WORTH
You thought I was worth saving so You came and changed my life
You thought I was worth keeping so You cleaned me up inside
You thought I was to die for so You sacrificed your life
So I could be free, so I could be whole
So I could tell everyone I know
Halle-lujah
Glory to the God who changed my life
I will praise You, forever
I will worship You, forever
I will give You glory, forever
Because I am free, because I am whole
And I will tell everyone I know
HAVE THINE OWN WAY LORD
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.
Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master today!
Whiter than snow Lord, wash me just now,
As in thy presence humbly I bow.
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!
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!
THE STORM IS PASSING OVER
The storm is passing over - Hallelu!
The storm is passing over - Hallelu! Troubles in life that we all face Feeling as though there is no way I know the Lord has promised us a brighter day
The storm is passing over - Hallelu!
You can weather the storm
if you put your trust in God
VAMP
The storm is passing over!
The storm is passing over!
Church Theme 2023
“Year of Miraculous Outpouring & Majestic Praise”
Exodus 15:6 , 11; Psalm 8:1; Psalm 29:4; Psalm 111:3; 2 Peter 1:17; Psalm 77:4
Matthew 11:20-2; Acts 19:11; Acts 12:28; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Hebrews 2:4
God is doing a new thing and taking us to a new level. He calls us to seek Him and will do miracles in our midst. This year we are praying for miracles in our lives, the lives of our families, and our Church family. As we pray and seek His face, we are going to give God Majestic Praise along the way. The songwriters said: I seek a miracle every day and I want to Praise Him.

Join Pastor Lloyd for Wednesday in the Word
Since Wednesday, May 17th, we have started the study of 1 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.
