SONG: "In Christ Alone"
Words/Music: Stuart Townend
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, Who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the pow'r of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand

SONG: "This Is What We Live For"
Words/Music: Big Daddy Weave
VERSE 1
What can I do with this fire on the inside?
I'm burnin' up with a truth I can't hide
You're the reason for this hope in my life
I'm gonna let it shine
I have to let it shine
CHORUS
This is what we live for
To go where You say go
To let the whole world know
You're the Light in the darkness.
This is what we live for
To love the way You love
So God be lifted up
Come be Light in the darkness.
This is what we live for (x3)
VERSE 2
When You breathe, even dry bones come alive
When You speak, God, You shut down every lie
You're the reason for this hope in our lives
I'm gonna testify,
I have to testify
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE
Chasing Your Heart
And all that You are
We surrender
Surrender all

above it all

I said, whatcha gonna do with this fire on the inside?
(CHORUS)
