Come, Lord Jesus
Lyrics:
When the war is over and the battles are done
We shall see our Savior shining like the sun
Every tear He will dry, every shadow will flee
All those in Christ Jesus will be made complete
Will be made complete
Come, Lord Jesus
Listen to creation groan
Come, Lord Jesus
Come and take Your people home
Every tongue will praise Him, every knee will bow
When we see our Savior riding on the clouds
Riding on the clouds
Now we see in part, then we’ll see in full
Your glory, Jesus, will satisfy our souls

Lyrics:
Is He Worthy
Verse 1
Do you feel the world is broken
We do
Do you feel the shadows deepen
We do
But do you know that all the dark
Won't stop the light from getting through
We do
Do you wish that you could see it all made new
We do
Verse 2
Is all creation groaning
It is
Is a new creation coming
It is
Is the glory of the Lord
To be the light within our midst
It is
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this
It is
Chorus 1
Is anyone worthy
Is anyone holy
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David's Root
And the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
Is He worthy
Is He worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy of this
He is
Verse 3
Does the Father truly love us
He does
Does the Spirit move among us
He does
And does Jesus our Messiah
Hold forever those He loves
He does
Does our God intend to dwell again with us
He does
Chorus 2
Is anyone worthy
Is anyone holy
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David's Root
And the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
From ev'ry people and tribe every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests
To God to reign with the Son
Is He worthy
Is He worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy
Is He worthy
Is He worthy of this
He is
Ending
Is He worthy
Is He worthy
He is
He is
Confession (Our Savior Binds Us Wandering Sheep to Himself):
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Verse 1
Come Thou fount of ev'ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Verse 2
Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Verse 3
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy grace Lord like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

O Come O Come Emmanuel
Verse 1
O come O come Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Verse 2
O come Thou Dayspring from on high
And cause Thy light on us to rise
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadow put to flight
Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel
Verse 3
O come O come true prophet of the Lord
And turn the key to heaven's door
Be Thou our comforter and guide
And lead us to the Father’s side
Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall by His Word our darkness dispel
Verse 4
O come our great High Priest and intercede
Thy sacrifice our only plea
The judgment we no longer fear
Thy precious blood has brought us near
Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Has banished every fear of hell
Verse 5
O Come Thou King of nations bring
An end to all our suffering
Bid every pain and sorrow cease
And reign now as our Prince of Peace
Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come again with us to dwell
Response (We Have His Spirit Until He Comes Again):
Holy Spirit
Lyrics:
Holy Spirit
Verse 1
Holy Spirit living Breath of God
Breathe new life into my willing soul
Let the presence of the risen Lord
Come renew my heart and make me whole
Cause Your word to come alive in me
Give me faith for what I cannot see
Give me passion for Your purity
Holy Spirit breathe new life in me
Verse 2
Holy Spirit come abide within
May Your joy be seen in all I do
Love enough to cover ev'ry sin
In each thought and deed and attitude
Kindness to the greatest and the least
Gentleness that sows the path of peace
Turn my strivings into works of grace
Breath of God show Christ in all I do
Verse 3
Holy Spirit from creation's birth
Giving life to all that God has made
Show Your power once again on earth
Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways
Let the fragrance of our pray'rs arise
Lead us on the road of sacrifice
That in unity the face of Christ
May be clear for all the world to see
