Welcome to Neighborhood Church of Dorchester’s Sunday Service. From May – October of 2023, we will be meeting in Elmhurst Park, at 27 Elmhurst Street, Dorchester MA 02124. Below are the lyrics of the worship songs for May 21st, 2023. 

 

Graves Into Gardens

=================

I searched the world

But it couldn’t fill me

Man’s empty praise

And treasures that fade

Are never enough

 

Then You came along

And put me back together

And every desire

Is now satisfied

Here in Your love

 

Oh, there’s nothing better than You

There’s nothing better than You

Lord, there’s nothing

Nothing is better than You

 

I’m not afraid

To show You my weakness

My failures and flaws

Lord, You’ve seen ’em all

And You still call me friend

 

‘Cause the God of the mountain

Is the God of the valley

There’s not a place

Your mercy and grace

Won’t find me again

 

Oh, there’s nothing better than You

There’s nothing better than You

Lord, there’s nothing

Nothing is better than You

(I know it’s true)

 

You turn mourning to dancing

You give beauty for ashes

You turn shame into glory

You’re the only one who can

 

You turn graves into gardens

You turn bones into armies

You turn seas into highways

You’re the only one who can

You’re the only one who can

 

 

Rattle

======

[Verse 1]

Saturday was silent

Surely it was through

But since when has impossible

Ever stopped You

 

[Verse 2]

Friday’s disappointment

Is Sunday’s empty tomb

Since when has impossible

Ever stopped You

 

[Chorus]

This is the sound

Of dry bones rattling

This is the praise

Make a dead man walk again

Open the grave

I’m coming out

I’m gonna live

Gonna live again

This is the sound

Of dry bones rattling

 

[Verse 3]

Pentecostal fire

Stirring something new

You’re not gonna run out of miracles

Anytime soon

 

[Verse 4]

Resurrection power

Runs in my veins too

I believe there’s another miracle

Here in this room!

 

[Chorus]

This is the sound

Of dry bones rattling

This is the praise

Make a dead man walk again

Open the grave

I’m coming out

I’m gonna live

Gonna live again

This is the sound

Of dry bones rattling

 

[Bridge 1]

My God is able to save

And deliver and heal

And restore anything that He wants to

Just ask the man

Who was thrown

On the bones of Elisha

If there’s anything that He can’t do

Just ask the stone

That was rolled

At the tomb in the garden

What happens when God says to move

I feel Him moving it now

I feel Him doing it now

I feel Him doing it now

Do it now, do it now

 

[Bridge 2]

I hear the sound (I hear the sound)

I hear the sound (I hear the sound)

I hear the sound (I hear the sound)

I hear the sound (I hear the sound)

And the bones began to rattle

(Rattle, rattle, rattle)

God said live (God said live)

Hear the word of the Lord

And this is what He said

Live

Live

Dry bones

Hear the word of the Lord

Live (live)

Live (live)

 

 

Surrounded

==========

[Verse 1]

There’s a table that You’ve prepared for me

In the presence of my enemies

It’s Your body and Your blood You’ve shed for me

This is how I fight my battles

 

[Pre-Chorus]

And I believe You’ve overcome

And I will lift my song of praise for what You’ve done

 

[Chorus]

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how

 

[Verse 2]

In the valley I know that You’re with me

And surely Your goodness and mercy follow me

So my weapons are praise and thanksgiving

This is how I fight my battles

 

[Bridge]

It may look like I’m surrounded but I’m surrounded by You

It may look like I’m surrounded but I’m surrounded by You
