Worship is not just about singing,

celebrating, it is to train our hearts for

ALL DAY SURRENDER, to thank God allday because of his MERCY

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us

shout aloud to the rock of our salvation

Let us come before him withthanksgiving and extol him with music

For the Lord is the great God, the greatKing above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth,

and the mountain peaks belong to him.

For he is our God and we are the people

of his pasture, the flock under his care
