*Praise Song - “Thy Word”
REFRAIN: Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
When I feel afraid, think I’ve lost my way, still You’re there right beside me.
And nothing will I fear as long as You are near. Please be near me to the
end. REFRAIN...
I will not forget Your love for me, and yet my heart forever is wandering.
Jesus be my guide and hold me to Your side, and I will love You to the
end. REFRAIN…

*Praise Song - “Here I Am to Worship”
Light of the world, you stepped down into darkness, opened my eyes, let me
see. Beauty that made this heart adore you, hope of a life spent with you.
REFRAIN: Here I am to worship; here I am to bow down; here I am to
say that you’re my God. You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me.
King of all days, oh so highly exalted, glorious in heaven above. Humbly
you came to the earth you created, all for love’s sake became poor.
REPEAT REFRAIN…
(Bridge): I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
REPEAT REFRAIN...

*Praise Song - “Ten Thousand Reasons”
REFRAIN: Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul; worship his holy
name. Sing like never before, O my soul; I’ll worship your holy name.
The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning; it’s time to sing your song again.
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when
the evening comes. REFRAIN…
You’re rich in love, and you’re slow to anger. Your name is great, and
your heart is kind. For all your goodness, I will keep on singing
ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. REFRAIN…
And on that day when my strength is failing, the end draws near, and my
time has come; still my soul will sing your praise unending ten thousand
years and then forever more! REFRAIN…(repeating “worship your holy
name, worship your holy name” at the end) CCLI License No 1222159
