Worship – April 27, 2014

Welcome & Announcements

Call to Worship
I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.

All your works praise you, Lord;
your faithful people extol you.
They tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might,
so that all people may know of your mighty acts
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
Let every creature praise his holy name
for ever and ever.

—Psalm 145:1-3, 10-12, 21 (NIV)

I Know That My Redeemer Lives
I know that my Redeemer lives
What comfort this sweet sentence gives
He lives, He lives, who once was dead
He lives, my ever living Head

He lives triumphant from the grave
He lives eternally to save
He lives all glorious in the sky
He lives exalted there on high

He lives, all glory to his name
He lives, my Jesus, still the same
O, the sweet joy this sentence gives
I know that my Redeemer lives

Samuel Medley 1775 / Duke Street, attributed to John Hatton, 1793

Holy
What heart could hold the weight of your love
And know the heights of your great worth
What eyes could look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun

Your name alone has pow’r to raise us
Your light will shine when all else fades
Our eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun

You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are

And you will come again in glory
To judge the living and the dead
All eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Who is like you, God

You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are

Who shall we say you are?
You’re the living God
Who shall we say you are?
You’re the Great I AM
The highest name of all
You’re all you say you are

You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are

You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
Jesus you are, Jesus you are

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

Gifts—“Recitativo and Scherzo for Violin Alone” Fritz Kreisler

A Confession of Faith
God remembered his promise to reconcile the world to himself;
he has come among us in Jesus Christ, the eternal Word made flesh.

He is the long-awaited Savior, fully human and fully divine,
conceived by the Spirit of God and born of the virgin Mary.

Being both God and man, Jesus is the only Mediator
between God and his people.

He alone paid the debt of our sin; there is no other Savior!

In him the Father chose those whom he would save.

His electing love sustains our hope:
God’s grace is free to save sinners who offer nothing
but their need for mercy.

—Our World Belongs to God, st. 24, 28

Before the Throne of God Above
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, and perfect plea
A great high Priest whose name is ‘Love’
Who ever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on his hands
My name is written on his heart
I know that while in heav’n he stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see him there
Who made an end to all my sin

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me
To look on him and pardon me

Behold him there, the risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of grace

One with himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by his blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God

Sing Hallelujah to the Lord
Sing hallelujah to the Lord
(Sing hallelujah to the Lord)
Sing hallelujah to the Lord
(Sing hallelujah…)
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
(Hal – le – lu – jah)
Sing hallelujah to the Lord
(Sing hallelujah to the Lord)

Jesus is King and Lord of all
(Jesus is King and Lord of all)
Jesus is King and Lord of all
(Jesus is King…)
Jesus is King & Lord, Jesus is King & Lord
(Hal – le – lu – jah)
Jesus is King and Lord of all
(Jesus is King and Lord of all)

Jesus is risen from the dead
(Jesus is risen from the dead)
Jesus is risen from the dead
(Jesus is risen…)
Jesus is risen, Jesus is risen
(Hal – le – lu – jah)
Jesus is risen from the dead
(Jesus is risen from the dead)

Sing hallelujah to the Lord
(Sing hallelujah to the Lord)
Sing hallelujah to the Lord

Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
(Hal – le – lu – jah)
Sing hallelujah to the Lord
(Sing hallelujah to the Lord)

Sermon
“Cut to the Heart”
Acts 2:32-41

Prayer of Confession
Precious Father, be merciful to us.
We offer nothing but empty hands, but we come in the name of Jesus,
who died our death, and bore our shame.
And we pray that in Christ, you would forgive our sin,
and restore the joy of our salvation,
renewing us to serve and take pleasure in you, now, and forevermore. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

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

Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father
And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen, amen

EASTER WORSHIP – April 20, 2014

An Easter Welcome

‘On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!”

—Luke 24:1-6

Death in His Grave
Though the earth cried out for blood
Satisfied her hunger was
Her billows calmed on raging seas
For the souls of men she craved

Sun and moon from balcony
Turned their head in disbelief
Their precious Love would taste the sting
Disfigured and disdained

On Friday, a thief
On Sunday, a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke with the keys to hell on that day
Firstborn of the slain
The man Jesus Christ laid death in his grave

So three days in darkness slept
The morning sun of righteousness
But rose to shame the throes of death
And overturn his rule

Now daughters and the sons of men
Would pay not their dues again
The debt of blood they owed was rent
When the day rolled anew

On Friday, a thief
On Sunday, a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke with the keys to hell on that day
Firstborn of the slain
The man Jesus Christ laid death in his grave

Death in his grave
Death in his grave
Death in his grave

He has cheated hell
And seated us above the fall
In desperate places, he paid our wages
One time once and for all

On Friday, a thief
On Sunday, a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke with the keys to hell on that day
Firstborn of the slain
The man Jesus Christ laid death in his grave

An Easter Call to Worship
Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He has raised Jesus from the dead.

Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.
You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!

For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead.

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.

So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

“Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death,
and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!”

Christ is risen, and you are overthrown.

Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen.

Christ is risen, and the Angels rejoice.

Christ is risen, and life reigns.

Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave.

Alleluia! Christ is risen.

He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

Isaiah 26:19, Romans 13:12, the Troparion of Pascha, an Orthodox hymn chanted at Easter (“Pascha”), John Chrysostom’s, Sermon on the Lord’s Resurrection & Traditional Easter Affirmation.

Christ is Risen
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you’ve bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

O, death, where is your sting
O, hell, where is your victory
O, church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, he’s alive, he’s alive

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Arise My Soul, Arise!
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears
The bleeding sacrifice
In my behalf appears

Before the throne my Surety stands
Before the throne my Surety stands
My name is written on his hands

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

He ever lives above
For me to intercede
His all redeeming love
His precious blood to plead

His blood atoned for every race
His blood atoned for every race
And sprinkles now the throne of grace

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

Five bleeding wounds he bears
Received on Calvary
They pour effectual prayers
They strongly plead for me

“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die”

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

My God is reconciled
His pardoning voice I hear
He owns me for his child
I can no longer fear

With confidence I now draw nigh
With confidence I now draw nigh
And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

Gifts – Forever (We Sing Hallelujah)
The moon and stars, they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Savior of the world was fallen

His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon him

One final breath he gave as heaven looked away
The Son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave; the war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken

The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated

Forever he is glorified
Forever he is lifted high
Forever he is risen
He is alive, he is alive

The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated

Forever he is glorified
Forever he is lifted high
Forever he is risen
He is alive, he is alive

We sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah
The Lamb has overcome

Forever he is glorified
Forever he is lifted high
Forever he is risen
He is alive, he is alive

Baptism {10:30 a.m.}
The child being presented for infant baptism this morning is Titus Robert Stevens, covenant son of Robert and Sarah Stevens.

1 Corinthians 15:50-56
Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

Testimony

Crown Him With Many Crowns
Crown him with many crowns
The Lamb upon his throne
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own

Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who died for thee
And hail him as thy matchless King Through all eternity

Crown him the Lord of love
Behold his hands and side
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified

All hail, Redeemer, hail
For thou hast died for me
Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity

Crown him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o’er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife
For those he came to save

His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high
Who died, eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die

Matthew Bridges, 1851. Tune, DIADEMATA, George J. Elvey, 1868CCLI 241710

An Easter Prayer
Risen Jesus, we adore you! You are worthy of worship and praise.
You were dead and now you live.
Cause your Spirit, who raised you from the grave,
to raise us in heart and hope and deed.
Make us a merciful people, strengthen us to live in the power, love,
beauty and joy of the Resurrection.
With hearts that break for the broken, and lives that reflect your peaceful Kingdom, on earth as it is in heaven, until Christ returns to make all things new.
Through Jesus, our Risen King. Amen.

A Shield About Me
Thou, O Lord, are a shield about me
You’re my glory
You’re the lifter of my head

Thou, O Lord, are a shield about me
You’re my glory
You’re the lifter of my head

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
You’re the lifter of my head

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

An Easter Reading – Acts 2:23-28
This Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. For David says concerning him,

‘I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
my flesh also will dwell in hope.
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
or let your Holy One see corruption.
You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

The Easter Message
“You Will Not Abandon My Soul”

Christ the Lord is Risen Today
Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia
Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia

Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia
Death in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia
Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia

Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia
Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia

Charles Wesley, Tune EASTER HYMN. from “Lyra Davidica”, London, 1708

Benediction

A Confession of Jesus Christ
This Lord, our God, the Word of God, the Word made flesh,
the Son of the Father, the Son of God, the Son of man,
exalted that he might create us,
humbled that he might recreate us.
Walked among men and suffering what is human.
Let every sigh be a panting after Christ,
let that most beautiful One,
who loved even the ugly
that he might make them beautiful,
let him be longed for.
Hurry to him alone.

—A Prayer from Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD)

10,00 Reasons
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

The sun comes up
It’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing your song again

Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

You’re rich in love
And you’re slow to anger
Your name is great
And your heart is kind

For all your goodness
I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

And on that day
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come

Still my soul will sing
Your praise unending
Ten thousand years
And then forevermore

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

Sermon
“Behold, Your King is Coming
Jesus on the Way”

Scripture Readings:

First Reading

Luke 19:28-30

28 And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here.

Mark 11:3-7

If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.
4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it.
5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”
6 And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it.

Second Reading

John 12:12-14

12 …the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”
14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it…

Matthew 21:4-5

4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 “Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”

Mark 11:8

8 And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields.

Luke 19:37

37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen…

Mark 11:9-10

9 And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”

Third Reading

Luke 19:39-44

39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
41 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it,
42 saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side
44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

Mark 11:11

11 And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Prayer of Confession
Loving Father and Exalted King,
have mercy on us and forgive our sins.
You are worthy of adoration and honor,
and we praise you.
Wash us and make us clean,
that we may live for the glory of your Name.
Where we are prideful, humble us.
Where our faith is weak, strengthen us.
Where we carry resentment, release our bitterness.
Where we are indifferent, convict us.
Meet us in our weakness.
Deliver us from evil.
Cause your Kingdom to come,
and your will to be done
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Soften our hearts for this broken world,
that you created to be good.
Through Jesus. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

What the Lord Has Done in Me
Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again

Let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Let the blind say I can see
It’s what the Lord has done in me

Into the river I will wade
There my sins are washed away
From the heaven’s mercy stream
Of the Savior’s love for me

Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again

I will rise from waters deep
Into the saving arms of God
I will sing salvation songs
Jesus Christ has set me free

Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen

Call to Worship
I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever;
with my mouth I will make your faithfulness
known through all generations.
I will declare that your love stands firm forever,
that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.

—Psalm 89:1-2 (NIV)

And Can It Be
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood
Died he for me who caused his pain
For me who him to death pursued

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me

He left his Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite his grace
Emptied himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race

’Tis mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light

My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in him, is mine
Alive in him, my living head
And clothed in righteousness divine

Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

Love the Lord
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your mind and
With all your strength
(repeat)

With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your mind
With all your strength

Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your mind and
With all your strength

I will serve the Lord
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind and
With all my strength
(repeat)

With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
With all my strength

I will serve the Lord
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind and
With all my strength

With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind and
With all my strength
(repeat)

I will love you, Lord
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind and
With all my strength

Confession of Faith
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.

—Apostles’ Creed

Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Son of God and Son of man

Thee will I cherish
Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown

Fair are the meadows
Fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring

Jesus is fairer
Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing

Fair is the sunshine
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host

Jesus shines brighter
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast

Beautiful Savior
Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of man

Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

Prayer of Confession
Faithful and Loving Father,
forgive our sin and wash us.
Cleanse us of ungrateful hearts.
Rid us of ugly pride.
Convict us of rebellious thoughts and actions.
Forgive when we fail to love
what you have made good,
and when we love what you
have told us to hate.
Wash us and make us whole.
Restore us.
Renew our love for you.
And rekindle in us a passion
for our lost and broken world.
Through Jesus. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

Mercy
I will kneel in the dust at the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me
Where the wrath I deserve it is gone it has passed
Your blood has hidden me

Mercy mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity

We will lift up the cup and the bread we will break
Remembering your love
We are fallen from grace but you take all our shame
And nail it to a cross

Mercy mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity

May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen

I will kneel in the dust at the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
