Other scripture references:






As We Gather
As we gather may your spirit work within us, As we gather may we glorify your name.

Knowing well that as our hearts begin to worship, We’ll be blessed because we came.

Here I Am To Worship
Light of the world, you stepped into the darkness,
Open my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that

Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you’re my god.
You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.

And I’ll never know how much it cost to lay your life upon that cross, and I’ll never know how much it cost to lay your life upon that cross.

I waited for the Lord on high, I waited and He heard my cry. (2x)

Oh, many toils and many trials (shut de do, keep out de debil)

I Am A Woman (CH#452)
I am a woman called to be a servant; Bound by the grace that Your love imparts. Lord, make me humble, teach me to follow; Make me a woman of your heart.

I am a woman called to speak with wisdom; Shining a light that will lead to You. Lord, give me courage to be Your witness; Make me a woman of Your truth.

I am a woman purchased by Your mercy; Bought by love that would spare no cost. Lord, make me holy, loving You only; Make me a woman of your cross.
