[Leader Reads Aloud]
1 I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Psalm 34: 1, 4, 8
Bless the Lord O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up
It’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass
and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes
You’re rich in love
and You’re slow to anger
Your name is great
and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons
for my heart to find
And on that day
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come
Still my soul will sing
Your praise unending
Ten thousand years
And then forevermore
Worship Your holy name
Lord I’ll worship Your holy name

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:6-7
[Leader Reads Aloud]
“Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your produce”
Proverbs 3:9
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.
14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

What gift of grace
Is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more
For heaven now to give
He is my joy
My righteousness and freedom
My steadfast love
My deep and boundless peace
To this I hold
My hope is only Jesus
For my life
Is wholly bound to His
Oh how strange and divine
I can sing all is mine
Yet not I
But through Christ in me
The night is dark
But I am not forsaken
For by my side
The Saviour He will stay
I labour on
In weakness and rejoicing
For in my need
His power is displayed
To this I hold
My Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley
He will lead
Oh the night has been won
And I shall overcome
Yet not I
But through Christ in me
No fate I dread
I know I am forgiven
The future sure
The price it has been paid
For Jesus bled
And suffered for my pardon
And He was raised
To overthrow the grave
To this I hold
My sin has been defeated
Jesus now
And ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released
I can sing I am free
Yet not I
But through Christ in me
With every breath
I long to follow Jesus
For He has said
That He will bring me home
And day by day
I know He will renew me
Until I stand
With joy before the throne
To this I hold
My hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete
Still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I
But through Christ in me
When the race is complete
Still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I
But through Christ in me
