Hosanna

Praise is rising,Eyes are turning to you.We turn to you.Hope is stirring,Hearts are yearning for you,We long for you.

’Cause when we see youWe find strength to face the day.In your presenceAll our fears are washed away,Washed away.

Chorus:Hosanna, hosanna!You are the God who saves us,Worthy of all our praises.Hosanna, hosanna!Come have your way among us.We welcome you here, Lord Jesus.

Hear the sound ofHearts returning to you.We turn to you.In your kingdomBroken lives are made new.You make us new.

Songs of Worship

Postlude

Psalm 62

My soul finds rest in God alone, My rock and my salvationA fortress strong against my foes And I will not be shakenThough lips may bless and hearts may curseAnd lies like arrows pierce meI'll fix my heart on righteousness,I'll look to Him who hears me

Chorus:O praise him, hallelujah,My delight and my reward.Everlasting, never failing,My redeemer, my God.

Find rest, my soul, in God aloneAmid the world’s temptations,When evil seeks to take a holdI’ll cling to my salvation.Though riches come and riches go,Don’t set your heart upon them.The fields of hope in which I sowAre harvested in heaven.

I’ll set my gaze on God aloneAnd trust in him completely.With every day pour out my soulAnd he will prove his mercy.Though life is but a fleeting breath, A sigh too brief to measure.My king has crushed the curse of deathAnd I am his forever.

The Love of the Father

Lift up your voices and lift up your praise,Join with the heavens declaring the wonders of His faithfulness forever.

Sing of the victory, the hope of the world.The Savior has risen, the Spirit has cometo bring us into love forever.

Chorus:We are the people of GodWith the freedom of hope in our hearts.How great is the love of the Father!

Lifted from darkness and into the light,The sons and the daughters are loved at a priceOur God has made us His forever.

This is the song of the redeemed,The ransomed and the free.Given life at such a price,This is love, this is love.

And when the Father calls us home,And we see Him on the throne,Hear the voices sing as one:This is love, this is love!

We Will Feast in the House of Zion

Chorus:We will feast in the house of Zion.We will sing with our hearts restored.He has done great things, we will say together.We will feast and weep no more.

We will not be burned by the fire.He is the Lord our God.We are not consumed by the flood.Upheld, protected, gathered up.

In the dark of night, before the dawn,My soul, be not afraidFor the promised morning, oh how long? Oh God of Jacob, be my strength.

Every vow we’ve broken and betrayed.You are the faithful one.And from the garden to the graveBind us together, bring shalom.
