Song Lyrics
Good Good Father
[Verse 1] 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 2] 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 3] 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.
This Is Amazing Grace
[Verse] Who breaks the power of sin and darkness? Whose love is mighty and so much stronger? The King of Glory the King above all kings.
[Verse] Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder? And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder? The King of Glory the King above all kings.
[Chorus] This is amazing grace. This is unfailing love. That You would take my place. That You would bear my cross. You laid down Your life, That I would be set free. Oh Jesus I sing for all that You've done for me.
[Verse] Who brings our chaos back into order? Who makes the orphan a son and daughter? The King of Glory the King of Glory.
[Verse] Who rules the nations with truth and justice? Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance? The King of Glory the King above all kings.
[Bridge] Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. Worthy is the King who conquered the grave.
New Day: Heaven
John 14:2-3
My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
Revelation 21:1, 3-5
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared…
3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” 5 And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!”
Philippians 3:20-21
20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Saviour. 21 He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.
2 Corinthians 5:4, 6-10
4 …we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life.
6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. 10 For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

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.
