Praise Songs I’m Looking for a Miracle I’m looking for a miracle. I expect the impossible. I feel the intangible. I see the invisible. (repeat). The sky is the limit to what I can have. The sky is the limit to what I can have. The sky is the limit to what I can have. Just believe and receive it. God will perform it today – ay- ay. Just believe and receive it. God will perform it today. I expect a miracle every day, God will make a way out of no way.
********** I Came To Magnify the Lord I came to magnify the Lord. Praise His holy name. Lift Jesus higher. Lift Jesus higher. I just came to magnify. I just came to glorify. I just came to praise the Lord. For he is worthy, worthy of all my praise. He is worthy. Worthy of all my praise. Worthy, worthy of all my praise. Never will a rock cry out in my place. He’s worthy of all my praise. I just came to magnify. I just came to glorify. I just came to praise the Lord. Never will a rock cry out in my place. He’s worthy of all my praise. Never. (repeat) I just came to magnify. I just came to glorify. I just came to praise the Lord.
Responsive Reading Freedom in Christ Galatians 4:24-31, 5:1 LEADER: For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— CONGREGATION: For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— LEADER: But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. CONGREGATION: For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband.” LEADER: Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. CONGREGATION: But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. LEADER: Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” CONGREGATION: So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free. TOGETHER: Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Look at You -Author Unknown Girl, just look at you, with your pretty self. You are so beautiful! Not only are you beautiful, but you have the nerve to be talented and gifted by God. Hold your head up Girl and know that you are loved and appreciated. Don’t give the enemy any place to cause you to have low self-esteem or doubt. You are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made. This is your year to decree it and speak it! This is the year of new beginnings. So get your step on Girl, because God is faithful to perform all that He has promised to you! Be confident in Him and His word. The words you speak from your mouth determine your outcome. Why not speak good and positive things over your life Girl? You are not defeated but rather you are more than a conqueror. You have been through a lot in your life and look at you now, just as pretty and as strong as ever! Oh, how blessed you are. Look what God has done and look where He has brought you from. Begin to bless God and praise Him for all that He has done, and for making you so beautiful! He had you in His precious hands all the time. Your life is orchestrated by Him. He knows you and what is best for you. Believe that He has even greater things in store for you and your family. Girl, get over the silly stuff and grab hold of faith. Seek God as never before. Sure, times are hard, but God is Good! Learn to love who He has made you to be. There is no one like YOU. – Enjoy the Love of Jesus and Enjoy Life!
