Immortal, Invisible
Verse 1
Immortal, invisible, God only wise
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise
Verse 2
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light
Nor wanting nor wasting, Thou rulest in might
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love
Verse 3
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light
Thine angels adore Thee all veiling their sight
All praise we would render, o help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee
Verse 4
All honor and praise to Thee help us to sing
Thy name ever glorious and matchless our King
And so let Thy glory Almighty impart
Through Christ in His story, O Christ to our heart

Psalm 139:1-12; 23-24 (NASB)
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, You know it all.
You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,”
Even the darkness is not dark to You, and the night is as bright as the day.
Darkness and light are alike to You.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.
Whom Shall I Fear
Verse 1
You hear me when I call, You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night, it cannot hide the light
Whom shall I fear
You crush the enemy underneath my feet
You are my sword and shield, though troubles linger still
Whom shall I fear
Chorus
I know Who goes before me, I know Who stands behind
The God of angel armies is always by my side
The One who reigns forever, He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies is always by my side
Verse 2
My strength is in Your name, for You alone can save
You will deliver me, Yours is the victory
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear
Bridge
And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in Your hands
I’m holding on to Your promises
You are faithful, You are faithful

Lord Have Mercy (For What We Have Done)
Verse 1
For what we have done and left undone, we fall on Your countless mercies
For sins that are known and those unknown, we call on Your name so holy
For envy and pride for closing our eyes, for scorning our very neighbor
In thought word and deed, we’ve failed You our King
How deeply we need a Savior
Chorus
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on us
Verse 2
For what You have done, Your life of love; You perfectly lived, we praise You
Though tempted and tried You fixed Your eyes
You finished the work God gave You
And there on the tree, a King among thieves, You bled for a world’s betrayal
You loved to the end Our merciful friend, how pure and forever faithful
Bridge
For hearts that are cold for seizing control, for scorning our very Maker
In thought word and deed, we’ve failed You our King
How deeply we need a Savior

Christ Is Risen
Verse 1
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
For I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind, but now I see
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Verse 2
The prodigal is welcomed home, the sinner now a saint
For the God who died came back to life and everything has changed
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Pre-Chorus
O death, where is your sting? O fear, where is your power?
The mighty King of kings has disarmed you
Delivered and redeemed, eternal life is ours
O praise His name forever
Chorus
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
And all throughout eternity our song will be the same
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Verse 3
And on the day You call me in to heaven’s sweet embrace
I’ll see Your scars, Your open arms, the beauty of Your face
Through tears of joy, I’ll lift my voice in everlasting praise
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
