    [Verse 1]
    It wasn’t for nothing that You shed Your blood

    Reckless Love

    [Verse 1]
    Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
    You have been so, so good to me
    Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
    You have been so, so kind to me

    [Chorus]
    O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
    O, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
    I couldn’t earn it, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
    O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah

    [Verse 2]
    When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
    You have been so, so good to me
    When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
    You have been so, so kind to me

    [Chorus]
    O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
    O, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
    I couldn’t earn it, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
    O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah

    [Bridge]
    There’s no shadow You won’t light up
    Mountain You won’t climb up
    Coming after me
    There’s no wall You won’t kick down
    Lie You won’t tear down
    Coming after me

    [Chorus]
    O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
    O, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
    And I couldn’t earn it, I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
    O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah

    Rattle!

    [Verse 1]
    Saturday was silent
    Surely it was through
    But since when has impossible
    Ever stopped You

    [Verse 2]
    Friday’s disappointment
    Is Sunday’s empty tomb
    Since when has impossible
    Ever stopped You

    [Chorus]
    This is the sound
    Of dry bones rattling
    This is the praise
    Make a dead man walk again
    Open the grave
    I’m coming out
    I’m gonna live
    Gonna live again
    This is the sound
    Of dry bones rattling

    [Verse 3]
    Pentecostal fire
    Stirring something new
    You’re not gonna run out of miracles
    Anytime soon

    [Verse 4]
    Resurrection power
    Runs in my veins too
    I believe there’s another miracle
    Here in this room!

    [Chorus]
    This is the sound
    Of dry bones rattling
    This is the praise
    Make a dead man walk again
    Open the grave
    I’m coming out
    I’m gonna live
    Gonna live again
    This is the sound
    Of dry bones rattling

    [Bridge 1]
    My God is able to save
    And deliver and heal
    And restore anything that He wants to
    Just ask the man
    Who was thrown
    On the bones of Elisha
    If there’s anything that He can’t do
    Just ask the stone
    That was rolled
    At the tomb in the garden
    What happens when God says to move
    I feel Him moving it now
    I feel Him doing it now
    I feel Him doing it now
    Do it now, do it now

    [Chorus]
    This is the sound
    Of dry bones rattling
    This is the praise
    Make a dead man walk again
    Open the grave
    I’m coming out
    I’m gonna live
    Gonna live again
    Open the grave
    I’m coming out
    I’m gonna live
    Gonna live again
    Open the grave
    I’m coming out
    I’m gonna live
    Gonna live again
    This is the sound
    Of dry bones rattling

    [Refrain 1]
    I hear the sound
    I hear the sound
    I hear the sound
    I hear the sound

    [Refrain 2]
    Live, Live,
    Live, Live
    Dry bones hear the word Lord

    Sermon Scriptures

    Genesis 12:1-4 (AMPC)
    1Now [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.
    2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].
    3 And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and [a]curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].
    4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had directed him…

    Hebrews 11:8-10 (AMPC)
    8 [Urged on] by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go.
    9 [Prompted] by faith he dwelt as a temporary resident in the land which was designated in the promise [of God, though he was like a stranger] in a strange country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs with him of the same promise.
    10 For he was [waiting expectantly and confidently] looking forward to the city which has fixed and firm foundations, whose Architect and Builder is God.

    Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMPC)
    5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
    6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
