10,000 Reasons
by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin
©2011 Atlas Mountain Songs
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
By Faith

By faith, we see the hand of God
In the light of creation's grand design;
In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness,
Who walk by faith and not by sight.
By faith, our fathers roamed the earth
With the power of His promise in their hearts
Of a holy city built by God's own hand -
A place where peace and justice reign.
We will stand as children of the promise,
We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul's reward.
Till the race is finished and the work is done,
We'll walk by faith and not by sight.
By faith, the prophets saw a day
When the longed-for Messiah would appear
With the power to break the chains of sin and death,
And rise triumphant from the grave.
By faith, the church was called to go
In the power of the Spirit to the lost
To deliver captives and to preach good news,
In every corner of the earth.
We will stand as children of the promise,
We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul's reward.
Till the race is finished and the work is done,
We'll walk by faith and not by sight.
By faith, this mountain shall be moved
And the power of the gospel shall prevail,
For we know in Christ all things are possible
For all who call upon His name.
We will stand as children of the promise,
We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul's reward.
Till the race is finished and the work is done,
We'll walk by faith and not by sight.

Wonderful, Merciful Savior
by Dawn Rodgers/Eric Wyse

Wonderful, merciful Savior,
Precious Redeemer and Friend,
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men?
Oh, You rescue the souls of men.
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper,
Spirit we long to embrace:
You offer hope when our hearts
Have hopelessly lost the way.
Oh, we hopelessly lost the way.
You are the One that we praise,
You are the One we adore,
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for.
Oh, our hearts always hunger for.
Almighty, infinite Father,
Faithfully loving Your own,
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne.
Oh, we're falling before Your throne.
You are the One that we praise,
You are the One we adore,
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for.
Oh, our hearts always hunger for.
OLD Testament Reading
II Chronicles 7:12-14 John Costas
12 Then the LORD appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, 14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Sermon
What Would Jesus Do?
Philippians 2:3-8
Matt Hampson, Youth Director
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Humble Thyself in the Sight of the Lord
by Bob Hudson

Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord,
Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord,
And He will lift you up
Higher and higher,
And He will lift you up.
