1. Be strong when worries pile up high
Be strong when things happen and you don’t know why
Be strong when you don’t know what to do
For the Lord will be with you
2. Be strong when your friend is mean to you
Be strong when you don’t know what is true
Be strong when the world seems upside down
For the Lord still wears the crown
Be Strong and Courageous
God’s promise will come true
Be Strong and Courageous
For God will be with you
Be Strong and Courageous
Do not be terrified
Be Strong and Courageous
For the Lord your God
Is by your side
3. Be strong when all you feel is weak
Be strong when your worries start to speak
Be strong, keep waiting for the Lord
For he will keep his word
Chorus
Bridge
Oh, be strong
In the grace that is in Christ
Oh, be strong
In the Lord for he wins the fight
Oh, be strong
And do everything in love
Oh….
Chorus

God is Wise [Proverbs]
02:48
|
|||

1. Fools will say:
‘Ignore all God’s wisdom
Look inside
You don’t need to listen’
But that way
Will lead to disaster
Turn your ears
And hear your creator’s voice
For God is wise
He knows what to do
Trust in Him
And then you will too
When you’re not sure
Of which way to turn
God’s way’s the best way to go
God’s way’s the best way to go
2. The wise will say
‘You should fear the Lord
Who made the world
He knows how it works
Yes, He’s the King
Your maker who loves you
Turn your eyes
Get ready to follow Him
Chorus
Bridge
Many will travel the wide road
With all the crowd
They will ask why you don’t follow
Laughing out loud
Many will travel the wide road
Falling for lies

1. Jesus’s disciples
Were having quite a fight
They wanted to be greatest
And each thought he was right.
But Jesus told them “No way!
The big must be the small.
A king must be a servant
And I will serve you all.”
His friends were all astounded
Their brains just nearly burst!
“To have a royal servant?
Well that would be a first!”
“We think he might be crazy!
He’s a topsy-turvy King!
Or else this topsy-turvy man
Makes sense of everything.”
2. All the friends had gathered
To have some food to eat
When Jesus took some water
And began to wash their feet.
But Peter said “That’s crazy!
That’s not what kings should do.
You’ve got things muddled up here –
I should be washing you!”
“Oh Peter, don’t you get it?
I’ll die to wash you clean.”
But Peter just looked puzzled
What did King Jesus mean?
“We think he might be crazy!
He’s a topsy-turvy King!
Or else this topsy-turvy man
Makes sense of everything.”
3. But on a sad, sad Friday
Some soldiers killed their King
He looked like he was nothing
Not Lord of everything.
“He said he came to save us,”
The people shouted out,
“But he can’t even save himself,
And that’s without a doubt!”
“We just don’t understand it.
We can’t believe he’s died.”
And then his friends all ran away
And found a place to hide.
“We thought he might be crazy!
He’s a topsy-turvy King!
Or else this topsy-turvy man
Made sense of everything.”
4. It seemed their King was beaten
He lay dead in a tomb
Had God rejected Jesus
And left him in the gloom?
But when the sun came shining
That happy Easter day,
Jesus was alive again
and he was here to stay!
“My kingdom is quite different.
In fact it’s upside down!
The dying, saving, servant
Is the one who wears the crown!”
“We thought he might be crazy!
He’s a topsy-turvy King!
But now this topsy-turvy man
Makes sense of everything.”

Philip told Nathanael
'We have found the One
That all of the Old Testament
Points to as God's Son'
Nathanael was doubtful
Sat under his tree
So Philip simply said to him
'Come and see...'
He's the promised King
Come and see
Life is found in Him
Come and see
He has conquered death and sin
To set us free
Jesus, the great I AM
Jesus found a woman
Waiting for the King
He said that he give her life
She'd never thirst again
So she went home to gather
All her family
The woman simply said to them
'Come and see...'
Chorus
Jesus still is calling
All to follow Him
He died and rose up from the grave
To save us from our sin
And we can share with others
That Jesus sets us free
We simply need to say to them
'Come and see...'
Chorus

You don’t have to earn your place
You don’t have to work so hard
For God has chosen you
You’re a child of the King
Yes, you are safe and sound in Him
You don’t have to earn our praise
You don’t have to fear our blame
For God has welcomed you
Embraced you as his child
He looks on you with love and smiles
You’re loved
And when things feel
Too hard to bear
As if you don’t
Belong
Remember God
Has done it all
You’re safe in Christ
God’s Son
So hold on to
This precious truth
Your Father holds
You tight
Remember he
Won’t let you go
You’re precious in
His sight
You don’t have to earn our love
You don’t have to prove yourself
For God’s already shown
His endless love for you
So now we are your family too
You’re loved
You’re loved
You’re loved
You’re loved

Do your feelings ever go up and down?
Does your smile ever turn to frown?
Do the tears ever fall from your eyes
And you just don’t know why?
God does not change
He always stays the same
He’ll never let you go
He loved you yesterday
That’s still the same
You know
God does not change
He always stays the same
On that you can depend
So put your trust in Jesus
He’ll love you ’til the end

1. I was riding along the other day
When I saw a young man in my way
He didn’t look good
He was battered and bruised
But there was something about this man
He was from my enemies land
I didn’t know
What I should do
But then I remembered something
Jesus said
And it all just fitted
Into place
You gotta love your neighbour
You gotta love your neighbour
Because the good lord
He has loved you too
You gotta love your neighbour
You gotta love your neighbour
Because the good lord
He has loved you too
2. So I put the man on my horse
And without a shred of remorse
I made sure
That he was cared for
Because I knew that Jesus
Gave everything to save us
I knew that He
Had shown me such love
Yes, I had remembered something
That He had done
And it all just fitted
Into place
Jesus loved His neighbour
Jesus loved His neighbour
By dying
On the cross for you
So you gotta love your neighbour
You gotta love your neighbour
For Jesus He
Has loved you too

Doing what’s wrong’s like throwing a boomerang
It’ll come right back and knock you in the head
Doing what’s wrong’s like throwing a boomerang
It’ll come right back and knock you in the head
We look at those who seem to get their way
And think they look so cool
But they will fall into the hole they’ve dug
And then they’ll look the fool
So don’t go that way too
Chorus
We look at those who seem to know it all
Impressed by all their talk
But they’re fools to ignore what God has said
So listen to the Lord
For the proud will fall (FLAT!)
Chorus
If you want to be wise then of course you will
Read and read God’s Word
For to know God as your Lord and King
Will start you on the road
To the best life you could know!

Now Martha knew the Lord could heal
He was the only one.
But Jesus got there far too late
And now her hope was gone.
Her brother Lazarus had died
And where was Christ her Lord?
She had no clue what he could do
Through his almighty word.
Jesus is the resurrection,
Jesus is the, Jesus is the life
When Mary came to meet the Lord
Her cheeks were wet with tears
Her clothes were torn, her face forlorn
Her mind was filled with fears
When Jesus saw her without hope
His heart was deeply stirred
She had no clue what he could do
Through his almighty word
Chorus
When Jesus stood before the grave
He gave a mighty shout
And from the gloom within the tomb
The dead man wandered out!
And everyone was blown away
By what had just occurred
For now they knew what he could do
Through his almighty word

1. Mary and the others went to the tomb
But all they found there was an empty room
An angel then appeared all dressed in white
Said ‘everything’s gonna be alright’
The rock went a rollin’
The rock went a rollin’
Jesus is the King
Jesus is the King ooo ooo
Jesus is the King ooo ooo
Jesus is the King ooo ooo
Jesus is the King ooo ooo
The rock went a rollin
’
The rock went a rolling’
Jesus is the King
2. Thomas heard about it from his friends one day
Thomas shook his head and he said ‘no way!’
But then Jesus showed him his hands and feet
And Thomas just had to bow the knee
The rock went a rollin’
The rock went a rollin’
Jesus is the King
Chorus
3. Jesus said ‘You see and you believe
Blessed are those who don’t believe’
We know Jesus is alive today
So let’s follow Him, He is the Way!
The rock went a rollin’
The rock went a rollin’
Jesus is the King

Let all of the children come
The Kingdom's for such as these
Let all of the children come
Come and meet the King of kings
1. As we listen to your Word
Help us see the truth
May we know that you're the King
And you love us too
Chorus
2. As we hear you speak to us
May you change our lives
Spirit work deep in our hearts
Make us more like Christ
Chorus
