There’s Nothing That Our God Can’t Do
Verse 1
Just one word
You calm the storm that surrounds me Just one word
The darkness has to retreat
Just one touch
I feel the presence of heaven
Just one touch
My eyes were opened to see
My heart can’t help but believe
Chorus 1
There’s nothing that our God can’t do There’s not a mountain that He can’t move Oh praise the name that makes a way There’s nothing that our God can’t do
Verse 2
Just one word
You heal what’s broken inside me Just one word
And you revive ev’ry dream
Just one touch
I feel the power of heaven
Just one touch
My eyes were opened to see
My heart can’t help but believe
Chorus 2
There’s nothing that our God can’t do There’s not a mountain that He can’t move Oh praise the name that makes a way There’s nothing that our God can’t do
There’s nothing that our God can’t do
There’s not a prison wall He can’t break through Oh praise the name that makes a way
There’s nothing that our God can’t do
Bridge

I will believe for greater things
There’s no power like the power of Jesus Let faith arise let all agree
There’s no power like the power of Jesus
Bridge
I will believe for greater things
There’s no power like the power of Jesus Let faith arise let all agree
There’s no power like His power
Chorus 2
There’s nothing that our God can’t do There’s not a mountain that He can’t move Oh praise the name that makes a way There’s nothing that our God can’t do
There’s nothing that our God can’t do
There’s not a prison wall He can’t break through Oh praise the name that makes a way
There’s nothing that our God can’t do

Good Plans

Verse 1]
The Lord is my shepherd
And He is everything I need
So, I will not worry
I will not fear the enemy
He said that He loves me
He said that He’s with me even though
I walk through the valley
Of shadow and death and still I know

[Chorus]
He has good plans
He has good plans for me
So, I will take heart
In deserts and gardens
He has good plans
He has good plans for me
If I know my Father
I know my Father has
Good plans

[Interlude]
No weapon formed against me will prosper

[Verse 2]
The Lord is my Savior
So why should I doubt my victory?
Why would I question
The rod and the staff that comforts me?
He quiets the waters
He quiets the storm inside of me
So, what could be better
Than walking with Him when I believe?

Good Good Father

VERSE 1
I’ve heard a thousand stories of what they think You’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
You tell me that You’re pleased and that I’m never alone

CHORUS
You’re a good, good father
It’s who You are, it’s who You are, it’s who You are
And I’m loved by you
It’s who I am, it’s who I am, it’s who I am

VERSE 2
I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide
But I know we’re all searching for answers only you provide
‘Cause You know just what we need before we say a word

BRIDGE
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us

VERSE 3
Love so undeniable I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
Into love love love

Message Notes

I lack…

So I strive to…

“But one thing I do: Forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3: 13-14)

Contentment

“I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Phil. 4:11)

Too often our striving represents our .

Psalms 23:1
The Lord is my Shepherd,

• I shall not want. (KJV, ESV)
• I have everything I need. (Good News Translation, The Living Bible)
• I lack nothing. (NIV)
• I have all that I need. (NLT)
• I don’t need a thing. (The Message)

“Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭22‬-‭32‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Moses said to the Lord, “See, you have been saying to me, ‘Bring this people up,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. But you said, ‘I know you by name, and also you have found favor in my sight.’ Now if I have found favor in your sight, show me your way, that I may know you, that I may continue to find favor in your sight. And see that this nation is your people.” And the Lord said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”And Moses said to him, “If your presence does not go with us, do not take us up from here. For how will it be known then that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not by your going with us, so that we will be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are on the face of the earth?””

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭33‬:‭12‬-‭16‬ ‭NET‬‬

The experience of a life without lack first and foremost upon the presence of God in our lives, because the source of this life is God himself.

James McDonald writes: “God’s provision for all that we need is His manifest presence with us. God doesn’t dispense strength, wisdom, or comfort like a druggist fills a prescription; He promises us Himself— His manifest presence with us, as all that we will ever need— as enough! We must be terrified at the thought of a single step without it, without the Lord.”

I lack nothing because I have !

Battle Belongs

[Verse 1]
When all I see is the Battle
You see my Victory
When all I see is the mountain
You see a Mountain moved
And as I walk through the shadow
Your love surrounds me
There’s nothing to fear now
For I am safe with You

[Chorus]
So when I Fight
I’ll fight on my Knees
With my hands lifted high
Oh God the battle belongs to You
And every fear I lay at Your feet
I’ll sing through the night
Oh God the battle belongs to You

[Verse 2]
And if You are for me
Who can be against me
For Jesus there’s nothing
Impossible for You
When all I see are the ashes
You see the Beauty 
When all I see is a Cross
God You see the empty tomb

[Chorus]
So when I Fight
I’ll fight on my Knees
With my hands lifted High
Oh God the battle belongs to You
And every fear I lay at Your feet
I’ll sing through the night
Oh God the battle belongs to You

[Bridge]
Almighty Fortress You go before us
Nothing can stand against
The power of our God
You shine in the shadow
You win every battle
Nothing can stand against
The power of our God

[Chorus]
So when I Fight
I’ll fight on my Knees
With my hands lifted High
Oh God the battle belongs to You
And every fear I lay at Your feet
I’ll sing through the night
Oh God the battle belongs to You

Oh God the battle belongs to You
