CHURCH THEME SONG
This time last year, I didn’t know where I would be,I didn’t know just what God had planned for me.
I took a leap of faith, I stretched out on His Word,
I knew I had to do all I could.
Jesus took me by my hand and said this is the plan, you are the Church Where Love Abounds.
Today, I’m happy, today I’m free, today I’m where God wants me to be.
I took a leap of faith, I stretched out on His Word,
I knew I had to do all I could,
Jesus took me by my hand and said this is the plan, you are the Church Where Love Abounds.
We are the Church Where Love Abounds, we are the Church Where Love Abounds,
We are the Church Where Love Abounds, we are the Church Where Love Abounds!
