Summer Missions:

Below is a list of Discipleship House missions for this summer.  Please contact Nathan Gilbert or another appropriate leader if you have any questions or are interested in signing up. 

June 14-22 Louisiana – We will make our annual trip to Elton, Louisiana to work a sports camp and vacation Bible school alongside Indian Bible Church.  This trip does have a slight overlap with the Grace Fellowship High School Camp so a person will unlikely be able to do both the mission trip and the camp.  Contact Bo Derks or Nathan Gilbert with questions.  Cost is $250 per person.

July 7-12 Wisconsin – We will be making a return trip to Browntown, Wisconsin.  We will be working alongside Peace Church in Christ to lead a sports camp and vacation Bible school.  We will likely have a few students from Grace Fellowship joining our team.  The cost of the trip is $250.  

July 20-27 Grenada – We will be returning to Grenada to work a camp and/or VBS in the capital city of St. Georges alongside Grenada 24/7.  The cost of this trip may vary but is usually between $1,300 – $1,800 before fundraising.  

August 3 Local Sports Camp – We will be working in partnership with Grace Fellowship Church as well as 1-3 other local churches to run 1 day sports / VBS camps in Northern Kentucky.  The purpose of this is 1) to engage the local communities for the gospel, 2) to promote the smaller local churches within their communities, and 3) to give opportunities for teens in local churches to serve in their first mission experiences.  There is no cost for this day.

WORSHIP LYRICS FOR 7/15/24

 

Thank You God, for Saving Me

[Verse 1]
What can I give to you?
What can I offer to the king?
For all the love you’ve shown
For all your mercy over me

[Chorus]
I called your name, you heard my cry
Out of the grave, and into life
My heart is yours, my soul is free
Thank you God for saving me
Thank you God for saving me

[Verse 2]
The Rock of Salvation
My hope is built on nothing less
Morning by morning
How great is your faithfulness

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You gave your life upon the cross
You suffered once for all
You made a way
Jesus in victory you rose
You made us all your own
Now we are saved [x2]
Thank you God for saving me
Thank you God for saving me
Thank you God for saving me
Thank you God for saving me

[Chorus]

It Was Finished Upon That Cross

[Verse 1]
How I love the voice of Jesus
On the cross of Calvary
He declares His work is finished
He has spoken this hope to me
Though the sun had ceased its shining
Though the war appeared as lost
Christ had triumphed over evil
It was finished upon that cross

[Verse 2]
Now the curse, it has been broken
Jesus paid the price for me
Full, the pardon he has offered
Great, the welcome that I receive
Boldly, I approach my Father
Clothеd in Jesus’ righteousness
Thеre is no more guilt to carry
It was finished upon that cross

[Verse 3]
Death was once my great opponent
Fear once had a hold on me
But the Son who died to save us
Rose that we would be free indeed!
Death was once my great opponent
Fear once had a hold on me
But the Son who died to save us
Rose that we would be free indeed!
Yes, He rose that we would be free indeed!

[Verse 4]
Free from every plan of darkness
Free to live and free to love
Death is dead and Christ is risen!
It was finished upon that cross
Onward to eternal glory
To my Saviour and my God
I rejoice in Jesus’ victory
It was finished upon that cross
It was finished upon that cross
It was finished upon that cross

Undefeated Love

The spikes that nailed Christ to the cross, caused him agony
Where was the power that healed the lame
And caused the blind to see
The soldiers mocked and spit on him, gambling for his clothes
Where was the power that made the world
And tells the wind to blow

His power was in the love, pouring out for us
It was in the choice, to stay on that cross
Oh the mighty, undefeated love of Christ
Oh the mighty, undefeated love

Did demons start to tremble though their vict’ry seemed in hand
How could it be so effortless to kill the Son of Man
Just days before, His very name would make them shake with fear
Where was the power that cast them out? Why could they come so near

His power was in the love, pouring out for us
It was in the choice, to stay on that cross
Oh the mighty, undefeated love of Christ
Oh the mighty, undefeated love

His love will never fail, will never fail
His love, His love will never fail, will never fail

The curse of death was drawing close, forsaken and alone
Where was the power that raised the dead and changes hearts of stone
With every pain he freely bore, the wrath reserved for us
There is no greater sacrifice. There is no greater love

His power was in the love, pouring out for us
It was in the choice, to stay on that cross
Oh the mighty, undefeated love of Christ
Oh the mighty, undefeated love

His love will never fail, will never fail

Ever Be

[Verse 1]
Your love is devoted
Like a ring of solid gold
Like a vow that is tested
Like a covenant of old
And Your love is enduring
Through the winter rain
And beyond the horizon
With mercy for today

[Pre-Chorus]
Faithful You have been
And faithful You will be
You pledge yourself to me
And it’s why I sing

[Chorus]
Your praise will ever be on my lips
Ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips
Ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips
Ever be on my lips Your praise will ever be on my lips
Ever be on my lips

[Verse 2]
You Father the orphan
Your kindness makes us whole
And You shoulder our weakness
And Your strength becomes our own
Now You’re making me like You
Clothing me in white
Bringing beauty from ashes
For You will have Your bride
Free of all the guilt
And rid of all the shame
And known by her true name
And it’s why I sing

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You will be praised
You will be praised
With angels and saints
We sing worthy are You Lord
[Repeat]

[Chorus]

All Glory be to Christ

[Verse 1]
Should nothing of our efforts stand
No legacy survive
Unless the Lord does raise the house
In vain its builders strive
To you who boast tomorrow’s gain
Tell me what is your life
A mist that vanishes at dawn

[Chorus]
All glory be to Christ!
All glory be to Christ our king!
All glory be to Christ!
His rule and reign we’ll ever sing,
All glory be to Christ!

[Verse 2]
His will be done
His kingdom come
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread
Praise Him the Lord of love
Let living water satisfy
The thirsty without price
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet

[Chorus]
All glory be to Christ!
All glory be to Christ our king!
All glory be to Christ!
His rule and reign will ever sing,
All glory be to Christ!

[Verse 3]
When on the day the great I Am
The faithful and the true
The Lamb who was for sinners slain
Is making all things new.
Behold our God shall live with us
And be our steadfast light
And we shall ere his people be

[Chorus]
All glory be to Christ!
All glory be to Christ our king!
All glory be to Christ!
His rule and reign will ever sing,
All glory be to Christ!

I Will Follow

When the sea is calm and all is right
When I feel Your favor flood my life
Even in the good, I’ll follow You
Even in the good, I’ll follow You

When the boat is tossed upon the waves
When I wonder if You’ll keep me safe
Even in the storms, I’ll follow You
Even in the storms, I’ll follow You

I believe everything that You say You are
I believe and I have seen Your unchanging heart
In the good things and in the hardest part
I believe and I will follow You
I believe and I will follow You

When I see the wicked prospering
When I feel I have no voice to sing
Even in the want, I’ll follow You
Even in the want, I’ll follow You

I believe everything that You say You are
I believe and I have seen Your unchanging heart
In the good things and in the hardest part
I believe and I will follow You
I believe and I will follow You

When I find myself so far from home
And You lead me somewhere that I don’t wanna go
Even in my death, I’ll follow You
Even in my death, I’ll follow You

When I come to end this race I’ve run
And I receive the prize that Christ has won
I will be with You in Paradise
I will be with You in Paradise

I believe everything that You say You are
I believe and I have seen Your unchanging heart
In the good things and in the hardest part
I believe and I will follow You
I believe and I will follow You

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

[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 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
That’s 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

[Bridge]
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
[Repeat]

[Chorus]
