"My Savior Lives"This is a new song by Jon Egan & Glenn Packiam of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Co. When asked about writing songs for the church in an interview Jon shared the following.
Those songs were written out of innocence just to equip our own church. I think that probably is the reason for the success. The heart of these songs, the heart of us as worshippers or worship leaders, has always been to help our people in our spheres of influence. The fact that it's equipped the Church beyond our church is overwhelming, wonderful, and humbling. Jared: We weren't really following anyone into it; we were just excited about what God was doing. We started to try our own songs at times other than Sunday morning. We just put it out there to see if it would live. It began that way, and it crept into the culture of Sunday morning.

"You are Holy"
The worship choir will share this song from the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir:
Lord our eyes are weak and we’re blinded
To the truth of who we are every time we look, we’re reminded
of the things that stains our hearts
For you are Holy, holy, holy are you Lord
Lord You are worthy, worthy, worthy are you Lord
Lord your mercy comes like the morning and your light dispels my dark
Lord I won’t give up your love that restores me and am humbled by your heart
For you reign majesty and we’re all on bended knees to praise you
All of our days, may the stories of our lives be worship in your eyes
Let our hearts shout of your glory

"You're Worthy of My Praise"
This song was written by David Ruis. David is a well-respected worship leader, songwriter and speaker. Together with his wife Anita, he is also known as a church planter and pastor having established churches in Canada and the US within the Association of Vineyard Churches. David has also been instrumental in seeing Christian communities developed in Nepal and India within the Vineyard movement. Much of his focus tends to be in indigenous settings working amongst the poor, as well as facilitating leadership development and the fostering of originality in song writing and the arts in various cultural settings.David has several worship songs published that are standards in Church worship, most notably "You're Worthy of My Praise" and "Every Move I Make". He recently released his latest CD, “When Justice Shines” through ION Records (ionworship.org). David has also authored two books with Regal Publishing - "The Worship God Is Seeking" and more recently "The Justice God Is Seeking".At this point David is giving significant focus to music and the creative aspects of his calling, which involve music production, writing, and composition. David continues to travel internationally both speaking and leading worship. A burning passion for the Ruis family is the discovery of the practical and theological integration of creative worship expression within community that is engaged in a lifestyle that interfaces with the issues of poverty and social injustice.David, his wife Anita and their four children currently reside in the Los Angeles area.

“Spirit of the Living God”
Daniel Iverson (Born: Brunswick, Georgia, USA September 26 1890; Died: Asheville, N.Carolina, USA January 3 1977
Daniel Iverson was educated at the University of Georgia, the Moody Bible Institute Chicago, Columbia Theological Seminary Decatur Ga., and the University of South Carolina. He was ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1914, and served churches in Georgia and in South and North Carolina. He organized the Shenandoah Presbyterian Church in Miami, Florida, in 1927; and ministered there until retiring in 1951. In the spring of 1926 Daniel Iverson, a Presbyterian pastor from Lumberton, North Carolina, visited a friend who was conducting a revival in Orlando, Florida. One evening Iverson was extremely moved by the sermon he had heard on the Holy Spirit, and he wrote a hymn that Christians have been singing ever since. Iverson died in Montreat in 1977, but we are still singing his hymn. Spirit of the living God,
Spirit of the Living God fall fresh on me;Spirit of the living God,fall fresh on me.Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.Spirit of the living God,fall fresh on me.

"Glory Come Down"
Jason Upton is a unique worship leader. His worship is raw, unconventional and truly an experience with God. He wants to lead people to Jesus and not religion. A central theme to Jason's testimony is the revelation of the spirit of adoption.
Jason says when you don't know your blood line it changes everything – how you look at relationships, lines of family, racial relationships. He knows this first hand because Jason was put up for adoption after he was born. A few months later, he was adopted by a Christian couple and was brought up in the ways of God.
As an adult, he requested a file from the adoption agency that placed him and received a letter from his birth mother. Jason found out that she prayed that he’d be brought up in a two-parent home, that they would know Jesus and that they would follow the Lord’s leading in the development of his life.
God answered his birth mother’s prayer in a wonderful way, giving Jason a love of the Lord that is expressed in music. In the Kingdom of God, God adopts us as His children. We can't be disowned or disinherited, and we don't look at physical blood lines. We see the relationships as God sees them. We have the connection of being adopted as God's children.
When Jason met his biological family, it didn't change things with his adoptive family. He met his biological mother last year. He found out that she was a Christian and had listened to his music for six years and didn't know Jason was her son. He was able to meet his biological father, who is not a Christian, but is a Cherokee Indian.

“Saved, Saved”
This gospel song is based on the verse in Psalm 116:6 “When I was in great need, He saved me”. Written by Jack Scholfield in 1911 you can hear a recording of the song here www.sermonaudio.com/hymn_details.asp?PID=savedsaved
I’ve found a Friend, who is all to me,
His love is ever true;I love to tell how He lifted me
And what His grace can do for you.
Saved by His power divine,Saved to new life sublime!
Life now is sweet and my joy is complete,For I’m saved, saved, saved!
He saves me from every sin and harm,Secures my soul each day;I
’m leaning strong on His mighty arm;I know He’ll guide me all the way.
When poor and needy and all alone,In love He said to me,
“Come unto Me and I’ll lead you home,To live with Me eternally.”
