Worthy Is the Lamb

Interlude (Pastor Dave and Jason Lowe)

Chorus:
Worthy is the Lamb seated on the throne.
Crown You now with many crowns, You reign victorious.
High and lifted up, Jesus, Son of God.
The Treasure of heaven crucified. Worthy is the Lamb.

Thank You for the cross, Lord. Thank You for the price You paid.
Bearing all my sin and shame,
In love You came and gave amazing grace.
Thank You for this love, Lord.
Thank You for the nail-pierced hands.
Wash me in Your cleansing flow;
Now all I know, Your forgiveness and embrace.

(Repeat chorus and verse.)

High and lifted up, Jesus, Son of God.
The Treasure of heaven crucified. Worthy is the Lamb.

Songs of Adoration

O Mighty Cross (#317 vs. 1-2, 4)

O mighty cross, Love lifted high,
The Lord of life raised there to die;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me.

O mighty cross, what throne of grace,
He knew no sin, yet took my place;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me.

O mighty cross, my soul’s release;
The stripes He bore have brought me peace;
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me.
Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me.
(David Baroni & John Chisum ©1994 Integrity’s Hosanna! Music ARR, UBP)

I Will Praise Him (#497 refrain, vs. 3-4)

Refrain:
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.

Blessed be the name of Jesus! I’m so glad He took me in;
He’s forgiven my transgressions,
He has cleansed my heart from sin. (Refrain)

Glory, glory to the Father! Glory, glory to the Son!
Glory, glory to the Spirit! Glory to the Three in One! (Refrain)

Fellowship Offering

Song of Affirmation

Once Again

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice;
You became nothing, poured out to death.
Many times I’ve wondered at Your gift of life;
And I’m in that place once again, I’m in that place once again.

Chorus:
And once again I look upon the cross where You died;
I’m humbled by Your mercy and I’m broken inside.
Once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life.

Now You are exalted to the highest place;
King of the heavens, where one day I’ll bow.
But for now, I marvel at Your saving grace.
And I’m full of praise once again,
I’m full of praise once again. (Chorus)

Thank You for the cross, thank You for the cross,
Thank You for the cross, my King. (Chorus)

Once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life.
