• Song: Overcomer by Mandisa

    When life is tough cling to the promises of Christ.  No matter what you are going through Jesus is enough.  You can get through whatever trials you may be facing today.  Thankful for a God who hears and cares in the good, busy, and even hard times.

    Staring at a stop sign
    Watching people drive by
    T Mac on the radio
    Got so much on your mind
    Nothing’s really going right
    Looking for a ray of hope

    Whatever it is you may be going through
    I know He’s not gonna let it get the best of you

    You’re an overcomer
    Stay in the fight ‘til the final round
    You’re not going under
    ‘Cause God is holding you right now
    You might be down for a moment
    Feeling like it’s hopeless
    That’s when He reminds You
    That you’re an overcomer
    You’re an overcomer

    Everybody’s been down
    Hit the bottom, hit the ground
    Ooh, you’re not alone
    Just take a breath, don’t forget
    Hang on to His promises
    He wants You to know

    The same Man, the Great I am
    The one who overcame death
    He’s living inside of You
    So just hold tight, fix your eyes
    On the one who holds your life
    There’s nothing He can’t do
    He’s telling you

    So don’t quit, don’t give in, you’re an overcomer
    You’re an overcomer 

  • Song: He is With Us by Love & The Outcome

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6mEQS2fsWE

    God is someone we can always trust.  No matter where you go he is always with you in the good and the bad.  We may not know what tomorrow will bring, but we know the one who holds our future in His hands.  It is comforting to know that we do not have to walk alone.

    Remember when
    Your hope is lost and faith is shaken
    Remember when
    You wonder if you’re gonna make it
    There’s a hand stretched out
    Through your deepest doubt

    We can’t pretend
    To see the ending or what’s coming up ahead
    Don’t know the story of tomorrow
    But we can stay close
    To the One who knows

    We can trust our God
    He knows what He’s doing
    Though it might hurt now
    We won’t be ruined
    It might seem there’s an ocean in between
    But He’s holding onto you and me
    And He’s never gonna leave, no
    He is with us, He is with us, always, always

  • Song: Lord, You Have My Heart by Delirious

    Very simple, yet powerful song.  Who does your heart belong to?  Is your focus on heaven or this world?  Do you humbly seek God’s truth and wisdom for your life?  Or are you walking blindly through each day? Take time today to give Him your heart and seek His wisdom.

    Lord you have my heart
    And I will search for yours
    Jesus take my life and lead me on

    Lord you have my heart
    And I will search for yours
    Let me be to you a sacrifice

     And I will praise you Lord
     And I will sing of love come down
    And as you show your face, We’ll see your glory here.

  • Song: Your Great Name by Natalie Grant

    Our names are just one of the ways we are unique.  Some names are more traditional while others are not as common.  We are known by our names.  Thankful for a Savior whose name means so much.  Just hearing His names brings back all that He has done for us.  He is worth of our praise.

    Lost are saved find their way at the sound of your great name
    All condemned feel no shame at the sound of your great name
    Every fear has no place at the sound of your great name
    The enemy—he has to leave at the sound of your great name

    Jesus,
    Worthy is the Lamb
    That was slain for us
    Son of God and Man
    You are high and lifted up and all the world will praise your great name

    All the weak find their strength at the sound of your great name
    Hungry souls receive grace at the sound of your great name
    The fatherless—they find their rest at the sound of your great name
    The sick are healed and the dead are raised at the sound of your great name

    Redeemer, My Healer,Lord Almighty
    My Savior, Defender, You are My King

  • Song: Do Something by Matthew West

    We were created by an amazing God.  He wants us to be actively serving others.  When we see a problem do we do something about it or wait for someone else to handle it?  What are we doing to help others?  How are we going to change the world we live in today?

    I woke up this morning
    Saw a world full of trouble now
    Thought, how’d we ever get so far down
    How’s it ever gonna turn around

    So I turned my eyes to Heaven
    I thought, “God, why don’t You do something?”
    Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of
    People living in poverty

    Children sold into slavery
    The thought disgusted me
    So, I shook my fist at Heaven
    Said, “God, why don’t You do something?”

    He said, “I did, I created you”

    If not us, then who
    If not me and you
    Right now, it’s time for us to do something
    If not now, then when
    Will we see an end
    To all this pain
    It’s not enough to do nothing
    It’s time for us to do something

    I’m so tired of talking
    About how we are God’s hands and feet
    But it’s easier to say than to be
    Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves
    It’s alright, “somebody else will do something”

    We are the salt of the earth
    We are a city on a hill (shine shine, shine shine)
    But we’re never gonna change the world
    By standing still
    No we won’t stand still

  • Song: I Will Be Still by Hillsong

    We all have crazy schedules.  Sometimes it is hard to “be still” long enough to communicate with our Savior.  There is always more to do, people to help, or something pulling our attention away.  It is easy to be distracted.  Make a point to focus on being still for a few minutes to worship and pray today.

    Hide me now
    Under Your wings
    Cover me
    Within Your mighty hand

    When the oceans rise and thunders roar
    I will soar with You above the storm
    Father you are King over the flood
    I will be still, know You are God

    Find rest my soul
    In Christ alone
    Know His power
    In quietness and trust

    When the oceans rise and thunders roar
    I will soar with You above the storm
    Father You are king over the flood
    I will be still, know You are God

  • Song: Day One by Matthew West

    Isn’t it great that we get a fresh start to each new day.  Today is Day One of the rest of your life.  How will you chose to use your day?  Will you do good?

    Well, I wish I had a short term memory
    Wish the only thing my eyes could see
    Was the future burning bright right in front of me
    But I can’t stop looking back

    Yeah, I wish I was a perfect picture of
    Somebody who’s never not good enough
    I try to measure up but I mess it up
    And I wish I wasn’t like that

    I wish I wasn’t wishing anymore
    Wish I could remember that nobody’s keeping score
    I’m tired of throwing pennies in a well
    I gotta do something
    Here goes nothin’

    It’s day one of the rest of my life
    It’s day one of the best of my life
    I’m marching on to the beat of a brand new drum
    Yeah, here I come
    The future has begun
    Day one

  • Song: God Who Save by Hillsong

    Thankful for a God who saves.  He gives us hope in a fallen world.  It is because of His grace and mercy for us that we do not have to pay the price for our sin.  He has conquered death once for us all.

    The light of the world,
    Shining in love
    Taking the fall upon Your shoulders
    You shattered the dark
    As You rose to life again

    You search all the earth
    For those who are lost
    And leaving the rescued for the fallen
    You’re leading us home
    As we call upon Your Name

    You’re the God who saves
    You’re the hope of all
    Reaching out Your hand
    As Your people call

    Our Saviour has come
    Let Your will be done
    Your kingdom on earth as in the heavens
    Our freedom is found
    Lord in no other name

    You are the Way
    The Truth and the Life
    Your mercy has overcome our failings
    The battle is won
    Jesus in love You reign

    Here in Your light ever brighter
    We lift Your Name higher and higher

  • Song: Overwhelmed by Big Daddy Weave

    If we stop and think about all that He has created it truly is amazing.  He created us and the world around us.  It is wonderful knowing that we serve a God who has the power to create so many awesome things that we get to interact with every day.  Take time to today to thank Him for this wonderful world we live in.

    I see the work of Your Hands
    Galaxies spin in a Heavenly dance oh God
    All that You are is so overwhelming

    I hear the sound of Your Voice
    All at once it’s a gentle and thundering noise oh God
    All that You are is so overwhelming
    I delight myself in You
    Captivated by Your beauty
    I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

    God, I run into Your arms
    Unashamed because of mercy
    I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

    I know the power of Your Cross
    Forgiven and free forever You’ll be my God

    All that You’ve done is so overwhelming
    I delight myself in You
    In the Glory of Your Presence
    I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

    You are Beautiful, You are Wonderful, You are Glorious
