It is secure, safe, full of peace even in times of trouble. Prayer response / focus: Ps 37:25 " ...I have never seen the righteous forsaken ..." The security in God is not theory but reality. The Lord loves those who belong to Him, He holds them tight to His heart. He brings them along in His purposes. He does not keep them from hardship or trouble but He covers them with His goodness and mercies wherever they are. Never forsaken, never struggle alone. God is always there and always true in holding them in His care. Connection: Greetings / Announcements / Prayer items Transition

FELLOWSHIP

Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring;

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God. (C)

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail

By the living Word of God I shall prevail

Standing on the promises of God

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s Sword

Standing on the promises of God

Nguyền đời đời tôi tán mỹ Vua thành thật, hoàn toàn;

Tôi hoan ca mãi trên từng trời Danh Cha cả sáng,

Chính hứa ngôn đây chỗ đứng thật bình an.

Đứng trên lời ấy, Đứng an nhiên luôn trên hứa ngữ Jêsus đây.

Thật đời đời tôi với Chúa đây yêu thương buộc ràng.

Tôi luôn luôn thắng do tay cầm gươm Linh chói sáng,

Chính hứa ngôn đây chỗ đứng thật bình an.

You hear me when I call; You are my morning song

Whom shall I fear?

You crush the enemy underneath my feet
You are my sword and shield though trouble linger still
Whom shall I fear?

Em C G D
I know who goes before me I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies is always by my side
The One who reigns forever, He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies is always by my side

My strength is in Your name for You alone can save
You will deliver me; Yours is the victory
Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear?

And nothing formed against me shall stand

You hold the whole world in Your hands

To see the nations recognize Your fame

‘Til every tribe and tongue voices Your praise

Send us out

You should be the praise of every tongue, Jesus

Every heart, every soul will sing Your praise, will sing Your praise

Every note, every strain every melody will be for You alone

Every harmony that flows from every tongue

We’ll sing Your praise, we’ll sing Your praise,

We’ll sing Your praise, we’ll sing Your praise

Could we live like Your grace is stronger

Could we live like Your name is higher
