WORSHIP – April 30, 2017

Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
Come and praise, you servants of God!
Praise the name of the Lord!

Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the Lord is to be praised.

Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.

He raises the poor from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap.

Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.

Who can compare to our God?
Seated high above the nations of the earth, God’s glory fills the skies.

Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.

—based on Psalm 113

 

Come As You Are
Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been
Come broken-hearted, let rescue begin
Come find your mercy, O sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t cure

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are, come as you are
Fall in his arms, come as you are

There’s joy for the morning, O sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

Enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward, worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You’re my coming King, you are ev’rything
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you…

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me

More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

O For a Thousand
O, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of his grace

Jesus, the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears
‘Tis life and health and peace

He breaks the power of cancelled sin
He sets the prisoners free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me

He speaks and listening to his voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe

My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of thy name

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — You Are Love & Love Alone
God and Father, great and holy
Fearing not, we come to thee
Fearing not, though weak lowly
For your love has set us free

And by the blue sky bending over
By the green earth’s flowery home
Teach us, Lord, the angel chorus
You are love and love alone

You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are

Though the worlds in flame should perish
Sun and stars in ruin fall
Trust in thee our hearts should cherish
O Lord, be our all in all

With your name the heavens praising
Angels hymn no sweeter tone
Than the songs our hearts are raising
You are love and love alone

You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are

You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are

How perfectly our hearts are made for love
How perfectly our hearts are made for love
How perfectly our hearts are made for love

You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are

You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are love and love alone
You are

Sermon
“You Are….”
Matthew 5:13-16

 

Prayer of Confession
Father you made us to be your children,
but we rebelled against you.
Turning our backs to you, we gave in to our cravings
for pleasure and control.
We hurt ourselves and others
by our lack of understanding;
and even our worship is stained by our sin.
But now, we look to Jesus to wash us,
to defend us, to take up our cause.
Forgive us we pray, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”

— adapted from Isaiah 1

 

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
