WORSHIP – April 22, 2018

Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
Praise be to you, Lord,
the God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.

Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.

Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.

Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.

—I Chronicles 29:10-11, 13

 

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Zion, city of our God
He, whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for his own abode

On the Rock of Ages founded
What can shake thy sure repose
With salvation’s walls surrounded
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes

See, the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love
Well supply thy sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove

Who can faint while such a river
Ever will their thirst assuage
Grace which like the Lord, the giver
Never fails from age to age

Blest inhabitants of Zion
Washed in our Redeemer’s blood
Jesus, whom our souls rely on
Makes us monarchs, priests to God

Us, by his great love, he raises
Rulers over self to reign
And as priests his solemn praises
We for thankful offering bring

Savior, if of Zion’s city
I through grace a member am
Let the world deride or pity
I will glory in thy name

Fading is the worldling’s pleasure
All his boasted pomp and show
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion’s children know

John Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779 Tune, AUSTRIA arr. Franz J. Haydn, 1797, possibly from a Croatian folk melody) CCLI 241710

 

Blessed Be Your Name
Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be your name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Glory is Yours
Blessing, honor, strength, and power
Yours alone now and forever
Love this world could never stop
There is no one like our God

Reaching down to touch the broken
Mercy breaking through this moment
Faithful is the one who saves
Worthy is your name

Oh God, the glory is yours
The Kingdom has come and the battle is over
Jesus, in your name we rise
And the glory is yours, the glory is yours

Throngs and angels watch in wonder
On that day when time is over
Every heart at last proclaim
“Worthy is your name!”

Oh God, the glory is yours
The Kingdom has come and the battle is over
Jesus, in your name we rise
And the glory is yours, the glory is yours

Oh God, the glory is yours
The Kingdom has come and the battle is over
Jesus, in your name we rise
And the glory is yours, the glory is yours

Nobody beside you
There has never been anyone, anything like you
Nobody beside you
There has never been anyone, anything like you

Nobody beside you
There has never been anyone, anything like you
Nobody beside you
There has never been anyone, anything like you

Nobody beside you
There will never be anyone, anything like you
Nobody beside you
There will never be anyone, anything like you

Oh God, the glory is yours
The Kingdom has come and the battle is over
Jesus, in your name we rise
And the glory is yours, the glory is yours

Oh God, the glory is yours
The Kingdom has come and the battle is over
Jesus, in your name we rise
And the glory is yours, the glory is yours

Oh God, the glory is yours
The Kingdom has come and the battle is over
Jesus, in your name we rise
And the glory is yours, the glory is yours

For the Lamb
On a shameful day he died
In the sorrow of defeat
But forgiveness was his cry
As his blood ran down for me

How the Father’s heart was torn
As his only Son was slain
But the earth would soon rejoice
From the place where hope was lain

For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise, we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world

By his Spirit we are raised
To the fullness of new life
In a moment we’ll be changed
And forever glorified

For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise, we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world

Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together

Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together

For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world

For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome the world

Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together

Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together

Sermon
All the Faith You Need
Romans 12:1-3

 

Prayer of Confession
Our Father,
have mercy on us.
We have not sought freedom for the oppressed,
even though you have freed us.
We have not cared for the broken,
even though you have healed us.
We withhold compassion from the needy,
even though you freely gave us your own Son.
We are without excuse – forgive us.
Thank you for Jesus, in whose death and resurrection
we find hope, grace, and forgiveness.
Through Him, Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.

— Psalm 32:1-2

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

O Sacred Head
O sacred Head, now wounded
With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns thine only crown

O sacred Head
What glory, what bliss till now was thine
Yet, though despised and gory, I joy
I joy to call thee mine

What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners’ gain
All mine was the transgression
But thine the deadly pain

Lo, here I fall, my Savior
Tis I deserve thy place
Look on me with thy favor, vouchsafe
Vouchsafe to me thy grace

My Savior, be thou near me
When death is at my door
Then let thy presence cheer me
Forsake me nevermore

When soul and body languish
Oh, leave me not alone
But take away my anguish
By virtue of thine

What language shall I borrow
To thank thee, dearest Friend
For this thy dying sorrow
Thy pity without end

O make me thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me ne’er outlive my love
Outlive my love to thee

Bernard of Clairvaux, Hans Leo Hassler, James Waddell Alexander, Paulus Gerhardt, Chris Reid © 2016 Chris Reid CCLI 241710

 

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen

Thomas Ken, Tune – OLD HUNDREDTH, Genevan Psalter (1551) attr. to Louis Bourgeois
