MAY 31ST
Musical dynamics help our praise team shape the feeling of a song, not just the volume. Terms like piano (p – soft) and mezzo piano (mp – moderately soft) create intimate, reflective moments, while mezzo forte (mf – moderately loud) is our natural, full-band level. forte (f – loud) and fortissimo (ff – very loud) bring energy, confidence, and celebration—often in choruses or climactic sections. You’ll see these symbols in the lyric sections to guide how each part should feel; if no dynamic is marked, sing at the default level of mezzo forte (mf).
HYMN
Fanny Crosby
1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
do not pass me by.
Refrain:
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
while on others Thou art calling,
do not pass me by.
2 Let me at a throne of mercy
find a sweet relief,
kneeling there in deep contrition;
help my unbelief.
Refrain:
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
while on others Thou art calling,
do not pass me by.
3 Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
heal my wounded, broken spirit,
save me by Thy grace.
Refrain:
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
while on others Thou art calling,
do not pass me by.
4 Thou, the Spring of all my comfort,
more than life to me;
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heav'n but Thee?
Refrain:
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
while on others Thou art calling,
do not pass me by.

*TRANSITION TO BIG GOD*
—
Phrase: “Ekele, ekele di gi nma”
Pronunciation
eh-KEH-leh, eh-KEH-leh dee gee mah
* Ekele → eh-KEH-leh (stress the middle “KEH”)
* di gi → dee gee (light and smooth)
* nma → N-mah (very quick “n” into “mah,” almost one beat)
Say it like a gentle flow, not choppy:
eh-KEH-leh | eh-KEH-leh | dee-gee-Nmah
Meaning (Translation from Igbo language)
* Ekele = thanks / thanksgiving
* di gi nma = is good / is fitting for you
Full Meaning:
“Thanksgiving, thanksgiving is good (or fitting) for You.”
In a praise context:
“We give You thanks—it is right to thank You.”
If “Anyi na enyegi ekele” is in Igbo, English translation is:
“Anyone who gives thanks”

I couldn't seem to fall asleep
There was so much on my mind
Searching for that peace
But the peace I could not find
So then I kneeled down to pray
Praying, "Help me, please"
Then He said, "You don't have to cry"
'Cause I'll supply all your needs
As soon as I stopped worrying (soon as I stopped worrying)
Worrying how the story ends (when I let go)
When I let go, and I let God (let Him have)
Let God have His way (that's when things start happening)
That's when things start happening
When I stopped looking at back then (when I let go)
I let go, and I let God (when I let God)
(Let Him have) let God have His way
There's so much going on
Sometimes I can't find my way
And often times I struggle
Struggle from day to day
I have to realize that it's not my battle
It's not my battle to fight
I have to know if I put it in Your hands
That everything will be alright
As soon as I stopped worrying (soon as I stopped worrying)
Worrying how the story ends (I can let go)
I let go, and I let God (I can let God, let Him have)
Let God have His way (have His way, that's)
That's when things start happening (things start happening)
I stopped looking at back then (oh, when I let go)
When I let go, and I let God (when I let God)
(Let Him have) let God have His way
Let go, let God
Let go and let God
Let go, let God
Oh, let go and let God
Let go and let God
My brother, let go and let God
My sister, you can't handle it, let God
Oh, let go and let God
Let go (let go) and let God (let God)
Oh, let go (let go) and let God (let God)
He's the only one with the answers (let go), just let God (let God)
He can handle it all, yes, He can (let go), let God (let God)
With tears in your eyes (let go), just let God (let God)
He feels your pain (let go), and He know your heart (let God)
He knows your issues (let go), He knows your struggles (let God)
So let go (let go) and let God (let God)
Worrying how the story ends (then and only then can I)
When I let go, and I let God (I can let go)
(I can let God) let God have His way (let God have His way)
(That's when, that's when) that's when things start happening
(Everything will turn around, yes, it will)
When I stopped looking at back then when (I stopped looking at way back then, I can)
I let go, and I let God (I can let go, I can let God)
Let God have His way (oh, soon as)
As soon as I stopped worrying (oh)
(Oh yeah) that's when things start happening
(My body was healed, and my worries were cast aside as soon as)
Soon as I stopped worrying
(When I threw up both of my hands and I gave it over to Him)
(That's when things) that's when things start happening
When I let go, when I let God

[Verse 1]
I love You, Lord
For Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

'Cause all my life you have been faithful
And all my life you have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
[Verse 2]
I love Your voice
You have lead me through the fire
In darkest nights
You are close like no other
I've known You as a Father
I've known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God (Hey)

'Cause all my life you have been faithful (Oh, yes, you have)
And all my life you have been so, so good

Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
