Leader - Jesus reminds us that what we say reveals what is in our heart. What kinds of words come from your mouth.
People - You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say.
Leader - That is an indication of what is in your heart. You can't solve your heart problem, however, just by cleaning up your speech.
People - A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak.
Leader - You must allow the Holy Spirit to fill you with new attitudes and motives; then your speech will be cleansed at its source.
People - The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”
Jesus, lover of my soul
Jesus, I will never let you go
You've taken me from the miry clay
Set my feet upon the rock and now I know
I love you, I need you, though my world may fall
I'll never let you go
My savior, my closest friend
I will worship you until the very end.
Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging
Your love is a mountain, firm beneath my feet
Your love is a mystery, how You gently lift me
When I am surrounded, Your love carries me
Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging
Your love is a mountain, firm beneath my feet
Your love is a mystery, how You gently lift me
When I am surrounded, Your love carries me
CHORUS:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing
VERSE 2:
Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising
All the joy that's growing deep inside of me
Every time I see You, all Your goodness shines through
And I can feel this God song, rising up in me
Passing the Peace
