What We Sang Today - Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven, to his feet your tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, who, like me, his praise should sing?
Praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him, praise the everlasting King.
Praise him for his grace and favor to our fathers in distress;
Praise him, still the same forever, slow to chide and swift to bless;
Praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him, glorious in his faithfulness.
Father-like, he tends and spares us; well our feeble frame he knows;
In his hands he gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes;
Praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him, widely as his mercy goes.
Frail as summer’s flower we flourish, blows the wind and it is gone;
But while mortals rise and perish, God endures unchanging on.
Praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him, praise the High Eternal One.
Angels help us to adore him; you behold him face to face;
Sun and moon bow down before him, dwellers all in time and space,
Praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him, praise with us the God of grace.
- Adapted from Psalm 103 by Henry F. Lyte

Awesome Testimony of God’s Grace and Changed Lives
Very powerful testimony of God’s grace and love.
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. — Romans 5:6

What We Sang Today - To God Be the Glory
To God be the glory, great things he has done! So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
Who yielded his life an atonement for sin, and opened the life-gate that we may go in.
Refrain: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
And give him the glory, great things he has done!
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood! To ev’ry believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus forgiveness receives. Refrain
Great things he has taught us, great things he has done, and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer and higher and greater will be our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. Refrain

What We Sang Today - And Can It Be
And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain? For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Chorus: Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
‘Tis mystery all! Th’Immortal dies: who can explore his strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine.
‘Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds inquire no more. Chorus
He left his Father’s throne above - so free, so infinite his grace!
Humbled himself - so great his love! And bled for all his chosen race.
‘Tis mercy all, immense and free; for, O my God, it found out me. Chorus
No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own. Chorus
