Come the Fount of Every Blessing

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

Here I raise my Ebenezer, here by Thy great help I've 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

Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be
Let that grace now,  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, oh take and seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above. 

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound

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.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

Invitation to Worship

Some of us are beginning something new.
A new semester.
A new season.
A new question we’re not sure how to answer.

God meets us here.

Some of us come excited.
Some uncertain.
Some simply wondering what comes next.

God meets us here.

So bring what you hope for,
bring what you’re carrying,
bring the life you actually have.

And together, let us worship the God
who is already making all things new.

What Grace is Mine 

What grace is mine that he who dwells in endless light
Called through the night to find my distant soul
And from his scars, poured mercy that would plead for me
That I might live, and in his name be known. 

So I will Go wherever he is calling me
I lose my life to find my life in him.
I give my all to gain the hope that never dies
I bow my heart to take up my cross and follow him. 

What grace is mine to know his breath alive in me;
Beneath his wings my wakened soul may soar. 
All fear can flee, from death’s dark night is overcome
My savior lives and reigns forever more. 

So I will Go wherever he is calling me
I lose my life to find my life in him.
I give my all to gain the hope that never dies
I bow my heart to take up my cross and follow him.

Here I Am, Lord

I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save, 
I who made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go, Lord, if you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart

I, the Lord of snow and rain
I have borne my people's pain
I have wept for love of them
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone, 
Give them hearts for love alone,
I will speak my word for them
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go, Lord, if you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of wind and flame
I will tend the poor and lame
I will set a feast for them
My hand will save. 
Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied
I will give my life for them
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go, Lord, if you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart
