PASSAGE

Matthew 6:25-33
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Rock of Ages

Verse 1
Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure

Verse 2
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill the law’s commands
Should my passion never fade
And my efforts all be weighed
All for sin could not atone
You must save and You alone

Chorus
Rock of ages
No one takes Your life
Yet You died that I might live
Costly grace You freely give

Rock of ages
You have paid the price
You were cleft to cover me
Let me hide myself in Thee

Verse 3
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to the cross I cling
Naked come to Thee for dress
Helpless look to Thee for grace
Wretched to the fount I fly
Wash me Savior or I die

Bridge
And while I draw my final breath
I’ll rest upon Your grace
And when I close my eyes in death
I’ll wake to see Your face

Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me

Verse 1
What gift of grace
is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more
for heaven now to give
He is my joy
my righteousness and freedom
My steadfast love
my deep and boundless peace

To this I hold
my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to his
Oh how strange and divine
I can sing all is mine
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Verse 2
The night is dark
but I am not forsaken
For by my side
the Savior he will stay
I labor on in weakness
and rejoicing
For in my need
his power is displayed

To this I hold
my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley
he will lead
Oh the night has been won
and I shall overcome
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Verse 3
No fate I dread
I know I am forgiven
The future sure
the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled
and suffered for my pardon
And he was raised
to overthrow the grave

To this I hold
my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released
I can sing I am free
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Verse 4
With every breath
I long to follow Jesus
For he has said
that he will bring me home
And day by day
I know he will renew me
Until I stand
with joy before the throne

To this I hold
my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to him
When the race is complete
still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Nothing But The Blood

Chorus:
Oh! precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Verse 1
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Verse 2
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Verse 3
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Verse 4
For my pardon this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

At The Cross

Verse 1
There’s a place, Where mercy reigns, and never dies
There’s a place, Where streams of grace, flow deep and wide
Where all the love I’ve ever found
Comes like a flood
comes flowing down

Chorus
At the cross at the cross
I surrender my life
I’m in awe of You
I’m in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
and my sin washed white
I owe all to You I owe all to You (Jesus)

Verse 2
There’s a place, Where sin and shame are powerless
Where my heart, Has peace with God and forgiveness
Where all the love I’ve ever found
Comes like a flood
comes flowing down

Bridge
Here my hope is found
Here on holy ground
Here I bow down here I bow down
Here arms open wide
Here You saved my life
Here I bow down here I bow
