This is another day that the Lord has kept me
Ooh, this is another day He blessed me

And I know He's gonna keep me
Until He returns

PERFECT WORK LYRICS BY JOYOUS CELEBRATION 18

I've hit rock bottom
Never felt this way before
Every door seems closed
Nothing really works
All is falling apart
Life is not worth living anymore
I'm worn out, I'm helpless

CHORUS:
I am here, I am here
Though it looks rough at times
Know I ordained your path
Count it all joy
My hand is on you
No eye has seen
No ear has heard
I'm not through with you
Till my perfect work is done in you

SPOKEN:
Tonight we just want to let you know
It doesn't matter what you've been going through
God is here for you
Just know that God has ordained your path
You don't need to worry about anything
Because His hand is on you
You know why?
'Cause the word of God says:
No eye has seen
And no ear has heard
What the Lord is gonna do through you
Hallelujah
Lord I know you never left me
You always make it on time
Now I'm crying out to you Lord
For your saving Grace
I need you now more than ever
Lord I'm so desperate for you
I have much to say
But can't find the right words
To explain how I feel

(Chorus)
I hear you Lord
I believe my tomorrow is a better day
My spirit is charged
My faith has emerged
Breakthrough is on its way
We belong to You
Who has better, higher ways

(Chorus)
SPOKEN:
James chapter 1 verse 4 says:
My brethren, count it all joy
When you fall into diverse temptations
Knowing that the trying of your faith produces patience.
But let patience have her perfect work,
That you may be complete, entire.
Lacking nothing.
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

TIS SO SWEET LYRICS BY JOYOUS CELEBRATION18

Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord!”

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

ACCAPELLA MEDLEY LYRICS BY PHELO BALA FT. JOYOUS 18

I am Thine O Lord; I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
Lord I will lift mine eyes to the hills
Knowing my help is coming from you
Lord peace you give me in the times of the storms
You are the source of my strength
You are the strength of my life
I lift my hands in total praise to You
Amen amen, amen
Amen amen, amen
