Know He will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love, and show you believe;
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God will be there, watching from above;
Go now in peace, in faith, and in love.
Amen. Amen. Amen.

Blessed Assurance
Verse 1
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
Refrain:
This is my story; this is my song:
Praising my Saviour all the day long;
This is my story; this is my song:
Praising my Saviour all the day long.
***********************************************
Responsive Psalm 24:
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,
the world, and those who live in it;
for God has founded it on the seas,
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in God’s holy place?
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,
Who do not lift up their souls to what is false,
And do not swear deceitfully.
They will receive blessings form the Lord,
And vindication from the God of their salvation.
Such is the company of those who seek the Lord,
Who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
that the King of Glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord, strong and might,
The Lord, mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors!
That the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
The Lord is the King of glory!
