Loved by You
Like Jerusalem, Lord, You have wept over me
In my moments of weakness and loss
I had nothing to give, so You offered Your grace
And Your love and Your Son and a cross
I am loved by You
I am loved by You
Though I stumble and fall
In spite of it all
I am loved
I am loved by You
And what I could not bear, You took as Your own
All the slander that should have been mine
And by taking my place, my redemption is sealed
By Your will, by Your hand, by design
I am loved by You
I am loved by You
Though I stumble and fall
In spite of it all
I am loved
I am loved by You
And no power below, no power above
Can separate us from Your love
No power below, no power above
Can separate us from Your love
I am loved by You
(No power below, no power above)
I am loved by You
(Can separate us from Your love)
Though I stumble and fall
In spite of it all

https://nscoc.org/connectO Love that Will Not Let Me Go
O love that will not let me go
I rest my weary soul in Thee
I give Thee back the life I owe
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be
O light that followest all my way
I yield my flickering torch to Thee
My heart restores its borrowed ray
That in Thy sunshine's blaze it's day
May brighter, fairer be
O cross that liftest up my head
I dare not ask to hide from Thee
I lay in dust life's glory dead
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be
O love that will not let me go
I rest my weary soul in Thee
I give Thee back the life I owe
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be
O light that followest all my way
I yield my flickering torch to Thee
My heart restores its borrowed ray

SA Hope Thanksgiving Baskets
Due by November 22
Help us provide families with a Thanksgiving meal! SA Hope Center partners with churches and businesses to provide Thanksgiving baskets to families that come through their program. The baskets are filled with food that will feed 4–6 people, allowing them the opportunity to cook and enjoy a meal with their family and friends on Thanksgiving.
Northside has committed to providing 50 baskets to families currently enrolled with SA Hope. We’re doing the same for ten families through our partnership with Care Portal. Not only will our Northside family provide the baskets and fill them with food, but the baskets will be delivered to the families personally! This is a beautiful opportunity to stretch ourselves and LOVE FIRST by providing food, a warm interaction, encouraging cards, and a time of prayer, blessing the family before leaving.
Sign-ups will open on November 2. When you sign up for a basket, you will claim a family and use the provided gift card to prepare a basket filled with the listed food items, create an encouraging card, and then deliver the completed basket to the receiving family. Baskets should be delivered on November 22.

Hymn of Heaven
(Women unison)
How I long to breathe the air of Heaven
Where pain is gone and mercy fills the streets
To look upon the one who bled to save me
And walk with Him for all eternity
(Soprano, Alto, Tenor)
There will be a day
When all will bow before Him
There will be a day
When death will be no more
Standing face to face
With He who died and rose again
Holy, holy is the Lord
(All parts)
Every prayer we prayed in desperation
The songs of faith
We sang through doubt and fear
In the end we’ll see that it was worth it
When He returns to wipe away our tears
There will be a day
When all will bow before Him
There will be a day
When death will be no more
Standing face to face
With He who died and rose again
Holy, holy is the Lord
On that day we join the resurrection
And stand beside the heroes of the faith
With one voice a thousand generations
Sing worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Forever He shall reign
So let it be today
We shout the hymn of Heaven
With angels and the Saints
We raise a mighty roar
Glory to our God
Who gave us life beyond the grave
Holy, holy is the Lord
So let it be today
We shout the hymn of Heaven
With angels and the Saints
We raise a mighty roar
Glory to our God
Who gave us life beyond the grave
Holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy is the Lord
