Opening Song “Egypt”

Egypt
by Brian Johnson, Cory Asbury, Ethan Hulse, Lee Cummings, and Phil Wickham
© 2019 Bethel Music Publishing

Verse 1:
I won’t forget the wonder of how You brought
Deliverance, the exodus of my heart

PreChorus:
You found me; You freed me
Held back the waters for my release
Oh Yahweh

Chorus:
You’re the God who fights for me
Lord of every victory
Hallelujah, hallelujah
You have torn apart the sea
You have led me through the deep
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Verse 2:
A cloud by day is a sign that You are with me
The fire by night is the guiding light to my feet

Bridge:
'Cause You stepped into my Egypt
And You took me by the hand
And You marched me out in freedom
Into the promised land
Now I will not forget You, God
I’ll sing of all You’ve done
Death is swallowed up forever
By the fury of Your love

Praise Song “Be Still My Soul”

Be Still My Soul
by Ketrina Joy; inspired by UMH 534
℗ 2019 Ketrina Joy

Verse 1:
Be still my soul
The Lord is on Your side
Bear patiently
The cross of grief or pain
Leave it to Your God
To order and provide
In every change
He faithful will remain
Be still my soul
Your best and heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways
Leads to a joyful end

Verse 2:
Be still my soul
Your God does undertake
To guide the future
As He has the past
Your hope, Your confidence
Let nothing shake
All now mysterious
Will be bright at last
Be still my soul
The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them
While He dwelt below

Chorus:
I will bless the Lord at all times
I will sing His praise
In every high and every low
I will bless the Lord at all times
He's forever faithful
Forever faithful

Verse 3:
Be still my soul
The hour is hastening on
When we will be
Forever with the Lord
When disappointment
Grief and fear are gone
Sorrows forgot
Love's purest joys restored
Be still my soul
The Sun of Life divine
Through passing clouds
Will but more brightly shine

Pastoral Prayer / Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power. and the glory forever. Amen.

Closing Song “No Longer Slaves”

No Longer Slaves
by Jonathan David Helser and Melissa Helser
© 2014 Bethel Music Publishing

Verse 1:
You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with asong
Of deliverance from my enemies
Till all my fears are gone

Chorus:
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

Verse 2:
From my Mother's womb, You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I've been born again into Your family
Your blood flows through my veins

Bridge:
You split the sea so I could
Walk right through it
My fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued me so I could stand and sing
I am a child of God
