2. It matters not what song that you sing
       So let’s all sing this new song of praise
       In unity we worship our Lord
       Yes, Jesus, it’s Your name that we raise
    Bridge 1: Let’s celebrate hope that’s arisen
      Flowing from the strength that You’ve given
      A vision given to old and to young
      To celebrate miracles that You have done
    3. Our unity’s a gift from above
       Forgiveness when we’re broken in two
       Through grace we have now rebuilt our home
       Where all love thrives and dreams have come true.
    Bridge 2: Lift high the cross and pray for tomorrow
      That Your word will be stronger still
      Let’s lift up each other along with the cross
      And do our best to follow Your will
    4. Let’s celebrate the love in this place
       The praise we sing and offer to You
       The prayers we did not know that we’d need
       Our vision, hopes and dreams have come true
Welcome
Gathering Song – “Eye of the Storm,” Bryan Fowler and Ryan Dale Stevenson
    Chorus: In the eye of the storm
     You remain in control
     In the middle of the war
     You guard my soul
     You alone are the anchor
     When my sails are torn
     Your love surrounds me
     In the eye of the storm
    1. When the solid ground is falling out
       From underneath my feet
       Between the black skies and my red eyes
       I can barely see
       When I realize I’ve been sold out
       By my friends and my family
       I can feel the rain reminding me (chorus)
    2. When my hopes and dreams are far from me
       And I’m runnin’ out of faith
       I see the future I picture
       Slowly fade away
       And when the tears of pain and heartache
       Are pouring down my face
       I find my peace in Jesus’ name (chorus)
Confession and Forgiveness
Song for Lent – “Indescribable,” Laura Story and Jesse Reeves
   1. From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
      Creation’s revealing Your majesty
      From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
      Ev’ry creature unique in the song that it sings
      All exclaiming

Chorus: Indescribable, uncontainable
     You placed the stars in the sky
     And You know them by name
     You are amazing, God
     All powerful, untamable
     Awestruck we fall to our knees
     As we humbly proclaim
     You are amazing, God
    2. Who has told ev’ry lightning bolt where it should go
       Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
       Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
       Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
       None can fathom (chorus)
    Final Chorus: Indescribable, uncontainable,
      You placed the stars in the sky
      And You know them by name.
      You are amazing, God.
      Incomp’rable, unchangeable,
      You see the depths of my heart
      And You love me the same.
      You are amazing, God; You are amazing, God.

    God, there’s nowhere we can go
    where you aren’t already waiting:
    in the vineyard,
    in the grainfield,
    in the places where we live and work,
    and, most especially, at this table,
    where your Son has promised to meet us;
    where he is both Host and Meal.
    Reveal yourself to us now.
    Amen.

 Communion Song – “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” Joel Houston,
   Matt Crocker, and Salomon Ligthelm
    1. You call me out upon the waters
       The great unknown where feet may fail
       And there I find You in the mystery
       In oceans deep my faith will stand
    Chorus: And I will call upon Your name
     And keep my eyes above the waves
     When oceans rise
     My soul will rest in Your embrace
     For I am Yours and You are mine
    2. Your grace abounds in deepest waters
       Your sov’reign hand will be my guide
       Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
       You’ve never failed and You won’t start now (chorus)
    Bridge: Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
      Let me walk upon the waters
      Wherever You would call me
      Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
      And my faith will be made stronger
      In the presence of my Savior (repeat 3x; chorus)
 Communion Song – “Offer Your Heart,” Dennis Gale
   Chorus: Offer your heart, give as you’ve been given.
    Give of your first fruits, the best you can give.
    Offer your life; love, love God completely.
    May God bless the life you live.
    1. We don’t deserve such loving grace.
       We cannot earn the love God’s giving.
       With humble hearts, our sacrifice:
       We offer God the lives we’re living. (chorus)

2. We give our love, we give our lives,
       We’re grateful that our sins are forgiven.
       Use us, oh Lord, to work your will.
       We offer You the lives we’re living. (chorus)
 Prayer after the Meal

Sending Song – “Diamonds,” Jason Ingram, Jonathan Steingard,
 and Matt Bronleewe
    1. Here and now I’m in the fire in above my head
    Being held under the pressure
       Don’t know what will be left
       But it’s here in the ashes
       I’m finding treasure
    Chorus 1: God’s making diamonds, diamonds
     God’s making diamonds out of dust
     God is refining and in His timing
    2. I’ll surrender to the power of being crushed by love
       ’Til the beauty that was hidden isn’t covered up
       Oh it’s not what I hoped for
       It’s something much better (chorus)
    Bridge: Oh the joy of the Lord, it will be my strength
      When the pressure is on, God’s making diamonds
      Oh the joy of the Lord, it will be my strength
      When the pressure is on, God’s making diamonds
    Chorus 2: God’s making diamonds, diamonds
     Making us rise up from the dust
     God is refining and in His timing
     God’s making diamonds out of dust
     Making diamonds out of us (bridge)
    Ending: I won’t be afraid to shine,
      I won’t be afraid to shine,
      I won’t be afraid to shine
      I won’t be afraid to shine
      ’Cause God’s making diamonds out of dust
      Making diamonds out of us
      God’s making diamonds out of us
