Jesus challenges and encourages us in ancient faith and repentance and progressive obedience and sacrifice each step of the way as we go with Him to love others and introduce people to Him.
Homily Audio | Saturate 8 of 8: The Great Commission & The Great Commandment (Because of a Great Savior)
Homily Scriptures | Matthew 22:32-40
Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder
John Newton, 1774 A.D.
Let us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Savior's name.
He has hushed the law's loud thunder,
He has quenched Mt. Sinai's flame.
Let us love the Lord who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies;
Called us by His grace and taught us,
Gave us ears and gave us eyes.
He has washed us with His blood (x3) ...
He has brought us close to God.
Let us sing, though fierce temptation
Threatens hard to bear us down!
For the Lord, our strong salvation,
Holds in view the Conqu’ror’s crown.
Let us wonder grace and justice
Join and point to mercy's store.
When through grace in Christ our trust is,
Justice smiles and asks no more.
He has washed us with His blood (x3) ...
He will bring us home to God.
Let us praise and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high.
Here they trusted Him before us,
Now their praises fill the sky.
"You have washed us with Your blood (x3) ...
You are worthy, Lamb of God!"
Relentless
Hillsong, 2012 A.D.
Salvation sounds a new beginning
As distant hearts begin believing.
Redemption's bid is unrelenting,
Your love goes on, Your love goes on!
You carry us, carry us
When the world gives way!
You cover us, cover us
With Your endless grace!
Your love is relentless (x4)!
The time is up for chasing shadows,
You gave the world the Light to follow,
A hope that shines beyond tomorrow,
Your love goes on, Your love goes on!
(Chorus)
Tearing through the veil of darkness,
Breaking every chain, You set us free!
Fighting for the furthest heart You gave
Your life for all to see!
You carry us, carry us
(Your love is relentless)!
You cover us, cover us
(Your love is relentless)!
Forever Reign
Hillsong, 2010 A.D.
You are good, You are good
When there's nothing good in me.
You are love, You are love
On display for all to see.
You are light, You are light
When the darkness closes in.
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin.
You have covered all my sin.
You are peace, You are peace
When my fear is crippling.
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering.
You are joy, You are joy
You're the reason that I sing.
You are life, You are life
In You death has lost its sting.
I'm running to Your arms,
I'm running to Your arms!
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough!
Nothing compares to Your embrace,
Light of the world, forever reign!
You are more, You are more
Than my words will ever say.
"You are Lord, You are Lord!"
All creation will proclaim.
You are here, You are here,
In Your presence I'm made whole!
You are God, You are God,
Of all else I'm letting go!
(Chorus)
Than my words will ever say.
"You are Lord, You are Lord!"
All creation will proclaim.
You are here, You are here,
In Your presence I'm made whole!
You are God, You are God,
Of all else I'm letting go!
(Chorus)
My heart will sing no other Name,
"Jesus, Jesus!"
Tremble
Mosaic MSC, 2017 A.D.
Peace, bring it all to peace,
The storm surrounding me,
Let it break at Your name.
Still, call the sea to still,
The rage in me to still
Every wave at Your name.
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble.
Jesus, Jesus, You silence fear.
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble.
Jesus, Jesus.
Breathe, call these bones to live
Call these lungs to sing
Once again, I will praise …
(Chorus 2x)
Your name is a light that the shadows can't deny!
Your name cannot be overcome!
Your name is alive forever lifted high!
Your name cannot be overcome!
(Chorus)
Reckless Love
Bethel Music, 2017 A.D.
Before I spoke a word,
You were singing over me.
You have been so, so good to me.
Before I took a breath,
You breathed Your life in me.
You have been so, so kind to me.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God!
It chases me down,
Fights 'til I'm found,
Leaves the ninety-nine!
I couldn't earn it, and
I don't deserve it,
Still You give Yourself away!
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God!
When I was your foe,
Still Your love fought for me.
You have been so, so good to me.
When I felt no worth,
You paid it all for me.
You have been so, so kind to me.
(Chorus)
There's no shadow You won't light up,
Mountain You won't climb up,
Coming after me!
There's no wall You won't kick down,
Lie You won't tear down,
Coming after me!
(Chorus)
