“Mighty to Save” By Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan

Everyone needs compassion, a love that’s never failing; let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a Savior; the hope of nations.

Chorus: Savior. He can move the mountains. My God is mighty to save.

He is mighty to save. Forever. Author of salvation.

He rose and conquered the grave. Jesus conquered the grave.

Verse 2: So take me as You find me, all my fears and failures; fill my life again.

I give my life to follow, everything I believe in; now I surrender. Chorus.

Bridge: Shine Your light and let the whole world see:

We’re singing, for the glory of the risen King. Jesus.

bring in a picture or photograph of a veteran, living or deceased that you would like to

remember or honor this day. We would also invite you to bring in the same for those

that are currently serving so that we can honor and pray for them as well. There will be
