TO GOD BE THE GLORY
VERSE 1
To God be the glory
great things He has done
So loved He the world
that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life
an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate
that all may go in
VERSE 2
O perfect redemption
the purchase of blood
To every believer
the promise of God
The vilest offender
who truly believes
That moment from Jesus
a pardon receives
CHORUS
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father
through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory
great things He has done
VERSE 3
Great things He has taught us
great things He has done
And great our rejoicing
through Jesus the Son
But purer and higher
and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport
when Jesus we see
CHORUS
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father
through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory
great things He has done

MADE ALIVE
VERSE 1
I once was dead in sin
Alone and hopeless
A child of wrath I walked
Condemned in darkness
But Your mercy
Brought new life
And in Your love and kindness
Raised me up with Christ
And made me righteous
CHORUS
You have bought me back
With the riches of
Your amazing grace
And relentless love
I’m made alive forever
With You life forever
By Your grace I’m saved
(By Your grace I’m saved)
VERSE 2
Lord, You are the light
That broke the darkness
You satisfy my soul
When I am heartless
If ever I forget
My true identity
Show me who I am
Help me to believe
CHORUS
You have bought me back
With the riches of
Your amazing grace
And relentless love
I’m made alive forever
With You life forever
By Your grace I’m saved
(By Your grace I’m saved)
BRIDGE
My sin has been erased
I’ll never be the same
My sin has been erased
I’ll never be the same
CHORUS
You have bought me back
With the riches of
Your amazing grace
And relentless love
I’m made alive forever
With You life forever
By Your grace I’m saved

Your amazing grace
And relentless love
I’m made alive forever
With You life forever

Confession and Gospel Reminder
Matthew Parks
HE WILL HOLD ME FAST
VERSE 1
When I fear my faith will fail
Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail
He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold
Through life’s fearful path
For my love is often cold
He must hold me fast
CHORUS
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
VERSE 2
Those He saves are His delight
Christ will hold me fast
Precious in His holy sight
He will hold me fast
He’ll not let my soul be lost
His Promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost
He must hold me fast
CHORUS
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
Verse 3
For my life He bled and died
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied
He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life
He will hold me fast
Till our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last
CHORUS
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
CHORUS
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
IS HE WORTHY?
VERSE 1
Do you feel the world is broken
We do
Do you feel the shadows deepen
We do
But do you know that all
the dark won’t stop the light
from getting through
We do
Do you wish that you could
see it all made new
We do
VERSE 2
Is all creation groaning
It is
Is a new creation coming
It is
Is the glory of the Lord
to be the light within
our midst
It is
Is it good that we remind
ourselves of this
It is
CHORUS 1
Is anyone worthy
Is anyone whole
Is anyone able to break the
seal and open the scroll
The Lion of Judah
who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb
who died to ransom the slave
Is He worthy
Is He worthy of all blessing
and honor and glory
Is He worthy of this
He is
VERSE 3
Does the Father truly love us
He does
Does the Spirit move among us
He does
And does Jesus our Messiah
hold forever those He loves
He does
Does our God intend to dwell
again with us
He does
CHORUS 2
Is anyone worthy
Is anyone whole
Is anyone able to break the
seal and open the scroll
The Lion of Judah
who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb
who died to ransom the slave
From every people and tribe
every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom
and priests to God to reign
with the Son
Is He worthy
Is He worthy of all blessing
and honor and glory
Is He worthy
Is He worthy
Is He worthy of this
ENDING

Sermon
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 – Samuel Andres
COMMUNION
IT IS NOT DEATH TO DIE
VERSE 1
It is not death to die
To leave this weary road
And join the saints who dwell on high
Who’ve found their home with God
It is not death to close
The eyes long dimmed by tears
And wake in joy before Your throne
Delivered from our fears
CHORUS
O Jesus, conquering the grave
Your precious blood has power to save
Those who trust in You
Will in Your mercy find
That it is not death to die
Verse 2
It is not death to fling
Aside this earthly dust
And rise with strong and noble wing
To live among the just
It is not death to hear
The key unlock the door
That sets us free from mortal years
To praise You evermore
CHORUS
O Jesus, conquering the grave
Your precious blood has power to save
Those who trust in You
Will in Your mercy find
That it is not death to die
CHORUS
O Jesus, conquering the grave
Your precious blood has power to save
Those who trust in You
Will in Your mercy find
That it is not death to die
CORNERSTONE
VERSE 1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus’ name
Verse 2
When darkness seems To hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
CHORUS
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong
In the Savior’s love
Through the storm
He is Lord, Lord of all
Verse 3
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
CHORUS
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong
In the Savior’s love
Through the storm
He is Lord, Lord of all
Verse 4
When he shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless, I stand before the throne
CHORUS
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong
In the Savior’s love
Through the storm
He is Lord, Lord of all
CHORUS
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong
In the Savior’s love
Through the storm
He is Lord, Lord of all
