Song Lyrics
Stand In Your Love
[verse] When darkness tries to roll over my bones. When sorrow comes to steal the joy I own. When brokenness and pain is all I know. I won't be shaken, no, I won't be shaken.
[chorus] ’Cause my fear doesn't stand a chance, when I stand in Your love. My fear doesn't stand a chance, when I stand in Your love. My fear doesn't stand a chance, when I stand in Your love.
[verse] Shame no longer has a place to hide, and I am not a captive to the lies. I’m not afraid to leave my past behind. Oh, I won't be shaken, no, I won't be shaken
[bridge] There’s power that can break off every chain. There’s power that can empty out a grave. There’s resurrection power that can save. There’s power in Your name, power in Your name.
Good Good Father
[Verse] I've heard a thousand stories, of what they think You’re like. But I've heard the tender whisper, of love in the dead of night. You tell me that You’re pleased, and that I'm never alone.
[Chorus] You're a Good Good Father. It’s who You are. It’s who You are. It’s who You are. And I'm loved by You. It’s who I am. It’s who I am. It’s who I am.
[Verse] I've seen many searching for answers, far and wide. But I know we're all searching for answers, only You provide. Because You know just what we need, before we say a word.
[Bridge] You are perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of Your ways to us.
[Verse] Love so undeniable I can hardly speak. Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think. As You call me deeper still. As You call me deeper still. As You call me deeper still. Into love love love.
Strong Enough? Pray in The Spirit
Ephesians 6
(vv.10-11) A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armour so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
(vv.13-17) put on every piece of God’s armour… truth… righteousness… peace… faith… salvation… word of God…
(v.18-19) Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

Closing Prayer
Loving Father, we pray that, from your glorious unlimited resources, you will empower us with inner strength through your Spirit.
We ask you to make your home in our hearts as we learn to trust in you.
May our roots grow deep in your love and keep us strong.
May we have the power to understand how wide, how long, how high, and how deep Christ’s love is.
May we experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to fully understand.
May we be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Amen.
