O God, You are my God,
And I will ever praise You!
O God, You are my God,
And I will ever praise You!
I will seek You in the morning,
And I will learn to walk in Your ways;
And step by step You'll lead me,
And I will follow You all of my days.
Sanctuary Thompson, John W. / Scruggs, Randy
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary,
Pure and holy, tried and true;
With thanksgiving,
I'll be a living sanctuary for You.
When I'm tempted to forget Your power,
I'll remember the word You spoke to me,
I am with you, at every moment,
I'll not leave you, count on Me.

He Has Made Me Glad Von Brethorst, Leona
I will enter His gates
With thanksgiving in my heart.
I will enter His courts with praise.
I will say, this is the day that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
Shout To The Lord Zschech, Darlene
Shout to the Lord all the earth let us sing,
Power and majesty praise to the King.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar,
At the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands.
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand.
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.

Here I Am To Worship Hughes, Tim
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
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

We Believe Hooper | Fike | Ryan
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's coming back again

Surely The Presence Wolfe, Lanny
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place,
I can feel His mighty power and His grace.
I can hear the brush of angels' wings;
I see glory on each face,
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

Born of the virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried
He descended into hell, on the third day, He rose again
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of
God the Father, Almighty
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
