Please join us in singing the next 3 songs
3
When the music fades, all is stripped away, and I
simply come Longing just to bring something
thats of worth that will bless your heart. Ill
bring You more than a song, for a song in itself
is not what you have required. You search much
deeper within through the way things
appear Youre looking into my heart.
Im coming back to the heart of worship, And its
all about You, All about You Jesus. Im sorry,
Lord for the thing Ive made it, When its all
about you, All about you, Jesus.
King of endless worth, no one could express How
much you deserve. Though Im weak and poor, all I
have is Yours, Every single breath. Ill bring
you more than a song, For a song in itself is not
what you have required. You search much deeper
within through the way things appear Youre
looking into my heart.

Psalm 30 (page 762) (Read responsively)
www.jesusone.com/promiseofjoy/promisesofjoy.jpg

• 1 I will extol you, O Lord, for you have lifted
  me up, and did not let my foes rejoice over me.
• 2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and
  you healed me.
• 3 O Lord, you brought up my soul from Sheol,
  restored me to life from among those gone down to
  the Pit.
• 4 Sing praises to the Lord, O his faithful ones,
  and give thanks to his holy name.

13

• 5 Surely the Lords anger is but for a moment
  the Lords favor is for a lifetime.
• Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes
  with the morning.
• 6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall
  never be moved.
• 7 By your favor, O Lord, you had established me
  as a strong mountain
• you hid your face I was dismayed.
• 8 To you, O Lord, I cried, and to the Lord I
  made supplication

14

• 9 What profit is there in my death, if I go
  down to the Pit?
  
• Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your
  faithfulness?
• 10 Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me!
  O Lord, be my helper!
• 11 You have turned my mourning into dancing
  you have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with
  gladness,
• 12 that my soul may praise you and not be silent.
  
• O Lord my God,
• I will give thanks
• to you forever.

Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling
Hymn 348

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for
you and for me See, on the portals hes waiting
and watching, Watching for you and for
me. Come home, come home You who are weary,
come home Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is
calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!

Why should we tarry when Jesus is
pleading, Pleading for you and for me? Why should
we linger and heed not his mercies, Mercies for
you and for me? Come home, come home You who
are weary, come home Earnestly, tenderly Jesus
is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!
22
Time is now fleeting, the moments are
passing, Passing from you and from me Shadows
are gathering, deathbeds are coming, Coming for
you and for me. Come home, come home You who
are weary, come home Earnestly, tenderly Jesus
is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!

23
O for the wonderful love he has
promised, Promised for you and for me! Though we
have sinned, he has mercy pardon, Pardon for
you and for me. Come home, come home You who
are weary, come home Earnestly, tenderly Jesus
is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!
