25 Large
crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them
he said:
anyone comes to me and does not hate father and
mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their
own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. 27 And whoever
does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit
down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to
complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to
finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This
person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
26 “If

the same way, those of you who do not give up everything
you have cannot be my disciples.

HOSANNA (PRAISE IS RISING)
Praise is raising, eyes are turning to You.
We turn to You.
Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You
We long for you.
COME, THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING
Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace.
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it, mount of God’s unchanging love.
'Cause when we see You we find strength
to face the day,
and in Your presence all our fears
are washed away, washed away.
Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by thy help I’m come,
And I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God.
He, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood.
Chorus
Oh, to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love.
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.
Hosanna, Hosanna
You are the God who saves us.
You're worthy of all our praise.
Hosanna, Hosanna
Come have Your way among us.
We welcome You here Lord Jesus.
Hear the sound of hearts returning to You.
We turn to You.
In Your kingdom broken lives are made new.
You make all things new.
'Cause when we see You we find strength
to face the day,
and in Your presence all our fears
are washed away, washed away.
ABBA FATHER
Doss, Ingram, Cash
Abba Father You have loved me
With a love like I’ve never known
Abba Father You have saved me
From the depths that I’ll never know
What a great Father You are
What a great Father You are
You have loved with arms wide open
You have held me through it all
You are faithful to the broken
Lord you hear me when I call
Thank you Lord for all that You’ve done
Thank you Lord for giving Your son
When I was lost You came after me
When I deserved such great penalty
