Our Foundation hymn for this Sunday is “Crown Him with Many Crowns”. This hymn is based on Revelation 19:12, “…And on His head were many crowns”. It originally had 6 verses and was
considered a sermon in a song. Then 23 years later 6 more verses were added. ( I promise we will not sing all 12 verses.)
Verse 1 Crowns Him as Eternal King.
Verse 2 Demonstrates His love and suffering for us.
Verse 3 Proclaims His resurrection and ascension.
Verse 4 Worships Him as God the Son adored and magnified.
We will also sing “Everyone” This songs declares that Jesus is:
Great in splendor, Lord of everything, Worthy is Your Name
Never changing, Ever Reigning King, Worthy is Your Name
Praises to the One Who saves us
Through His Blood He gave us life and now we come, everyone
All creation rises up to declare Your Wonders
As people everywhere sing praises.
Our next song is “Days of Elijah”
“These are ‘Elijah’ days.” Elijah’s story is in the book of Kings and you can read how he felt isolated and alone in the culture in which he lived. But God told him to stand up and speak for Him. Check out the article by the author, go to the link below to read more about this song.

Finally we will sing “Fairest Lord Jesus” with a chorus added that says:
“You are fairer than the fairest of ten thousand, lovelier than all I’ve ever seen. You are brighter than the brightest star in heaven. Jesus you’re everything to me. ”
This week I pray that you will have new hope realizing that Jesus is our Eternal King!
