Who You Say I Am
Medley
CHORUS
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God
Yes I am
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
Over me he rejoices with singing
Over me he gets happy and glad
For I am one of His children Children
& He takes pleasure in me
Over Me
Revelation 19
If any man be in Christ
Reprise Only
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

They that wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength
They shall mount up on wings like an eagle and soar
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and never faint
They that wait on the Lord And I say wait on the Lord
Hold on a little while longer Here's what you got to do
Trust and believe my friend

One thing you must remember
My God is able and

If He dresses the lilies
With beauty and splendor
How much more will He clothe you
How much more will He clothe you
If He watches over
Every sparrow
How much more does He love you
How much more does He love you
It's more than you ask, think or imagine (Yeah)
According to His power working in us
It's more than enough
Jireh, You are enough
Jireh, You are enough
And I will be content
In every circumstance
Jireh You are еnough
