Satan had me bound . . .
I LOVE YOU LORD TODAY
I love you, I love you,
I love you Lord today
Because you cared for me in such a special way
That’s why I praise you,
I lift you up, and I magnify your name
That’s why my heart is filled with praise
My heart, my mind, my soul belongs to you
You paid the price for me way back on Calvary
That’s why I praise you,
I lift you up, and I magnify your name
That’s why my heart is filled with praise

I GIVE MYSELF AWAY
I give myself away. I give myself
Away so You can use me
I give myself away. I give myself
Away so You can use me
Here I am, here I stand
Lord, my life is in your hands
Lord, I'm longing to see
Your desires revealed in me
Take my heart, take my life
As a living sacrifice
All my dreams all my plans
Lord I place them in your hands
My life is not my own
To you I belong
I give myself, I give myself to you
WELCOME INTO THIS PLACE
Welcome into this place
Welcome into this broken vessel
You desire to abide in the praises
of your people
So we lift our hands, and lift our
Hearts
As we offer up this praise unto
your name
LORD YOU ARE AWESOME
Lord You are awesome (4x)
If it wasn’t for Your love
If it wasn’t for Your grace
I don’t know where I’d be without You.
(2x)
You are awesome.

If not, see Brenda Stucky in the narthex after service.
We cannot be distracted. Ahead of November, we must remain all in on educating, engaging and mobilizing Black America. All in on fighting for policies that will advance, not undermine our progress. We must remain all in on our community, standing as a powerful front as we head to the ballot box to defend democracy.
SUNDAY MORNING PARKING AT GFCC
Please note that small red cones are placed in the parking spaces that are owned by the church. These cones designate where you can park on the church parking lot. We are seeking volunteers to come early (by 9:00 AM) to put out cones and direct GFCC members & visitors where to park. Please note that we have limited parking, so you should plan to come to church early to acquire one of these spaces. We have several churches. We have 8 churches that are within a block of GFCC therefore parking in parking lots and on the streets is limited. Please see security or the Board of Trustees if you need assistance or have questions. Thanks for your assistance as we seek to live in an urban environment of limited parking.
