Song Lyrics and Readings

Call to Worship

Let us worship God, our light and our salvation.

The Lord is the stronghold of our lives.

We desire to live in God’s house

and to seek God in his holy temple.

We have come with shouts of joy,

to sing and to make music to the Lord.

Let us worship God in spirit and in truth.

Teach us your ways and make straight our paths

in this hour of worship and always.

 

The Wonderful Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died

My richest gain I count but loss

And pour contempt on all my pride

 

See from His head, His hands, His feet

Sorrow and love flow mingled down

Did e’er such love and sorrow meet

Or thorns compose so rich a crown

 

O the wonderful cross

O the wonderful cross

Bids me come and die

And find that I may truly live

O the wonderful cross

O the wonderful cross

All who gather here by grace

Draw near and bless your name

 

Were the whole realm of nature mine

That were an offering far too small

Love so amazing so divine

Demands my soul, my life, my all

 

Love Ran Red – At the Cross

There’s a place

where mercy reigns and never dies.

There’s a place

where streams of grace

flow deep and wide.

Where all the love

I’ve ever found comes like a flood,

Comes flowing down.

 

At the cross, at the cross I surrender my life,

I’m in awe of You, I’m in awe of You.

Where Your love ran red

and my sin washed white.

I owe all to You, I owe all to You, Jesus.

 

There’s a place

where sin and shame are powerless.

There my heart

has peace with God and forgiveness.

Where all the love

I’ve ever found comes like a flood,

Comes flowing down.

 

Here my hope is found,

here on holy ground.

Here I bow down, here I bow down.

Here, arms open wide,

here You saved my life.

Here I bow down, here I bow.

 

Confession of Sin

Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.

Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!

If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

 

Assurance of Pardon

There is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;

my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning,

more than those who watch for the morning.

O Israel, hope in the LORD!

For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is great power to redeem.

It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

 

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.

 

Behold the Lamb (Communion Hymn)

Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away

Slain for us: and we remember

The promise made that all who come in faith

Find forgiveness at the cross

So we share in this Bread of life

And we drink of His sacrifice

As a sign of our bonds of peace

Around the table of the King

 

The body of our Savior, Jesus Christ

Torn for you: eat and remember

The wounds that heal,

the death that brings us life

Paid the price to make us one

So we share in this Bread of life

And we drink of His sacrifice

As a sign of our bonds of love

Around the table of the King

 

The blood that cleanses every stain of sin

Shed for you: drink and remember

He drained death’s cup that all may enter in

To receive the life of God

So we share in this Bread of life

And we drink of His sacrifice

As a sign of our bonds of grace

Around the table of the King

 

And so with thankfulness and faith

We rise to respond: and to remember

Our call to follow in the steps of Christ

As His body here on earth

As we share in His suffering

We proclaim: Christ will come again

And we’ll join in the feast of heaven

Around the table of the King

 

Blessing

May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely;

and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound

and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
