1 Thessalonians 4:14-15

For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the

coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

1 My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness; no merit of my own I claim, but wholly trust in Jesus' name.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; in every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds and will not fail.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

3 His oath, His covenant and His blood support me in the rising flood; when all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

4 When the last trumpet's voice shall sound, O may I then in Him be found, clothed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne!

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

Benediction

1 These are the days of Elijah,

declaring the word of the Lord;

and these are the days of your servant, Moses,

righteousness being restored.

And though these are days of great trial,

of famine and darkness and sword,

still we are the voice in the desert crying,

'Prepare ye the way of the Lord.'

Behold, He comes riding on the clouds,

shining like the sun at the trumpet call;

lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee,

out of Zion's hill salvation comes.

2 These are the days of Ezekiel,

the dry bones becoming as flesh;

and these are the days of your servant, David,

rebuilding a temple of praise.

These are the days of the harvest,

the fields are as white in the world,

and we are the labourers in Your vineyard,

declaring the word of the Lord.

Behold, He comes riding on the clouds,

shining like the sun at the trumpet call;

lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee,

out of Zion's hill salvation comes.

1 Jesus is greater than the greatest heroes, Jesus is closer than the closest friends. He came from heaven and He died to save us, to show us love that never ends.

2 Son of God and the Lord of glory, He's the light; follow in His way. He's the truth that we can believe in, and He's the life, He's living today.

1. “For the cause of Christ the King We give our lives, an offering ’Til all the earth resounds With ceaseless praise To the Son

2. For the cause of Christ we go With joy to reap, with faith to sow As many see And many put their trust in the Son

Christ we proclaim, The Name above every name: For all creation, Ev’ry nation, God’s salvation Through the Son!

3. For the King once lifted high To cries of rage, of ‘crucify!’ Endured the cross As every sin was laid On the Son

4. To the King who conquered death To free the poor and the oppressed For lasting peace For life and liberty In the Son

Christ we proclaim,

5. Let it be my life’s refrain: To live is Christ, to die is gain; Deny myself, take up my cross And follow the Son (Repeat verse)

Christ we proclaim, (repeat last chorus)

1 Creation sings the Father's song; He calls the sun to wake the dawn And run the course of day Till evening falls in crimson rays. His fingerprints in flakes of snow, His breath upon this spinning globe, He charts the eagle's flight; Commands the newborn baby's cry.

Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing, "Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship; Tell the wonders of creation's King.

2 Creation gazed upon His face; The ageless One in time's embrace Unveiled the Father's plan Of reconciling God and man. A second Adam walked the earth, Whose blameless life would break the curse, Whose death would set us free To live with Him eternally.

Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing, "Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship; Tell the wonders of creation's King.

3 Creation longs for His return, When Christ shall reign upon the earth; The bitter wars that rage Are birth pains of a coming age. When He renews the land and sky, All heav'n will sing and earth reply With one resplendent theme: The glories of our God and King

Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,
