SONG - What an Awesome God (Phil Wickham / Rich Mullins)
God is great, give Him all the praise
Hallelujah, Name above all names
Fire in His eyes, healing in His veins
Everywhere, His glory on display
Take a look at those stars, He can name 'em all
Before His throne every knee falls
The demons have to run, the angels have to praise
Even the winds and waves obey
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
And even when I ran, He didn't run away
He came and put death back in its place
Friday on a cross, broken for my shame
Sunday morning rose up from that grave
Take a look at those scars on His hands and feet
He saved our souls for eternity
Worthy is the Lamb, glory to the King
Oh, let all the saints and the angels sing
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Eyes on the sky, there will be a day
He will come and wipe our tears away
No more fear, no more pain
No more sorrow, sin or shame
The King is coming back again
A reign of love that will never end
For everything You've done and everything You do
And everything You are, I'll sing to You
My God, You're an awesome God
You're great in all You do
I'm made to worship You
My God, You're an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Our God, what an awesome God
Hallelujah, Name above all names
Fire in His eyes, healing in His veins
Everywhere, His glory on display
Take a look at those stars, He can name 'em all
Before His throne every knee falls
The demons have to run, the angels have to praise
Even the winds and waves obey
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
And even when I ran, He didn't run away
He came and put death back in its place
Friday on a cross, broken for my shame
Sunday morning rose up from that grave
Take a look at those scars on His hands and feet
He saved our souls for eternity
Worthy is the Lamb, glory to the King
Oh, let all the saints and the angels sing
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Eyes on the sky, there will be a day
He will come and wipe our tears away
No more fear, no more pain
No more sorrow, sin or shame
The King is coming back again
A reign of love that will never end
For everything You've done and everything You do
And everything You are, I'll sing to You
My God, You're an awesome God
You're great in all You do
I'm made to worship You
My God, You're an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

Our God, what an awesome God
SONG - Praise (Elevation Worship)
I'll praise in the valley
Praise on the mountain
I'll praise when I'm sure
And praise when I'm doubting
I'll praise when outnumbered
Praise when surrounded
'Cause praise is the water
My enemies drown in
As long as I'm breathing
I've got a reason to
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
I'll praise when I feel it
And I'll praise when I don't
I'll praise 'cause I know
You're still in control
Because my praise is a weapon
It's more than a sound
my praise is the shout
That brings Jericho down
As long as I'm breathing
I've got a reason to
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
I won't be quiet, my God is alive
So how could I keep it inside?
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
I'll praise 'cause You're sovereign
Praise 'cause You reign
Praise 'cause You rose and defeated the grave
I'll praise 'cause You're faithful
Praise 'cause You're true
Praise 'cause there's nobody greater than You
I'll praise 'cause You're sovereign
Praise 'cause You reign
Praise 'cause You rose and defeated the grave
I'll praise 'cause You're faithful
Praise 'cause You're true
Praise 'cause there's nobody greater than You
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
I won't be quiet, my God is alive
How could I keep it inside?
I won't be quiet, my God is alive
How could I keep it inside?
I won't be quiet, my God is alive
How could I keep it inside?
praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise on the mountain
I'll praise when I'm sure
And praise when I'm doubting
I'll praise when outnumbered
Praise when surrounded
'Cause praise is the water
My enemies drown in
As long as I'm breathing
I've got a reason to
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
I'll praise when I feel it
And I'll praise when I don't
I'll praise 'cause I know
You're still in control
Because my praise is a weapon
It's more than a sound
my praise is the shout
That brings Jericho down
As long as I'm breathing

Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
I won't be quiet, my God is alive
So how could I keep it inside?

I'll praise 'cause You're sovereign
Praise 'cause You reign
Praise 'cause You rose and defeated the grave
I'll praise 'cause You're faithful
Praise 'cause You're true
Praise 'cause there's nobody greater than You
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord Oh, my soul
I won't be quiet, my God is alive
How could I keep it inside?
I won't be quiet, my God is alive
How could I keep it inside?

SONG - How Great Thou Art (Carl Boberg)
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, My God, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, My God, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee
How great thou art! How great thou art!

SONG - I Thank God (Maverick City Music)
Wandering into the night
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul, this bag of bones
And I tried with all my mind
And I just can't win the fight
I'm slowly drifting, oh vagabond
And just when I ran out of road
I met a man I didn't know
And he told me that I was not alone
He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
I cannot deny what I see
Got no choice but to believe
My doubts are burning
Like ashes in the wind
So, so long to my old friends
Burden and bitter night
You can't just keep them moving
No, you ain't welcome here
From now 'til I walk the streets of gold
I'll sing of how You saved my soul
This wayward child has found their way back home
He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul, this bag of bones
And I tried with all my mind
And I just can't win the fight
I'm slowly drifting, oh vagabond
And just when I ran out of road
I met a man I didn't know
And he told me that I was not alone
He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
I cannot deny what I see
Got no choice but to believe
My doubts are burning
Like ashes in the wind
So, so long to my old friends
Burden and bitter night
You can't just keep them moving
No, you ain't welcome here
From now 'til I walk the streets of gold
I'll sing of how You saved my soul
This wayward child has found their way back home

Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
