Welcome to all who are worshipping with us today! It is our privilege to serve you, and we hope you will feel connected and at home. Our community of faith exists to connect people to Jesus and proclaim that God is big enough to shape and transform your life story. As we follow Jesus and connect with all those who come into the church, we hope you find your place in God's story of salvation. It is our vision to be an irresistible church that unapologetically connects you your next-door neighbors, and the next generation to Jesus. Being connected to Jesus leads to a growing relationship with God, a life of purpose, and becoming an activated world-changer.

I hope your time with us will be an encounter with the living God and you experience the love and grace of God through worship and the people at John Wesley UMC.

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let his praises ring;

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God.

[CHORUS]

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail.

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to him eternally by love's strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,

Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

Listening every moment to the Spirit's call,

Resting in my Savior as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder

consider all the worlds thy hands have made,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

[CHORUS]

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee;

how great thou art, how great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to tee;

how great thou art, how great thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander,

and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur

and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze;

[CHORUS]

And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,

sent him to die, I scarce can take it in;

that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,

he bled and died to take away my sin;

[CHORUS]

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

Then I shall bow in humble adoration,

and there proclaim, my God how great thou art!

[CHORUS]

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,

and to take him at his word;

just to rest upon his promise,

and to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

[CHORUS]

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!

How I've proved him o'er and o'er!

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

O for grace to trust him more!

Oh how sweet to trust in Jesus,

just to trust his cleansing blood;

and in simple faith to plunge me

neath the healing, cleansing flood!

[CHORUS]

Yes 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,

just from sin and self to cease;

just from Jesus simply taking

life and rest, and joy and peace.

[CHORUS]

I'm so glad I learned to trust thee,

precious Jesus, Savoir, friend;

and I know that thou art with me,

wilt be with me to the end.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

the emblem of suffering and shame;

and I love that old cross where the dearest and best

for a world of lost sinners was slain.

[CHORUS]

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

till my trophies at last I lay down;

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

and exchange it some day for a crown.

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

has a wondrous attraction for me;

or the dear Lamb of God left his glory above

to bear it to dark Calvary.

[CHORUS]

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,

a wondrous beauty I see,

for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,

to pardon and sanctify me.

[CHORUS]

To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,

its shame and reproach gladly bear;

then he'll call me some day to my home far away,

where his glory forever I'll share.

[CHORUS]

I serve a risen Savior, He's in the world today;

O know that He is living, whatever foes may say

I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer,

And just in time I need Him, He's always here.

[CHORUS]

He lives! He lives!

Christ Jesus lives today!

Along life's narrow way.

He lives! He lives!

Salvation to impart!

You ask me how I know He lives?

He lives within my heart!

In all the world around me I see His loving care.

And though my heart grows weary, I never will despair.

I know that He is leading through all the stormy blast

The day of His appearing will come at last.

[CHORUS]

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian, lift up your voice and sing

Eternal hallelujas to Jesus Christ the King!

The hope of all who seek Him, the help of all who find;

None other is so loving, so good and kind.

[CHORUS]

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

leaning on the everlasting arms;

what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

[CHORUS]

Leaning, leaning,

safe and secure from all alarms;

leaning, leaning,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,

leaning on the everlasting arms;

O how bright the path grows from day to day.

leaning on the everlasting arms.

[CHORUS]

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,

leaning on the everlasting arms?

I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

[CHORUS]

[2x]

It's Your heart we're searching for

We want You and nothing more

Let Your glory fill this place

We're alive in Your presence

[CHORUS]

We surrender all to You

Do what You want to,

Do what You want to

God we long to see You move

Do what you want to,

Do what You want to

We are standing in Your light

And our hearts are open wide

Let us see more than before

Lord, come have your way here

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE 4x]

All-consuming fire fall,

Fall on us

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]

When we walk with the Lord

In the light of His word

What a glory He sheds on our way

While we do His goodwill

He abides with us still

And with all who will trust and obey

[CHORUS]

Trust and obey

For there's no other way

To be happy in Jesus

But to trust and obey

But we never can prove

The delights of His love

Until all on the altar we lay

For the favor He shows

For the joy He bestows

Are for them who will trust and obey

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]

Lord, I love You

Please help me to trust and obey

Lord, I love You

Please help me to trust and obey

Then in fellowship sweet

We will sit at His feet

Or we'll walk by His side in the way

What He says we will do

Where He sends we will go

Never fear, only trust and obey

[CHORUS 2x]

[BRIDGE]

The Lord bless you and keep you

Make His face shine upon you

And be gracious to you

The Lord turn His face toward. you

And give you peace

Amen, amen, amen

Amen, amen, amen

This is my worship

This is my offering

In every moment

I withhold nothing

I'm learning to trust You

Even when I can't see it

And even in suffering

I have to believe it

[CHORUS]

If You say it's wrong, then I'll say no

If You say release, I'm letting go

If You're in it with me, I'll begin

And when You say to jump, I'm diving in

If You say "be still", then I will wait

If You say to trust, I will obey

I don't wanna follow my own ways

I'm done chasing feelings

Spirit lead me

It felt like a burden

But once I could grasp it

You took me further

Further than I was asking

And simply to see You

It's worth it all

My life is an altar

Let Your fire fall

[CHORUS]

If You say "it's wrong", then I'll say "no"

If You say "release", I'm letting go

If You're in it with me, I'll begin

And when You say to jump, I'm diving in

If You say "be still", then I will wait

If You say to trust, I will obey

Teach me how to follow in Your ways

I'm done chasing feelings

Spirit lead me (4x)

[BRIDGE]

When all hope is gone

And Your word is all I've got

I have to believe

You still bring water from the rock

To satisfy my thirst

To love me at my worst

And even when I don't remember

You remind me of my worth

I don't trust my ways

I'm trading in my thoughts

I lay down everything

'Cause You're all that I want

I've landed on my knees

This is the cup You have for me

And even when it don't make sense

I'm gonna let Your Spirit lead

I'm gonna let Your Spirit lead (Spirit lead me) (3x)

Spirit lead me (4x)

[CHORUS]

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.

O Lord, we praise your name.

O Lord, we magnify your name:

Prince of Peace, mighty God;

O Lord God Almighty.
