O God Our Help In Ages Past
B. Benedict | W. Croft | I. Watts
O God, our Help in ages past
Our Hope for years to come
Our Shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal Home
Under the shadow of Your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Your arm alone
And our defense is sure

You are the God of Adam
You are the God of Abraham
You are the God of Moses
In the wilderness
You are the God of Jacob
You are the God of Israel
You are the God of Joshua
Before the Promised Land
You are the God of David
You are the God of Solomon
You are the God of Jesus
Who holds us in His hands
Who holds us in His hand
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received her frame
From everlasting, Thou art God
To endless years the same
O God, our Help in ages past
Our Hope for years to come
Be Thou our Guide while life shall last
And our eternal Home

Not To Us
J. Reeves | C. Tomlin
The cross before me
The world behind
No turning back
Raise the banner high
It’s not for me; it’s all for you
Let the heavens shake
And split the sky
Let the people clap
Their hands and cry
It’s not for us; it’s all for you
chorus
Not to us
But to your name be the glory
Not to us
But to your name be the glory
Our hearts unfold
Before your throne
The only place
For those who know
It’s not for us, it’s all for you
Send your holy fire
On this offering
Let our worship burn
For the world to see
It’s not for us, it’s all for You
chorus
Not to us
But to your name be the glory
Not to us
But to your name be the glory
The earth is shaking
The mountains shouting
It’s all for you
The waves are crashing
The sun is raging
It’s all for you
The universe
Spinning and singing
It’s all for you
Your children dancing
Dancing, dancing
It’s all for you, it’s all for you
chorus
Not to us
But to your name be the glory
Not to us
But to your name be the glory
(repeat)

Who can make me whole again

Who has set the captives free
Gave His life at Calvary

Oh, it’s Jesus

Awesome Creator

Holds the power to free us
Only Jesus
Oh oh whoa, only Jesus

Now revealed in You our Christ

What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King

O Praise The Name (Anástasis)
B. Hastings | D. Ussher | M. Sampson
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds His hands His feet
My Savior on that cursed tree
His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid Him down in Joseph’s tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone
chorus
O praise the Name
Of the Lord our God
O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days
We will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God
Then on the third at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death where is your sting
The angels roar for Christ the King
chorus
O praise the Name
Of the Lord our God
O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days
We will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God
He shall return in robes of white
The blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face
chorus
O praise the Name
Of the Lord our God
O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days
We will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God
(repeat)
Benediction
Rev. John Sittema
Reflection & Application
- Discuss examples of power exercised in the name of someone else. What do you think is meant by Luke 10:17 in this regard?
- In Acts 3:16, Peter explains further what is meant by how the power of the name of Jesus is exercised. What do you think he means?
- In this passage, Peter does not only refer to “healing” in a physical sense. He speaks of “times of refreshment”. He speaks of the time of the “restoring of all things”. And crucially, he makes clear that such redemptive healing happens on the other side of repenting. Reflect on/talk about all of this.
