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

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

Christ is Risen
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you’ve bled for us
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
O, death, where is your sting?
O, hell, where is your victory?
O, church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, he’s alive, he’s alive
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — Once and For All
God I give you all I can today
These scattered ashes that I hid away
I lay them all at your feet
From the corners of my deepest shame
The empty places where I’ve worn your name
Show me the love I say I believe
Help me to lay it down
O Lord, I lay it down
O, let this be where I die
My Lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my kingdoms fall
Once and for all, once and for all
There is victory in my Savior’s loss
In the crimson flowing from the cross
Pour over me, pour over me
O let this be where I die
My Lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my kingdoms fall
Once and for all, once and for all
O Lord, I lay it down
O Lord, I lay it down
Help me to lay it down
O Lord, I lay it down
O let this be where I die
My Lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my kingdoms fall
Once and for all, once and for all
Once and for all, once and for all

Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Son of God and Son of man
Thee will I cherish
Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown
Fair are the meadows
Fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring
Jesus is fairer
Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing
Fair is the sunshine
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host
Jesus shines brighter
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast
Beautiful Savior
Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of man
Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine

Sermon
“The Law of Love, Pt. 2”
Romans 13:11-14
Prayer of Confession
Lord God, have mercy on us and forgive our sins.
Make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may seek
to console, understand, and love those around us,
until you return to make all things new. Amen.
—based on a prayer attributed to St. Francis (1182-1226)
Assurance of Pardon
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
— Psalm 103:8-12
The Lord’s Supper
Nothing But The Blood
To the sinners ears it may sound strange
That freedom could be found through death and pain
Why sinless perfection took the blame
But hallelujah
For our pardon it would take the cross
Salvation paid for at the highest cost
Our redemption gained at Heaven’s loss
Oh hallelujah
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood
There is nothing strong enough to stand
Against what love has done with outstretched hands
For now salvation flows for every man
Oh hallelujah
Whosoever calls upon this name
Will find their guilt and burden rolled away
They’ll rise up to their feet forever changed
Singing hallelujah
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood
Every chain and fetter broken
Just one drop can make us clean
There is nothing it can’t rescue and redeem
It has triumphed over darkness
Crushing every enemy
Bringing healing, bringing freedom, bringing peace
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood
Oh the blood of Jesus
