    Who the Son sets free
    Oh is free indeed

    In my Father’s house
    There’s a place for me
    I’m a child of God
    Yes I am

     

     

    I am chosen
    Not forsaken
    I am who You say I am
    You are for me
    Not against me
    I am who You say I am

    More Abundantly

    I've come that you might have life more abundantly
    I've come that you might have life through eternity
    I did not come to condemn the world
    Nor shame you for your wrong
    But I've come to mend your broken heart
    And to give your heart a song

    I've come to give you life
    I've come to give you joy
    I've come to give you life
    More abundantly, more abundantly

    When the saints

    When the saints go to worship
    That's when deliverance will take place
    When the saints go up in praise
    All satan's powers are erased


    Every trap, the enemy set
    Can't work, won't work


    When the king {who is strong and mighty}
    Oh, the King {who is mighty in battle}
    Yea, the King of Glory shall come in

     

    {We welcome You in} You are welcome
    {We welcome You in} You are welcome


    {You're the King and You're invited to come in}
    {To this sanctuary} this sanctuary, {this tabernacle} this tabernacle


    {You're the King and You're invited to come in}
    You're the King and You're invited to come in
    You're the King and You're invited to come in
