Lead:

Lyrics:

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see!

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved!
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days (we've no less days) to sing God's praise (to sing God's praise)
Than when we first begun!

Begun, begun
Amazing grace

Obey Him

Words and music: Jason McKenney © 1999 Mackrover Songs (BMI)
Arrangement: Jason Overstreet © 1999 Mackrover Songs (BMI)
Lead:

Lyrics:

Chorus 1:
How can I show Him love, I obey Him
How can I show the One from above my love
Obey Him
How can I show Him love, I obey Him
How can I show the One from above my love
Obey Him (I will obey Him)

For He did not write these words for me just to read
He calls me (He calls me), He calls me to obey
So by faith I trust in You as I do what You say
Not (no-no-no) by my might but Yours (I will obey Him)

Chorus 2:
How can I show Him love, I obey Him (I will obey Him)
How can I show the One from above my love
Obey Him
How can I show Him love, I obey Him (How can I show Him love)
How can I show the One from above my love
Obey Him

Now my hope is set on You, my gaze is fixed and straight
I'm looking, I'm looking up to You
Then you take my hand and say
My son walk this way, not (no-no-no), not by your strength but Mine

Bridge:
Lord I truly thank You for Your mercy in my life
By Your grace I'll live eternally in Your care
There's so much more to living now

Repeat Chorus 1

Repeat Chorus 2

How can I show Him love

Scriptural Reference:

"But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him."  1 John 2:5

Rescue

Words and music: Chad Krober © 1999 Mackrover Songs (BMI)
Lead:

Lyrics:

In times of trial, when all I know is fear
I'm sinking in the mire, and the waters swallow me
And the flood sweeps down, and I just can't hear

My throat is parched, my eyes they grow dim
And I'm weary from crying
Oh Lord, mighty are those who destroy me
And those who attack me with lies

Chorus:
You come to my rescue, oh rescue
You're my rescue, oh rescue

You are my comfort (comfort)
You are my right hand (right hand)
You are my fortress (fortress)
And I run to you
And then you take me in
And then you lift me up again

Repeat Chorus

You come to my rescue
You come to my rescue

Scriptural Reference:

"Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me."  Psalm 31:2

I Will Rise

Words and music: Jason Overstreet © 1999 Mackrover Songs (BMI)
Lead:

Lyrics:

He'll make us broken bread and poured out wine
Just to feed the needs of them
If we bow on bended knee before the Lord (oh Lord)

Why do they gather at the place where they see the Father's face
And look intently as the leaders take their place
As the service is begun they stand and sing the praise of One
Who will be revealed by those who speak and sing His praise

Who will rise and let the Father fill His words
Who will rise, who will rise, to see the truth of Him be heard
And who will rise, who will rise, and see the thousands to be fed
Knowing to you the Lord has said, will you rise (will you rise)

Chorus:
And I will rise (I will rise to the occasion) to the occasion
(I will rise) I will rise from my knees and trust the Lord
I will rise and run the race He's shown us
I will (rise), I will rise and magnify the Lord (oh Lord)

Bridge:
The people need to hear there's no need for fear
We are here to share He is near to care
The time has come to open to the One, His Son
The Lord has called us in to show a life from sin can be redeemed by Him
The cry of our hearts is their soul to win (to win, to win, to win)

Repeat Chorus

And I will rise (I will rise to the occasion) to the occasion
(I will rise) I will rise from my knees and trust the Lord
I will rise
I will rise and magnify the Lord (I will rise, I will rise for my Lord, I will rise, I will rise from bended knee)
I will rise (I will rise, I will rise for my Lord, I will rise, I will rise from bended knee)
I will rise (I will rise, I will rise for my Lord, I will rise, I will rise from bended knee)
I will rise (I will rise, I will rise, I will rise)

He'll make us broken bread and poured out wine
Just to feed the needs of them
If we only bow our knees before the Lord

Scriptural Reference:

"Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:8

By His Hand

Words and music: Matt Lusk © 1999 Mackrover Songs (BMI)
Arrangement: Jason Overstreet © 1999 Mackrover Songs (BMI)
Lead:

Lyrics:

By His hand we are healed
By His Word, truth revealed
By His grace (yes) we can be born again (born again, be born again)
Oh there is rest in His wing that's why we sing (oh yes there is rest, that's why we sing)
Yeah the Lord's comin' back and ya know I'm gonna be with Him (be with Him)

Well the Lord has a Book
I decided I'd do whatever it took
To get my name upon that golden page (that golden page)
Oh but the Lord said to me if you wanna be free
Love Me with all your heart it ain't hard boy can't you see (can't you see)

Well I heard of heaven above
Yeah I heard of heavenly love
But I never believed it'd come to me (come to me)
Until that day He touched my heart that's when I made the start
Love the Lord for who He is now that's the very best part (the best part)

Now my death I used to fear
'Cause I was sure that it was near
And I thought my soul could not be saved
But now when that trumpet sounds my soul is glory bound
And I know that in heaven that the devil won't be comin' around

By His hand we are healed
By His Word, truth revealed
By His grace (yes) we can be born again (born again, be born again)
Oh there is rest in His wing that's why we sing (oh yes there is rest, that's why we sing)
Yeah the Lord's comin' back and ya know I'm gonna be
Yeah the Lord's comin' back and ya know I'm gonna be
Yeah the Lord's comin' back and ya know I'm gonna be with Him

Scriptural Reference:

"You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance- the place, O Lord, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, your hands established."  Exodus 15:17
