True Freedom (Acts 16:11-18)

Chris Tomlin Lyrics
"God Of This City"

You're the God of this city
You're the king of these people
You're the lord of this nation
You are

You're the light in this darkness
You're the hope to the hopeless
You're the peace to the restless
You are

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here

There is no one like our god
There is no one like you, God

Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here

Kristin Chenoweth Lyrics
"Because He Lives"

God sent his son
They called him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He bled and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives

Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know he holds the future
My life is worth the living just because he lives

How sweet to hold
A new born baby
And feel the pride
And joy he gives
But better still
The calm assurance
That child can face uncertain days because he lives

Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know he holds the future
My life is worth the living just because he lives

And then one day
I'll cross the river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death
Gives way to victory
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know he lives

Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know he holds the future
My life is worth the living just because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know he holds the future
My life is worth the living just because he lives

Hillsong United Lyrics
"Glimmer In The Dust"

I was lost in a moment, a glimmer in time
Like a child chasing shadows, my back to the light
I was lost in a fog till You caught my eye
Through the smoke and the mirrors, a glimmer of life

I know there's a place I belong
Where I'll see the fullness of love
A child face to face with my God
Lost in Your awesome wonder
While I wait, I will not be afraid
My faith will remain all the same
My hope in the things not yet seen
Found in the greatest of these

I found love in a moment, exploding in light
At the cross where the curtains, were ripped from my eyes
I found heaven in pieces, in glimmer and dust
Broken glass in reflection, till we shine like the sun

I know there's a place I belong
Where I'll see the fullness of love
A child face to face with my God
Lost in Your awesome wonder
While I wait, I will not be afraid
My faith will remain all the same
My hope in the things not yet seen
Found in the greatest of these

I know that You love me
I know that You love me
Your love never fails
Your love never fails

When all's said and done
All that matters is love (I know that You love me)
So let love take over (I know that You love me)
Not just in part but in all that You are (Your love never fails)
Let Your love take over (Your love never fails)

When all's said and done
All that matters is love (I know that You love me)
So let love take over (I know that You love me)
Not just in part but in all that You are (Your love never fails)
Let Your love take over (Your love never fails)

When all's said and done
All that matters is love (I know that You love me)
So let love take over (I know that You love me)
Not just in part but in all that You are (Your love never fails)
Let Your love take over (Your love never fails)

When all's said and done
All that matters is love (I know that You love me)
So let love take over (I know that You love me)
Not just in part but in all that You are (Your love never fails)
Let Your love take over (Your love never fails)

When all's said and done
All that matters is love (I know that You love me)
So let love take over (I know that You love me)
Not just in part but in all that You are (Your love never fails)
Let Your love!

I know there's a place I belong
Where I'll see the fullness of love
A child face to face with my God
Lost in Your awesome wonder
While I wait, I will not be afraid
My faith will remain all the same
My hope in the things not yet seen
Found in the greatest of these

When all's said and done
All that matters is love (I know that You love me)
So let love take over (I know that You love me)
Not just in part but in all that You are (Your love never fails)
Let Your love take over (Your love never fails)

When all's said and done
All that matters is love (I know that You love me)
So let love take over (I know that You love me)
Not just in part but in all that You are (Your love never fails)
Let Your love take over (Your love never fails)

When all's said and done
All that matters is love (I know that You love me)
So let love take over (I know that You love me)
Not just in part but in all that You are (Your love never fails)
Let Your love take over (Your love never fails)

Acts 16:11-18 ESV

The Conversion of Lydia
11 So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, 12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days. 13 And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 14 One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. 15 And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.

Paul and Silas in Prison
16 As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling. 17 She followed Paul and us, crying out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.” 18 And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

John 8:31-36 ESV

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

John 14:19 ESV

Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.

Because I know he holds the future
My life is worth the living just because he lives
