You Are My All In All V. 1 You are my strength when I am weak, you are the treasure that I seek; You are my all in all. Seeking You as a precious jewel, Lord, to give up, I’d be a fool; You are my all in all. Chorus – Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your name! Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your Name. V. 2 – Taking my sin, my cross, my shame, Rising again I bless Your Name; You are my all in all. When I fall down, You pick me up; When I am dry, You fill my cup; You are my all in all.

Check the table in the foyer for your copy of the July-August, 2008 Upper Room, the June-July Rush Chapel Chimes, and the most recent Shannon Spark. Every Christian needs to be affiliated with a local body of believers because God imparts His grace through regular interaction with brothers and sisters in Christ. We believe God is leading a number of people in our church family to become official members of Rush Chapel United Methodist Church. Please do not hesitate to talk with Pastor Larry about a first time commitment to Christ or about the transfer of your membership to Rush Chapel United Methodist Church. If God is leading you, please come forward as we sing the Hymn of Commitment. May God bless and be with you. |
