Preparation of the Gifts | Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
Unending love, Amazing grace
Communion | O Come to the Altar
Are you hurting and broken within
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
the Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
the precious blood of Jesus Christ
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today there’s no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes, a new life is born
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
the Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
the precious blood of Jesus Christ
Repeat
Oh, what a Savior
isn’t He wonderful
Sing alleluia
Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
for He is Lord of all
Sing alleluia
Christ is risen
Repeat as many times as necessary
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure you’ve found…
Closing | He Is Alive
He is alive He is alive He is alive
He is alive He is alive He is alive
He is alive He is alive He is alive
He is alive He is alive He is alive
He is alive and He’s shown me the way
He gives me joy to begin ev’ry day
He is alive and He’s opened the door
He gives me hope to live life evermore
He is alive and so I celebrate
This is the story that I must relate
He is alive and I love Him
I am alive and He loves me
He is alive and I love Him
I am alive and He loves me
Ah
He is alive!
