I Am “One of Those…” I am one of those, at the table not invited,

I Am “One of Those…” I am one of those, at the table not invited, And, to all here at the feast, it’s very plain; I cannot hide in etiquette or conversation, But Christ himself sent word to me and so I came.

I am one of those who was dead and fully buried, And I still bear every stigma of decay; There is no way I can cover what I’ve been through, ‘Cause when Jesus called, I came fresh from the grave.

Though the world may number me among the foolish, I think Jesus Christ is all they need to know, Jesus suffered and paid blood to buy the lowest of the low. Hallelujah! Amen! That’s me! Yes, I am one of those!

I am one of those, who was a leper and contagious, The deformities and scars I have today; Yet while I was vile with sickness, Jesus loved me, And he healed, restored, and, through and through, remade.

I am one of those who was doomed to death in prison, And I’ve done more evil things than I could say; Jesus broke inside and there unlocked my shackles, And, to set me free, he died and took my place.

The world may number me among the foolish, ‘cause I think Jesus Christ is all they need to know, Jesus suffered and paid blood to buy the lowest of the low. Hallelujah! Amen! That’s me! Yes, I am one of those!

I am one of those, who is hard to love and ugly, Self-righteous critical religion was my stain. So I ran Christ to wash and be discovered; Jesus came to me and covered up my shame.

The world may number me among the foolish, I think Jesus Christ is all they need to know, Jesus suffered and paid blood to buy the lowest of the low. Hallelujah! Amen! That’s me! Yes, I am one of those!

You’re Beautiful I see Your face in every sunrise The colors of the morning are inside Your eyesThe world awakens in the light of the dayI look up to the sky and say, “You’re beautiful”

I see Your power in the moonlit nightWhere planets are in motion and galaxies are brightWe are amazed in the light of the starsIt’s all proclaiming who You are“You’re beautiful”

I see You there hanging on a treeYou bled and then You died And then You rose again for meNow You are sitting on Your heavenly throneSoon we will be coming home“You’re beautiful”

When we arrive at eternity’s shoreWhere death is just a memory and tears are no moreWe’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring Your bride will come together and we’ll sing“You’re beautiful, You're beautiful”

2 Thessalonians 1:10-11 When He comes on that day to be glorified in His saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed….

2 Thessalonians 1:10-12 To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by His power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our God reigns… Our God reigns. Forever, Your Kingdom reigns!

Refuge: Psalm 31 Unto your hands O God of truth, my spirit I commit. You have redeemed my soul from death and saved me from the pit.

The passions of my hope and fear maintain a doubtful strife While sorrow, pain and sin conspire to take away my life

I know my days are in Your hands though I draw near to dust You are the God in whom I trust, You are my refuge.

So lift up your voice and sing aloud, and praise Him all you saints, How wondrous is His grace, He is our refuge.

Oh make your most beloved face to shine upon me now And save me for your mercy’s sake for I am lost without

While in my haste I’m quick to say “where is your help for me?” But you attend me when I pray and you have heard my plea.

Psalm 31 But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My days are in your hand… I had said in my distress, “I am cut off from your sight.”But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help. So, love the Lord, all you his saints!The Lord preserves the faithful!

Dear Refuge Dear refuge of my weary soul, On Thee when sorrows rise, On Thee when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou alone can heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief For every pain I feel.

But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call Thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail And all my hopes decline. Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to Thee, Though prostrate in the dust.

Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face, And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sovereign grace Be deaf when I complain? No, still the ear of sovereign grace Attends the mourner’s prayer. Oh, may I ever find access To breathe my sorrows there

Thy mercy seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend Thy will, And wait beneath Thy feet. Thy mercy seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend Thy will, And wait beneath Thy feet.

Our Great God Eternal God, unchanging, mysterious and unknown Your boundless love, unfailing, in grace and mercy shown,

Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight around Your glorious throne, They raise their voices day and night in praise to You alone

Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God! Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God!

Lord, we are weak and frail, helpless in the storm Surround us with Your angels Hold us in Your arms

Our cold and ruthless enemy, his pleasure is our harm Rise up, O Lord, and he will flee before our sovereign God

Let every creature in the sea and every flying bird Let every mountain, every field and valley of the earth

Let all the moons and all the stars in all the universe Sing praises to the living God who rules them by His word

I Am “One of Those…” I am one of those, at the table not invited,
