Today’s worship is inspired by John 16:33: “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
This is How We Overcome by Hillsong Worship
Your light broke through my night/Restored exceeding joy/Your grace fell like the rain/And made this desert live
You have turned my mourning into dancing/You have turned my sorrow into joy
Your hand lifted me up/I stand on higher ground/Your praise rose in my heart/And made this valley sing
You have turned my mourning into dancing/You have turned my sorrow into joy/You have turned my mourning into dancing/You have turned my sorrow into joy
This is how we overcome/This is how we overcome/This is how we overcome/This is how we overcome [repeat]
You have turned my mourning into dancing/You have turned my sorrow into joy/You have turned my mourning into dancing/You have turned my sorrow into joy
Trading My Sorrows written by Darrell Evans
I’m trading my sorrows/I’m trading my shame/I’m laying them down/For the joy of the Lord
I’m trading my sickness/I’m trading my pain/I’m laying them down/For the joy of the Lord
We say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord/Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord/Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord/Amen
I am pressed but not crushed/Persecuted, not abandoned/Struck down, but not destroyed/I am blessed beyond the curse/For His promise will endure/That His joy’s gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night/His joy comes with the morning
I’m trading my sorrows/I’m trading my shame/I’m laying them down/For the joy of the Lord
I’m trading my sickness/I’m trading my pain/I’m laying them down/For the joy of the Lord
We say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord/Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord/Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord/Amen [repeat]
I am pressed but not crushed/Persecuted, not abandoned/Struck down, but not destroyed/I am blessed beyond the curse/For His promise will endure/That His joy’s gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night/His joy comes with the morning
I’m trading my sorrows/I’m trading my shame/I’m laying them down/For the joy of the Lord
I’m trading my sickness/I’m trading my pain/I’m laying them down/For the joy of the Lord
Desert Song by Hillsong UNITED
This is my prayer in the desert/When all that’s within me feels dry/This is my prayer in my hunger and need/My God is the God who provides
And this is my prayer in the fire/In weakness or trial or pain/There is a faith proved/Of more worth than gold/So refine me Lord through the flames
And I will bring praise/I will bring praise/No weapon formed against me shall remain/I will rejoice/I will declare/God is my victory and He is here
And this is my prayer in the battle/When triumph is still on its way/I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ/So firm on His promise I’ll stand
I will bring praise/I will bring praise/No weapon formed against me shall remain/I will rejoice/I will declare/God is my victory and He is here
All of my life/In every season/You are still God/I have a reason to sing/I have a reason to worship [repeat]
And I will bring praise/I will bring praise/No weapon formed against me shall remain/I will rejoice/I will declare/God is my victory and He is here
This is my prayer in the harvest/When favor and providence flow/I know I’m filled to be emptied again/The seed I’ve received I will sow
For the Lamb by Elevation Worship
On a shameful day He died/In the sorrow of defeat/But forgiveness was His cry/As His blood ran down for me
How the Father’s heart was torn/As His only son was slain/But the earth would soon rejoice/From the place where hope was lain
For the Lamb has overcome/Everlasting love has won/In eternal praise we will lift Him up/For the Lamb has overcome the world
By His spirit we are raised/To the fullness of new life/In a moment we’ll be changed/And forever glorified
For the Lamb has overcome/Everlasting love has won/In eternal praise we will lift Him up/For the Lamb has overcome the world
Most high and lifted up/Be glorified forever/Jesus has overcome/Declare it now together [repeat]
For the Lamb has overcome/Everlasting love has won/In eternal praise we will lift Him up/For the Lamb has overcome the world [repeat]
Most high and lifted up/Be glorified forever/Jesus has overcome/Declare it now together [repeat]
