Call to Worship
I will sing forever about the Lord’s love.
I will sing about his faithfulness forever and ever!
—Psalm 89:1
Thy Mercy
Hallelujah
Thy mercy, my God
Is the theme of my song
The joy of my heart
And the boast of my tongue
Thy free grace alone
From the first to the last
Hath won my affection
And bound my soul fast
Without thy sweet mercy
I could not live here
Sin would reduce me
To utter despair
But through thy free goodness
My spirit’s revived
And he that first made me
Still keeps me alive
Thy mercy is more
Than a match for my heart
Which wonders to feel
Its own hardness depart
Dissolved by thy goodness
I fall to the ground
And weep for the praise
Of the mercy I’ve found
Great Father of mercies
Thy goodness I own
In the covenant love
Of thy crucified Son
All praise to the Spirit
Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy and pardon
And righteousness mine
Hallelujah

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee
Joyful, joyful we adore thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee
Opening to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day
All thy works with joy surround thee
Earth and heav’n reflect thy rays
Stars and angels sing around thee
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in thee
Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning o’er us
Brother love binds man to man
Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life

This is Amazing Grace
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross
You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me
Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory
Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross
You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross
You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — Alive in You
From beginning to the end
All my life is in your hands
This whole world may hold me down
But it can never drown you out
I’m not merely flesh and bone
I was made for something more
You are God
You’re the Great I AM
Breath of life I breathe you in
Even in the fire I’m alive in you
You are strong in my brokenness
Sovereign over every step
Even in the fire
I’m alive, I’m alive in you
Through the dark I hear your voice
Rising up I will rejoice
For I was lost but now I’m found
‘Cause even death can’t hold you down
You are God
You’re the Great I AM
Breath of life I breathe you in
Even in the fire I’m alive in you
You are strong in my brokenness
Sovereign over every step
Even in the fire
I’m alive, I’m alive in you
It’s no longer I who live
But Christ who lives within me
Christ who lives within me
From beginning to the end
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory
It’s no longer I who live
But Christ who lives within me
Christ who lives within me
From beginning to the end
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory
You are God
You’re the Great I AM
Breath of life, I breathe you in
Even in the fire I’m alive in you
You are strong in my brokenness
Sovereign over every step
Even in the fire
I’m alive, I’m alive in you

Sermon
“We Will Play Music — Hope”
Isaiah 38:9-20
Prayer of Confession
Gracious and Almighty God,
we come to you, hearts humbled,
confessing our sin.
We chase after frivolous things;
we worry about tomorrow;
we live and act as if your promises aren’t true;
we place our trust only in what we can touch and see.
Father, grant us the grace to put our hope and trust in you,
for you alone provide all we could ever need.
Thank you for your unending mercy.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.
— Acts 3:19
The Lord’s Supper
Be Thou My Vision
Be thou my vision
O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me
Save that thou art
Thou my best thought
By day or by night
Waking or sleeping
Thy presence my light
Be thou my wisdom
And thou my true word
I ever with thee
And thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father
I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling
And I with thee one
Riches I heed not
Nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance
Now and always
Thou and thou only
First in my heart
High King of heaven
My treasure thou art
High King of heaven
My victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys
O bright heav’ns Son
Heart of my own heart
Whatever befall
Still be my vision
O ruler of all
