May 17 Virtual Worship

We are glad to have you (virtually) with us again this week, the sixth Sunday of Easter.

Over the next week, as the world slowly looks outside again, we encourage you to reach out (safely) to friends and family. The power of reconnection will be an incredible healing force as we move forward together.

This week’s hymns:

Be Thou My Vision

1. Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
   Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art-
   Thou my best thought by day or by night,
   Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
2. Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
   I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
   Thou my great Father, and I thy true son,
   Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
3. Riches I need not, nor man’s empty praise,
   Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
   Thou and Thou only be first in my heart,
   High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
4. High King of heaven, my victory won,
   May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav’n’s Sun!
   Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
   Still be my Vision, O ruler of all.

Because He Lives

1. God sent His son, they called Him Jesus;
   He came to love, heal, and forgive;
   He lived and died to buy my pardon,
   An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

REFRAIN
Because He lives I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

2. How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
   And feel the pride and joy He gives;
   But greater still the calm assurance,
   This child can face uncertain days because He lives.

REFRAIN

3. And then one day I’ll cross the river;
   I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
   and then as death gives way to victory,
   I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives.
