For our final week of INCREASE, our theme is generosity. This song quickly came to mind for this theme. It is a declaration of giving every part of ourselves and all that we have to God, to be used for His purposes. It is a modern remake of the hymn “Take My Life and Let It Be”. You can listen to this song by Chris Tomlin here.

For our theme of joy during this second week of INCREASE, here is a song called “Joy Is In This Place” by Tim Hughes. It incorporates the words of the classic hymn “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind but now I see.” As it says in Psalm 51:12, “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.” You can listen to the song here.

This week during INCREASE we focus on gratitude. We have many things to be thankful for in our lives, but some stand above the rest: the great love that God has for us and the freedom and life Jesus brought us through his sacrifice. “Jesus, faithful King. Lord, we grateful hearts we sing. How great is the love, how great is the love of our Saviour.” You can listen to the song here.
