Total Praise  R. Smallwood, arr. D. Williamson
In 1996 the gospel musician, Richard Smallwood wrote “Total Praise,” one of his most popular songs, during a difficult time in his life. His mother was beginning to show signs of dementia and a family friend was diagnosed with cancer. Smallwood said the song came to him in a dream. “I felt left by God,” he related. “I was trying to write a pity-party song, but God pulled me to do a praise song. God said, ‘I want your praise no matter what the situation you are in, good or bad.’ It’s about trusting him.”
Wade in the Water  Spiritual, arr. M. Hayes
  John 5:1-9:
Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals.  Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.  Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed—and they waited for the moving of the waters. From time to time an angel of the Lord would come down and stir up the waters. The first one into the pool after each such disturbance would be cured of whatever disease they had.
One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.  When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” 

“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.
With My Song  R. Copeland, arr. J. Schrader
Worship Medley
Holy Ground (Beatty) &
Standing On Holy Ground (Davis)		  Arr. P. Ferrin
The phrase “holy ground” resonates with the experience of Moses at the burning bush, where he had an encounter with God. Stephen retells that story with these words from Acts 7: “After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.  When he saw this, he was amazed at the sight.  As he went over to get a closer look, he heard the Lord say: ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’  Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.  “Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.  I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt.  I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free.  Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’
   
You Raise Me Up  B. Graham & R. Lovland, arr. R. Emerson
