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)

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

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

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

An Affirmation of Belief
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Through him we have also obtained access by faith
into this grace in which we stand,
and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings,
knowing that suffering produces endurance,
and endurance produces character,
and character produces hope,
and hope does not put us to shame,
because God’s love has been poured into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
—Romans 5:1-5
Great Are You Lord
You give life, you are love,
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope
You restore ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are you Lord
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only
You give life, you are love,
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope
You restore ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are you Lord
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only
And all the earth will shout your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are you Lord
And all the earth will shout your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are you Lord
And all the earth will shout your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are you Lord
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only

Sermon
“Weathering the Storm”
Acts 9: 20-31
Prayer of Confession
Sovereign God and Loving Father,
you have entered into our brokenness,
by sending your Son.
And therefore, out of evil you intend good.
Out of suffering you offer hope.
Out of loss you cause gain.
Out of death you bring life.
So take our imperfect and often weary lives,
and redeem them for your sake.
Cause the renewing power of the gospel,
to flow to those we love, and to our world.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Come Ye Sinners
Come ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready, stands to save you
Full of pity, love and power
Come ye thirsty, come and welcome
God’s free bounty glorified
True belief in true repentance
And every grace that brings you nigh
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O there are ten thousand charms
Come ye weary, heavy laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry ’til you’re better
You will never come at all
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O there are ten thousand charms
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O there are ten thousand charms
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O there are ten thousand charms
