Readings and Worship Lyrics

Call to Worship

I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever;

with my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations.

For I said, “Steadfast love will be built up forever;

in the heavens You will establish your faithfulness.”

You have said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one;

I have sworn to David My servant:

‘I will establish your offspring forever,

and build your throne for all generations.’”

O magnify the Lord with me,

And let us exalt His name together!

 

Come Christians, Join to Sing

Come Christians, join to sing

Alleluia! Amen!

Loud praise to Christ our King

Alleluia! Amen!

Let all, with heart and voice

Before His throne rejoice

Praise is His gracious choice

Alleluia! Amen!

 

Come lift your hearts on high

Alleluia! Amen!

Let praises fill the sky;

Alleluia! Amen!

He is our Guide and Friend

To us He’ll condescend

His love shall never end

Alleluia! Amen!

 

Praise yet our Christ again

Alleluia! Amen!

Life shall not end the strain;

Alleluia! Amen!

On heaven’s blissful shore

His goodness we’ll adore

Singing forever more,

Alleluia! Amen!

 

Agnus Dei

Alleluia, alleluia

For the Lord God Almighty reigns

Alleluia, alleluia

For the Lord God Almighty reigns

Alleluia!

 

Holy, holy!

Are You Lord God Almighty

Worthy is the Lamb

Worthy is the Lamb

You are holy, holy

Are You Lord God Almighty

Worthy is the Lamb

Worthy is the Lamb, Amen

 

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father
Mighty and eternal Lord
He alone is the Creator
Forming all things by His word
I believe in our Lord Jesus
God’s own Son who came to earth
Born a man by the Spirit
By a virgin given birth

 

Sing praise to the Father
To the Spirit and the Son
Sing praise to our holy God
Forever three in one

 

I believe that Jesus suffered
On the cross He bore my shame
I believe that He was buried
Then triumphant rose again
Glorified He has ascended
Seated at the Father’s side
He will come again in judgement
Justice will be satisfied

 

I believe the Holy Spirit
Comes to us from Christ above
I believe the church is holy
One communion in God’s love
I believe I am forgiven
Through the sacrifice of Christ
I believe in resurrection
And in everlasting life

 

 

Confession of Sin

Remember Your mercy, O LORD, and Your steadfast love,

for they have been from of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;

according to Your steadfast love remember me,

for the sake of Your goodness, O LORD!

Good and upright is the LORD;

therefore He instructs sinners in the way.

For Your name’s sake, O LORD,

pardon my guilt, for it is great.

Turn to me and be gracious to me,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

Consider my affliction and my trouble,

and forgive all my sins.

 

Not In Me

No list of sins I have not done,

no list of virtues I pursue,

No list of those I am not like

can earn myself a place with you.

O God! Be merciful to me.

I am a sinner through and through.

My only hope of righteousness

is not in me, but only you

 

No humble dress, no fervent prayer,

no lifted hands no tearful song,

No recitation of the truth

can justify a single wrong.

My righteousness is Jesus’ life.

My debt was paid by Jesus death.

My weary load was borne by him,

and He alone can give me rest.

 

No separation from the world,

no work I do, no gift I give

Can cleanse my conscience,

cleanse my hands,

I cannot cause my soul to live.

But Jesus died and rose again.

The pow’r of death is overthrown!

My God is merciful to me

and merciful in Christ alone.

 

My righteousness is Jesus’ life.

My debt was paid by Jesus death.

My weary load was borne by him,

And He alone can give me rest,

Yes, He alone can give me rest.

 

Assurance of Pardon

The LORD is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

He will not always chide,

nor will He keep His anger forever.

He does not deal with us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him;

as far as the east is from the west,

so far does He remove our transgressions from us.

As a father shows compassion to his children,

so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear Him.

 

I Will Sing of My Redeemer

I will sing of my Redeemer

And His wondrous love for me

On the cruel cross He suffered

From the curse to set me free

 

Sing, oh sing of my Redeemer

With His blood He purchased me

On the cross He sealed my pardon

Paid the debt and made me free

 

I will tell the wondrous story

How my lost estate to save

In His boundless love and mercy

He the ransom freely gave

 

I will praise my dear Redeemer

His triumphant pow’r I’ll tell

How the victory He giveth

Over sin and death and hell

 

Blessing

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
