Worship Lyrics
Battle Belongs
When all I see is the battle, You see my victory
When all I see is the mountain, You see a mountain moved
And as I walk through the shadow, Your love surrounds me
There’s nothing to fear now for I am safe with You
So when I fight, I will fight on my knees with my hands lifted high
O God, the battle belongs to You
And every fear I lay at Your feet, I’ll sing through the night
O God, the battle belongs to You
And if You are for me who can be against me
For Jesus, there’s nothing impossible for You
When all I see are the ashes, You see the beauty
When all I see is a cross, God, You see the empty tomb
So when I fight, I will fight on my knees with my hands lifted high
O God, the battle belongs to You
and every fear I lay at Your feet, I’ll sing through the night
O God, the battle belongs to You
An Almighty Fortress, You go before us
Nothing can stand against the power of our God
You shine in the shadows, You win every battle
Nothing can stand against the power of our God
(x3)
So when I fight, I will fight on my knees with my hands lifted high
O God, the battle belongs to You
and every fear I lay at Your feet, I’ll sing through the night
O God, the battle belongs to You
O God, the battle belongs to You
Gone
It wasn’t for nothing that You shed Your blood
So I’m gonna live like my shame is gone
Won’t be shackled to the way I was
I’m gonna live like my chains are
Gone, gone
Now my sin is dead & gone
And I sing hallelujah
Done, done
He is risen it is done
And I sing hallelujah
Praise is a weapon that will overcome
So I’m gonna sing like the battle’s won
So fall back devil ’cause your time is up
I’m gonna live like the stone is
Gone, gone
Now my sin is dead & gone
And I sing hallelujah
Done, done
He is risen it is done
And I sing hallelujah
How great the power of the blood
Oh oh
I am the righteousness of God
Oh oh
(x2)
Gone, gone
Now my sin is dead & gone
And I sing hallelujah
Done, done
He is risen it is done
And I sing hallelujah
Great Are You Lord

You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken
(x2)
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise, we pour out our praise
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
You give life, You are love

You Deserve It All
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
(x2)
Found in Your name, the power to save
With only a whisper mountains shake
Jesus our hope & strength
You made a way, You unlocked these chains
Here in Your presence strongholds break
Freed by the love You gave
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
There on a tree merciful King
Broken & shamed for all to see
The Father laid down His Son
From Darkness to light, death lost to light
Heaven & earth will join & sing
Jesus has overcome
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
(x2)
With every breath that’s in my lungs
My heart cries out to You belongs the glory
Through every loss or victory
My soul will rise to only bring You glory
(x2)
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
(x2)
With every breath that’s in my lungs
My heart cries out to You belongs the glory
Through every loss or victory
My soul will rise to only bring You glory
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
We give You the highest praise
You deserve it all, You deserve it all
Message Scripture
While Paul and Barnabas were at Antioch of Syria, some men from Judea arrived and began to teach the believers: “Unless you are circumcised as required by the law of Moses, you cannot be saved.” Paul and Barnabas disagreed with them, arguing vehemently. Finally, the church decided to send Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem, accompanied by some local believers, to talk to the apostles and elders about this question.
Acts 15:1–2
At the meeting, after a long discussion, Peter stood and addressed them as follows: “Brothers, you all know that God chose me from among you some time ago to preach to the Gentiles so that they could hear the Good News and believe. God knows people’s hearts, and he confirmed that he accepts Gentiles by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us. He made no distinction between us and them, for he cleansed their hearts through faith.
Acts 15:7–9
So why are you now challenging God by burdening the Gentile believers with a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors were able to bear? We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 15:10-11
When they had finished, James stood and said, “Brothers, listen to me. Peter has told you about the time God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people for himself…And so my judgment is that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
Ac 15:13–14 & 20
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Matthew 11:28–30
