Anniversary Hymn
Sung to the tune of Amazing Grace
For ninety years the Grace of God,
Is present in this place.
We feel His love, His strength, and might.
His fortress we embrace.
We thank You God. We give You praise.
We worship You this day.
We ask that You would bless Your home,
As we gather here and pray.
We honor those who built with care,
This shelter in life’s storm.
We bless their souls. Let us rejoice,
The day this church was born.
Come gather one. Come gather all.
Come find the Truth and Light.
God fills us with abundant Grace,
And makes each future bright.
