Together we are God’s temple
Set apart to the Lord
The place in which our God now dwells
Established by His Word
We stand on the gospel knowing
Christ is our cornerstone
Built together ever growing
In Christ and Christ alone
So come ready your God to meet
Your Lord to now worship
Before the feast of His Word eat
And love the fellowship
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past)
In Christ we are now all welcome
As part of His body
Citizens of His new kingdom
Part of His family
So draw near to our God above
Rejoice and ever sing
Commit to each other in love
And serve our gracious King
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past)
Christ is our peace – the battle’s won
Now we are His body
He died for us to make us one
So walk in unity
Christ is our peace – the battle’s won
To God we’re reconciled
Come to the Father through the Son
As His beloved child
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
We once were far away from You
But now the path is clear:
Christ shed His blood, our hearts You drew
And we have been brought near
In Christ we have your salvation
And Your countless blessings
Your promises and adoption
And hope of His coming
So help us now walk close to You
With thanks, humility
With living hope ‘til all is new
Proclaim Your great mercy
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
I once was going my own way
Condemned for all my sin
But Jesus died – rose the third day
My salvation to win
And this good news one day I learned
And by grace I received
From all my sin I gladly turned
And in Christ I believed
Then into my life Jesus came
He is mighty to save
He changed me – gave me a new name
And all my sins forgave
(To the tune of “Amazing Grace”)
I have a new identity:
Beloved of God above
How can this be, that God loves me?
I’ll rest in His great love
I have a new identity
A trophy of His grace
What wonder that my God saved me
To Him be all the praise
I have a new identity
His work of art- it’s true!
Amazing He’s at work in me
Humbly His work I’ll do
(To the tune of “Amazing Grace”)
I once was dead in all my sin
But Jesus died for me
He rose again – I’m raised in Him
From sin’s pow-er set free
I once followed this fallen world
The devil, my own way
But Jesus came – his grace unfurled
That I might Him obey
I once lived under God’s just wrath
And on my way to hell
But God set me on a new path
That I with Him might dwell
Believe, this gospel now embrace
And for the lost let’s pray
To everyone proclaim His grace
And live for Him today
(To the tune of “Amazing Grace”)
Together we are His body
Christ our exalted Head
Belov’d and cherished now are we
And by Him we are fed
Together we are His fullness
Filled with his grace, glory
His love, his pow-er, His presence
That Christ others might see
As His fullness now let us live
Show Christ in everything
His body blessed by all he gives
Let all rejoice and sing
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
Jesus is far above all things
All powers, ev’ry name
He is the sovereign King of Kings
Forever He will reign
He is the sovereign King of Kings
Forever He will reign
So let us walk in peace today
Hope in our coming King
Submit in all we do and say
His praises ever sing
Submit in all we do and say
His praises ever sing
(To the tune of “All Hail The Power of Jesus’ Name”)
Open our eyes that we might see
Our hearts to really know
Your great blessings so vast and free
That from Christ ever flow
To know our glor’ous God above
Our hope in this dark night
His wonderful amazing love
The power of His might
To know these wonders of Your grace
And in them ever live
And offering unceasing praise
Our thanks to You we give
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
