Call to Worship
We are here to worship God.
The love of God welcomes us.
The grace of Christ awaits us.
The joy of the Spirit enfolds us.

We do not come as slaves, for we are truly free.
We do not come as intruders, for we are invited guests.
We do not come as outsiders, for we are much-wanted children.
The love of God emboldens us.
The grace of Christ redeems us.
The joy of the Spirit uplifts us.

Therefore, come as joyful, eager, thankful recipients of amazing grace.
The love of God overflows our hearts.
The grace of Christ liberates our spirits.
The joy of the Spirit sings in our minds.

—Bruce Prewer (edited)

 

Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

John Newton, 1779; Tune, AMAZING GRACE, traditional American melody

 

How Firm a Foundation
How firm a foundation
Ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith
In his excellent Word

What more can he say
Than to you he hath said
To you, who for refuge
To Jesus have fled

Fear not, I am with thee
O be not dismayed
For I am thy God
And will still give thee aid

I’ll strengthen thee, help thee
And cause thee to stand
Upheld by my righteous
Omnipotent hand

When through the deep waters
I call thee to go
The rivers of woe
Shall not thee overflow

For I will be with thee
Thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee
Thy deepest distress

When through fiery trials
Thy pathways shall lie
My grace, all sufficient
Shall be thy supply

The flame shall not hurt thee
I only design
Thy dross to consume
And thy gold to refine

The soul that on Jesus
Hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not
Desert to its foes

That soul, though all hell
Should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never
No never forsake

John Rippon’s Selection of Hymns, 1787, alt. Tune, FOUNDATION, American folk hymn

Sermon
“For He is Kind — ‘Love Your Enemies’”
Luke 6:27-36

 

Prayer of Confession
Holy God and tender Father,
your wonders are too many to number.
Your redemption is beautiful.
Your grace is healing.
While we were still your enemies,
in love, you sent Jesus to die for us.
Be merciful and forgive our sin.
Enable us to love those who don’t love us,
to serve those who don’t care about us,
and to give to those who offer nothing in return,
that the life of Christ may be known and seen,
until he returns and makes all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
Jesus was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God.

— Romans 4:25 – 5:1

Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin

Come today, there’s no reason to wait

Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born
Jesus is calling

The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with

O my soul praise him
For he is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear
Now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord
Who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee
Health hath vouchsafed
And when heedlessly failing, hath stayed thee

What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief
Wings of his mercy did shade thee

Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him

Praise to the Lord
Who, when tempests their warfare are waging
Who, when the elements
Madly around thee are raging

Biddeth them cease
Turneth their fury to peace
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging

Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him

Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath

Sermon
“The Crossroads of Duty & Delight — ‘I Did Not Come to Abolish the Law’”
Matthew 5:17-20

 

Prayer of Confession
Almighty and gracious Father,
who is a God like you,
who pardons iniquity,
and passes over transgression?
Your mercy is greater than our sin,
and your compassion than our unworthiness.
Forgive us and cleanse our hearts.
Free us from enslaving sin,
and torturous self-righteousness.
Grant in us willing spirits,
that love what you love and hate what you hate.
Make us a gracious presence in an ungracious world,
that longs for the bread of love,
from Jesus, our Bread of Life,
until he comes and makes all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
Our assurance of pardon is rooted in this reality, “God has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

—Colossians 1:13-14

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Jesus Died My Soul to Save
I stand amazed at your love for me
That lonely night in Gethsemane
This sinner’s heart can’t help but thrill
To hear you pray, “Father, not my will”

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

Atonement full, applied to me
The blood that spilled at Calvary
Has swallowed all my sin and shame
I’m reconciled, in Jesus’ name

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

O such pleasure, O such pain
The Father’s wrath and fury laid
On Christ whom saints and angels praise
Jesus died my soul to save

Come you broken, bound by sin
And let your weary journey end
Come and lay your burdens down
Where mercy rules and peace abounds

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save
Jesus died my soul to save

—Psalm 72:18-19

 

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Come, thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of God’s unchanging love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I’m come
And I hope, by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandr’ing from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let that grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to thee

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above

O that day, when freed from sinning
I shall see thy lovely face
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing thy sovereign grace

Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
Take my ransomed soul away
Send thine angels, now to carry
Me to realms of endless day

Sermon
“Broken & Poured Out – The Church as Sacrament to the World”
1 Corinthians 11:23-32

 

Prayer of Confession
Gracious and merciful Father,
awesome and exalted, abounding in love.
Fill us with the wonder and praise,
that you alone deserve.
Forgive our sin and renew our spirits.
Break us of sinful pride and unbelief,
and pour us out a healed people,
that reflects the passion and humility of Christ,
to a wounded humanity and fallen world.
Until heaven and earth are one,
and all things are made new.

Assurance of Pardon
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,

—Isaiah 55:7

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Dear Refuge of my Weary Soul
Dear refuge of my weary soul
On thee, when sorrows rise
On thee, when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies

To thee I tell each rising grief
For thou alone canst heal
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel

But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail
And all my hopes decline

Yet gracious God, where shall I flee
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to thee
Though prostrate in the dust

Hast thou not bid me seek thy face
And shall I seek in vain
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain

No still the ear of sovereign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer
O may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Come ye weary, heavy laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry ’til you’re better
You will never come at all

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

Call to Worship
Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.

—Isaiah 12:2

 

To God Be the Glory
To God be the glory, great things he has done
So loved he the world that he gave his own Son
Who yielded his life an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate that all may go in

Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the earth hear his voice
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the people rejoice

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give him the glory, great things he has done

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
To every believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives

Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the earth hear his voice
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the people rejoice

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give him the glory, great things he has done

He has done great things
(He has done great things)
He has done great things
(He has done great things)

He has done great things
(He has done great things)
He has done great things
(He has done great things)

Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give him the glory, great things he has done

“The Washing – The Meaning and Mystery of Christian Baptism”
Colossians 2:6-15

 

Prayer of Confession
Gracious Heavenly Father,
have mercy on us and forgive our sin.
Wash us in bountiful grace,
through Christ our atoning sacrifice,
whose shed blood covers our sin,
and the sin of the world.
Shape us into a gracious people,
who love the broken, serve the weak,
and seek out the least and the lost.
Make us a faithful presence
in this world you created to be good,
until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

 

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again

And as he stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am his and he is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
‘Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

Behold his hands and side
Rich wounds, yet visible above

For thou hast died for me
Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity

The King of Love my Shepherd is
Whose goodness faileth never
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine forever
And he is mine forever

Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he leadeth
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth

Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
The king of love my shepherd is

Lost and foolish, off I strayed
But yet in love he sought me
And on his shoulder gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me

In death’s dark veil, I fear no ill
With thee dear Lord beside me
Thy rod and staff my comfort still
Thy cross before to guide me

Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
The king of love my shepherd is

Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah

Never failing ruler of my heart

Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
The king of love my shepherd is

And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never
Good shepherd may I sing your praise
Within your house forever

Prayer of Confession
God, our Father,
“compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love”
have mercy on us and forgive.
Our sin is ever before us,
and our righteousness is in Christ alone.
Take our broken offerings of praise
and make them acceptable in your sight,

Make us a redeeming presence
of your grace and goodness and peace,
in this world you created to be good,
until heaven and earth are one.

Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross
Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s mountain

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

Near the cross, a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

Near the cross, O Lamb of God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o’er me

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought

The birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white
Declare their maker’s praise

This is my Father’s world
He shines in all that’s fair
In the rustling grass I hear him pass
He speaks to me everywhere

This is my Father’s world
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet

This is my Father’s world
Why should my heart be sad

He Leadeth Me
He leadeth me, O blessed thought
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught
Whate’er I do, where’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me

He leadeth me, he leadeth me
By his own hand he leadeth me
His faithful follower I would be
For by his hand he leadeth me

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom
By waters still, over troubled sea
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me

He leadeth me, he leadeth me
By his own hand he leadeth me
His faithful follower I would be
For by his hand he leadeth me

Lord, I would place my hand in thine
Nor ever murmur nor repine
Content, whatever lot I see
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me

He leadeth me, he leadeth me
By his own hand he leadeth me
His faithful follower I would be
For by his hand he leadeth me

And when my task on earth is done
When by thy grace the vict’ry’s won
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee
Since God through Jordan leadeth me

He leadeth me, he leadeth me
By his own hand he leadeth me
His faithful follower I would be
For by his hand he leadeth me

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — My Victory
You came for criminals and ev’ry Pharisee
You came for hypocrites, even one like me

You carried sin and shame, the guilt of ev’ry man
The weight of all I’ve done nailed into your hands

Oh, your love bled for me
Oh, your blood in crimson streams
Oh, your death is Hell’s defeat
A cross meant to kill is my victory

Oh, your amazing grace, I’ve seen and tasted it
It’s running through my veins, I can’t escape its grip
In you my soul is safe, you cover ev’rything

Oh, your love bled for me
Oh, your blood in crimson streams
Oh, your death is Hell’s defeat
A cross meant to kill is my victory

Behold the Lamb of God
Who takes away our sin, who takes away our sin

The holy Lamb of God
Makes us alive again, makes us alive again

Behold the Lamb of God
Who takes away our sin, who takes away our sin

The holy Lamb of God
Makes us alive again, makes us alive again

Oh, your love bled for me
Oh, your blood in crimson streams
Oh, your death is Hell’s defeat
A cross meant to kill is my victory
Oh, a cross meant to kill is my victory

Sermon
“Tender Strength”
Psalm 37:8-11

 

Prayer of Confession
Father in Heaven,
tender and loving, mighty and true.
From everlasting to everlasting,
you are God, and in Jesus, we are yours.
Forgive our sins. They are many.
We are in need of cleansing grace,
and the renewing power of your Spirit.
Find us where we hide,
and expose where we are weak.
Break through our barriers of self,
and fear and false righteousness.
Heal our hurts, calm our fears,
and relieve our sorrows.
Make us a loving presence
in this world you created to be good,
until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

—1 John 1:9:

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Savior, like a shepherd lead us
Much we need thy tender care
In thy pleasant pastures feed us
For our use thy folds prepare

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Thou hast bought, thine we are
(repeat)

We are thine, thou dost befriend us
Be the guardian of our way
Keep thy flock, from sin defend us
Seek us when we go astray

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Hear, O hear us when we pray
(repeat)

Thou hast promised to receive us
Poor and sinful though we be
Thou hast mercy to relieve us
Grace to cleanse and power to free

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
We will early turn to thee
(repeat)

Early let us seek thy favor
Early let us do thy will
Blessed Lord and Savior
With thy love our bosoms fill

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Thou hast loved us, love us still

The Solid Rock
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness veils his lovely face
I rest on his unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

His oath, his covenant, his blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay

When he shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

Edward Mote 1834, Tune, SOLID ROCK, William B. Bradbury CCLI 241710

 

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

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — I Am Not Alone
When I walk through deep waters
I know that you will be with me
When I’m standing in the fire
I will not be overcome
Through the valley of the shadow, I will not fear

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

In the midst of deep sorrow
I see your light is breaking through
The dark of night will not overtake me
I am pressing into you
Lord, you fight my ev’ry battle and I will not fear

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

You amaze me, redeem me
You call me as your own
You amaze me, redeem me
You call me as your own

You’re my strength, you’re my defender
You’re my refuge in the storm
Through these trials you’ve always been faithful
You bring healing to my soul

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow
Of turning with thee

Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As thou hast been
Thou forever will be

Summer and winter
And springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars
In their courses above

Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see

All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thy own dear presence
To cheer and to guide

Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine
With ten thousand beside

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see

All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Sermon
“As You Have Believed”
Matthew 8:5-13

 

Prayer of Confession
“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!”
Holy, gracious and kind,
are you God, our Father.
When we are weak, you are strong.
When we fail, you are merciful.
When we are faint, you are mighty.
Though we are unworthy, you are faithful.
Forgive us our sins, and cleanse our hearts
from wicked motives and impure thoughts.
Restore us and make us a sweet aroma
that reflects your loving presence,
before a broken world that longs for hope and peace.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
“For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”

— Romans 5:10, 11

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Come As You Are
Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been
Come broken-hearted, let rescue begin
Come find your mercy, O sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t cure

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are, come as you are
Fall in his arms, come as you are

There’s joy for the morning, O sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

To him who loves us

—Revelation 1:5-6

 

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder
Let us love and sing and wonder
Let us praise the Savior’s name
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame

Let us love the Lord who bought us
Pitied us when enemies
Called us by his grace and taught us
Gave us ears and gave us eyes

He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He presents our souls to God

Let us wonder, grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store
When through grace in Christ our trust is
Justice smiles and asks no more

He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
Has secured our way to God

Let us praise, and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high
Here they trusted him before us
Now their praises fill the sky

He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He will bring us home to God

And where you are Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need you, O I need you

Teach my song to rise to you
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on you
