Lyrics for Worship Songs
“Jesus Messiah
Verse 1
He became sin, who knew no sin
That we might become His righteousness
He humbled himself and carried the cross
Love so amazing, love so amazing
Chorus
Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
Verse 2
His body the bread, his blood the wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth trembled, and the veil was torn
Love so amazing, love so amazing
Chorus
Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
Bridge
All our hope is in You, all our hope is in You
All the glory to You, God, the light of the world
Chorus
Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
You’re the Lord of all
The Lord of all
“God With Us”
You are matchless in grace and mercy
There is nowhere we can hide from Your love
You are steadfast, never failing, You are faithful
All creation is in awe of who You are
You’re the healer of the sick and the broken
You are comfort for every heart in loss
Our King and our Savior forever
For eternity we will sing of all You’ve done
For eternity we will sing of all You’ve done
We sing
Chorus
God with us, God for us
Nothing can come against
No one can stand between us
God with us, God for us
Nothing can come against
No one can stand between us
Your heart, it moves with compassion
There is life, there is healing in Your love
You’re the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit
For eternity we will sing of all You’ve done
We sing
Chorus
God with us, God for us
Nothing can come against
No one can stand between us
God with us, God for us
Nothing can come against
No one can stand between us
Where there was death, You brought life, Lord
Where there was fear, You brought courage
When I was afraid, You were with me
And You lifted me up, and You lifted me up (x3)
And You lifted me up, and You lifted me up
And You lifted me up, and You lifted me up We sing
Chorus
God with us, God for us
Nothing can come against
No one can stand between us
God with us, God for us
Nothing can come against
No one can stand between us
“Only a Holy God”
Who else commands all the hosts of heaven
Who else could make every king bow down
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles
Only a Holy God
What other beauty demands such praises
What other splendor outshines the sun
What other majesty rules with justice
Only a Holy God
Chorus-Come and behold Him
The One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy
Forever a Holy God
Come and worship the Holy God
What other glory consumes like fire
What other power can raise the dead
What other name remains undefeated
Only a Holy God
Chorus-Come and behold Him
The One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy
Forever a Holy God
Come and worship the Holy God (x2)
Who else could rescue me from my failing
Who else would offer His only Son
Who else invites me to call Him Father
Only a Holy God
Only my Holy God!
Chorus-
“My Worth is Not in what I Own””
Verse 1
My worth is not in what I own
Not in the strength of flesh and bone
But in the costly wounds of love- At the cross
Verse 2
My worth is not in skill or name
In win or lose, in pride or shame
But in the blood of Christ that flowed
At the cross
Chorus
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure
Wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other
My soul is satisfied in Him alone
Verse 3
As summer flowers we fade and die
Fame, youth and beauty hurry by
But life eternal calls to us
At the cross
Verse 4
I will not boast in wealth or might
Or human wisdom’s fleeting light
But I will boast in knowing Christ
At the cross
Chorus
Verse 5
Two wonders here that I confess
My worth and my unworthiness
My value fixed, my ransom paid
At the cross
Chorus x2
“This We Know”
You are Who You say You are
You’ll do what You say You’ll do
You’ll be Who You’ve always been to us
Jesus
Our hope is in You alone
Our strength in Your mighty Name
Our peace in the darkest day remains
Jesus
Chorus
This we know
We will see the enemy run
This we know
We will see the victory come
We hold on to every promise You ever made
Jesus, You are unfailing
Our God through the wilderness
And our joy in the heaviness
Our way when it seems there is no way
Jesus
Chorus
Bridge
We trust You,
We trust You
Your ways are higher than our own
X4
Chorus X2
Jesus, You are unfailing X2
SCRIPTURE READING
Romans 2:28 – 3:22
28 For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision. 29 No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.
22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.

Practice Guide for Imaginative Prayer
- Pick a story from scripture, the gospels are particularly suitable because there are scenes and parables that lend themselves well to the imagination. Before you begin the first reading, invite the Holy Spirit to guide your imagination.
- Read through the scripture once or listen to it read out loud. In the first reading, begin to picture the setting and the characters. Close your eyes if that’s helpful to you. Linger on the scene. Notice details like the colors, sounds, and smells. Notice what the different characters are. Who else is in the scene even if they aren’t speaking?
- Read or listen to the scripture a second time. Notice details that stand out. Things that seem surprising. How different characters are likely to be feeling? What questions might they be asking?
- Now, begin to locate yourself in the story. Who do you identify with in the story? Sit with their emotions and questions and allow the Holy Spirit to help you identify what is going on in your life that is allowing you to connect with this character.
- Now imagine Jesus interacting with this scene. Feel free to have a conversation with him about what the Holy Spirit is highlighting. Remember to pause to let Jesus respond to you.
- Read or listen to the scripture a third time when you are ready, to close your time of prayer.
