Praise
Songs: GREAT
IS THE LORD
Great is the Lord, He is holy
and just, by His power we trust in His love.
Great is the Lord, He is faithful and true, by His mercy He proves He is
love. Great is the Lord and worthy of
glory! Great is the Lord and worthy of
praise! Great is the Lord, now lift up
your voice, now lift up your voice!
Great is the Lord! Great is the
Lord!
YOU ARE MY ALL
IN ALL
You are my strength when I am
weak. You are the treasure that I
seek. You are my all in all. Seeking You as a
precious jewel, Lord, to give up I’d be a fool.
You are my all in all.
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is
Your name.
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name.
Taking my sin, my cross, my
shame, rising again I bless Your name. You are my all in all. When I fall down, You
pick me up. When I am dry, You fill my cup. You
are my all in all.
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is
Your name.
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name.
