1 John 1:1-7
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We write this to make our joy complete.

5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

YOUR LOVE AWAKENS ME

Verse 1
There were walls between us
By the cross
You came and broke them down
You broke them down
And there were chains around us
By Your grace we are
No longer bound
No longer bound

Pre-Chorus
You called me out of the grave
You called me into the light
You called my name
and then my heart came alive

Chorus
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens awakens
awakens me

Verse 2
Feel the darkness shaking
All the dead are coming
back to life
I’m back to life
Hear the song awaken
All creation singing we’re alive
‘Cause You’re alive

Bridge
And what a love we’ve found
Death can’t hold us down
We shout it out
We’re alive ‘cause You’re alive

There is none beside You
Open up my eyes in wonder

And lead me in Your love

It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone

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 Saviour he will stay
I labour 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

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

Chorus
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Verse 1
Great is Thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow
Of turning with Thee
Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been
Thou forever wilt be

Verse 2
Summer and winter
And springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars
In their courses above
Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love

Verse 3
Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thy own dear presence
To cheer and to guide
Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine
With ten thousand beside

PRAYER

Colossians 1:15-23

15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
