Psalm 47
Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared, a great King over all the earth.
Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
All: For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!

“I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord”
"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” - John 13:35
“O Church Arise”
“Behold Our God”
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever. Amen.
“Cornerstone” Reuben Morgan
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly trust in Jesus' Name
Christ alone, Cornerstone, Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all
When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil
When He shall come with trumpet sound, oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless stand before the throne
Luke 13:18-20ESV
“The Parable of the Leaven”
CH (MAJ) Paul Shin
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Our fathers’ God, to Thee, Author of liberty, to Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by Thy might – great God, our King.

“Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”
