Call to Worship
Give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
For he is the Lord our God,
faithful to a thousand generations!
Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
For he is the Lord our God,
faithful to a thousand generations!
Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
For he is the Lord our God,
faithful to a thousand generations!
—based on Psalm 105
Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder
Let us love and sing and wonder
Let us praise the Savior’s name
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame
Let us love the Lord who bought us
Pitied us when enemies
Called us by his grace and taught us
Gave us ears and gave us eyes
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He presents our souls to God
Let us wonder, grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store
When through grace in Christ our trust is
Justice smiles and asks no more
He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
Has secured our way to God
Let us praise, and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high
Here they trusted him before us
Now their praises fill the sky
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He will bring us home to God

Blessed Be Your Name
Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
Blessed be your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say…
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — Please Be My Strength
I’ve tried to stand my ground, I’ve tried to understand
But I can’t seem to find my faith again
Like water on the sand, or grasping at the wind
I keep on falling short
So please by my strength, please be my strength
Cause I don’t have any more, I don’t have any more
I’m looking for a place where I can plant my faith
One thing I know for sure
I cannot create it, I cannot sustain it
It’s your love that’s keeping me
So please by my strength, please be my strength
Cause I don’t have any more, I don’t have any more
And at my final breath I hope that I can say
I fought the good fight of faith
I pray your glory shine in this doubting heart of mine
And all would know that you
You are my strength, you are my strength
You and you alone, you keep bringing me back home

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
* ‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.
Praise the Father, Praise the Son
O sovereign God, O matchless King
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne of grace
To you belongs the highest praise
These sufferings, this passing tide
Under your wings I will abide
And every enemy shall flee
You are my hope and victory
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
To the valley for my soul
Thy great descent has made me whole
Your word my heart has welcomed home
Now peace like water ever flows
O praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory, forever
(repeat)
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
The name above all other names

Sermon
“The Voice that Shapes Us”
2 Timothy 3:10-17
Prayer of Confession—“Lord, I Need You”
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without you, I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
Where sin runs deep your grace is more
Where grace is found is where you are
And where you are Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
Teach my song to rise to you
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on you
Jesus, you’re my hope and stay
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
You’re my one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

The Lord’s Supper
Dear Refuge Of My Weary Soul
Dear refuge of my weary soul
On thee, when sorrows rise
On thee, when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies
To thee I tell each rising grief
For thou alone canst heal
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel
But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail
And all my hopes decline
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to thee Though prostrate in the dust
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face
And shall I seek in vain
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain
No still the ear of sovereign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer
O may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there
Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet
Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host

Having read this I thought it was rather enlightening.
I appreciate you spending some time and energy to put
this information together. I once again find myself
personally spending a lot of time both reading
and posting comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
