Welcome to the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church - Inland Empire Prayer Gathering
2: 35 pm Opening Prayer
ALL PRAISE TO HIM
VERSE 1 All praise to Him, the God of light
Who formed the mountains by His might
All praise to Him Who names the stars
That sing His fame in skies afar
All praise to Him Who reigns in love
Who guides the galaxies above
Yet bends to hear our every prayer
With sovereign pow’r and tender care
VERSE 2 All praise to Him whose love is seen
In Christ the Son, the Servant King
Who left behind His glorious throne
To pay the ransom for His own
All praise to Him Who humbly came
To bear our sorrow, sin, and shame
Who lived to die, Who died to rise
The all-sufficient sacrifice
VERSE 3 All praise to Him whose pow’r imparts
The love of God within our hearts
The Spirit of all truth and peace
The fount of joy and holiness
To Father, Son, and Spirit now
Our souls we lift, our wills we bow
To You, the triune God, we raise
With loving hearts our song of praise

Our God Saves
Song by Paul Baloche ‧ 200
In the name of the Father
In the name of the Son
In the name of the Spirit
Lord we come
We're gathered together
To lift up Your name
To call on our Savior
To fall on Your grace
Hear the joyful sound
Of our offering
As Your saints bow down
As Your people sing
We will rise with You
Lifted on Your wings
And the world will see that
Our God saves
Our God saves
There is hope
In Your name
Mourning turns
To songs of praise
Our God saves
Our God saves
