Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus – Words: Helen H. Lemmel (1922), Music: David A. Cover
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
Instrumental: Sojourner’s Song by The Crossing Music
Grace Undeserved by The Crossing Music
Son of God who came to save
a life that’s led without faith,
giving grace, that’s undeserved.
Help me live by your word.
Help me live by your word.
His Loving-Kindness – Words: Samuel Medley (1782), Additional Words: David A. Cover, Music: Christine Cover and David A. Cover
Often I feel my sinful heart
prone from my Savior to depart;
but though I have him oft’ forgot,
His loving kindness changes not!
How precious is your steadfast love, eternal Lord of all.
In you is life, is true delight;
I choose to rest in love.
Forever by Chris Tomlin
Give thanks to the Lord,
our God and King,
His love endures forever;
He is good, He is above all things,
His love endures forever;
Sing praise, sing praise.
David lead us through a a corporate time of reflection based on the following verses.
Psalm 118:28-29
You are my God, and I will praise you;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
Micah 7:18
Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus,
the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
I Want to Run by The Crossing Music featuring Rahlo
Let us throw off everything that hinders
and the sin that so easily entangles,
and let us run with perseverance
the race marked out for us.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.
I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, Jesse Reeves and Matt Maher
Jesus has overcome
and the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead.
I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain.
I will rise on eagle’s wings,
before my God fall on my knees and rise.
