To God be the glory (x3) for the things He has done. With His blood He has saved me, with His power He has raised me. To God be the glory for  the things He has done.

1.  “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” (UMH 110)

1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing our helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing for still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe his craft and power are great and armed with cruel hate on earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing were not the right man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He Lord Sabaoth, His name from age to age the same and He must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us we will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us the Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him his rage we can endure for lo, his doom is sure one little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth the Spirit and the gifts are ours, through Him who with us sideth let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also the body they may kill God’s truth abideth still His kingdom is forever.

1 Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Thou art the potter, I am the clay. Mold me and make me after Thy will, While I am waiting, yielded and still.
2 Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Search me and try me, Savior today! Wash me just now, Lord, wash me just now, as in Thy presence humbly I bow.
3 Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Wounded and weary, help me, I pray. Power, all power surely is Thine; touch me and heal me, Savior divine.
4 Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Hold o’er my being absolute sway. Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see Christ only, always, living in me.

1. I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who dwell in deepest 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?
   REFRAIN:
   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.
2. 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 to them, Whom shall I send? REFRAIN
3. 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 to them. Whom shall I send? REFRAIN

Shalom to you now, shalom, my friends, May God’s full mercies bless you, my friends. In all your living and through your loving, Christ be your shalom, Christ be your shalom

1. What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms; what a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms.
Refrain: Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.
2. O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way leaning on the everlasting arms; O how bright the path grows from day to day, leaning on the everlasting arms. (Refrain)
3. What have I to dread, what have I to fear, leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms. (Refrain)

The Lord is blessing me right now, right now! The Lord is blessing me right now, right now! He woke me up this morning, and started me on my way.
The Lord is blessing me right now, right now, right now!

The Lord is blessing me right now, right now! The Lord is blessing me right now, right now! 
He woke me up this morning, and started me on my way. The Lord is blessing me right now, right now, right now.
