Hymns
Jesus, I Come
1.
Oh, how I need Your grace,
More than my words can say;
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come;
I need Your faithfulness,
I need Your righteousness,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
2.
Oh, what amazing love,
Poured out Your cleansing blood,
Oh, Lamb of God, Jesus, I come;
Within this boundless flood,
I find You are enough,
Oh, Lamb of God, Jesus, I come.
Chorus
Oh, this love, can it be,
You, my Lord, would die for me?
By Your blood, now I come
To the throne of God above!
3.
Out of all my weakness,
Out of all my darkness,
Bright, Heaven’s Sun, Jesus, I come;
In Your light now I see,
Jesus, You’re all I need;
Bright, Heaven’s Sun, Jesus, I come!
Bridge
Thank You, Jesus,
Just as I am, I come;
Hallelujah,
For Your amazing love.
Nothing But The Blood
By: Robert Lowry
1.
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2.
For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
3.
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
4.
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
5.
Now by this we’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Nigh by this we have become—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
6.
Glory! Glory! This we sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All our praise for this we bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

— The Vision of the Lampstands
Revelation 1:10-13
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet 11 saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man…
Revelation 1:20
As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
— One church in one city
Acts 14:23
And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
Titus 1:5
This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you…
— The church in the city must receive all
John 17:21
that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
Romans 15:5-7
5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
— The church is practical
Matthew 18:15-17
15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church.
Revelation 2:1-5
To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands.
2 “ ‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. 3 I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first.
Revelation 3:1-2
“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.
“ ‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.
