Gifts — Glory to God Forever
Before the world was made
Before you spoke it to be
You were the King of kings
Yeah you were, yeah you were
And now you’re reigning still
Enthroned above all things
Angels and saints cry out
We join them as we sing
Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God forever
Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God forever
Creator God you gave me breath
So I could praise
Your great and matchless name
All my days, all my days
So let my whole life be
A blazing offering
A life that shouts and sings
The greatness of our king
Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God forever
Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God forever
Take my life and let it be
All for you and for your glory
Take my life and let it be yours
Take my life and let it be
All for you and for your glory
Take my life and let it be yours
Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God forever
Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God forever
Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God forever
Glory to God, glory to God
Glory to God forever
Take my life and let it be
All for you and for your glory

All for you and for your glory
Take my life and let it be yours

A Confession of the Cross
The Cross is the hope of Christians
The Cross is the resurrection of the dead
The Cross is the way of the lost
The Cross is the savior of the lost
The Cross is the staff of the lame
The Cross is the guide of the blind
The Cross is the strength of the weak
The Cross is the doctor of the sick
The Cross is the aim of the priests
The Cross is the hope of the hopeless
The Cross is the freedom of the slaves
The Cross is the power of the kings
The Cross is the water of the seeds
The Cross is the consolation of the bondmen
The Cross is the source of those who seek water
The Cross is the cloth of the naked.
We thank you, Father, for the Cross.
—10th Century African Hymn
Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise
Immortal, invisible
God only wise
In light inaccessible
Hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious
The Ancient of Days
Almighty, victorious
Thy great name we praise
Unresting, unhasting
And silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting
Thou rulest in might
Thy justice, like mountains
High soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains
Of goodness and love
To all, life thou givest
To both great and small
In all life thou livest
The true life of all
We blossom and flourish
As leaves on the tree
And wither and perish
But naught changeth thee
Great Father of glory
Pure Father of light
Thine angels adore thee
All veiling their sight
All praise we would render
O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor
Of light hideth thee
Walter Chalmers Smith, 1867.Tune, ST. DENIO, traditional Welsh hymn melody

Prayer of Confession
Good Father and Sovereign God,
Hear our prayer and forgive our sins,
Cause your Word to sink deeply
Into our hearts and lives,
That you may shape us into
The Image of Christ, the Living Word.
Send your Spirit to cleanse, fill and renew.
Protect us from the world, the flesh and the devil.
Turn our hearts of stone into hearts of flesh.
And speak your Son into a broken world,
Through our redeemed lives,
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To thy glorious rest above
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Spread his praise from shore to shore
How he loveth, ever loveth
Changeth never, never more
How he watches o’er his loved ones
Died to call them all his own
How for them he intercedeth
Watcheth o’er them from the throne
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Love of every love the best
’Tis an ocean vast of blessing
‘Tis a haven sweet of rest
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
‘Tis a heaven of heavens to me
And it lifts me up to glory
For it lifts me up to thee
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To thy glorious rest above
