Outro
And I’ll never be alone, anymore
How could my voice be quiet
You’re my deliverer, yeah
How Strong His Hold
How vast our sinful nature
We deserve to be lost
In our cold desperation
Christ hung on the sinner’s cross
How great is our salvation
He alone He bears the load
Death to life is His working
Seeds of grace freely sown
How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine
How strong is this assurance
His promise to endure
This gift never failing
True throughout and ever pure
How sweet is this communion
God’s song forged in my soul
This peace that’s like a river
Never stops it ever flows
How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine
How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine
How long this act of mercy
How firm this warranty
This grace goes on forever
The Lord’s sole guarantee
How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine
How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine
Scripture Reading — Acts 2:42-47
42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe[d] came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
And we’ll guard each one’s dignity and save each one’s pride
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
By our love, by our love
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
And together we’ll spread the news that God is in our land
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
By our love, by our love
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
