HOLY SPIRIT TAKE CONTROL Sasser/Harrison

Holy Spirit take control

Fan the flame within my soul

Holy Spirit take control

Breathe down

Deep within my spirit

Strong fire burn

Blessed Assurance hwb 332

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

Born of his Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.

This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.

Angels descending bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest.

I in my Savior am happy and bless’d,

Watching and waiting looking above,

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

YOUR LOVE DEFENDS ME Matt Maher

You are my joy, You are my song

You are the well, the One I'm drawing from

You are my refuge, my whole life long

Where else would I go?

Chorus

Surely my God is the strength of my soul

Your love defends me, Your love defends me

And when I feel like I'm all alone

Your love defends me, Your love defends me

Day after day, night after night

I will remember, You're with me in this fight
Although the battle, it rages on
The war already won

I know the war is already won

We sing Hallelujah
You're my portion
My salvation

O PRAISE THE NAME

I cast my mind to Calvary

Where Jesus bled and died for me.

I see His wounds, His hands His feet.

My Savior on that cursed tree

His body bound and drenched in tears

They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb.

The entrance sealed by heavy stone

Messiah still and all alone

Chorus

O praise the name of the Lord our God

O praise His name forever more

For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

Then on the third at break of dawn,

the Son of heaven rose again.

O trampled death where is your sting?

The angels roar for Christ the King

He shall return in robes of white

The blazing Son shall pierce the night.

And I will rise among the saints,

My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face

CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART

Create in me a clean heart, O God,

And renew a right spirit within me; (repeat)

Cast me not away from Thy presence. Oh Lord

Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation

And renew a right spirit within me.
