WORSHIP – September 16, 2018

Rescuer
He’s our Rescuer
He’s our Rescuer

We are free from sin forevermore

Oh how sweet the sound
Oh how grace abounds

We will praise the Lord our Rescuer

There is good news for the captive
Good news for the shamed

There is good news
For the one who walked away

There is good news for the doubter
The one religion failed

For the good Lord has come to seek and save

He’s our Rescuer… hey!
He’s our Rescuer… hey!

We are free from sin forevermore

Oh how sweet the sound… hey!
Oh how grace abounds… hey!

We will praise the Lord our Rescuer

He is beauty for the blind man
Riches for the poor

He is friendship for the one the world ignores

He is pasture for the weary
Rest for those who strive

Oh the good Lord is the way, the truth, the life

Yes the good Lord is the way, the truth, the life

He’s our Rescuer… hey!
He’s our Rescuer… hey!

We are free from sin forevermore

Oh how sweet the sound… hey!
Oh how grace abounds… hey!

We will praise the Lord our Rescuer

So come and be chainless
Come and be fearless
Come to the foot of Calvary

There is redemption for every affliction
Here at the foot of Calvary

So come and be chainless
Come and be fearless
Come to the foot of Calvary

There is redemption for every affliction
Here at the foot of Calvary

He’s our Rescuer… hey!
He’s our Rescuer… hey!

We are free from sin forevermore

Oh how sweet the sound… hey!
Oh how grace abounds… hey!

We will praise the Lord our Rescuer

We will praise the Lord our Rescuer

All Hail the Power of Jesus Name
All hail the power of Jesus’ name
Let angels prostrate fall

Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all

Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all

Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race
Ye ransomed from the fall

Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all

Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all

Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball

To him all majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all

To him all majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all

O that, with yonder sacred throng
We at his feet may fall

We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all

We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all

How Great is Our God
The splendor of a King
Clothed in majesty

Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps himself in light
And darkness tries to hide

And trembles at his voice
And trembles at his voice

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see

How great, how great is our God

Age to age he stands
And time is in his hands

Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End

The Godhead, three in one
Father, Spirit, Son

The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see

How great, how great is our God

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise

My heart will sing
How great is our God

Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to thee

How great thou art
How great thou art

Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to thee

How great thou art
How great thou art

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see

How great, how great is our God

Sermon
“In the Beginning”
Genesis 1:1

 

Prayer of Confession
Father, your rule is just, and your love eternal.
Through your grace, you have made us your children,
but we have rebelled, turning away from you.
We have hurt ourselves and others
through our carelessness and misunderstanding.
Forgive our transgressions,
and cleanse us from unrighteousness.
Replace our fear with love, and our anxiety with trust.
Restore in us a vision of justice and peace,
that we may live in your hope and joy.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

— Romans 8:38-39

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

O Praise the Name (Anastasis)
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me

I see his wounds, his hands, his feet
My Savior on that cursed tree

His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid him down in Joseph’s tomb

The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone

O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise his name forever more

For endless days we will sing your praise
O Lord, O Lord our God

Then on the third at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again

O trampled death, where is your sting
The angels roar for Christ the King

O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise his name forever more

For endless days we will sing your praise
O Lord, O Lord our God

He shall return in robes of white
The blazing Son shall pierce the night

And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face

O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise his name forever more

For endless days we will sing your praise
O Lord, O Lord our God

O Lord, O Lord our God

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
