V6

[Intro] [Verse 1]
What one word would you offer
To describe who God is to you?
And when you look into his Word
Do you believe His word is true? [Verse 2]
What one word would you offer to describe Jesus, the Son
There may be thousands you could choose
But what if you had to choose one? [Chorus]
Love could be your answer
Because he loved us first
He called us to Him gently
When we were at our worst. [Verse 3] The works of the Spirit are many
He helps those in whom He resides
He glorifies our Lord Jesus:
Comforts, illuminates, guides [Bridge]
Bring praises to the Father
Be thankful for the Son
Receive the Holy Spirit
We believe the three-in-one 
[verse 4]
The Word says man is sinful,
Infected by Adam’s curse
All are in need of a Savior
A Savior who can evil reverse.
 [Verse 5]
Jesus is our salvation
For us, he died on a tree
But, his glorious ascension
From the curse of sin, set us free [Verse 6]
Communion and Baptism remind us
Of two things That Jesus said, “Do.”
When you partake, think about him
Like him, be baptized in truth [Verse 7]
The church is not ours, but the Masters’
It’s a place where believers can share
Fellowship, faith, and worship
Then go forth eager to share [Verse 8]
Someday the Lord is returning
That is our blessed hope
It leads us to seek godly living
To struggle, to share, and to cope [Verse 9]
We believe in our resurrection
That Jesus is the only way
The only way to salvation
As we learn to trust and obey 
 [Outro]
These are the core tenets of faith
On which Christians agree
With everything else, be guided by love
tempered with charity. With everything else be guided by love
tempered with charity.
