THE JOY

Verse 1

This is the day You made, so I’ll rejoice and be glad, rejoice and be glad in it

This is where I believe that You are more than enough, more than enough for me

You are faithful to Your promise, You are strong when I am weak

When I’m standing in Your presence, I have everything I need

 

Chorus 1

The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord is my strength

O my soul, bless His Name, all that is within me say

The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord is my strength

 

Verse 2

Jesus come what may, You are worthy of all, worthy of all my praise

You are faithful to Your promise, You are strong when I am weak

When I’m standing in Your presence, I have everything I need      (to chorus 1)

The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord is my strength

O my soul, bless His Name, all that is within me say

O my soul, bless His Name, all that is within me say

The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord is my strength

REASON I SING

Verse 1

You pulled me from darkness, and clothed me in garments of praise

Jesus forever, my song will be You

I’m living in freedom, You’ve taken my burdens away

Jesus forever, my song will be You, only for You

 

Chorus

For the cross that You bore, and the debt that You paid,

For the victory You won over death and the grave, this is the reason I sing

For the hope that You give, and the joy that You bring

For the promise that Heaven Is waiting for me, this is the reason I sing

 

Verse 2

I will not be silent, I’ll testify of Your grace

Jesus forever, my song will be You, only for You      (to chorus)

 

Bridge

So good, so good, You’re so good to me

JESUS DOES

Verse 1

Who tells the Sun to rise every morning?

Colors the sky with the shades of His glory?

Wakes us with mercy and love? Jesus does

Who holds the orphan, comforts the widow?

Cries for injustice, feels every sorrow?

Carries the pain of His children? Jesus does

 

Chorus

So we sing praise to the Father, who gave us the Son

Praise to the Spirit, who's living in us

When I was a sinner, He saved me from who I was

'Cause that's what Jesus does

 

Verse 2

Who understands the heart of a sinner?

Showers His grace over all our mistakes?

Washes us clean with His blood? Jesus does

Who sings a song of sweet forgiveness?

Who stole the keys to hell and the grave?

Who has the power to save? Jesus does      (to chorus)

 

Bridge

Oh, what a friend, oh, what a Savior

He's always been good, He's always been faithful

He came to my rescue when I needed Him most, He saved my soul      (to chorus)

 

AS THE DEER

Verse 1

As the deer panteth for the water so my soul longeth after You

You alone are my heart's desire and I long to worship You

 

Chorus

You alone are my strength my shield, to You alone may my spirit yield

You alone are my heart's desire and I long to worship You

 

Verse 2

You're my friend and You are my brother even though You are a King

I love You more than any other, so much more than anything      (to chorus)

JOHN 10:1-21

1 Truly I tell you, anyone who doesn’t enter the sheep pen by the gate but climbs in some other way is a thief and a robber.

 

2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought all his own outside, he goes ahead of them. The sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 They will never follow a stranger; instead they will run away from him, because they don’t know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus gave them this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

 

7 Jesus said again, “Truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them. 9 I am the gate. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.

 

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand, since he is not the shepherd and doesn’t own the sheep, leaves them and runs away when he sees a wolf coming. The wolf then snatches and scatters them. 13 This happens because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care about the sheep.

 

14 “I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 But I have other sheep that are not from this sheep pen; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.”

 

19 Again the Jews were divided because of these words. 20 Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and he’s crazy. Why do you listen to him? ” 21 Others were saying, “These aren’t the words of someone who is demon-possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? ”

 

GOD REALLY LOVES US

Verse 1

I've got a friend, closer than a brother

There is no judgment, oh how He loves me, I've got a friend

 

And He is my strength, He is my portion

With me in the valley, with me in the fire, with me in the storm

 

Let all my life testify

 

Chorus

Hallelujah, we are not alone

God really loves us, God really loves us

Hallelujah, oh praise, my soul

God really loves us, God really loves us

 

Verse 2

His mercy's enough, His grace is sufficient

So come if you're needing forgiveness or healing, His mercy's enough

 

Oh and this is our hope; the cross, it has spoken

Death is no more, Christ is the Lord, this is our hope      (to chorus)

 

Bridge

What a Father, what a Friend, what a Savior He is

What a Father, what a Friend, what a Savior He is      (repeats) (to chorus)
