Song Lyrics
Trust In God
[Verse] Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. He’s been my fourth man in the fire, time after time. Born of His Spirit. Washed in His blood. And what He did for me on Calvary, is more than enough.
[Chorus] I trust in God, my Saviour, the One who will never fail. He will never fail.
[Verse] Perfect submission. All is at rest. I know the author of tomorrow, has ordered my steps. So this is my story, and this is my song. I’m praising my risen King and Saviour, all the day long.
[Bridge] I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered. I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered. I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered. That’s why I trust Him. That’s why I trust Him.
What a Beautiful Name
[Verse] You were the Word at the beginning. One with God the Lord Most High. Your hidden glory in creation, now revealed in You our Christ.
[Chorus] What a beautiful Name it is. What a beautiful Name it is. The Name of Jesus Christ my King. What a beautiful Name it is. Nothing compares to this. What a beautiful Name it is. The Name of Jesus
[Verse] You didn't want heaven without us, so Jesus You brought heaven down. My sin was great Your love was greater. What could separate us now
[Chorus] What a wonderful Name it is. What a wonderful Name it is. The Name of Jesus Christ my King. What a wonderful Name it is. Nothing compares to this. What a wonderful Name it is. The Name of Jesus. What a wonderful Name it is. The Name of Jesus
[Bridge] Death could not hold You. The veil tore before You. You silence the boast of sin and grave. The heavens are roaring. The praise of Your glory. For You are raised to life again. You have no rival. You have no equal. Now and forever God You reign. Yours is the kingdom. Yours is the glory. Yours is the Name above all names.
[Chorus] What a powerful Name it is. What a powerful Name it is. The Name of Jesus Christ my King. What a powerful Name it is. Nothing can stand against. What a powerful Name it is. The Name of Jesus.
A-Z: The Creation Story
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:5 …And there was evening, and there was morning - the first day (yom).
2 Peter 3:8 With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
Colossians 1:15-16 “…[Jesus] is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see… Everything was created through him and for him.”
What do we learn about God from his creation?
1. The massive scale of creation shows his infinite resources
Psalm 8:3-4 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers - the moon and the stars you set in place - what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?
2. The delicate balance of creation shows his intelligence
Psalm 104:10-12 You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains. They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees.
“The eye, to this day gives me a cold shudder [because it is an] organ of extreme perfection” Charles Darwin (private letter to a friend)
Psalm 139:13-14 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvellous—how well I know it.
Discussion Questions
Taking a position of humility (i.e. I don’t know everything) what do you think about the question of Evolution, or 7-Day Creation or Theistic Evolution?
If it is true that everything was created through Jesus, what do you think we learn about Jesus from his creation?
What do you think about the grand scale of creation or the delicate balance of our human body?
Closing Prayer
Loving Father, help me to live this day to the full, being true to you in every way.
Help me to give myself to others, being kind and generous to everyone I meet.
Help me to love those who don’t know you, proclaiming Christ in all I do and say.
Amen.
