Sermon Songs: Hebrews 12:18-29

We do not come to what we can see
We do not need to hang back in fear
From our guilt Jesus has set us free
And He invites us to now draw near

Chorus
Fast, Fast, Hold fast
Hold fast to Jesus the Better One
Near, Near, Draw Near
Draw near to God through His only Son

When we draw near in worship and prayer
We come to God’s heavenly city
With God’s people and the angels there
Jesus whose blood cleanses you and me

(Repeat Chorus)

And in the center – behold our God
For we have come into His presence
Offer Him gratitude, honor, laud
Worship Him with awe and reverence

(Repeat Chorus)
