Call to Worship
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
—Psalm 9:1-2 (ESV)
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

Rejoice
Come and stand before your Maker
Full of wonder, full of fear
Come behold his power and glory
Yet with confidence draw near
For the one who holds the heavens
And commands the stars above
Is the God who bends to bless us
With an unrelenting love
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice
We are children of the promise
The beloved of the Lord
Won with everlasting kindness
Bought with sacrificial blood
Bringing reconciliation
To a world that longs to know
The affections of a Father
Who will never let them go
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice
All our sickness, all our sorrows
Jesus carried up the hill
He has walked this path before us
He is walking with us still
Turning tragedy to triumph
Turning agony to praise
There is blessing in the battle
So take heart and stand amazed
Rejoice!
When you cry to him
He hears your voice
He will wipe away your tears
Rejoice!
In the midst of suffering
He will help you sing
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice

An Affirmation of Faith
With the whole creation
we wait for the purifying fire of judgment.
For then we will see the Lord face to face.
He will heal our hurts, end our wars,
and make the crooked straight.
Then we will join in the new song
to the Lamb without blemish
who made us a kingdom and priests.
God will be all in all,
Righteousness and peace will flourish,
Everything will be made new,
And every eye will see at last
that our world belongs to God!
Hallelujah! Come, Lord Jesus.
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow
Of turning with thee
Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As thou hast been
Thou forever will be
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
Summer and winter
And springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars
In their courses above
Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thy own dear presence
To cheer and to guide
Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine
With ten thousand beside
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Sermon
“Your Servant will be Glad”
Psalm 109:21-31
Prayer of Confession
Almighty God and Loving Father,
Cleanse our hearts and forgive our sins,
From offenses of thought and deed,
of desire and imagination.
And give us grace to forgive those who have hurt us,
as Jesus forgave His executioners.
Fill us with the restraint of your unfailing love.
And a renewed vision for a healed world,
Until Christ comes to make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
All the Poor and Powerless
All the poor and powerless
And all the lost and lonely
And all the thieves will come confess
And know that you are holy
And know that you are holy
And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah
All the hearts who are content
And all who feel unworthy
And all who hurt with nothing left
Will know that you are holy
And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah
Shout it
Go on and sing it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That he is God
Shout it
Go on and sing it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That he is God
And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah
And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah
