This Is My Father’s World
This is my Father’s world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres
This is my Father’s world
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought
This is my Father’s world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white
Declare their maker’s praise
This is my Father’s world
He shines in all that’s fair
In the rustling grass I hear him pass
He speaks to me everywhere
This is my Father’s world
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet
This is my Father’s world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring
God reigns, let the earth be glad

Gifts — Jesus Loves Me
I was lost, I was in chains
The world had a hold on me
My heart was a stone
I was covered in shame when he came for me
I couldn’t run, couldn’t run from his presence
I couldn’t run, couldn’t run from his arms
Jesus, he loves me, he loves me, he is for me
Jesus, how can it be, he loves me, he is for me
It was a fire, deep in my soul
I’ll never be the same
I stepped out of the dark and into the light
When he called my name
I couldn’t run, couldn’t run from his presence
I couldn’t run, couldn’t run from his arms
Jesus, he loves me, he loves me, he is for me
Jesus, how can it be, he loves me, he is for me
He holds the stars and he holds my heart
With healing hands that bear the scars
The rugged cross where he died for me
My only hope, my everything
Jesus, he loves me, he loves me, he is for me
Jesus, how can it be, he loves me, he is for me

A Litany of God’s Pardoning Grace
We believe that God has entrusted the church
with the message of reconciliation
in and through Jesus Christ,
that the church is called to be the salt of the earth
and the light of the world,
that the church is called blessed
because it is a peacemaker,
that the church is witness both by word and by deed
to the new heaven and the new earth
in which righteousness dwells.
—From the Belhar Confession
The Earth is Yours
Your voice it thunders
The oaks start twisting
The forest sounds with cedars breaking
The waters see you
And start their writhing
From the depths a song is rising
Now it’s rising from the ground…
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
Your voice it thunders
The ground is shaking
The mighty mountains now are trembling
Creation sees you
And starts composing
The fields and trees, they start rejoicing
Now it’s rising from the ground
Now it’s rising from the ground
Hear us crying out…
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity

Sermon
“Consumed – When God’s Will & Our Passions Clash”
Jonah 4:1-4
Prayer of Confession
Dear Jesus, Friend to Sinners,
be merciful to us, for this is what we are.
Take the broken offering of our imperfect hearts,
and weak resolves,
and graciously forgive our sins.
Where we are restless, bring peace.
Where our hearts are cold, melt the indifference away.
Free us from self-serving passions.
Open our hearts to the weak and the outcast.
Enable us to love as you have loved us,
and to serve as you have served,
change us and free us to love,
follow and obey you, for the sake of this world
that you created to be good.
Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Come to Me
Weary burdened wanderer
There is rest for thee
At the feet of Jesus
In his love so free
Listen to his message
Words of life, forever blessed
O, thou heavy laden
Come to me, come and rest
There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
Bring him all thy burdens
All thy guilt and sin
Mercy’s door is open
Rise up and enter
There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
Jesus there is waiting
Patiently for thee
Hear him gently calling
“Come, oh, come to me”
“Come, oh, come to me”
“Come, oh, come to me”
There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
