I've Got Joy 05:04
There ain’t nobody who can take my happiness ‘Cause I’ve got a king who can heal my loneliness He took my broken heart, he made me clean, and he made me whole So I thank you Lord, I said, thank you Lord That I’ve got joy, cause Jesus died for me I’ve got joy, for all eternity! I’ve got joy, cause Jesus died for me I’ve got… JOY! I’ve got… JOY! When I am burdened with pain and utter despair I look to the Lord, who is sovereign, and he takes care When Jesus came to earth he died for me so now I’m free And the he rose again to give us life, for all eternity So I’ve got life, cause Jesus rose for me I got life, life so abundantly! I got life, cause Jesus rose for me I got… LIFE!! I got… LIFE!!

I don’t understand why A young boy like me had to die So filled with life and endless dreams But a man took him away so it seems So God please help me to understand How this can be a part of your plan? I may not be wise, but I ain’t no fool So help me know that this life ain’t the end When I see you in heaven you’ll wipe away all of my tears Then I’ll know what it feels like to see you face to face When I see you in heaven you’ll wipe away all of my tears Then I’ll know the joy that overflows my cup This life is filled with pain And it’s indifferent to your name Sometimes my heart can’t take it in But I have hope because of your only Son

May our offerings be pleasing to your ears, Be holy in your sight We repent of sins we’ve done against our kin, But we ask that you’d forgive As we come to the altar, We have a single request, That you’d come and you’d bless Bless our relationships, With our brothers and sisters, As we grow together Let it be known that we have been forgiven Let it be known that we have been forgiven We are sinners who have been redeemed Let it be known we can forgive like Him May our family be rooted in your love, Be strengthened through your pow’r We will worship you by serving one another, By putting others first As we come before our neighbors, We long for unity, we want to honor you We seek reconciliation with our brothers and sisters, as we live together Let it be known that we will love the Lord Let it be known that we will love the Lord May our lives reflect your perfect Son Let it be known that you have made us One

And I Wonder 06:30
I’ve tried so many things in my life, But I don’t understand this emptiness I feel inside. I thought these things would satisfy, But I keep coming back, to the same old doubts I tried to hide Oh the booze, the drugs, the pain Will nothing ever change or will it all just stay the same? And you wonder how I sleep at night Would I surrender to the living Christ? And you wonder if I’d die tonight Would I surrender to the living Christ? And you wonder how I sleep at night Would I surrender to the living Christ? Oh I see where you stand I used to be that man running from his plan With this God-shaped hole in my heart There was nothing that could impart This new-found joy in God Left my sin at the foot of the cross, When he redeemed me from the lost There’s something about the name Jesus He’ll wipe every tear away And I wonder how you sleep at night Would you surrender to the living Christ? And I wonder if you’d die tonight Would you surrender to the living Christ? And I wonder how you sleep at night Would you surrender to the living Christ?

When You’ve come to the end of yourself There’s no more will inside your soul You just gotta remember that he’s been faithful before When you got no strength to carry on When life seems not worth living You just gotta remember that he’s made a way before Not by our own might, not by our own strength But by your Spirit God, Send your Spirit God Your heart is filled with frustrations Your silent tears fall to the ground But God is able to turn things around The deceiver may tempt your flesh But he will not succeed cuz Christ won the victory When he defeated the grave Your love is all we need Your love is all we need Your grace is enough for me Your grace is enough for me
6.
It is well with my soul It is well with my heart No matter what this world does to me, I’ve got a king who can heal anything By the grace of God I carry on By the grace of God You hold my hand When things don’t make sense I still believe That you got a plan that I don’t perceive And even if your footsteps I don’t trace I know that someday I’ll finish this race

The Heavens declare the glory of our God The skies above, they give him endless praise Day to day we seek to honor you Lord There are no words that can fully express your love May the words (may the words) Of my mouth (of my mouth) Be pleasing unto you Lord (pleasing unto you Lord) May the thoughts (may the thoughts) Of my mind (of my mind) Be pleasing unto you Lord (pleasing unto you Lord) The law of the Lord is perfect and revives broken souls His precepts are right and instruct burdened hearts The fear of the Lord rejoices in his precious name His statutes are true and find favor among the just Let your meditations stir within me Let your Holy Spirit rise Let your meditations stir within me Let your Holy Spirit RISE!

He did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, But instead he humbled himself even to the point of death. He took the form of a servant and then laid down his life, So that all humanity could be restored in God’s sight. And then he rose up from the grave so everyone could receive That gift of eternal life ever so freely. And when we die, we’ll rise with Christ, The King of kings, and Prince of peace; He’ll wipe the tears from our eyes at the heavenly wedding feast. That soul, that on Jesus Christ has leaned for repose, He will not, no, will not, desert to its foes. That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, He’ll never, no, never, no never forsake. Every knee will bow and tongue confess That Christ is King over everything. From every tribe they’ll gather together as one and sing: “Glory to the King of kings, the Lord of lords and Prince of Peace, His majesty will never end for he is our High Priest. In me ol’ Jerusalem is where the Christ appeared at first, He’s coming back on that mount to dwell with his chosen church. When the clouds appear and he descends What terrifying sight t’will be That Christ is pleased with man to dwell On the earth and judge his deeds
