Oh Love That Will Not Let Me Go

VERSE 1
O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be
My life is not my own, it’s Yours
My life is not my own, it’s Yours

VERSE 2
O light that follows all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be
So light a fire in my heart, and I will burn for You
So light a fire in my heart, and I will burn for You

VERSE 3
O Joy that seeks me through the pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be
So anoint me with joy, and joyful I will be
So anoint me with joy, and joyful I will be

VERSE 4
O Cross that’s lifting up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be
We will sing, “Holy, Holy is the King of Kings!” (repeat)

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder

VERSE 1
Let us love and sing and wonder
Let us praise the Savior’s name
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder
He has quenched Mt. Sinai’s flame

VERSE 2
Let us love the Lord who bought us
Pitied us when enemies
Called us by His grace and taught us
Gave us ears and gave us eyes

CHORUS 1
He has washed us with His blood
He has washed us with His blood
He has washed us with His blood
He presents our souls to God

VERSE 3
Let us wonder grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store
When through grace in Christ our trust is
Justice smiles and asks no more

CHORUS 2
He who washed us with His blood
He who washed us with His blood
He who washed us with His blood
Has secured our way to God

VERSE 4
Let us praise and join the chorus,
of the saints enthroned on high
Here they trusted Him before us,
now their praises fill the sky

CHORUS 3
He has washed us with His blood
He has washed us with His blood
He has washed us with His blood
He will bring us home to God

Jesus, Thank You

VERSE 1
The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend
The agonies of Calvary
You the perfect holy One crushed Your Son
Who drank the bitter cup reserved for me

CHORUS
Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, thank You
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank You
Once your enemy now seated at Your table
Jesus, thank You

VERSE 2
By your loving sacrifice, I’ve been brought near
Your enemy You’ve made Your friend
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace
Your mercy and Your kindness know no end

BRIDGE
Lover of my soul I want to live for You

Jesus Paid It All

VERSE 1
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
For nothing good have I —
Whereby Thy grace to claim,
I’ll wash my garments white —
In the blood of Calvary’s Lamb.

CHORUS
Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

VERSE 2
And now complete in Him
My robe His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side, I am divinely blest.
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone, Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.

VERSE 3
When from my dying bed My ransomed soul shall rise,
“Jesus died my soul to save,” Shall rend the vaulted skies.
And when before the throne I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down All down at Jesus’ feet.

BRIDGE
O praise the One who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead

It Is Well

VERSE 1
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”

VERSE 2
My sin, o, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

CHORUS
WOMEN: It is well
MEN REPEAT: It is well
WOMEN: With my soul
MEN REPEAT: With my soul
ALL: It is well, it is well, with my soul.

VERSE 3
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Ekklesia Muskogee is a reformed baptist church that gathers for worship in Muskogee, Oklahoma. We confess the 1689 second London baptist confession of faith. We affirm the five solas of the Reformation as well as the doctrines of grace (otherwise known as the five points of Calvinism), and each of our pastors would not be ashamed to be called a Calvinist. We are a church led by elders, of which there is a plurality (also called pastors and overseers in the Scriptures). Our mission is to make disciples, love cities, and plant churches.
