Lyrics:
When I tell you of true will you listen?
If I sing of wondrous love
will you heart?
Will you open up your heart
Be responsive from the
start
to the love we'd love to share?
It's very near
Chorus:
Love, there's a special kind of love
That defines the
human soul
Everyone should know
This special kind of love
Ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh
Love, there's a special kind of love
That will
really see the best survive
Bringing a feeling so alive
This
special kind of love
This special kind of love
For this special kind of love cannot be hidden
It's a power that
cannot be overcome
Changing everything, it knows no other equal
And was shown to us through Jesus Christ His Son
(God's own Son)
Repeat Chorus
And this special kind of love will last forever
It will bring the
promised land within our view
Meeting all our hearts' desires and true
fulfillings
With transforming power to heal and make us new
Repeat Chorus
Special kind of love
This special kind of love
Special kind of
love
This special kind of love
Scriptural Reference:
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. . . In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear. . ." 1 John 4:7-9,17-18

Lead: Duane Adams
Lyrics:
There is a story, speaks of glory, so I've learned
Knowing the
Savior, new behavior, through His words
Presence of power, at any hour,
I am sure
Through my trials, no denials, I'm secure
You might not
see why He cares
So I need to share (I need to share His love)
Chorus:
It's His love that shelters a wounded heart
It's His
strength to a spirit that's fallen apart
It's His faithful compassion
that always forgives
Through His death He has shown me how I should
live
It's the blood (it's the blood), it's the blood (it's the
blood)
It's the blood that He sees when He looks at me
It's the
blood (it's the blood), it's the blood (it's the blood)
It's the blood
that has made us free
It's the blood
I am committed, so I'm livin', standing firm
I'm still waiting,
anticipating, His return (I am going home)
His words are honest, and He
made a promise, of a place I'm going to (place I'm going to)
I know
what He's saying and I'm still praying that He'll come soon
Safe in His
arms is where I want be
I want to hold the hands that bled for me
Repeat Chorus
Oh, it's the blood (it's the blood), it's the blood (it's the
blood)
It's the blood that He sees when He looks at me
It's the
blood (it's the blood), it's the blood (it's the blood)
It's the blood
that has made us free
It's the blood
I am going home
Scriptural Reference:
"Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water." Hebrews 10:19-22

Lyrics:
Listen up people and let me tell you 'bout the great one
Some call

the people who call him Jah
But don't matter what you call him, don't

And in the midst of your hustle and bustle remember

Go down to the river end talk to Jah
Talk to Jah
Well way back in the Bible days,
He told the people consider your

And as you live in fancy home
don't turn your
back on Jah you cannot make it alone
Repeat Chorus

Hey mom
As you plant and sow
Hey mom
And no harvest grows
Why mom
This should let you know that he withholds from you
Hey mom
All these blessings here
Hey mom
That you hold so
dear
Hey mom
Don't you know from whence they came
Oh, but let me say to all of you
who talk to Jah and he talk to you
You will be strong all across this great big land
because you have
the power of his almighty hand
And in the hours of troubled times
you will be given peace of mind because you went
Repeat Chorus

You can talk to Jah, he's not very far
He's been wanting all along
to hear from you
All the yang and old feel him in their soul
cause
that is where he wants to be
So this is what Jah say to you
The silver's mine and the gold is
too
My latter glory's greater still
I'm in your heart and you are
in my will
So when you need a chat or two
I will be here and you
know what to do

Go down to the river and talk to Jah

Lead: Duane Adams
Lyrics:
Chorus:
Stand on the rock
Movin' a mountain
With faith even
small as a seed
And there on the rock
His love like a fountain
Giving me all that I ever will need
Pain - I have experienced pain
Too many hurts in my life
Were
bringing terrible strife
I have experienced pain
But Jesus is my
refuge
And I know He's paid His dues
So now I have a savior who
has
Walked within my shoes (he has walked within my shoes)
Repeat Chorus
Love - Have you experienced love?
Too many people will hate
Reaping a terrible fate
They won't experience love
But Jesus
is my anchor
He's defining what is love
I'm happy that He's
teaching me and
taking me above
Repeat Chorus
When you step out on the sinking sand
Putting your faith in mortal
man
Life has no direction, life will see no gain
Lacking love and
helpless on your
own you will remain
But when you trust in Jesus Christ
Who is the Author of true life
He's the door to go through, all you do is knock
He'll be there to
guide you when
You're standing on the rock
Repeat Chorus 2x
Scriptural Reference:
"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock
eternal." Isaiah 26:4

Lyrics:
Not a word was heard
At the tomb that day
Just the shuffle of
soldiers' feet
As they guarded the grave
One day, two days
Three
days had passed
Could it be that Jesus
Breathed His last?
Could it be that the Father
Had forsaken Him?
Turned His back on
His Son
Despising our sin?
All Hell seemed to whisper
"Just
forget it - He's dead!"
Then the Father looked down
To His Son and
said...
Chorus:
Arise My Love!
Arise My Love!
The grave no longer has
a hold on You!
No more Death's sting
No more
suffering
Arise
Arise
My Love
The earth trembled
And the tomb began to shake
And like lightning
from Heaven
The stone was rolled away
And as dead men, the
guards
Stood there in fright
As the power of Love
Displayed its
might
Then suddenly a melody
Filled the air
Riding wings of wind
It
was ev'rywhere
The words all Creation
Had been longing to
hear
The sweet sound of vict'ry
So loud and clear
Repeat Chorus (with echo)
Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell
has been defeated
The grave could not hold the King
Repeat Chorus (with echo)
Scriptural Reference:
"The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the
Pharisees went to Pilate. 'Sir,' they said, 'we remember that while he was
still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.''"
Matthew 27:62-63
"'Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O
death, is your sting?' The sting of death is sin, and the power of
sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
