Come those with full or empty hands, find the riches of His grace
Over all the world His people sing, shore to shore we hear them call
The Truth that cries through every age, "Our God is all in all."

Behold the Lamb (Communion Hymn) - February 14, 2010

Words and music by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend

Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away, slain for us
And we remember the promise made
That all who come in faith find forgiveness at the cross
So we share in this bread of life, and we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of peace around the table of the King

The body of our Savior Jesus Christ, torn for you
Eat and remember the wounds that heal
The death that brings us life paid the price to make us one
So we share in this bread of life, and we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of love around the table of the King

The blodd that cleanses ev'ry stain of sin, shed for you
Drink and remember he drained death's cup
That all may enter in to receive the life of God
So we share in this bread of life, and we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of grace around the table of the King

And so with thankfulness and faith we rise to respond
And to remember our call to follow
In the steps of Christ as His body here on earth
As we share in His suffering, we proclaim Christ will come again
And we'll join in the feast of heav'n around the table of the King

By Faith - January 31, 2010

Words and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty & Stuart Townend

By faith we see the hand of God
In the light of creation's grand design
In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness
Who walk by faith and not by sight

By faith our fathers roamed the earth
With the power of His promise in their hearts
Of a holy city built by God's own hand
A place where peace and justice reign

We will stand as children of the promise
We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward
Till the race is finished and the work is done
We'll walk by faith and not by sight

By faith the prophets saw a day
When the longed-for Messiah would appear
With the power to break the chains of sin and death
And rise triumphant from the grave

By faith the church was called to go
In the power of the Spirit to the lost
To deliver captives and to preach good news
In every corner of the earth

We will stand...

By faith this mountain shall be moved
And the power of the gospel shall prevail
For we know in Christ all things are possible
For all who call upon His name

We will stand...
