Worship – April 28, 2013

Call to Worship
But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.

You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.

—Psalm 59:16-17, (NIV)

 

Prayer of Confession
O God, you have searched us and you know us.
Purify our hearts.
Expose our motives and intentions.
Reveal our sin and dark thoughts.
Forgive, cleanse, and restore us through Jesus.
Give us hearts of faith.
Help us to follow you, and to obey your voice.
Where we have been prideful, humble us.
Where we have been unforgiving, soften our hearts.
Where we have slumbered spiritually, awaken us.
Where we have been indifferent, convict us to action.
Cause your Spirit to fill us.
And as we are filled,
Help us to bear the fruit of your presence and peace.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Come Christians Join to Sing
Come, Christians, join to sing
Alleluia! Amen!
Loud praise to Christ our King
Alleluia! Amen!

Let all, with heart and voice
Before his throne rejoice
Praise is his gracious choice
Alleluia! Amen!

Come, lift your hearts on high
Alleluia! Amen!
Let praises fill the sky
Alleluia! Amen!

He is our Guide and Friend
To us he’ll condescend
His love shall never end
Alleluia! Amen!

Praise yet our Christ again
Alleluia! Amen!
Life shall not end the strain
Alleluia! Amen!

On heaven’s blissful shore
His goodness we’ll adore
Singing forevermore
Alleluia! Amen!

Enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward, worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You’re my coming King, you are ev’rything
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you…

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me

More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

Confession of Faith
We are justified “freely” or “by grace”
through redemption in Jesus Christ.
And therefore we cling to this foundation,
which is firm forever,
giving all glory to God,
humbling ourselves,
and recognizing ourselves as we are;
not claiming a thing for ourselves or our merits
and leaning and resting on the sole obedience of Christ crucified,
which is ours when we believe in him.

—based on Belgic Confession, Art. 23

 

Just As I Am
Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me
And that thou bidst me come to thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many conflicts, many doubts
Fightings and fears within, without
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Just as I am, thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down
Now, to be thine, yea thine alone
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Charlotte Elliott, 1836, Tune, WOODWORTH, William B. Bradbury, CCLI 241710

 

Wonderful Merciful Savior
You are the one that we praise
You are the one we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
O, our hearts always hunger for

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
O, you rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts
Have hopelessly lost the way
O, we hopelessly lost the way

You are the one that we praise
You are the one we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
O, our hearts always hunger for

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving your own
Here, in our weakness, you find us
Falling before your throne
O, we’re falling before your throne

You are the one that we praise
You are the one we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
O, our hearts always hunger for
