In Jesus we behold The Father's glorious face, Our Savior who shall keep His own With mild and lovely grace Th e eternal God's eternal Son Inherits and partakes the throne. The sovereign King of kings, The Lord of lords most high, Writes his own name upon His garment and his thigh: His name is called The Word of God; He rules the earth with His iron rod. Behold the holy L amb of God Who stricken down now stands He seals or opens every seal With His own nail-scarred hands And now the lion of Judah Roars with a Holy Rage At sin and degradation And fully pays Sin’s wage. But when for works of righteous peace The great Redeemer comes, What lovingkindness is released The Great I AM becomes Light of the world, and Life of men; He shall not bear those names in vain. Immense compassion reigns In our Immanuel's heart, He pleads our case and takes our pain A Mediator's part: He is a Friend and Brother too; Divinely kind, divinely true. At length the Lord the Righte...

Face to face with Christ my Savior, Face to face—mine eyes shall see When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me. Face to face I shall behold Him, With greater vision I will see Face to face in all His glory, To gaze on his grace eternally. If I seek Him I will know Him Even on this earthly plain For the Spirit clearly shows Him And the glory of His name Seek His face with open eyes now In His presence we’re undone Face to face in His shekina Face to face with God’s own Son. Only faintly now I see Him With the darkened veil between, But a blessed day is coming When His glory shall be seen. What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened And the dark things shall be plain. Face to face--oh, blissful moment! Face to face--to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ who loves me so. Anthony Foster After the Hymn by Carrie Ellis Breck July 14, 2018

Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne. The worries of the mind Will never satisfy Salvation never was designed God’s pleasure to deny Let those refuse to sing That never knew our God; But favorites of the heav'nly King May speak their joys abroad. The God that rules on high, And thunders when he please, That rides upon the stormy sky, And manages the seas; This awe some God is ours, Our Father and our Love; He shall send down his heav'nly powers To carry us above. There we shall see his face, And never, never sin; There, from the rivers of his grace, Drink endless pleasures in. Yes, and before we are changed To that immortal state, The future bliss that God arranged Should constant joys create. The men of grace have found God’s Glory here below; His presence is our holy ground If faith and hope we know Then let our songs be raised And set our minds on high We're blessed here, to...

Jesus is our wine and bread Lord, our souls would thus be fed Your broken body and blood divine Is bread of life, is heav'nly wine. From the tree of life the world receives Salvation from his healing leaves; That righteous branch, it’s wondrous fruit Both spring and grow from David's root. The precious Rose of Sharon yields Such fragrancy in all her fields: As the lily of the valley blooms All men shall bless the rich perfume. Jesus is the living vine Supplier of the cup of wine He drank the dregs of heaven’s wrath Opened the gates to heaven’s path. Jesus is the cornerstone The only sure foundation known The solid rock on which we stand All other ground is shifting sand. The fountain that forever brims To heal the plague of death and sin These waters will renew my soul And cleanse my heart and make me whole Christ is the true refiner’s fire That purifies all our desire He'll purge my dross he’ll purge nd remove every sinful urge He is the door, the only way To enter in an...

We come to worship at Immanuel's feet, To seek his face and wonders meet! Earth is too narrow to express His glory, worth, or blessedness. The whole creation can afford But some faint shadows of my Lord; Nature, to make his beauties known, Must mingle colors not her own. For no eye has seen, nor ear heard, All the gifts God has prepared Nor imagined in the heart of man Gods grace to those who love him O let me climb those higher skies, Where storms and darkness never rise! There he displays his power abroad, And shines and reigns th' incarnate God.] Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars, Nor heav'n, his full resemblance bears; His beauties we can never trace, Till we behold him face to face. Bridge: Our hearts will fully be revealed As we cling to him in whom we’re sealed In his presence at his throne When we shall know as we are known Our devastated hearts are healed. The saints below and saints above Joined by his Spirit and his love. Worship empowered by ...

Faith is a test and faith is a trust Faith is a gift so receive it we must As much as we sow so we also shall reap God gives us faith and that faith we must keep. For faith comes by hearing the living Word Faith comes by heeding just what we have heard By trusting in promises kept in the past And a future that holds that the promise will last Bridge: The assurance of things hoped for, The conviction of things not seen. An eternal weight of glory Shows us what faith truly means. Faith is a test and faith is a trust Faith is a gift so unwrap it we must Faith is only as good as where it is placed So have faith in Jesus, the God of all grace. Faith is not passive and so we must act Believing the source of our faith a s a fact God will direct your path from the start When you trust in the Lord with all of your heart 2 Cor 4:17-18 Hebrews 11 Proverbs 3:16-17 Anthony Foster July 14, 2018

If the heart of your heart was true If you were faithful in all you do If you do your good deeds You would still be in need Theres a Savior who’s meant for you. For no matter the good report Our souls will still come up short We’re not holy at all We still stumble and fall Found guilty in heaven’s court For all fall short and sin God’s glory requires all men To be perfect and just So we’re all left to trust In another the prize to win We all need holiness We all need to confess We’re not perfect in any way But there’s hope in the Son He is the only one Who can rescue and save the day This is the good news and it came here for you There is hope and a way in Christ All you do is believe Then you need to receive For salvation has paid the price Come to him and be saved today This is the time all your sin to lay On the bearer of sin So you then can begin To walk the true and living way.
