BENEDICTION
Leader: Go now as those who have received the grace of God—
not wasting it, not receiving it without effect, but with lives open to His work.
In every season, whether in hardship or joy,
may you be sustained by His power,
marked by His truth,
and anchored in His love.
And as God has opened His heart wide to you in Christ,
go with hearts open wide to one another—
in patience, in purity, and in sincere love.
May the grace you have received
be the grace you carry into the world.
Peace Be With You!
Congregation: And also with you!

All Hail King Jesus
Verse 1
There was a moment when the lights went out
When death had claimed its victory
The King of love had given up His life
The darkest day in history
There was a moment when the lights went out
When death had claimed its victory
The King of love had given up His life
The darkest day in history
Verse 2
There on a cross they made for sinners
For every curse His blood atoned
One final breath and it was finished
But not the end we could have known
Pre-Chorus 1
For the earth began to shake, and the veil was torn
What sacrifice was made, as the heavens roared
Chorus 1
All hail, King Jesus, All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus, All hail the Savior of the world
Verse 3
There was a moment when the sky lit up
A flash of light breaking through
When all was lost He crossed eternity
The King of life was on the move
Pre-Chorus 2
For in a dark, cold tomb, where our Lord was laid
One miraculous breath, and we're forev-er changed
Chorus 2
All hail, King Jesus, All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus, All hail the Savior of the world
All hail, King Jesus, All hail the Lord of heaven and earth

Let every knee, come bow before the King of kings
Let every tongue, confess that He is Lord
Lift up your shout, let us join with all of heaven
Singing ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ly
Singing ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ly
You are ho-ho-ho-ho-ho ly
You are ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ly
Chorus
All hail, King Jesus (x4)

And it's all about You, it's all about You

I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You, it's all about You

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You, it's all about You

Come Thou Fount
Verse 1
Come Thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it, Mount of God's unchanging love
Come Thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it, Mount of God's unchanging love
Verse 2
Sorr'wing I shall be in spirit, Till released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do inherit, Here Thy praises I'll begin;
Here I raise my Ebenezer; Here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home.
Verse 3
Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood;
How His kindness yet pursues me, Mortal tongue can never tell,
Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me, I cannot proclaim it well.
Verse 4
O to grace how great a debtor, Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above
Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God;

Verse 4
O to grace how great a debtor, Daily I'm constrained to be

Prone to wander Lord I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above
Verse 5
O that day when freed from sinning, I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clothed then in Thy blood washed linen, How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry, Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry, Me to realms of endless day.

Living Hope
Verse 1
How great the chasm that lay between us, How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to Heaven, And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul, The work is finished, The end is written
Jesus Christ, My living hope
How great the chasm that lay between us, How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to Heaven, And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul, The work is finished, The end is written
Jesus Christ, My living hope
Verse 2
Who could imagine so great a mercy,
What heart could fathom, Such boundless grace
The God of angels, Stepped down from glory, To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken I am forgiven, The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever
Jesus Christ my living hope
Chorus
Hallelujah, Praise the one who set me free
Hallelujah, Death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain, There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope
Verse 3
Y tus promesas fueron selladas, cuando tu cuerpo resucitó
desde el silencio tu gran rugido, quebró el poder de la muerte en mí
(Repeat verse again in English)
Then came the morning that sealed the promise, Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence the roaring lion, Declared the grave has no claim on me
Jesus Yours is the victory
Final Chorus
Hallelujah, Praise the one who set me free
Hallelujah, Death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain, There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope
O Aleluya, sea al que me libertó
Aleluya, de la muerte me arrancó
Las cadenas quebrantó, Y en Su nombre hay salvación
Mi esperanza está en Jesús
