Hymn of the Month: We Believe (Apostles’ Creed) by Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, Stuart Townend
Benediction
Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon the throne:
Hark! how the heav’nly anthem drowns
All music but its own!
Awake, my soul and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Thru all eternity.
Crown Him the Lord of love:
Behold His hands and side—
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his wond’ring eye
At mysteries so bright.
Crown Him the Lord of life:
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
Who rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die.
Crown Him the Lord of heav’n:
One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit thru Him giv’n
From yonder glorious throne.
To Thee be endless praise,
For Thou for us hast died;
Be Thou, O Lord, thru endless days
Adored and magnified.
Jesus Shall Reign
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blessed.
Chorus:
To our King be highest praise,
Rising through eternal days;
Just and faithful—He shall reign.
Jesus shall reign!
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early praises to His Name.
Chorus
Let every creature rise and bring
Blessing and honor to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud amen!
Chorus x 2
I Will Glory in My Redeemer
I will glory in my Redeemer
Whose priceless blood has ransomed me
Mine was the sin the drove the bitter nails
And hung him on that judgment tree
I will glory in my Redeemer
Who crushed the power of sin and death
My only savior before the Holy Judge
The Lamb who is my righteousness
The Lamb who is my righteousness
I will glory in my Redeemer
My life He bought, my love He owns
I have no longings for another
I’m satisfied in Him alone
I will glory in my Redeemer
His faithfulness my standing place
Though foes are mighty and rush upon me
My feet are firm held by His grace
My feet are firm held by His grace
I will glory in my Redeemer
Who carries me on eagles’ wings
He crowns my life with lovingkindness
His triumph song I’ll ever sing
I will glory in my Redeemer
Who waits for me at gates of gold
And when He calls me it will be paradise
His face forever to behold
His face forever to behold
Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God
Holy Spirit, living Breath of God,
Breathe new life into my willing soul.
Bring the presence of the Risen Lord,
To renew my heart and make me whole.
Cause Your Word to come alive in me;
Give me faith for what I cannot see;
Give me passion for Your purity;
Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.
Holy Spirit, come abide within;
May Your joy be seen in all I do.
Love enough to cover ev’ry sin
In each thought and deed and attitude.
Kindness to the greatest and the least;
Gentleness that sows the path of peace.
Turn my striving into works of grace;
Breath of God, show Christ in all I do.
Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth,
Giving life to all that God has made.
Show Your power once again on earth;
Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways.
Let the fragrance of our prayers arise;
Lead us on the road of sacrifice,
That in unity the face of Christ
Will be clear for all the world to see.
We Believe (Apostles’ Creed)
Refrain:
We believe in one true God
Father, Spirit, Son;
One Church, one Faith, one Lord of all
His Kingdom come!
We believe in God the Father
Almighty Lord of Life;
Creator of the heavens
The earth, the sea, the sky.
And we believe in Jesus
The only Son of God;
Born of the virgin Mary
Who lived as one of us.
Refrain
We believe that Jesus suffered
Was beaten, crucified;
He died and He was buried
Entombed in darkest night.
The third day rose victorious
Ascended into Heav’n
Will one day come to judge us,
The living and the dead.
Refrain
We believe in God the Spirit
One Church empow’red by Him;
Communion of God’s people
Forgiveness of our sin.
Our bodies resurrected
To everlasting life;
To worship, love and wonder
Before the throne of Christ.
