I Will Worship!

Free for all, free for all
Over every limitation free for all
Where the Spirit of the Lord is
There is freedom free for all
...Free for all

Holy Spirit rise within us
Bring Your freedom free for all...Free for all
lyrics by Israel Houghton & Mark Townsend


Peace on Earth with dove and globe


He is exalted, the King is exalted on high...praise Him1

I worship the One Who is called Faithful, and celebrate His great faithfulness to me today ("Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is your faithfulness" – Lamentations 3:22, 23). I will worship the One Who is called True ("For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations" – Psalms 100:5).


Sunrise over ocean


I will not be religiously smug or pompous enough to claim that I know everything about Him, or that I (or my system of fellowship) own the sole rights of access to Him. There is certainly more to the great King than what I know about -- or than anyone else knows about! His revelation will be on-going and eternally progressive, and it is bigger and grander than the knowledge of men who know in part, and prophesy in part.

Today I will worship and pay homage to the One Who is called the Word of God ("In the beginning [before all time], was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself" – John 1:1 – AMP).

Today I will worship, as a king myself, the One Who is called the King of Kings.



Today I will worship, as a lord myself, the One Who is called the Lord of Lords.

Today I will worship, without fear or dread, the One Who rules with a rod of iron.

I will see the King today, and today I will live in the now!
(taken from A Year In The Now, bishop Jim Swilley)

Special thanks to Jeff Fergusson who was our special guest artist singing during the service this past weekend.  Thank you Jeff for letting our choir sing the choruses of your songs!

Don't forget the 'watchnight' service at Church in the Now on New Year's Eve 10-12!

In Memory of Toris Truitt

This past week one of the members of the Nation of Worship choir has passed away unexpectedly. Her name is: Toris Truitt, soprano.

Toris, your voice and presence will be missed, but I'm sure you are greatly welcomed into the heavenly choir.

The blessings of peace, strength, and comfort be with your family as the Spirit reminds them of the wonderful memories of you.

God bless you!

Lord, You are good and Your mercy endureth forever
People from every nation and tongue
From generation to generation
We worship You!




Is it true that You are thinking of me...it's amazing!
God Almighty, Lord of glory, You have called me friend.





In the fullness of Your grace
In the power of Your Name
You lift me up...You lift me up





Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
How great...how great is our God!





Amen! How great Thou art!
