God gives His people strength

Verse 1
God gives His people strength.
If we believe in His way, He’s swift to repay
All those who bear the burden of the day
God gives His people strength.
Verse 2

If we but trust in His word, our prayers are always heard
He warmly welcomes anyone who’s erred.
God gives His people hope.

Offertory Hymn

All that I am

Verse 1
All that I am, all that I do,
All that I'll ever have, I offer now to you.
All that I dream, all that I pray,
All that I'll ever make, I give to you today.
Refrain
Take and sanctify these gifts
For your honor, Lord.
Knowing that I love and serve you
Is enough reward.
Verse 2
All that I dream, all that I pray,
All that I'll ever make, I give to you today.

Communion Hymn

Be Not Afraid

Verse 1
You shall cross the barren desert
But you shall not die of thirst
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way
You shall speak your words to foreign men
And they will understand
You shall see the face of God and live
Refrain
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come, follow me and I will give you rest
Verse 2
If you pass through raging waters in the sea
You shall not drown
If you walk amid the burning flames
You shall not be harmed
If you stand before the power of hell
And death is at your side
Know that I am with you through it all
Verse 3
Blessed are your poor
For the kingdom shall be theirs
Blest are you that weep and mourn
For one day you shall laugh
And if wicked men insult and hate you
All because of me
Blessed, blessed are you

Recessional Hymn

O God Beyond All Praising

Verse 1
O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end:
we lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
we honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
Verse 2
Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favor
may serve you as our king;
and whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
we'II triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
to marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise.
