OFFERTORY HIDING PLACE Sara Groves, Travis Cottrell
Early when the day is new Before the stirring I will come and talk to you And confess the ways I am broken To recall the words you've spoken And to try to comprehend The love you have for me (Chorus) You are my hiding place You fill my broken heart with songs Songs of deliverance You sing of how the weak are strong
You hear my desperate calling You have kept my feet from falling And have set me on this rock on which I'm standing now
LIFE TOGETHER
Scott Elliott
Lamentations 3:22-23 When I Survey the Wondrous Cross/ O the Wonderful Cross The God of Mercy Hears My Cry
PASTORAL PRAYER
Dr. Jimmy Young
(Chorus) And I believe you For you've saved me from my darkness and my shame And I believe you For I hear your song of beauty grow with pain
