“I am the vine; 
you are the branches. 
If you remain in me and I in you,
you will bear much fruit; 
apart from me you can do nothing.”

John 15: 5 New International Version (NIV)

Then Hannah prayed and said:
“My heart rejoices in the Lord;
    in the Lord my horn is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies,
    for I delight in your deliverance.
There is no one holy like the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock like our God.”

1 Samuel 2: 1-2 (NIV)

Then I looked and heard the voice of 
many angels, numbering thousands 
upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and 
honor and glory and praise!

Revelation 5: 11-12 (NIV)

Whom Shall I Fear (Chris Tomlin)

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
Whom shall I fear?

“Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied, 
“I am a woman who is deeply troubled. 
I have not been drinking wine or beer; 
I was pouring out my soul to the Lord. 
Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here 
out of my great anguish and grief.”

1 Samuel 1: 15-16 (NIV)

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know
his master’s business.
Instead, I have called you friends,
for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

John 15:15 (NIV)

However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)
