Song: In Need – CCLI# 2431435
In need of grace, in need of love
In need of mercy raining down from high above
In need of strength, in need of peace
In need of things that only You can give to me
In need of Christ, the perfect lamb
My refuge strong, the great I Am
This is my song, my humble plea
I am your child, I am in need

Song: All Things New – CCLI #5448157
Come Lord and tarry not; bring the long looked for day;
O why these years of waiting here, these ages of decay?
Come for thy saints still wait; daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say “Come”, dost thou not hear the cry?
CHORUS:
O come and make all things new, come and make all things new
O come and make all things new, build up this ruined Earth,
Come and make all things new
Come for creation groans, impatient of thy stay
Worn out with these long years of ill, these ages of delay.
Come for love waxes cold, its steps are faint and slow;
Faith now is lost in unbelief, Hope’s lamp burns dim and low.
The Benediction: From 2 Timothy 4:22
May the Lord be with your spirit, and may His eternal grace be with you always!
