Happy Reformation Day!

Ephesians 2

1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Soli Deo Gloria (Listen here)

We resolve to know
Nothing else but Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, and Him crucified
We resolve to know
Nothing else but Jesus Christ
The Lamb of God, and our sacrifice
To come to God by grace alone
Through faith alone in His blood, spilled for us

Singing soli Deo gloria
To God alone be glory
To God alone be glory
Singing soli Deo gloria
To God alone be glory
To God alone be glory
In Jesus Christ

We resolve to live
For nothing else but Jesus Christ
To know the One who is our life
We resolve to live
By nothing but Your Word alone
Your strength alone, for Your will alone
To make our goal to please You alone
Worship You alone, our God
And our King
