Memory Verse For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 Offering – as the offering is being uplifted we sing
I was nowhere, You came to my rescue From the grave I've been raised When I needed a saviour to save me Jesus, You made a way I was blind, but these eyes have been opened Now I walk in the light Ev'ry step on this road I will follow Jesus, You made a way You are the way You are the way Lost and dead, but Your love came to find me Jesus You are the way Jesus, the only way Jesus, the only way All my days are secure in Your promise Never standing alone You're the truth, You're the life, You're my future Jesus, You made a way I'm alive in that love that You give me Free to dance once again You will lead me from glory to glory Jesus, You made a way You are the way You are the way You're the light shining bright in the darkness Jesus You are the way Quiz Our God is a great big God Our God is a great big God Our God is a great big God And he holds us in his hands He's higher than a skyscraper He's deeper than a submarine He's wider than the universe
And beyond my wildest dreams He's known me and he's loved me Since before the world began How wonderful to be a part of God's amazing plan Gunge time! The greatest day in history Death is beaten, You have rescued me Sing it out, Jesus is alive The empty cross, the empty grave Life eternal, You have won the day Shout it out, Jesus is alive He's alive Oh happy day, happy day You washed my sin away Oh happy day, happy day I'll never be the same Forever I am changed When I stand in that place Free at last, meeting face to face I am Yours, Jesus, You are mine Endless joy, perfect peace Earthly pain finally will cease Celebrate, Jesus is alive He's alive Benediction
