Cherub Song
“Amazing Grace”
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.
The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come; ‘tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

The
Birthday Blessing
All Watch over your children, O Lord, as their days increase; bless and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may your peace which passes understanding abide all the days of their life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Want To Walk As A Child Of The Light”

The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

Communion Songs
“Amazing Grace”
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see!
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.
The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come.
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun.

Am The Bread Of Life”

Refrain
And I will raise them up, and I will raise them up, And I will raise them up on the last day. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world, and they who eat of this bread, they shall live forever, they shall live forever. Refrain.
Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink of his blood, you shall not have life within you, you shall not have life within you. Refrain.
I am the resurrection, I am the life. They who believe in me, even if they die, they shall live forever. Refrain.
Yes, Lord, we believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who has come into the world. Refrain.
God made the sun, and God made the trees. God made the mountains, and God made me. Thank you, O Lord, for the sun and the trees. For making the mountains, for making me.
