Ministering to God
But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer Me the fat and the blood, declares the Lord GOD. “They shall enter My sanctuary; they shall come near to My table to minister to Me and keep My charge (Ezekiel 44:15-16)
The book of Hebrews gives another major priestly duty. “Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name” (Hebrews 13:15). We are priests who are appointed by God to offer sacrifices to the Lord! God is asking us for two sacrifices: The sacrificed offering of our lives and unashamed offering of praise from our lips.

Days of Elijah
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Behold He comes riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
So lift your voice, it’s the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes
And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant David
Rebuilding the temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are white in the world
And we are Your laborers in Your vineyard
Declaring the Word of the Lord
Behold He comes riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
So lift your voice, it’s the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes
There is no God like Jehovah, There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah, There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah, There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah, There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah, There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah, There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah, There is no God like Jehovah
Behold He comes riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
So lift your voice, it’s the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes

We have thought on Your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of Your temple. -Psalm 48:9
Living HopeHow great the chasm that lay between us.
How high the mountain I could not climb.
In desperation I turned to heaven, and spoke Your name into the night.
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness
tore through the shadows of my soul.
The work is finished, the end is written.
Jesus Christ, my living hope.
Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory to wear my sin and bear my shame.
The cross has spoken, “I am forgiven.”
The King of kings calls me His own.
Beautiful Savior, I’m Yours forever.
Jesus Christ, my living hope.
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free!
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me!
You have broken every chain,
There’s salvation in Your name.
Jesus Christ, my living hope!
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free!
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me!
You have broken every chain,
There’s salvation in Your name.
Jesus Christ, my living hope!
Then came the morning that sealed the promise,
Your buried body began to breathe.
Out of the silence, the roaring Lion
declared the grave has no claim on me.
Then came the morning that sealed the promise,
Your buried body began to breathe.
Out of the silence, the roaring Lion
declared the grave has no claim on me.
Jesus, Yours is the victory!
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free!
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me!
You have broken every chain,
There’s salvation in Your name.
Jesus Christ, my living hope!
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free!
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me!
You have broken every chain,
There’s salvation in Your name.
Jesus Christ, my living hope!
Jesus Christ, my living hope!
God, You are my living hope!

Who You Say I AmWho am I that the highest King would welcome me?
I was lost, but He brought me in. Oh, His love for me! Oh, His love for me!
Who the Son sets free, oh, is free indeed. I’m a child of God, yes, I am.
Free at last, He has ransomed me: His grace runs deep.
While I was a slave to sin, Jesus died for me, Yes, He died for me.
Who the Son sets free, oh, is free indeed. I’m a child of God, yes, I am.
In my Father’s house there’s a place for me I’m a child of God, yes, I am.
I am chosen, not forsaken. I am who You say I am.
You are for Me, not against me. I am who You say I am.
I am chosen, not forsaken. I am who You say I am.
You are for Me, not against me.
I am who You say I am. I am who You say I am.
Who the Son sets free, oh, is free indeed. I’m a child of God, yes, I am.
In my Father’s house there’s a place for me I’m a child of God, yes, I am.
In my Father’s house there’s a place for me I’m a child of God, yes, I am.
I am chosen, not forsaken. I am who You say I am.
You are for Me, not against me. I am who You say I am.
I am chosen, not forsaken. I am who You say I am.
You are for Me, not against me.
I am who You say I am. Yes, I am who You say I am.
Who the Son sets free, oh, is free indeed. I’m a child of God, yes, I am.
In my Father’s house there’s a place for me I’m a child of God, yes, I am.

In the Sweet By and ByThere’s a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there.
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blest,
And our spirits shall sorrow not more, Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
To our bountiful Father above, We will offer the tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love, And the blessing that hallow our days.
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

When We All Get to Heaven
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace:
In the mansions bright and blessed, He’ll prepare for us a place.
When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus, We’ll sing and shout the victory.
While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will over spread the sky;
But when traveling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh.
When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus, We’ll sing and shout the victory.
Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting serving every day;
Just on glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay.
Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soo the pearly gates will open; We shall tread the streets of gold.
When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus, We’ll sing and shout the victory.
Words and music by ELIZA E. HEWITT and EMILY D. WILSON
Because He Lives
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.
