Strong Tower
(Words & music by Isaac S. Cates)
My strong tower,
You are my shelter.
Jesus, You’re the only one my heart beats for.
I vow to worship You, Lord, forever.
I pledge my life to You, oh Lord.
My strong tower,
You are my shelter.
Jesus you’re the only one my heart beats for.
I vow to worship You, Lord, Forever.
I pledge my life to You, oh Lord.
In times of trouble
I don’t worry.
I am covered by the blood of Jesus
In times of trouble
I don’t worry.
I am covered by the blood of Jesus!
Trust in God
[Verse 1]
Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine
He’s been my fourth man in the fire time after time
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
And what He did for me on Calvary is more than enough
[Chorus]
I trust in God, my Savior
The one who will never fail
He will never fail
I trust in God, My savior
The one wo will never fail
He will never fail
[Verse 2]
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I know the author of tomorrow has ordered my steps
So this is my story and this is my song
Praising my risen King and Savior all the day long
[Chorus]
I trust in God, my Savior
The one who will never fail
He will never fail
I trust in God, my Savior
The one who will never fail
He will never fail
[Bridge]
I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered
I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered
I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered
That’s why I trust Him, that’s why I trust Him

Strength to Love
Join this dynamic opportunity to join in group conversation with a blend of members from St James United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection as we read selections of ‘Strength to Love’ by Martin Luther King Jr together. These groups will promote racial healing, cooperation, learning, and togetherness. Groups will meet 10/2 and 10/16 at Resurrection Leawood, and 10/9 and 10/23 at SJUMC from 6:30-8pm. Participants will be assigned groups and notified upon event start date.
Dream Again
We all have dreams — and the desire to pursue them — but life can leave us feeling overwhelmed with expectations, stress, and burnout. Can you relate?! It can be difficult to move forward under the weight of it all.
But, Jen Hatmaker and Tyler Merritt are here to show you the magic that can happen when you’re committed to dreaming again — to seeking light in the shards; to finding beauty in the ugliest of days; and to keeping your mind open to the possibilities around the corner.
Through some of their most personal stories, Jen and Tyler have an inspiring, hilarious, and heartfelt night on tap. And, yes, Broadway will probably enter the chat (if you know you know — or you’ll soon learn!).
Ultimately, they’ll encourage you to remember you haven’t missed your chance to live the life of your dreams and you’ll leave feeling newly energized and motivated.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to spend an evening with Jen and Tyler. They’ll pour out their hearts — and lift yours.
