To all the saints in Jesus Christ who sojourn now in Philippi
Grace to you, Grace to you
The peace from God our Father by the peace from our Lord Jesus Christ
Come to you, Come to you
I will thank my God in my remembrance of you
Offering my prayers and rejoicing now in view
Of your fellowship with Jesus in the Gospel now you strive
In holiness and righteousness to tell the world of Christ
Grace to you (Grace to you) Grace to you (Grace to you)
Grace to you (Grace to you) Grace to you (Grace to you)

If we are partakers of the grace of God in Christ
Confirming and defending this, the Gospel with our lives
We can trust in confidence that God has testified
He will sanctify us until we are glorified
We have confidence that when He begins
His good work within all of His children
That He will complete each one perfectly
Until Christ the King reigns eternally
Father, help our love reflect the love of Jesus Christ
Strengthen our discernment to determine what is right
Keep us single-minded with integrity in truth
Help us walk in righteousness until we come to You
We have confidence that when He begins
His good work within all of His children
That He will complete each one perfectly
Until Christ the King reigns eternally
For Your glory For Your Praise By Your love By Your grace
Through the blood of Jesus Christ Make us holy, sanctified
We have confidence that when He begins
His good work within all of His children
That He will complete each one perfectly
Until Christ the King reigns eternally

We Rejoice (1:12-20)

If we suffer persecution, if we face imprisonment
If the arrogant despise us, we will stand in confidence
For the Lord will not forsake us and His Gospel will advance
Both in hardship and affluence we will strive with diligence
Father give us courage. Father keep us pure
In Jesus Christ our confidence is sure.
We rejoice! We rejoice! Our deliverance is sure
We rejoice! We rejoice! For the coming of our Lord
Though the wolves from strife and envy use the Gospel for their gain
Mesmerized by earthly treasure, deaf to what their lips proclaim
Though the kings of earth may gather to contend against our Lord
Christ, our sovereign God, derides them as His perfect will goes forth
We rejoice! We rejoice! Our deliverance is sure
We rejoice! We rejoice! For the coming of our Lord
We rejoice though man may kill us We rejoice though Satan schemes
We rejoice in trial and weakness We rejoice in suffering
For our God is good and sovereign And His will is fixed and firm
No authority can stop Him Every word has been confirmed
We rejoice! We rejoice! Our deliverance is sure
We rejoice! We rejoice! For the coming of our Lord
We rejoice! We rejoice! We confirm our hope in Christ
Be exalted if we live or if we die We rejoice!

For me to live is Christ to die is gain
For Jesus knows my pain and suffering
If I am blessed to die
I’ll be at home with Christ
For me to live is Christ to die is gain
Many things are given me to cherish in this life
I am counting each and everything a loss compared to Christ
To know and serve the Lord
There’s nothing I want more
I’ll lose it all that I might follow Christ
For me to live is Christ to die is gain
For Jesus knows my pain and suffering
If I am blessed to die
I’ll be at home with Christ
For me to live is Christ to die is gain
My home is now heaven so I eagerly await
For Christ to come and change me from this wretched humble state
Then I’ll be glorified
Together with my Christ
I pray you come and rescue me today
For me to live is Christ to die is gain
For Jesus knows my pain and suffering
If I am blessed to die
I’ll be at home with Christ
For me to live is Christ to die is gain

If I were to live another day of life on earth
I know He would use it for all that it would be worth
But if I were to pass away and sooner leave this place
Beloved, how much better, to awake and see His face
Everything within me longs to leave and be with Christ
That is far, far better than remaining in this life
But I know its essential to continue for your sake
For your growth and consummation and your joy in the faith
I will come to you my love, that your prayers may be fulfilled
I will come to you my love, if it is the Father’s will
I will come to you my love, for to me to live is Christ
And if I am to carry on in life I will come to you
So be sure to live life worthy of the Gospel of our King
Standing firm in mind and spirit for the faith in unity
For to you it has been granted to believe in Jesus Christ
And to suffer for His Gospel and endure until you die
Do not be alarmed by anything that you may face
Your abiding courage is a sign that you are saved
Do not fear, Beloved, for our Bridegroom loves His bride
And soon He will consume our adversaries with His fire

Since we have one mind and one spirit The church must preserve unity
The love and compassion and Spirit of God compels us to humility
The church must be heavenly-minded United in love by His grace
Woven together in spirit and truth, determined in purpose by faith
Do nothing from selfish ambition Do nothing from empty conceit
With selfless regard and in pureness of heart, love others in humility
Count others as greater in measure Be gentle and humble in heart
Consider yourselves as the slaves of all men, willingly imitate God
This is the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ Selfless, Humble, and Kind
Though He encompassed the essence of God Fully, forever divine
He never asserted His likeness with God But emptied Himself for a time
Assuming the form of a slave and a man To willingly suffer and die
Submitting Himself to His Father Forsaken, despised, and ashamed
Now glorified at the Father’s right side, Exalted above every name
All authority, power, and glory are bestowed on our Lord Jesus Christ
To the glory of God, and the glory of Christ, for God is the most glorified
This is the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ Selfless, Humble, and Kind
Though He encompassed the essence of God Fully, forever divine
He never asserted His likeness with God But emptied Himself for a time
Assuming the form of a slave and a man To willingly suffer and die
Every knee will bow Every tongue proclaim
That Jesus Christ is Lord and God the everlasting King (King over everything)
This is the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ Selfless, Humble, and Kind
Though He encompassed the essence of God Fully, forever divine
He never asserted His likeness with God But emptied Himself for a time
Assuming the form of a slave and a man To willingly suffer and die

Do everything without grumbling without arguing
And prove yourselves the children of the Lord
Do everything with all thankfulness with all faithfulness
Be holy, blameless, innocent, and pure
For the Lord is working in us to do His perfect will
His Spirit will perfect us, His work will be fulfilled
We will work out our salvation with fear and trembling
We will run in perseverance and rejoice in suffering
We will put away the old self and put on Jesus Christ
Filled with His Holy Spirit, doing what is right
Do everything with all purity with all unity
For we appear as lights in this dark world
Do everything with obedience in all truthfulness
Holding fast the living holy word
We will sing all glorious on the day that Christ returns
We will reign victorious through this suffering endured
For now we the church rejoice, oh we live and die for Christ
For now we all share His joy so we surrender our lives

We must be examples for the saints to emulate
Walking in submission, and obedient in faith
We must live courageous, loyal, faithful, holy lives
Imitating Paul as he is imitating Christ
We must all abandon our ambition for prestige
Serving one another in concern for others needs
Surrendering our freedom now to suffer in this life
Imitating Timothy who imitated Christ
We must show compassion for our brethren in the church
Diligent submissiveness exhibits proven worth
Surrendering our safety for the church we risk our lives
Like Epaphorditus who was imitating Christ
Rejoice, share the joy As we suffer for the Lord
Rejoice, share the joy As we suffer for the Lord
As those who walk before us, showing selfless sacrifice
Whose hearts were fixed on heaven, who possessed eternal life
We must die in service here denying selfish pride
Following the footsteps of the ones who follow Christ

I'm Pressing On (3.7-21)
02:47

Whatever things were gain to me I count them all as loss
Compared to knowing Jesus Christ my accolades are dross
Confessing my dependence and desire to know Him more
In holiness and righteousness I strive to be conformed
I am not yet perfect, but I am pressing on
Forgetting all that lies behind and running toward the goal
I’m pressing on towards the goal for the prize
Of the upward call of God in Jesus Christ
Let everyone who is mature and holy think this way
In faith we must keep living by the standard we’ve attained
We’re citizens of heaven we are chosen and redeemed
We await our transformation at the coming of our King
I am not yet perfect, but I am pressing on
Forgetting all that lies behind and running toward the goal
I’m pressing on, I’m pressing on, I’m pressing on, I’m pressing on
(Conform me to the image of Your Son)
I’m pressing on, I’m pressing on, I’m pressing on, I’m pressing on
(Conform me to the image of Your Son)

Beware of evil workers, beware of filthy dogs
Beware of false believers who take the name of God
But walk in sinful darkness as enemies of Christ
Their end will be destruction, their god, their appetite
Follow the example of the ones who follow Christ
Striving in obedience to imitate His life
Conform us to your image, through the power of your Word
By the power of Your Spirit, and the Power of your church
May our only true devotion be to live and die for Christ
To abandon all our idolatry and forsake our very lives
Discern the opposition whose glory is their shame
Who set their mind on earthly lusts for temporary gain
Disguised as righteous leaders, they subtlety deceive
Misleading pure devotion through destructive heresy
We are citizens of heaven and we eagerly await
For our Lord and Savior Jesus to transform our humble state
To conform us with His glory by the power given Him
Our Creator, Shepherd, Master, King, Messiah, God, and Friend

Rejoice in the Lord, Oh forever rejoice
Rejoice Oh forever rejoice
Rejoice in Christ Jesus, forever rejoice
Rejoice Oh forever rejoice
Beloved, my brethren, whom I long to see
my joy, and my love, my reward
Stand firm in Christ Jesus, live in harmony,
together as one in the Lord
Indeed true companions be quick to make peace
when quarrels arise in the church
Be gentle and patient in humility,
the Lord leads and guides as He works
Rejoice in the Lord, Oh forever rejoice
Rejoice Oh forever rejoice
Rejoice in Christ Jesus, forever rejoice
Rejoice Oh forever rejoice
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything
by prayer thank the Lord in the fight
The peace of the Lord that transcends all belief
will keep your heart settled in Christ
Rejoice in the Lord, Oh forever rejoice
Rejoice Oh forever rejoice
Rejoice in Christ Jesus, forever rejoice
Rejoice Oh forever rejoice
Whatever is true, whatever is right,
whatever is written in God’s Word of life
Whatever is pure, whatever is true,
whatever is lovely and of good repute
Whatever is noble, whatever brings peace,
whatever is excellent, dwell upon these
This you have learned, seen and heard and received
Now practice these things with the God of all peace
Rejoice in the Lord, Oh forever rejoice
Rejoice Oh forever rejoice
Rejoice in Christ Jesus, forever rejoice
Rejoice Oh forever rejoice

Help me redeem all passing things for the everlasting
Help me forsake all earthly gain for eternal treasure
