Song Lyrics and Readings

Call to Worship

We have gathered to praise our gracious God

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!

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.

 

Indescribable

From the highest of heights

to the depths of the sea,

Creation’s revealing Your majesty.

From the colors of Fall

to the fragrance of Spring,

Ev’ry creature unique in the song that it sings.

All exclaiming:

 

Indescribable, uncontainable;

You placed the stars in the sky,

and You know them by name.

You are amazing, God;

All powerful, untamable;

Awestruck, we fall to our knees

as we humbly proclaim:

“You are amazing, God!”

 

Who has told ev’ry lightning bolt

where it should go,

Or seen heavenly storehouses

laden with snow?

 

Who imagined the sun

and gives source to its light,

Yet conceals it to bring us

the coolness of night?

None can fathom!

 

(last time)

Indescribable, uncontainable;

You placed the stars in the sky,

and You know them by name.

You are amazing, God;

Incomp’rable, unchangeable;

You see the depths of my heart

and You love me the same.

You are amazing, God!

You are amazing, God!

 

God of Wonders

Lord of all creation, of water, earth and sky;

The heavens are your tabernacle,

Glory to the Lord on high!

 

God of wonders beyond our galaxy,

You are holy, holy.

The universe declares Your majesty.

You are holy, holy,

Lord of heaven and earth.

Lord of heaven and earth

 

Early in the morning I will celebrate the light.

When I stumble in the darkness,

I will call your name by night.

 

Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth!

Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth!

Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth!

 

God of wonders beyond our galaxy,

You are holy, holy.

Precious Lord, reveal Your heart to me.

Father hold me, hold me.

The universe declares Your majesty.

You are holy, holy.

Holy, holy!

 

Immortal, Invisible

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

In light inaccessible, hid from our eyes

Most blessed most glorious

The Ancient of Days

Almighty victorious

Thy great name we praise

 

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light

Nor wanting, nor wasting,

Thou rulest in might

Thy justice, like mountains

High soaring above

Thy clouds which are fountains

Of goodness and love

 

Most blessed Lord,

Most glorious One!

Most blessed Lord,

Most glorious One!

 

To all life Thou givest

To both great and small

In all life Thou livest

The true life of all

We blossom and flourish

As leaves on the tree

And wither and perish

But naught changeth Thee

 

Great father of Glory

Pure Father of Light

Thine angels adore Thee

All veiling their sight

All praise we would render

Oh help us to see

‘Tis only the splendor

Of light hideth Thee

 

He Will Hold Me Fast

When I fear my faith will fail

Christ will hold me fast

When the tempter would prevail

He will hold me fast

I could never keep my hold

Through life’s fearful path

For my love is often cold

He must hold me fast

 

He will hold me fast

He will hold me fast

For my Savior loves me so

He will hold me fast

 

Those He saves are His delight

Christ will hold me fast

Precious in His holy sight

He will hold me fast

He’ll not let my soul be lost

His Promises shall last

Bought by Him at such a cost

He will hold me fast

 

For my life He bled and died

Christ will hold me fast

Justice has been satisfied

He will hold me fast

Raised with Him to endless life

He will hold me fast

Till our faith is turned to sight

When He comes at last

 

Blessing

May the grace of Christ, which daily renews us,

and the love of God, which enables us to love all,

and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, which unites us in one body,

make us eager to obey the will of God until we meet again,

through Jesus Christ our Lord.
