God You Reign
You paint the night
You count the stars
And you call them by name
The skies proclaim, ‘God you reign’
Your glory shines
You teach the sun
When to bring a new day
Creation sings, ‘God you reign’
God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign
You part the seas
You move the mountains
With the words that you say
My song remains, ‘God you reign’
You hold my life
You know my heart
And you call me by name
I live to say, ‘God you reign’
God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu
God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign
God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu

Sermon
“New Year, New You”
2 Corinthians 5:1-10
Prayer of Confession
O God, early in the morning I cry to you.
Help me to pray and to concentrate my thoughts on you:
I cannot do this alone.
In me there is darkness, but with you there is light;
I am lonely, but you do not leave me;
I am feeble in heart, but with you there is help;
I am restless, but with you there is peace.
In me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience.
I do not understand your ways, but you know the way for me.
Restore me to liberty, and enable me to live now
that I may answer before you and before me.
Lord, whatever this day may bring, your name be praised.
Amen.
—Deitrich Bonhoeffer
Assurance of Pardon
“O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.”
—Psalm 130:7
The Lord’s Supper
O Come to the Altar
Are you hurting and broken within
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today, there’s no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
O, what a Savior
Isn’t he wonderful
Sing alleluia
Christ is risen
Bow down before him
For he is Lord of all
Sing alleluia
Christ is risen
O, what a Savior
Isn’t he wonderful
Sing alleluia
Christ is risen
Bow down before him
For he is Lord of all
Sing alleluia
Christ is risen
O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
