There is no greater truth than this,
There is no stronger love we know:
God Himself comes down to live
And makes a sinner’s heart his throne.

There is no deeper peace than this,
No other kindness can compare:
He clothes us in His righteousness.
Forever free, forever heirs.

Oh, praise the only One
Who shines brighter than ten thousand suns.
Death and hell call Him victorious,
Praise Him.
Oh, praise the One true King;
Lift it loud till earth and heaven ring,
Every crown we lay down at His feet,
Praise Him.

There is no sweeter joy than this,
There is no stronger hope we hold:
We are His forever more,
Safe, secure by Christ alone.

Oh, praise the only One…

There is no sound that’s like the song
That rises up from grateful saints.
We once were lost, but now we’re found;
One with Him, we bear His name.

Oh, praise the only One…

Come on, come in, everybody
There is a God who is worthy
Of all our praise – he alone is Lord
Come on and join with creation
Let everything shout to praise him
Glory to Christ – he’s the one who made us

Lift up your voices to heaven’s king
Bow down before his throne
Our perfect Saviour died for our sin
Hallelujah!
Praise to Jesus Christ the king

Come on, come in, all you weary
Come on and find rest with Jesus
He is the one who can heal your soul
Come on and join with the angels
Praising the Lamb who was faithful
Giving his life – he’s the one who saved us

Lift up your voices…

Come on, you saints, keep believing
Gather to hear the Lord speaking
Humble your hearts, tremble at his voice
Come in with joy for the future
He will renew heaven and earth
Jesus is Lord – he’s the one who’ll raise us

Lift up your voices…

CONFESSION
Leader: God our Father, if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, you will keep your promise and you will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from every kind of wrong. Together: Father, have mercy on us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Leader: If anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2 NIV

As surely as the dawn will come
as certain as the day
there’s comfort for the weary
hope for all who stray.
The father holds his arms out wide
and bids the sinner come
find shelter in the storm
as certain as the day
as surely as the dawn.

As surely as the dawn will come
it was for me he died
my hands drove in the nails
my selfishness, my pride.
And though my heart is black with sin
the morning light breaks through
and hope has been reborn
for mercy comes anew
as surely as the dawn

As surely as the dawn will come
we’ll rise to meet new life
redemption’s price is paid
God’s wrath is satisfied.
Now kindness is the air we breathe
forgiveness, grace will come
anew to us each morn
as certain as the day
as surely as the dawn.

I once was lost in darkest night
Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still

But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld God’s love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
O Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You

Hallelujah…
