THIS IS AMAZING GRACE
Verse 1
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings!
Verse 2
Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings!
Chorus
This is amazing Grace,
This is unfailing love,
That You would take my place
That You would bear by cross!
You lay down Your life
That I would be set free!
Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me!
Verse 3
Who brings our chaos back into order,
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory,
Who rules the nations with truth and justice,
Shines like the sun in, all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings!

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave! (3x)

Worthy! Worthy! Worthy!
WHAT MERCY DID FOR ME
Verse 1
I was hopeless I knew I was lost
Death and darkness were my only songs
I needed someone to come rescue me
Then mercy heard my plea
Chorus
Lord You found me You healed me
You called me from the grave
You gave me a real love
I thank You Jesus
You washed my sins away
Oh now I’m living like I’m forgiven
You came and set me free
That’s what Your mercy did for me
Verse 2
You gave me beauty for my guilty stains
And now I’m living day to day by Your grace
So excuse me if I can’t contain my praise
‘Cause I know that I’ve been saved
Bridge
Every morning mercy will restore me I will proclaim
Even if the world may fall before me I will proclaim
ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOR LEADS ME
Verse 1
All the way my Savior leads me
Who have I to ask beside
How could I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my guide
All the way my Savior leads me
And cheers each winding path I tread
And gives me grace for ev’ry trial
Feeds me with the living Bread
Chorus
You lead me
And keep me from falling
You carry me
Close to Your heart
And surely
Your goodness and mercy
Will follow me
Verse 2
All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love
O the sureness of His promise
In the triumph of His blood
When my spirit clothed immortal
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way
Jesus led me all the way
DEATH WAS ARRESTED
Verse 1
Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin
Lost without hope with no place to begin
Your love made a way to let mercy come in
When death was arrested and my life began
Verse 2
Ash was redeemed only beauty remains
My orphan heart was given a name
My mourning grew quiet my feet rose to dance
When death was arrested and my life began
Chorus
Oh Your grace so free
Washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with You
It's Your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with You
Verse 3
Released from my chains I'm a prisoner no more
My shame was a ransom He faithfully bore
He cancelled my debt and He called me His friend
When death was arrested and my life began
Verse 4
Our Savior displayed on a criminal's cross
Darkness rejoiced as though Heaven had lost
But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand
That's when death was arrested and my life began
Ending
Oh we're free, free forever we're free
Come join the song of all the redeemed
Yes we're free, free forever amen
When death was arrested and my life began
