Offering Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star While angels sang to lowly shepherds Three wise men seeking truth travelled from afar Hoping to find the Child from Heaven

Falling on their knees they bowed before the humble Prince of Peace

I bring an offering of worship to my King No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing Jesus may You receive the honor that You’re due O Lord I bring an offering to You I bring an offering to You

The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love There is no shadow in Your presence No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne Before the Holy One of Heaven

It’s only by Your blood And it’s only through Your mercy Lord I come

I bring an offering of worship to my King No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing Jesus may You receive the honor that You’re due O Lord I bring an offering to You

I bring an offering of worship to my King No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing Jesus may You receive the honor that You’re due

What A Beautiful Name You were the Word at the beginning One with God the Lord Most High Your hidden glory in creation Now revealed in You our Christ

What a beautiful Name it is The Name of Jesus Christ my King Nothing compares to this The Name of Jesus

You didn't want heaven without us So Jesus You brought heaven down My sin was great Your love was greater What could separate us now

What a wonderful Name it is The Name of Jesus Christ my King Nothing compares to this The Name of Jesus

Death could not hold You The veil tore before You You silence the boast of sin and grave The heavens are roaring The praise of Your glory For You are raised to life again

You have no rival You have no equal Now and forever God You reign Yours is the kingdom Yours is the glory Yours is the Name above all names

What a powerful Name it is The Name of Jesus Christ my King Nothing can stand against The Name of Jesus

What a beautiful Name it is The Name of Jesus Christ my King Nothing compares to this The Name of Jesus CCLI Song # 7068424 Ben Fielding | Brooke Ligertwood © 2016 Hillsong Music Publishing (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing) For use solely with the SongSelect.

Acts 20:17-38 Paul Speaks to the Ephesian Elders 17 Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called the elders of the church to come to him. 18 And when they came to him, he said to them: “You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, 19 serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews; 

20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, 21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. 

24 But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. 26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all, 27 for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.  29 I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears. 

32 And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. 34 You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me. 35 In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

36 And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. 37 And there was much weeping on the part of all; they embraced Paul and kissed him, 38 being sorrowful most of all because of the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they accompanied him to the ship.

Cornerstone My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly trust in Jesus' Name

My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly trust in Jesus' Name

Christ alone cornerstone Weak made strong, In the Saviour's love Through the storm He is Lord Lord of all

When darkness seems, To hide His face I rest on His unchanging grace In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil My anchor holds within the veil!

Christ alone cornerstone Weak made strong, In the Saviour's love Through the storm He is Lord Lord of all He is Lord! Lord of all!

Christ alone cornerstone Weak made strong, In the Saviour's love Through the storm He is Lord Lord of all

When He shall come, with trumpet sound Oh may I then in Him be found Dressed in His righteousness alone Faultless stand before the throne

Christ alone cornerstone Weak made strong, In the Saviour's love Through the storm He is Lord Lord of all CCLI Song # 6158927 Edward Mote | Eric Liljero | Jonas Myrin | Reuben Morgan | William Batchelder Bradbury © 2011 Hillsong Music Publishing (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing) For use solely with the SongSelect Terms of Use.
