WORSHIP – May 27, 2018

Welcome & Announcements

 

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

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

One thought on “WORSHIP – May 27, 2018

  1. Shirley Redd's avatar Shirley Redd says:

    Chris, do you think there will come a day when our whole worship service will be on line including the music. I think that is something worth shooting for, depending, of course, on how costly it is. I know when I miss service I look at the worship service and try to sing the music in my mind, but sometimes I just don’t know the tune off hand. It would be a real blessing, I believe, especially for those who are sick with long term illnesses, etc.
