Identity Gathering

 Welcome -

We are so excited you’ve decided to join us tonight for our Identity Gathering!

We’ll be kicking off CCW’s Tenth Anniversary Month with a message about identity in the context of our key verse: Isaiah 61:4

 Please Join Us In This Call to Worship:

L: The LORD God’s spirit is upon us to bring good news to the poor,

C: for they will rebuild the ancient ruins.

L: To bind up the brokenhearted and proclaim liberation for prisoners,

C: for they will renew formerly deserted places

L: To comfort all who mourn and give beauty instead of ashes, joy in place of mourning, praise that covers discouragement.

C: For they will restore ruined cities, places deserted for many generations.

A: We will be called Oaks of Righteousness, planted by the LORD to glorify himself. This is the year of the LORD’s favor and we are the Lord’s anointed.

 Who You Say I Am

Who am I that the highest King would welcome me?
I was lost, but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Oh His love for me

Who the Son sets free
Oh, is free indeed
I'm a child of God, yes, I am

Free at last, He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin, Jesus died for me
Yes, He died for me

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

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
I am who You say I am

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

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

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

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
Oh I am who You say I am
Yes, I am who you say I am

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

 Our Scripture Tonight Is Isaiah 61:4

They will rebuild the ancient ruins;
they will restore formerly deserted places;
they will renew ruined cities,
places deserted in generations past.

L: The Word of God for the People of God.

A: Thanks be to God.

 Old For New

What was torn, You mend again
You redesign the tattered thread by thread
You take the broken and destroyed
And You rebuild, You make whole

Joy begin to rise and hope begin to light the dark
Our God exchanges old for new, yes
Dawn has conquered light and death has lost to life
And now we are exchanging old for new, oh

You turn our flame into fire
In You we walk in the impossible
We take Your love into the world
We let our light shine, we let it burn, oh

There's nothing that Your love won't do
There's not a mountain faith can't move
There's power in the blood, the power of the cross, oh

There's nothing that Your love won't do
There's not a mountain faith can't move
There's power in the blood, the power of the cross, oh

There's nothing that Your love won't do
There's not a mountain faith can't move
There's power in the blood, the power of the cross, oh

There's nothing that Your love won't do
There's not a mountain faith can't move
There's power in the blood, the power of the cross, oh

 A Word on Identity and Isaiah 61:4

You Say 

I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up

Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know
Ooh-oh

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe

The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity
Ooh-oh

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
When I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
Oh, I believe

Taking all I have, and now I'm laying it at Your feet
You have every failure, God, You have every victory
Ooh-oh

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe

Oh, I believe (I)
Yes, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
