James 1:2-18
Wisdom Through Trials
This Sunday we continue our Wisdom from Above series as Pastor Jared preaches from James 1:2-18. In this passage, James reminds us that God uses trials to grow our faith and that every good gift comes from Him. As you prepare for worship, take time this weekend to read the text and reflect on how God is at work in both the challenges and blessings of life. Listening to the songs in advance is another way to ready your heart as we gather to worship the One who is faithful in every season.
At Calvary
Lyrics
Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary.
By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.
Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.
Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!
Lyrics
Hear the heart of Heaven beating
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
And the hush of mercy breathing
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
Hear the host of angels sing
"Glory to the Newborn King"
And the sounding joy repeating
"Jesus saves"
See the humblest hearts adore Him
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
And the wisest bow before Him
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
See the sky alight with praise
Melting darkness in its place
There is light forevermore, and
Jesus saves
He will live our sorrow sharing
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
He will die our burden bearing
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
"It is done!", we'll shout across
Christ has paid redemption's cost
While the empty tomb's declaring
"Jesus saves"
Freedom's calling, chains are falling
Hope is dawning, bright and true
Day is breaking, night is quaking
God is making all things new
Jesus saves
Oh, to grace, how great a debtor
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
All the saints who shout together
"I know that Jesus saves"
Rising up so vast and strong
Lifting up salvation's song
The redeemed will sing forever
"Jesus saves"
Praise to the Lord the Almighty
Lyrics
Praise to the Lord the Almighty
The King of creation
O my soul praise Him
For He is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear
Now to His temple draw near
Join me in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord who o'er all things
So wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under His wings
Yes so gently sustaineth
Hast thou not seen
How all thy longings have been
Granted in what He ordaineth
Praise to the Lord who doth prosper
Thy work and defend thee
Surely His goodness and mercy here
Daily attend thee
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend thee
Oh the songs that we sing
And the honor we bring
We pour out on our King without measure
Lord we worship Your name
Giving glory and thanks
We will praise You forever
Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore Him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before Him
Let the Amen sound from His people again
Gladly forever adore Him
Oh the songs that we sing
And the honor we bring
We pour out on our King without measure
Lord we worship Your name
Giving glory and thanks
We will praise You forever
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Lyrics
Great is Thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow
Of turning with Thee
Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been
Thou forever will be
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
And all I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
Summer and winter
And springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars
In their courses above
Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
And all I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence
To cheer and to guide
Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine
With ten thousand beside
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
And all I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
