You Are My King Foote, Billy
I'm forgiven, because You were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again
! Amazing love, how can it be
That You my King would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor You
WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS
You are my King, You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
Jesus, You are my King

Scripture Reading
2 Corinthians 9:6-11
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoev er sows
generously will also reap gen erouslyC 7 Each man should give what he has decided in his
heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giverC 8 And God
is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at al l Bmes, having all that you
need, you will abound in every good workC 9 As it is wriNen: MHe has scaNered abroad his
giRs to the poorQ his righteousness endures foreverCM 10 Now he who supplies seed to the
sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge
the harvest of your righteousnessC 11 You will be mad e rich in ev ery way so that you can be
generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to
GodC
Gi+e Thanks Smith, Henry
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy OneQ
Give thanks because He's given
Jesus Christ, His SonC (repeat)
And now let the weak say, MI am strongCM
Let the poor say, MI am richM
Because of what the Lord has done for usC
(repeat)
Give thanksC
