Everything fell in place. The power came back half an hour before the service started. Gladwin filled in to help with the sound and Christina&#8217;s laptop made it on time for us to transfer the powerpoint (thanks to Gladwins thumb drive as both mine failed!). Kristin and Christina joined in for vocals and we started off with resounding praise as the church joined in. The worship took us on a journey of opening our eyes to see Jesus, being surrounded by his beauty as we boldly approached Him. Even though &nbsp;&#8220;Boldly I approach&#8221; was a new song for our church, a lot of people joined in. This is the songlist:<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">1. Beautiful One (Tim Hughes)<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">2. Open The Yes of my Heart (Paul Baloche)<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">3. Open my eyes Lord<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">4. Turn your eyes upon Jesus<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">5. Boldly I approach (Rend Collective)<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">6. When I look into your Holiness<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">7. Blessed Assurance (Fanny Crosby)<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">This is the first time I have tried a Rend Collective song.
