ALL: for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.
LEADER: Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?
ALL: The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.

Worship In Song
“PRAISE”
Verse 1 – I’ll praise in the valley, Praise on the mountain
I’ll praise when I’m sure, Praise when I’m doubting
I’ll praise when outnumbered, Praise when surrounded
‘Cause praise is the water, My enemies drown in
As long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a reason to
Chorus – Praise the Lord oh my soul, Praise the Lord oh my soul
Verse 2 – I’ll praise when I feel it, And I’ll praise when I don’t
I’ll praise ’cause I know You’re still in control
‘Cause my praise is a weapon, It’s more than a sound
My praise is the shout that brings Jericho down
As long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a reason to…
Chorus 2 –
Praise the Lord oh my soul, Praise the Lord oh my soul
I won’t be quiet, my God is alive, how could I keep it inside
Praise the Lord oh my soul
Bridge
I’ll praise ’cause You’re sovereign, Praise ’cause You reign
Praise ’cause You rose and defeated the grave
I’ll praise ’cause You’re faithful, Praise ’cause You’re true
Praise ’cause there’s nobody greater than You
Ending –
Let everything that has breath, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord
FIRM FOUNDATION
Verse 1 –
Christ is my firm foundation, The rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaken,
I’ve never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus, ‘Cause He’s never let me down
He’s faithful through generations, So why would He fail now
He won’t
Verse 2 –
I’ve still got joy in chaos, I’ve got peace that makes no sense
So I won’t be going under, I’m not held by my own strength
‘Cause I’ve built my life on Jesus, He’s never let me down
He’s faithful in every season, So why would He fail now
Chorus – He won’t, He won’t, He won’t fail, He won’t fail
Bridge
Rain came and wind blew, But my house was built on You
I’m safe with You, I’m going to make it through
Rain came and wind blew, But my house was built on You
I’m safe with You, I’m going to make it through
Yeah I’m going to make it through
‘Cause I’m standing strong on You
Yeah I’m going to make it through,
‘Cause my house is built on You
CROWNS
Verse 1 – There is a hill I cherish, Where stood a precious tree
The emblem of salvation, The gift of Calvary
How is it I should profit, While He is crucified
Yet as His life was taken, So I was granted mine
Chorus – My wealth is in the cross, There’s nothing more I want
Than just to know His love, My heart is set on Christ
And I will count all else as loss
The greatest of my crowns, Means nothing to me now
For I counted up the cost, And all my wealth is in the cross
Verse 3 – I will not boast in riches, I have no pride in gold
But I will boast in Jesus, And in His Name alone
Verse 4 – And when I stand in glory, My crowns before the Lord
Let this be my confession, My wealth is in the cross
HOW GREAT THOU ART
Verse 1 – O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds, Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow’r thru’out, The universe displayed
Chorus – Then sings my soul, My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Verse 2 – When through the woods, And forest glades I wander
And hear the birds, Sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down, From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook, And feel the gentle breeze
Verse 3 – And when I think, That God His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, My burden gladly bearing
He bled and died, To take away my sin
Verse 4 – When Christ shall come, With shout of acclamation
And take me home, What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, In humble adoration
And there proclaim, My God how great Thou art
APOSTLES’ CREED: (RECITED IN UNISON)
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary;
suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, dead and buried.
He descended into hell;
the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.
Amen. (*catholic simply means universal)
Doxology (sung at the conclusion of the baptism)
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him all creatures here below;
Praise Him above ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
