THE LORD IS BLESSING ME

 

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

 

THIS IS THE DAY MEDLEY


This is the day, this is the day
that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice
and be glad in it, and be glad in it

This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day, this is the day
that the Lord has made

I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart
I will enter His courts with praise
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice for He has made me glad

He has made me glad, He has made me glad
I will rejoice for He has made me glad
He has made me glad, He has made me glad
I will rejoice for He has made me glad

O magnify the Lord for He is worthy to be praised
O magnify the Lord for He is worthy to be praised
Hosanna!  Blessed be the rock
Blessed be the rock of my salvation
Hosanna!  Blessed be the rock
Blessed be the rock of my salvation

 

I LOVE TO PRAISE HIM

 

(I love to praise Him)

I love to praise His name

(I love to praise Him)

I love to praise His name

(I love to praise Him)

I love to praise His name
I love to praise His holy name.

He's my rock, my rock, my sword and shield,
He's my wheel in the middle of a wheel.
I know He'll never, never let me down;
He's just a jewel that I have found.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I love to praise His name.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I love to praise His name.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I love to praise His name.
I love to praise His holy name.

WE'RE BLESSED

 

Blessed!  Blessed!  Blessed!  Blessed!

 

Since thou has walked uprightly as a light in a dark land

Since thou has placed in thine hearts all the Lord's commands

He set thee above nations and cast thine enemies away

He's standing up within thee so let me hear you say

 

We're blessed in the city, we're blessed in the field

We're blessed when we come and when we go

We cast down every stronghold, Sickness and poverty must cease

For the devil is defeated, we are blessed!

 

Thou believeth in God only and put no confidence in man

Everything that does concern thee, you placed it in hs hand

Though a host rise up against thee to try and spoil the day

They'll march in one road to harm thee but they'll flee seven ways

 

We're blessed in the city, we're blessed in the field

We're blessed when we come and when we go

We cast down every stronghold, Sickness and poverty must cease

For the devil is defeated, we are blessed!

 

Blessed!  Blessed!  Blessed!  Blessed!

 

Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around

It's gonna work in your favor

Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around

And around, and around, and around

Join Pastor Lloyd for Wednesday in the Word

We are studying the book of II Kings. The study picks up with David making Solomon king to succeed him on the throne. Solomon had mixed results, with his wealth and wisdom being known worldwide. He built palaces and cities, and a beautiful temple. -The house of the Lord did not match. But while on the throne, he also allowed idol worship to creep into the kingdom. And after his death, a civil war tore the nation in two. Successive kings were mainly terrible, and the prophet Elijah had dramatic confrontations with King Ahab, who could forget Jezebel on the scene.  Join us Wednesday nights at 7:30 pm.
