love like flowers

Last week I was so blessed to be at Sanctuary.

It's a time of worship for college students in the Nashville area every Thursday night. It's a two hour trip for us so we won't be able to go every week but I think we're aiming to go once a month or so. My little sister is goes to Lipscomb so she gets to go all the time but I'm so glad I get to see her when I'm there!

I loved worshipping with that group. Such a passionate group of college students. I was really so blessed and encouraged to be there. I think it's just what I needed. The description on there page says this:

Sanctuary is all about bringing passionate worship to the Father above. Sanctuary exists to lead college students as well as the greater community of Nashville in worship. Our purpose for each night is to unite in God and his Spirit by worshiping Him with all that we have so that we may become alive and active as His Church. There is no speaker, just praise for one hour. Come open your heart to God and join us in praise to the Father, Son, and Spirit with our song and our lives.

I wanted to share some songs from last week.

Listen to Psalm 13 by Nate Hale here

Stronger - Hillsong

Verse 1:
There is Love
That came for us
Humbled to a sinner’s cross
You broke my shame and sinfulness
You rose again victorious

Verse 2:
Faithfulness none can deny
Through the storm
And through the fire
There is truth that sets me free
Jesus Christ who lives in me

Chorus:
You are stronger
You are stronger
Sin is broken
You have saved me
It is written
Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all

Verse 3:
No beginning and no end
You’re my hope and my defence
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross

Bridge:
So let Your Name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher
Be lifted higher

By Our Love - Christy Nockels

Brothers, let us come together
Walking in the Spirit, there's much to be done...
We will come reaching, out from our comforts
And they will know us by our love...

Sisters, we were made for kindness
We can pierce the darkness as He shines through us...
We will come reaching, with a song of healing...
And they will know us by our love!

The time is now
Come Church arise...
Love with His hands
See with His eyes...
Bind it around you,
Let it never leave you,
And they will know us by our love...
Children, You are hope for justice,
Stand firm in the Truth now, set your hearts above
You will be reaching, long after we’re gone,
And they will know you by your love! 

I wish I could be there again tonight. It's been encouraging to read these lyrics again today, I hope you were also encouraged and blessed by them!
