Sunday Praise

Almighty God, our Father, in Jesus' name we come to you in an attitude of praise and thanksgiving.

We come to give ourselves anew to you.

We invite you to take us and use us according to your will.

We offer ourselves as slaves, willing to serve our master without reservations.

Give us the strength to take our stand for you in obedience to your leadership.

Help us to find our strength in you and in no other.

Let us know that this world is but a temporary dwelling place for us, that we will soon be in our eternal home with you.

The turmoil of this world will give way to the everlasting song of victory as we overcome through faith in the Lord, Jesus, Christ.

1. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner, it must not suffer loss.
From victory unto victory his army shall he lead,
till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the trumpet call obey;
forth to the mighty conflict, in this his glorious day.
Ye that are brave now serve him against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose.

3. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor, each piece put on with prayer;
where duty calls or danger, be never wanting there.

4. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the strife will not be long;
this day the noise of battle, the next the victor's song.
To him who overcometh a crown of life shall be;
they with the King of Glory shall reign eternally.
