Call to Worship
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
—Psalm 63:3-4
Rejoice
Come and stand before your Maker
Full of wonder, full of fear
Come behold his power and glory
Yet with confidence draw near
For the one who holds the heavens
And commands the stars above
Is the God who bends to bless us
With an unrelenting love
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice
We are children of the promise
The beloved of the Lord
Won with everlasting kindness
Bought with sacrificial blood
Bringing reconciliation
To a world that longs to know
The affections of a Father
Who will never let them go
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice
All our sickness, all our sorrows
Jesus carried up the hill
He has walked this path before us
He is walking with us still
Turning tragedy to triumph
Turning agony to praise
There is blessing in the battle
So take heart and stand amazed
Rejoice!
When you cry to him
He hears your voice
He will wipe away your tears
Rejoice!
In the midst of suffering
He will help you sing…
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice

One and Only
Who spoke and taught the sun to rise
Whose lips proclaimed the birth of light
Who sparked the kindling of stars
And set the fire in our hearts
Who sang as planets learned their dance
Who poured the oceans from his hands
Whose breath awakened life from dust
And leaves me breathless at his touch
Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone
Who is this man upon a cross
Who left his throne to ransom us
Who died to save us at our worst
And rose to give us heaven’s best
You rose to give us heaven’s best
Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours
My Savior, Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone
We will watch the bridegroom come
And heaven breaking like the dawn
All dressed in white, our shame is gone
We’re free to dance before your throne
Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours
My Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone

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
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — It Is Well
Grander earth has quaked before
Moved by the sound of his voice
Seas that are shaken and stirred
Can be calmed and broken for my regard
Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
Through it all, through it all it is well
Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
And it is well with me
Far be it from me to not believe
Even when my eyes can’t see
And this mountain that’s in front of me
Will be thrown into the midst of the sea
Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
Through it all, through it all it is well
Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
And it is well with me
So let go my soul and trust in him
The waves and wind still know his name
So let go my soul and trust in him
The waves and wind still know his name
So let go my soul and trust in him
The waves and wind still know his name
The waves and wind still know his name
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
Through it all, through it all it is well
Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
And it is well with me

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

Sermon
“Because We Are His”
Romans 12:9-13
Prayer of Confession
Father, we confess to you and to one another
that we have sinned by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have failed to love you
with our whole heart, mind, and strength.
We have failed to love our neighbors as ourselves.
We have chosen selfish desires instead of living for you.
Instead of drinking from your Living Water,
we attempt to satisfy ourselves, and are left thirsty and empty.
Forgive and renew us by the grace and power of your Holy Spirit.
Through Jesus, Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
— I John 2:1-2
The Lord’s Supper
How Deep the Father’s Love
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That he should give his only Son
To make a wretch his treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns his face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon his shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from his reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
Why should I gain from his reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
