BE GLAD

Verse 1

Give thanks to the Lord   

His love endures forever

Give praise to the Lord   

beside Him there's no other       (repeat)

 

Chorus 1

This is the day the Lord has made, 

I will rejoice and be glad in it

This is the day the Lord has made, 

I will rejoice and be glad in it

He brought us from mourning to dancing, 

from glory to glory

This is the day the Lord has made

So what are we waiting for? 

Come on and praise the Lord!

 

Verse 2

Hear the word of the Lord     

there's freedom for the captives

Good news to the    

poor and beauty for the ashes

So what are we waiting for?    

What are we waiting for?       (to chorus 1)

 

Bridge

I live I live to tell what the Lord has done, 

I live to sing of my Savior's love

I live because He is risen, la la la la la la la       (repeat)

 

Chorus 2

This is the day the Lord has made, 

I will rejoice and be glad in it

This is the day the Lord has made, 

I will rejoice and be glad in it

 

This is the day the Lord has made, 

I will rejoice and be glad in it

This is the day the Lord has made, 

I will rejoice and be glad in it

 

He brought us from mourning to dancing, 

from glory to glory

From mourning to dancing, 

from glory to glory

From mourning to dancing, 

from glory to glory

This is the day the Lord has made

 

So what are we waiting for? 

Come on and praise the Lord!

What are we waiting for? 

Come on and praise the Lord! Oh praise the Lord

PRAISE

Verse 1

I’ll praise in the valley, 

praise on the mountain

I’ll praise when I’m sure, 

praise when I’m doubting

I’ll praise when outnumbered, 

praise when surrounded

'Cause praise is the water

my enemies drown in

As long as I’m breathing, 

I’ve got a reason to

 

Chorus 1

Praise the Lord, oh my soul! 

Praise the Lord, oh my soul!

 

Verse 2

I’ll praise when I feel it, 

I’ll praise when I don’t

I’ll praise 'cause I know

You’re still in control

'Cause my praise is a weapon

it’s more than a sound

My praise is the shout

that brings Jericho down

As long as I’m breathing, 

I’ve got a reason to

 

Chorus 2

Praise the Lord, oh my soul! 

Praise the Lord, oh my soul!

I won’t be quiet, my God is alive, 

how could I keep it inside?

Praise the Lord oh my soul

 

Bridge

I’ll praise 'cause You’re sovereign, 

praise 'cause You reign

Praise 'cause You rose

and defeated the grave

I’ll praise 'cause You’re faithful, 

praise 'cause You’re true

Praise 'cause there’s nobody

greater than You

 

Chorus 3

Praise the Lord, oh my soul! 

Praise the Lord, oh my soul!

Praise the Lord, oh my soul! 

Praise the Lord, oh my soul!

 

I won’t be quiet, my God is alive, 

how could I keep it inside?

I won’t be quiet, my God is alive, 

how could I keep it inside?

I won’t be quiet, my God is alive, 

how could I keep it inside?

Praise the Lord, oh my soul!

HIS GLORY AND MY GOOD

Verse 1

I have seen my Father’s glory, 

revealed in Jesus Christ

And the more that I behold Him, 

the more He satisfies

When I gaze upon His beauty, 

when I see Him as I should

Then my eyes are lifted upward

for His glory and my good

 

Verse 2

There is hope in every trial, 

for I can trust the Lord

He will turn my heart towards Him, 

and help me bear the thorn

So in faith I follow Jesus, 

on the road not understood

For I know that He is working

for His glory and my good

 

Chorus

To our God be the glory, 

to our God be praise

He alone, the name above all names

I will boast ever only in the Lord my God

For I know, His glory is my good

 

Verse 3

See the open arms of Jesus

upon the cross that day

What they understood as weakness

deserves my every praise

For the charge that was against me, 

it was nailed into the wood

Yes I know that He has saved me

for His glory and my good      (to chorus)

 

Verse 4

Would I gladly be made nothing

that Christ would be made more?

Would I seek the only kingdom

that far outweighs them all?

I will stand before my Father

where the faithful saints have stood

And with joy my heart shall praise Him, 

for His glory and my good

And with joy my heart shall praise Him, 

for His glory and my good     (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)

SAMUEL’S CALL

1 Samuel 3:1-4:1a

 

1The boy Samuel served the Lord in Eli’s presence. In those days the word of the Lord was rare and prophetic visions were not widespread.

2One day Eli, whose eyesight was failing, was lying in his usual place. 3Before the lamp of God had gone out, Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was located.

4Then the Lord called Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.” 5He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

“I didn’t call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.

6Once again the Lord called, “Samuel!”

Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

“I didn’t call, my son,” he replied. “Go back and lie down.”

7Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, because the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. 8Once again, for the third time, the Lord called Samuel. He got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

Then Eli understood that the Lord was calling the boy. 9He told Samuel, “Go and lie down. If he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10The Lord came, stood there, and called as before, “Samuel, Samuel!”

Samuel responded, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

11The Lord said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel that will cause everyone who hears about it to shudder. 12On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I said about his family, from beginning to end. 13I told him that I am going to judge his family forever because of the iniquity he knows about: his sons are cursing God, and he has not stopped them. 14Therefore, I have sworn to Eli’s family: The iniquity of Eli’s family will never be wiped out by either sacrifice or offering.”

15Samuel lay down until the morning; then he opened the doors of the Lord’s house. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision, 16but Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son.”

“Here I am,” answered Samuel.

17“What was the message he gave you?” Eli asked. “Don’t hide it from me. May God punish you and do so severely if you hide anything from me that he told you.” 18So Samuel told him everything and did not hide anything from him. Eli responded, “He is the Lord. Let him do what he thinks is good.”

19Samuel grew. The Lord was with him, and he fulfilled everything Samuel prophesied. 20All Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was a confirmed prophet of the Lord. 21The Lord continued to appear in Shiloh, because there he revealed himself to Samuel by his word.

4:1And Samuel’s words came to all Israel.

 

THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE BLOOD

Verse 1

I was a wretch, 

I remember who I was

I was lost, I was blind, 

I was running out of time

Sin separated, 

the breach was far too wide

But from the far side of the chasm, 

You had me in Your sight

 

Verse 2

So You made a way

across the great divide

Left behind Heaven's throne

to build it here inside

There at the cross, 

You paid the debt I owed

Broke my chains, 

freed my soul, for the first time I had hope

 

Chorus

Thank You Jesus for the blood applied

Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white

Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

 

Verse 3

You took my place, 

laid inside my tomb of sin

You were buried for three days, 

but then You walked right out again

And now death has no sting

and life has no end

For I have been transformed

by the blood of the Lamb      (to chorus)

 

Bridge

There is nothing stronger

than the wonder working power

Of the blood, the blood

That calls us sons and daughters, 

we are ransomed by our Father

Through the blood, the blood      (repeat)      (to chorus)
