Song Lyrics
Same God
[verse] I'm calling on the God of Jacob, Whose love endures through generations, I know that You will keep Your covenant. I'm calling on the God of Moses, The one who opened up the ocean. I need you now to do the same thing for me.
[Chorus] Oh God my God I need You. Oh God my God I need You now. How I need You now. Oh Rock oh Rock of ages. I’m standing on Your faithfulness.
[verse] I'm calling on the God of Mary, Whose favor rests upon the lowly. I know with You all things are possible. I’m calling on the God of David, Who made a shepherd boy courageous. I may not face Goliath, But I've got my own giants.
[Bridge] You heard Your children then. You hear Your children now. You are the same God. You are the same God. You answered prayers back then. And You will answer now. You are the same God. You are the same God. You were providing then. You are providing now. You are the same God. You are the same God.
[Bridge] You moved in power then. God move in power now. You are the same God. You are the same God. You were a healer then. You are a healer now. You are the same God. You are the same God. You were a Savior then. You are a Savior now. You are the same God. You are the same God.
[Bridge] You freed the captives then. You’re freeing hearts right now. You are the same God. You are the same God. You touched the lepers then. I feel Your touch right now. You are the same God. You are the same God.
[Verse] I’m calling on the Holy Spirit. Almighty river come and fill me again.
Cornerstone
[Verse] 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.
[Chorus] Christ alone cornerstone. Weak made strong in the Saviour's love. Through the storm He is Lord. Lord of all.
[Verse] 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. My anchor holds within the veil.
[Verse] 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.
The Other: Serve Each Other
Love Each Another
John 13:34 [Jesus] So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
Forgive Each Another
Ephesians 4:32 …be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
Be Humble and Patient with Each Another
Ephesians 4:2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.
Serve Each Other
Galatians 5:13-14 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbour as yourself.”
Mark 6:35-37 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.” But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!”
