    The Joy

    This is the day You made

    So I'll rejoice and be glad

    Rejoice and be glad in it

    This is where I believe

    That You are more than enough

    More than enough for me

    You are faithful to Your promise

    You are strong when I am weak

    When I'm standing in Your presence

    I have everything I need

    The joy of the Lord

    The joy of the Lord is my strength

    The joy of the Lord

    The joy of the Lord is my strength

    Oh my soul, bless His name

    All that is within me say

    The joy of the Lord

    The joy of the Lord is my strength

    Jesus, come what may

    You are worthy of all, worthy of all my praise

    You are faithful to Your promise

    You are strong when I am weak

    When I'm standing in Your presence

    I have everything I need

    The joy of the Lord

    The joy of the Lord is my strength

    The joy of the Lord

    The joy of the Lord is my strength

    Oh my soul, bless His name

    All that is within me say

    The joy of the Lord

    The joy of the Lord is my strength

    Let it rise up like a river

    Overflowing, Holy Spirit

    Let it pour out with no limit

    Overflowing, Holy Spirit

    So let it rise up like a river

    Overflowing, Holy Spirit

    Let it pour out with no limit

    Overflowing, Holy Spirit

    The joy of the Lord

    The joy of the Lord is my strength

    The joy of the Lord

    The joy of the Lord is my strength

    Oh my soul, bless His name

    All that is within me say

    Oh my soul, bless His name

    All that is within me say
    Oh my soul, bless His name

    All that is within me say

    The joy of the Lord

    The joy of the Lord is my strength

    "Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted his people and will have compassion on his afflicted. But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me.” “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me."

    -Isaiah 49.13-16

    Jesus Name

    Take my heart and my hands, I lay down my life

    You already know my mind

    You knew it before I was alive

    You knew me before I was alive

    I know that You will always be

    The one who fights for me

    I'll sing Your praise and the darkness shakes

    At the sound of Your Name, Jesus

    There's no reason to doubt

    There's no compromise

    God You've never left my side

    You knew me before I was alive

    Jesus You loved me before I was alive

    I know that You will always be

    The one who fights for me

    I'll sing Your praise and the darkness shakes

    At the sound of Your Name, Jesus

    The anxiety pouring over me

    Be washed away

    'Cause the enemy has no hold on me

    In Jesus Name

    The anxiety pouring over me

    Be washed away

    'Cause the enemy has no hold on me

    In Jesus Name

    I'm free, I'm free

    I'm saved and I'm free, You set me free

    I'm free, I'm free

    I'm saved and I'm free, You set me free

    I know that You will always be

    The one who fights for me

    I'll sing Your praise and the darkness shakes

    At the sound of Your Name, Jesus

    Homecoming

    Lord I confess that I've been a criminal

    I've stolen Your breath and sang my own song

    And Lord I confess that I'm far from innocent

    These shackles I wear, I bought on my own

    Scarlet sins had a crimson cost

    You nailed my debt to that old rugged cross

    An empty slate at the empty grave

    Thank God that stone was rolled away

    Lord I confess, I've been the prodigal

    Made for Your house but walked my own roads

    Then Jesus came and tore down my prison walls

    Death came to life when He called me by name

    Scarlet sins had a crimson cost

    You nailed my debt to that old rugged cross

    An empty slate at the empty grave

    Thank God that stone was rolled away

    Scarlet sins had a crimson cost

    You nailed my debt to that old rugged cross

    An empty slate at the empty grave

    Thank God that stone was rolled away

    I see bright crimson robes draped over the ashes

    A wide open tomb where there should be a casket

    The children are singing and dancing and laughing

    The Father is welcoming, this is our homecoming

    I see roses in bloom pushed up from the embers

    Rivers of tears flow from good times remembered

    Families are singing and dancing and laughing

    The Father is welcoming, this is our homecoming

    Heaven joins in with a glorious sound

    And the great cloud of witnesses all gather 'round

    'Cause the ones that were lost are finally found

    The Father is welcoming, this is our homecoming

    Scarlet sins had a crimson cost

    You nailed my debt to that old rugged cross

    An empty slate at the empty grave

    Thank God that stone was rolled away

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh

    The Father is welcoming, this is our homecoming

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh

    The Father is welcoming, this is our homecoming

    All Hail King Jesus

    There was a moment when the lights went out

    When death had claimed its victory

    The King of Love had given up his life

    The darkest day in history

    There on a cross they made for sinners

    For every curse His blood atoned

    One final breath and it was finished

    But not the end we could have known

    For the earth began to shake

    And the veil was torn

    What sacrifice was made

    As the heavens roared

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Lord of Heaven and Earth

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Savior of the World

    There was a moment when the sky lit up

    A flash of light breaking through

    When all was lost He crossed eternity

    The King of Life was on the move

    For in a dark, cold tomb

    Where our Lord was laid

    One miraculous breath

    And we're forever changed

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Lord of Heaven and Earth

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Savior of the World

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Lord of Heaven and Earth

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Savior of the World

    Let every knee come bow before the King of Kings

    Let every tongue confess that He is Lord

    Lift up your shout

    Let us join with all of Heaven

    Singing Holy

    Singing Holy

    Cry out Holy

    Singing Holy

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Lord of Heaven and Earth

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Savior of the World

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Lord of Heaven and Earth

    All hail King Jesus

    All hail the Savior of the World
