Hymns

How Sweet The Name of Jesus Sounds

Words: John Newton
Music: J. C. Lowry

1.
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
And drives away his fear.
And drives away his fear.
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

2.
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest;
And to the weary, rest,
And to the weary, rest;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.

3.
Dear Name, the Rock on which we build,
Our Shield and Hiding Place,
Our never failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace!
With boundless stores of grace,
With boundless stores of grace;
Our never failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace!

4.
Jesus! Our Savior, Shepherd, Friend,
Our Prophet, Priest and King,
Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End,
Accept the praise we bring;
Accept the praise we bring,
Accept the praise we bring;
Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End,
Accept the praise we bring.

5.
Weak is the effort of our heart,
And cold our warmest thought;
But when we see Thee as Thou art,
We’ll praise Thee as we ought;
We’ll praise Thee as we ought,
We’ll praise Thee as we ought;
But when we see Thee as Thou art,
We’ll praise Thee as we ought.

6.
Till then we would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath,
And triumph in that blessed Name
Which quells the pow’r of death!
Which quells the pow’r of death,
Which quells the pow’r of death;
And triumph in that blessed Name
Which quells the pow’r of death!

Lord, I Need You

Matt Maher

1.
Lord, I come, I confess,
Bowing here, You are my rest;
Without You I fall apart,
You’re the One that guards my heart.

2.
You alone have power to save,
Lord, all my sin, You take away;
So wash me now, in Your precious blood,
You’re the Way that I come to God.

Chorus
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You;
My one defense, my righteousness,
Oh God, how I need You.

3.
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more,
Where grace is found, is where You are,
And where You are, Lord, I am free;
Holiness is Christ in me.

Bridge
Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way,
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You,
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay.


Message

“Jesus Transforms Us – Pt. 1”

Message given by Rex Beck on January 17, 2021

1 Peter 2:1-10
2 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,

“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”

8 and

“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”

They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
