For You have chosen us (to celebrate)
You have chosen us (in this offering)
You have chosen us
to be adopted as sons and daughters of God (2x)
Written by John Newton, 1779, Music by Penny Seaberg
Words by John Newton, music by Penny Seaberg
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear
It soothes their sorrows, heals their wounds,
And drives away each fear.
He makes the wounded spirit whole
And calms each troubled breast
He’s manna to the hungry soul
And to the weary rest
Dear Name! The Rock on which I build
My shield and hiding place
My never failing treasury
Filled with boundless stores of grace
Interlude
You are worthy, worthy, worthy of all praise
Jesus my shepherd, husband, friend
My Prophet, Priest and king
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End
Accept the praise I bring
Written by Paul Lanser
A sweeter fragrance has never been known,
purest beauty is yours alone.
When I think that Purest Love,
came to earth, to sinful man,
counting the cost not too great a price.
Darkened hearts, like blackest night, washed in the love of your purest light,
How great your love!
In beauty, you’re light inapproachable,
In love, you’re unequaled for all time.
In fragrance, the world has never known,
the likes of your perfume; Holy perfume.
A brighter light has never shown,
reigning splendor is yours alone.
King of heaven, in honor You stand,
reigning now, forever more,
You’re coming back to bring us home,
To live with You, in the splendor of,
eternal life in your light of love,
How great Your love!
Holy perfume, Holy
Holy perfume, Holy
There’s fire in Your eyes, Yeshua,
fire in Your gaze, only Son of God,
There’s fire in your eyes, Yeshua,
fire in Your heart, for Your name’s sake.
You will be worshipped,
You will be worshipped,
You will be worshipped alone,
You alone will we praise

To this broken world You came,
All to remember love.
In this broken world you lived, Yeshua.
Though the world was made through You,
You were not received.
Though You came unto Your own, they did not see.
You are Perfect Suffering, Perfect Peace,
Son of God and Son of Man,
Perfect Humility, You are longsuffering,
No longer hidden, we proclaim You
Messiah, Messiah,
Messiah, Messiah,
Worthy of glory, worthy of highest praise,
We bow before You, we’re living for your praise,
You are Messiah, Messiah,
Messiah, Messiah,
Messiah, For our sins, you were crushed
Messiah, For our sins, were sacrificed
Messiah, You purchased with so great a price
Messiah, Purchased our eternal life with You.

My heart’s in anguish within me
The terrors of death assail me
Fear and trembling have beset me
Horror has overwhelmed me
Refrain
O that I’d wings of a dove
I would fly away and be
Fly away and be at rest
Bridge:
But I call out to God
And the Lord saves me
Evening, morning, and noon
I cry out in my distress
And He hears my voice
Ancient Irish song, arranged by Paul Lanser
Be Thou, my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light,
Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my vision, Thou my great delight,
Be Thou my vision, in You I take delight.
You delight in us, O God,
We delight in You.
We delight in You, O Father,
All our fountains are in You.
Written by Aggie Cook

I will not be afraid
I will not be afraid
I will not be afraid
With the Lord watching over me

When everything else is fading away
Only you, only you remain
When everything else is fading away
Only you remain
You remain, You remain
You are constant in your affections toward me
You are constant in your love
Over and over and over I run
I run, I run to you
Oh when life is hard I run to you
And when life is good I run to you
You remain, you remain
Traditional Hymn from the 1600s,
