Tomorrow's Worship Gatherings (11/01) Canceled

Due to a positive COVID-19 test and the potential exposure of additional members and leaders in the past week, we have decided to cancel our in-person worship gatherings tomorrow (11/01). This decision was made out of an abundance of caution and in an attempt to protect the long-term gathering ability of our body.

We will post a sermon recording tomorrow at 8:30AM at 2pillarschurch.com/live.

Stay tuned to our website next week for information about next Sunday’s worship gatherings.

CALL TO WORSHIP

SCRIPTURE READING (Psalm 5:7–8)

But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you. Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me.

ADORATION

OH! GREAT IS OUR GOD

VERSE 1
Oh! Great is our God
So we should worship greatly
No song is too loud
No orchestra too stately
To hail the majesty of our King
So lift your voices loud as we sing

VERSE 2
Oh! Great is our God
So let our songs be endless
So awesome His ways
How could we comprehend them
So we will make it known to our kids
And we will sing about
The gracious gifts you give

CHORUS
We will sing Your praise
And pour forth Your fame
We will bless Your name
Let everyone give thanks
Because our God is great

VERSE 3
Oh! Great is our God
And we cannot contain it
We sing from our souls
Affected by His greatness
His mercy covers all that He's made
Showing His glory and His grace

CONFESSION

LOVE ME TO THE END

VERSE 1
A beggar poor at mercy’s door
Lies such a wretch as I
Thou know’st my need is great indeed
Lord, hear me when I cry

With guilt beset and deep in debt
For pardon, Lord, I pray
O let Thy love sufficient prove
To take my sins away

VERSE 2
A wicked heart is no small part
Of my distress and shame
Let sovereign grace its crimes efface
Through Jesus’ blessed name

My darkened mind I daily find
Is prone to go astray
Lord, on it shine with light divine
And guide it in Thy way

VERSE 3
My stubborn will opposes still
Thy wise and holy hand
Thy Spirit send to make it bend
To Thy supreme command

Affections wild by sin defiled
Oft hurry me away
Lord, bring them home nor let them roam
From Christ the living Way

VERSE 4
Before Thy face I’ve told my case
Lord, help and mercy send
Pity my soul and make me whole
And love me to the end



ASSURANCE

SCRIPTURE READING (HEBREWS 9:24 ESV)

For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

BEFORE THE THRONE

VERSE 1
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heav'n He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

VERSE 2 When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

VERSE 3
Behold him there! The risen Lamb
My perfect spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of grace
The King of glory and of grace

One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God

PARTAKING AND PRAYER

SONG OF RESPONSE

AMAZING GRACE

VERSE 1
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

VERSE 2
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

VERSE 3
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

BRIDGE 1
My Chains are gone I've been set free
My God my Savior has ransomed me

BRIDGE 2
And like a flood, His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
Unending love, amazing grace

VERSE 4
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun

  • Geneva House to remain closed

LIVESTREAM OPTION

For those unable to gather in-person due to health risks, we will continue to live-stream the 8:30am service at 2pillarschurch.com/live

SERVE (2pillarschurch.com/SERVE)

As we resume worshiping indoors, with two services, there are many opportunities and areas of need in terms of serving on Sunday mornings. Please fill out the form at 2pillarschurch.com/serve letting us know how you’d like to serve!

*** NOTE: In accordance with Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department Directed Health Measure (DHM) 2020-09, all individuals age five and older are required to wear a face covering when they are in an indoor space that is open to the public unless six feet of separation can be maintained. Masks are not required under the ordinance as long as individuals maintain 6 feet of distance from anyone not in their household. Additionally, Section 7 of the aforementioned DHM exempts religious services, stating that religious services are governed by the the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Directed Health Measure Order 2020-LLHD-009, which has since been replaced by 2020-LLHD-010 (i.e. Phase IV re-opening), which removes the DHM section on churches and simply asks churches to follow the DHHS “Guidelines for the Conduct of Faith-Based Services Including Weddings and Funerals Held in Houses of Worship” which do not require the wearing of masks but rather provide guidance for physical distancing.

CALL TO WORSHIP

SCRIPTURE READING (Psalm 66:1–4)

Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.

ADORATION

ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING

CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

O Lord, we would come to you with the penitence of the prodigal son, confessing that we have sinned against heaven and in your sight. Blessed be your name! You give freely of the bread of life to all who seek your fullness, and you bestow a father's blessing on every returning wanderer. We have wandered from you. We have used the goods you have given us as though they belonged to us, forgetting that our life and breath and all things are from you. Often we have lived as if we had no heavenly Father to thank for his goodness. We joined ourselves to the alien of a far country, but no one gave to us what would feed and nourish us. We sought food for our wants in earthly pleasures, but they were only as husks to our souls. And now we come back crying, "Why should we perish with hunger, when there is bread enough in our Father's house to spare?" Oh, we thank you that we feel our wanderings and have been inclined to come back to you. O God, be merciful to all sinners. Grant us forgiveness. Amen.

ASSURANCE

PRAYER OF ASSURANCE

May the God of mercy, who forgives you all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness, and, by the power of the Holy Spirit, keep you in eternal life. Amen.

THANKSGIVING

CHRIST IS MINE

VERSE 1
Mine are days that God has numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings

CHORUS 1
But mine is hope in my Redeemer
Though I fall, His love is sure
For Christ has paid for every failing
I am His forevermore

VERSE 2
Mine are tears in times of sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good

CHORUS 2
But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes His work in me

VERSE 3
Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for His name

CHORUS 3
But mine is armor for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And He has said He will deliver
Safely to the golden shore

And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

BRIDGE
Come rejoice now, O my soul
For His love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore!

CHORUS 4
And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

CALL TO WORSHIP

SCRIPTURE READING (Psalm 95:6–7a)

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

ADORATION

GREAT ARE YOU LORD

VERSE 1
You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken

PRE-CHORUS
Great are You, Lord

CHORUS
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
to You only

VERSE 2
You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken

BRIDGE 1
All the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry
These bones will sing
Great are You, Lord

CONFESSION

CALL AND RESPONSE BASED ON ISAIAH 53:3–4

LEADER:
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;

TOGETHER:
yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

LEADER:
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities;

TOGETHER
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

LEADER:
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way;

TOGETHER:
and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

ASSURANCE

SCRIPTURE READING (John 10:11–16)

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

THANKSGIVING

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 laws commands
Should my passion never fade
And my efforts all be weighed
All for sin could not atone
You must save and you alone

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, I to the fount fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

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

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

We couldn't care for ourselves

When I met You,

When I was sinking down,
Sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down,
Sinking down,

When I was sinking down
beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown
For my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

VERSE 3
To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing, I will sing; To God and to the Lamb
I will sing.

To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great I Am;
While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing;

LEADER:
In your love you took upon yourself our sins; innocent, you accepted death to free us from death.

TOGETHER:
We praise you, Lord.

LEADER:
By your love you conquered evil and hatred, and you live forever at the Father’s side.

TOGETHER:
We praise you, Lord.

LEADER:

CALL TO WORSHIP

SCRIPTURE READING (Hebrews 4:14–16)

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

ADORATION

LORD I NEED YOU

VERSE 1 Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the One who guides my heart

CHORUS
Lord, I need You, Oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

VERSE 2
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

BRIDGE
Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand
I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay

CONFESSION

CORPORATE PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Almighty God, You have raised Jesus from death to life, and crowned Him Lord of all. We confess that we have not bowed before Him, or acknowledged His rule in our lives. We have gone along with the ways of the world, and failed to give Him glory. Forgive us and raise us from sin, that we may be Your faithful people, obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who rules the world and is head of the Church, His body. In His name we pray, Amen.

ASSURANCE

MADE ALIVE

VERSE 1
I once was dead in sin
Alone and hopeless
A child of wrath I walked
Condemned in darkness
But Your mercy brought new life
And in Your love and kindness
Raised me up with Christ
And made me righteous

CHORUS 1
You have bought me back
with the riches of
Your amazing grace
and relentless love
I’m made alive forever
with You, life forever
By Your grace I’m saved

VERSE 2
Lord You are the light
That broke the darkness
You satisfy my soul
when I am heartless
If ever I forget my true identity
Show me who I am
and help me to believe

BRIDGE
My sin has been erased
I’ll never be the same

THANKSGIVING

SCRIPTURE READING (1 Corinthians 15:56–57)

My Comforter,
my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

VERSE 2
In Christ alone,
who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love
and righteousness
Scorned by the ones
He came to save

‘Til on that cross
as Jesus died
The wrath of God
was satisfied
For every sin
on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

VERSE 3
There in the ground
His body lay
Light of the world
by darkness slain
Then bursting forth
in glorious Day Up from the grave
He rose again

And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious
blood of Christ

VERSE 4
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

VERSE 5
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

CALL TO WORSHIP

SCRIPTURE READING (Colossians 1:15–20)

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And 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, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

ADORATION

Praise to the Lord

VERSE 3
Praise to the Lord

Gladly forever adore Him

VERSE 4
Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore him
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him
Let the Amen sound from his people again

LEADER
Lord, we look for You in the wrong places. We put our trust in material things. We worry about things we can't change. We wonder if you are even there. For all the times we have doubted You Lord,

TOGETHER
Forgive us.

LEADER
For all the ways we have neglected Your Word and ignored Your people,

TOGETHER
Forgive us. Do not be far from us, Lord. Renew our fickle hearts and help us put our trust in You.

ASSURANCE

HE WILL HOLD ME FAST

VERSE 1
When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail,
He will hold me fast.

I could never keep my hold
Through life’s fearful path;
For my love is often cold;
He must hold me fast.

CHORUS
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.

VERSE 2
Those He saves are His delight,
Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in His holy sight,

He’ll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast.

VERSE 3
For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied;
He will hold me fast.

Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last!

DEATH IN HIS GRAVE

VERSE 1
Though the Earth Cried out for blood
Satisfied her hunger was
Her billows calmed the raging seas
For the souls of men she craved

The sun and moon from balcony
Turned their head in disbelief
Their precious Love would taste the sting
Disfigured and disdained

CHORUS 1
On Friday a thief
On Sunday a King Laid down in grief
But awoke with the keys

Of Hell on that day
The First Born of the Slain
The Man Jesus Christ
Laid death in His grave

VERSE 2
So three days in darkness slept
The Morning Sun of Righteousness
But rose to shame the throes of death
And over turn his rule

Now daughters and the sons of men
Would pay not their dues again
The debt of blood they owed was rent
When the day rolled anew

BRIDGE
He has cheated
Hell and seated
Us above the fall

In desperate places
He paid our wages
One time once and for all

REVIVE US AGAIN

VERSE 1
We praise Thee, O God
For the Son of Thy love
For Jesus who died
And is now gone above

CHORUS 1
Hallelujah! Thine the glory
Hallelujah! Amen
Hallelujah! Thine the glory
Revive us again

VERSE 2
We praise Thee, O God
For Thy Spirit of light
Who hath shown us our Savior
And scattered our night

VERSE 3
All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain
Who hath borne all our sins
And hath cleansed every stain

VERSE 4
All glory and praise
To the God of all grace
Who hast brought us and sought us
And guided our ways

VERSE 5
Revive us again
Fill each heart with Thy love
May each soul be rekindled
With fire from above

CALL TO WORSHIP

SCRIPTURE READING (Genesis 12:1–3)

Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

ADORATION

COME THOU FOUNT

VERSE 1
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

VERSE 2
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

VERSE 3
O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for Thy courts above

CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

ASSURANCE

CORPORATE SCRIPTURE READING (Galatians 4:4-7)

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US

VERSE 1
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

CHORUS 1
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

VERSE 2
Behold the Man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

CHORUS 2
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

VERSE 3
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

CHORUS 3
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

SCRIPTURE READING (Mark 10:13–16)

And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

GOOD GOOD FATHER

I've heard a thousand stories
Of what they think You're like
But I've heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
You tell me that You're pleased
And that I'm never alone

CHORUS
You're a good, good father
It's who You are,
It's who You are,
It's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am,
It's who I am,
It's who I am

VERSE 2
I've seen many searching
For answers far and wide
But I know we're all searching
For answers only You provide
Because You know just what we need
Before we say a word

BRIDGE
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
To us

VERSE 3
Love so undeniable I...
I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable I...
I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
Into love love love

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 has been
Thou forever wilt be

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided

CONFESSION

CALL AND RESPONSE

LEADER: O our God, we are ashamed and blush to lift our faces to you, our God, for our iniquities have risen higher than our head, and our guilt has mounted up to the heavens.

TOGETHER: We have set our minds on things beneath, which should have been set on things above, where our treasure is, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God; these are the things which we should seek.

LEADER: We have paid regard to vain idols and forsaken our hope of steadfast love; have forsaken the fountain of living waters, for cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

TOGETHER: We have trampled the head of the poor into the dust of the earth, and have been anxious concerning what we shall eat and what we shall drink and what we shall wear, the things after which the Gentiles seek. We have lifted up our souls to what is false, and set our eyes on that which is nothing; have looked at the things that are seen, which are temporal, but the things that are eternal have been forgotten and postponed.

ASSURANCE

HIS MERCY IS MORE

VERSE 1
What love could remember no wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more

VERSE 2
What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father, so tender, is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more

VERSE 3
What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost
We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more

CHORUS
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more

PASSING THE PEACE

PROCLAMATION

SCRIPTURE READING (Mark 10:1–12)

And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again. And again, as was his custom, he taught them.

And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” He answered them, “What did Moses command you?” They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.” And Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

CHRIST IS MINE

VERSE 1
Mine are days that God has numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings

CHORUS 1
But mine is hope in my Redeemer
Though I fall, His love is sure
For Christ has paid for every failing
I am His forevermore

VERSE 2
Mine are tears in times of sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good

CHORUS 2
But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes His work in me

VERSE 3
Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for His name

CHORUS 3
But mine is armor for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And He has said He will deliver
Safely to the golden shore

And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

BRIDGE
Come rejoice now, O my soul
For His love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore!

CHORUS 4
And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

HOW HE LOVES

VERSE 1
He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight
Of His wind and mercy

When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions
Eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me

PRECHORUS And oh, how He loves us so Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us all

CHORUS
He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves

VERSE 2
We are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking

So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way that
