Titus: Faith, Knowledge, Hope
Titus 1:1-3 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior;
1:4 To Titus: my true child in a common faith.
The spirit of God is calling you to come home.

Build My Life
Worthy of every song we could ever sing, Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe, We live for You
Jesus, the Name above every other name, Jesus, the only One who could ever save
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe, We live for You, Oh, we live for You
Holy, there is no one like You, There is none beside You, Open up my eyes in wonder
And show me who You are, And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me
And I will build my life upon Your love, It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone, And I will not be shaken. (2X)
Worthy Of It All
All the saints and angels bow before Your throne
All the elders cast their crowns before the Lamb of God and sing
You are worthy of it all, You are worthy of it all
For from You are all things, And to You are all things, You deserve the glory
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise (4X)
Costly Devotion
I want to be poured out in costly devotion, I want to be perfume poured on your feet
Holding back nothing, let me be an offering, Of costly devotion to Jesus my King
What will I profit with riches untold, To gain the whole world, and lose my own soul
So all that I am I lay at your feet, That my life will count for eternity
For You gave Your Son, and He chose to die, An offering of love that purchased my life
He poured out His blood redeeming my soul, Let Him be my prize Let Him be my goal
No greater love than this can there be, The King of all kings dying for me
In light of this gift I give everything, What else can I do? What less can I bring?
Let Heaven Fall
We’ve only scratched the surface, And only had just one glance
We’ve tasted of Your glory, But there’s so much more
We’re standing on horizons, Where earth collides with heaven
You’re longing for Your children, To cry out for more, We cry out for more
Let it echo from this city, To the nations, the sound of praise
Let the windows of the heavens, Open wide and let it rain
Here inside Your presence, Surrounded by Your Spirit
We’re satisfied but desperate, For even more of You, even more of You
Oh-oh, Let heaven fall, As we sing, Oh-oh, Let heaven fall, Let heaven fall (5X)
Pray and Read the Scriptures.
1 John
God’s light shines – that is how we see him.
He reveals himself – that is how He’s known.
He loved us – that is how we know love.

You Make Me Brave
I stand before You now, The greatness of your renown
I have heard of the majesty and wonder of you, King of Heaven, in humility, I bow
As Your love, in wave after wave, Crashes over me, crashes over me
For You are for us, You are not against us, Champion of Heaven
You made a way for all to enter in, I have heard You calling my name
I have heard the song of love that You sing, So I will let You draw me out beyond the shore
Into Your grace, Your grace,
As Your love, in wave after wave, Crashes over me, crashes over me,
For You are for us, You are not against us, Champion of Heaven
You made a way for all to enter into, Your love, in wave after wave
Crashes over me, crashes over me
For You are for us, You are not against us, Champion of Heaven
The Steadfast Love of the Lord
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. Your mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning, new every morning:
great is your faithfulness, O Lord, great is your faithfulness!
Praise Before My Breakthrough
I know the tension of the now, I don’t always understand, I don’t always get to see, Everything
When I’m holding up my hands, When I’m counting every breath, Lord, all I need to know is
You choose me, You choose me
I’ll praise before my breakthrough, ‘Til my song becomes my triumph
I will sing because I trust You, I will bring my heart, I will lift my song
When I’m listening for Your voice, And I’m shutting out the noise,
I know that You will speak, Clearly
When I’m living out my faith, When I’m stepping on the sea, I know You take my hand
And walk with me, Walk with me
I’ll praise before my breakthrough
‘Til my song becomes my triumph
I will sing because I trust You
I will bring my heart, I will lift my song
He who came in power, He will come again
He who heals the sick, won’t He…
Forever Amen
I was made to love You, It’s all I really know for sure, All I am is wrapped up in You
The center of my world, I was made to love You, From my beginning to my end
You’ll be my forever, My forever amen
I was made to love You, It’s all I really know for sure
All I am is wrapped up in You, The center of my world, I was made…
Communion
We are returning to the place we’ve always belonged, Right here, Take me back to the garden
Lead me be back to moment I heard Your voice, Bring me back to communion
Lead me back to the moment I saw Your face, And it was all so simple
It was easy to love, No space between us, It was easy to trust
You are closer, closer than my skin, You are in the air I’m breathing in
Here’s where the dead things, Come back to living, I feel my heart beating again
Feels so good to know You are my friend
This is the garden, Here in the place I find you close,
This is communion, Here in the place I’m fully known
And it was all so simple, You’re so easy to love,
And no space between us, You’re so easy to trust
Cause You are closer, closer than my skin, And You are in the air I’m breathing in
Come alive (dry bones)
Through the eyes of men it seems there’s so much we have lost
As we look down the road where all the prodigals have walked
One by one the enemy has whispered lies, And led them off as slaves
But we know that you are God yours is the victory
We know there is more to come, That we may not yet see
So with the faith you’ve given us, We’ll step into the valley unafraid, yeah
As we call out to dry bones come alive, come alive
We call out to dead hearts come alive, come alive
Up out of the ashes let us see an army rise, We call out to dry bones, come alive
God of endless mercy god of unrelenting love
Rescue every daughter bring us back the wayward son
And by your spirit breathe upon them show the world that you alone can save
You alone can save, As we call out to dry bones…
Pray and Read the Scriptures. Why? Pray, not for a meditative grounding exercise. Pray because of the one we are praying to. Pray to God because He is our Shepherd. He hears us. He is really the only one who knows how to still the anxieties of our hearts. To give us grace in the midst of difficult living.
