Call to Worship

 

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak, but thou art mighty
Hold me with thy powerful hand

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more
Feed me till I want no more

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through

Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer
Be thou still my Strength and Shield
Be thou still my Strength and Shield

When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside
Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction
Land me safe on Canaan’s side

Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee
I will ever give to thee

William Williams; translated by Peter Williams & William Williams, Tune CWM RHONDDA. John Hughes CCLI 241710

 

Majestic
O Lord, our Lord how majestic
Is your name in all the earth
O Lord, our Lord how majestic
Is your name in all the earth

The heavens declare your greatness
The oceans cry out to you
The mountains they bow down before you
So I’ll join with the earth
And I’ll give my praise to you

O Lord, our Lord how majestic
Is your name in all the earth
O Lord, our Lord how majestic
Is your name in all the earth

The heavens declare your greatness
The oceans cry out to you
The mountains they bow down before you
So I’ll join with the earth and I’ll sing

The heavens declare your greatness
The oceans cry out to you
The mountains they bow down before you
So I’ll join with the earth
And I’ll give my praise to you

I will worship you
I will worship you
We will worship you
We will worship you

The heavens declare your greatness
The oceans cry out to you
The mountains they bow down before you
So I’ll join with the earth and I’ll sing

The heavens declare your greatness
The oceans cry out to you
The mountains they bow down before you
So I’ll join with the earth
And I’ll give my praise to you

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — I Am
There’s no space that his love can’t reach
There’s no place where we can’t find peace
There’s no end to amazing grace

Take me in with your arms spread wide
Take me in like an orphan child
Never let go, never leave my side

I am holding on to you
I am holding on to you
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on, I am

Love like this, O my God to find
I am overwhelmed, what a joy divine
Love like this sets our hearts on fire

I am holding on to you
I am holding on to you
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on, I am

I am holding on to you
I am holding on to you
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on, I am

This is my resurrection song
This is my hallelujah come
This is why it’s to you I run

This is my resurrection song
This is my hallelujah come
This is why it’s to you I run

There’s no space that his love can’t reach
There’s no place where we can’t find peace
There’s no end to amazing grace

I am holding on to you
I am holding on to you
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on, I am

Affirmation 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

* ‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.

 

Revelation Song
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is he
Sing a new song to him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor
Strength and glory and power be
To you the only wise King

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of your name
Jesus your name is power
Breath and living water
Such a marvelous myst’ry…

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Sermon
“The Strengthening Hand”
Matthew 6:7-13

 

Prayer of Confession
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the Kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Jesus Died My Soul to Save
I stand amazed at your love for me
That lonely night in Gethsemane
This sinner’s heart can’t help but thrill
To hear you pray, “Father, not my will”

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

Atonement full, applied to me
The blood that spilled at Calvary
Has swallowed all my sin and shame
I’m reconciled, in Jesus’ name

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

O such pleasure, O such pain
The Father’s wrath and fury laid
On Christ whom saints and angels praise
Jesus died my soul to save

Come you broken, bound by sin
And let your weary journey end
Come and lay your burdens down
Where mercy rules and peace abounds

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save
Jesus died my soul to save

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
