How Firm a Foundation
How firm a foundation
Ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith
In his excellent Word
What more can he say
Than to you he hath said
To you, who for refuge
To Jesus have fled
Fear not, I am with thee
O be not dismayed
For I am thy God
And will still give thee aid
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee
And cause thee to stand
Upheld by my righteous
Omnipotent hand
When through the deep waters
I call thee to go
The rivers of woe
Shall not thee overflow
For I will be with thee
Thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee
Thy deepest distress
When through fiery trials
Thy pathways shall lie
My grace, all sufficient
Shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee
I only design
Thy dross to consume
And thy gold to refine
The soul that on Jesus
Hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not
Desert to its foes
That soul, though all hell
Should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never
No never forsake

Great and Mighty King
Your love has rescued us
The cross delivered all our hearts from fear
Our hope is here
You came to make a way
Jesus, you came to raise the dead to life
Our song will rise
O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy
What do we have to bring
This is our offering, our hearts before
The risen Lord
All power in your name
Jesus, the One who saves, be lifted high
Our song will rise
O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy
Your glory fills this place
We shout unending praise
Forever hallelujah
Forever hallelujah
Your glory fills this place
We shout unending praise
Forever hallelujah
Forever hallelujah
Your glory fills this place
We shout unending praise

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts— “One and Only”
Who spoke and taught the sun to rise?
Whose lips proclaimed the birth of light?
Who sparked the kindling of stars
And set the fire in our hearts?
Who sang as planets learned their dance?
Who poured the oceans from his hands?
Whose breath awakened life from dust
And leaves me breathless at his touch?
Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours and yours alone
Who is this man upon a cross
Who left his throne to ransom us?
Who died to save us at our worst
And rose to give us Heaven’s best?
You rose to give us Heaven’s best
Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours
My Savior, Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours and yours alone
We will watch the bridegroom come
And Heaven breaking like the dawn
All dressed in white, our shame is gone
We’re free to dance before your throne
Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours
My Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours and yours alone

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul praise him
For he is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear
Now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord
Who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee
Health hath vouchsafed
And when heedlessly failing, hath stayed thee
What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief
Wings of his mercy did shade thee
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him
Praise to the Lord
Who, when tempests their warfare are waging
Who, when the elements
Madly around thee are raging
Biddeth them cease
Turneth their fury to peace
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him
Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before him
Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him

Children Dismissed for Children’s Church
Sermon
“When Friends Collide”
Acts 15:36-41
Prayer of Confession
Heavenly Father,
forgive us and cleanse us from unrighteousness.
Our sins are too numerous to count
and too great for us to overcome.
Freshly pour out your grace upon us.
Captivate our hearts, our desires,
our motives and our actions.
Where we have been distant, draw us near.
Where we have been resistant, break down our hardness,
where we have been fearful, reaffirm your love.
Heal, restore and renew us. And in this,
bear testimony to your greatness and glory.
That the world would know that you are good.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Just As I Am
Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me
And that thou bidst me come to thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many conflicts, many doubts
Fightings and fears within, without
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down
Now, to be thine, yea thine alone
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
