This Is Amazing Grace


Who breaks the power of sin and darkness?
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger?
The King of glory, the King above all kings


Who shakes the whole earth with holy
thunder?
And leaves us breathless in awe and
wonder?
The King of glory, the King above all kings


Chorus
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You laid down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh, Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me


Who brings our chaos back into order?
Who makes the orphans a son and
daughter?
The King of glory, the King of glory


Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of glory, the King above all kings


Chorus


Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy

Yes and Amen


Father of kindness, you have poured out grace
You brought me out of darkness
You have filled me with peace
Giver of mercy, you're my help in time of need
Lord I can't help but sing


Chorus

Faithful, you are
Faithful forever you will be
Faithful, you are
All your promises are yes and Amen
All your promises are yes and Amen


Beautiful Saviour, you have brought me near
You pulled me from the ashes
You have broken every curse
Blessed redeemer, you have set this captive free
Lord, I can't help but sing


Chorus


I will rest in your promises
My confidence is your faithfulness

O Praise the Name
(Anástasis)


I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet
My Saviour on that cursed tree
His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone


Chorus

O praise the Name of the Lord our God
O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God


Then on the third at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death where is your sting?
The angels roar for Christ the King


Chorus


He shall return in robes of white
The blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face


Chorus

How Great Thou Art


Oh Lord, my God, When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed


Chorus
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art


When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze


Chorus


And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin


Chorus


When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

Living Hope


How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke your name into the night
Then through the darkness
Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope


Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless
grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The king of kings calls me His own
Beautiful saviour, I'm yours forever
Jesus Christ, my living hope


Hallelujah, praise the one who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Repeat


Then came the morning that sealed the
promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the roaring lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me


Then came the morning that sealed the
promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the roaring lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Jesus, yours is the victory, whoa!


Hallelujah, praise the one who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Repeat

What a Beautiful Name


You were the word at the beginning
One with God the Lord most high
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in you, our Christ


What a beautiful name it is
What a beautiful name it is
The name of Jesus Christ my King


What a beautiful name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a beautiful name it is
The name of Jesus


You didn't want heaven without us
So Jesus, you brought heaven down
My sin was great, your love was greater
What could separate us now?


What a wonderful name it is
What a wonderful name it is
The name of Jesus Christ my king


What a wonderful name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful name it is
The name of Jesus
What a wonderful name it is
The name of Jesus


Death could not hold you
The veil tore before you
You silenced the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring
The praise of your glory
For you are raised to life again


You have no rival
You have no equal
Now and forever, God you reign
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the glory
Yours is the name, above all names


What a powerful name it is
What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus Christ my king


What a powerful name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus


What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus
What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus

The National Anthem


God save our gracious Queen!

Long live our noble Queen!

God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us,

God save the Queen.


Thy choicest gifts in store

On her be pleased to pour,

Long may she reign.

May she defend our laws,

And ever give us cause,

To sing with heart and voice,

God save the Queen.
