Welcome to Guthrie Grove Church of God. It is good to praise the Lord. It is good to gaze upon His majesty: To proclaim His love in the morning, and His faithfulness at night. Oh, it is good to worship and praise the Lord.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
I Love You, Lord:
I love You, Lord, and I lift my voice to worship You, O my soul rejoice.
Take joy, my King, in what You hear, may it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.
Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
