Call to Worship
The Lord is King forever and ever.
The Lord reigns,
he is robed in majesty and armed with strength.
For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.
Great is the Lord in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.
Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his holy mountain,
for the Lord our God is holy.
—based on Psalm 10, 93, 97, and 99
This is My Father’s World
This is my Father’s world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres
This is my Father’s world
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought
This is my Father’s world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white
Declare their maker’s praise
This is my Father’s world
He shines in all that’s fair
In the rustling grass I hear him pass
He speaks to me everywhere
This is my Father’s world
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet
This is my Father’s world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring
God reigns, let the earth be glad
This is my Father’s world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring
God reigns, let the earth be glad

The Earth is Yours
Your voice it thunders
The oaks start twisting
The forest sounds with cedars breaking
The waters see you
And start their writhing
From the depths a song is rising
Now it’s rising from the ground…
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
Your voice it thunders
The ground is shaking
The mighty mountains now are trembling
Creation sees you
And starts composing
The fields and trees, they start rejoicing
Now it’s rising from the ground
Now it’s rising from the ground
Hear us crying out…
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
The earth is yours

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — Come Lord Jesus
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come again to claim your own
Come to reap what you have sown
All creation weeps and groans for you
It’s to you that we belong
It’s to you we lift our song
How our spirits look and long for you
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Like a thief in dead of night
Come our everlasting light
Let your brilliance shame the brightest day
With your voice like endless seas
Wielding swords and stars and keys
Bring the nations to their knees we pray
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
For though fitful is our flame
You’re from age to age the same
Jesus, faithful is your name and true
So until the sun does rise
Till your trumpets rend the skies
Help us keep our restless eyes on you
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come

Unto Your Name
Love undeserved and unheard of
As majesty left heaven’s throne
Your riches exchanged for a cross
You carried for us
Matchless in gracious compassion
Mighty in power to save
Clothed in the sorrows of sin
For the glory of our God
For the glory of our God
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all
Love undeserved and unheard of
As majesty left heaven’s throne
Clothed in the sorrows of sin
For the glory of our God
For the glory of our God
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all
The heavens that shout our God is holy
Now flooding the earth with kindness and mercy
Together declare your grace so amazing
You alone are good
The heavens that shout our God is holy
Now flooding the earth with kindness and mercy
Together declare your grace so amazing
You alone are good
You alone are good
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all

How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(repeat)
And when I think that God
His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die
I scarce can take it in
That on the cross
My burden gladly bearing
He bled and died
To take away my sin
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(repeat)
When Christ shall come
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim
“My God, how great thou art”
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(repeat)

Sermon
“The Hardest Grace — David & His Enemy”
2 Samuel 19:16-23
Prayer of Confession
God, you have searched us,
and you know us.
You know what we think,
what we say, and what we do.
We confess that our thoughts
are not always for your glory;
that our words do not always build up others;
that our deeds do not always honor you.
For the sake of your son Jesus,
have mercy on us and forgive us.
Cleanse us from all our offensive ways,
and lead us in the way everlasting.
Through Jesus we pray, Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me.
— Jeremiah 33:8
The Lord’s Supper
Man of Sorrows
Man of sorrows Lamb of God
By his own betrayed
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid
Silent as he stood accused
Beaten, mocked, and scorned
Bowing to the Father’s will
He took a crown of thorns
O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee
Sent of heaven God’s own Son
To purchase and redeem
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed him to that tree
O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee
Now my debt is paid
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled
Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free
O, is free indeed
Now my debt is paid
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled
Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free
O, is free indeed
O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee
See the stone is rolled away
Behold the empty tomb
Hallelujah God be praised
He’s risen from the grave
O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee
