PRAYER OF LETTING GO
To You do I belong, O God,
 into Your hands I surrender my life.
 Pour out Your Spirit upon me
 that I may love You perfectly,
 and serve You faithfully
 until my soul rests in You.

VERSE 1: 
I stand upon the solid rock 
Of faith in Christ 
This steadfast hope shall not 
Break apart within the trial 
I am assured 
His promises will never fail 
As long as life remains 
He is faithful 

CHORUS: 
God is patient 
God is kind 
He does not envy 
He does not boast 
His ways are higher than my own 
His thoughts consume the great unknown 
Of this alone I am sure 
My God is love 

VERSE 2: 
I draw my breath under His 
Created windswept sky 
I know my hope shall last 
Long after my flesh retires 
From dusk until the dawn 
He calls His children home 
His righteous love outlasts generations 

BRIDGE: 
He is Almighty God 
Elohim 
Maker of the earth 
He is the Lord of hosts 
Heaven’s King 
God of endless worth 
His kingdom stands above 
Every power 
Every living soul 
His love is like the sun 
Ever true 
Shining over all

JOHN 20: 19-23
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
