“Because of Your Love”
As we come into Your presence
We remember every blessing
That You’ve poured out so freely from above
Lifting gratitude and praises
For compassion so amazing
Lord, we’ve come to give You thanks for all You’ve done
Because of Your love, we’re forgiven
Because of Your love, our hearts are clean
We lift You up with songs of freedom
Forever we’re changed because of Your love
Yeah, yeah

“Rescue Us”
Forgive us, Lord when we have gone astray
We fail to trust in the power of Your Name
Forgive us, Lord when we have gone astray
We take for granted the sacrifice You made
Come cleanse our hearts
Come heal our wounds
We lay our lives before Your cross
Come and rescue us

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

“Who You Say I Am”
Who am I that the highest King,
Would welcome me?
I was lost but He brought me in,
His love for me,
Oh His love for me.
Who the Son sets free,
Oh is free indeed,
I’m a child of God, Yes I am!
Free at last He has ransomed me,
His grace runs deep.
While I was a slave to sin,
Jesus died for me,
Yes He died for me.
Who the Son sets free,
Oh is free indeed.
I’m a child of God, Yes I am!
In my Father’s house,
There’s a place for me,
I’m a child of God, Yes I am!
I am chosen, not forsaken.
I am who You say I am.
You are for me, not against me.
I am who You say I am.
