Song Lyrics and Readings

Call to Worship

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

for his steadfast love endures forever!

Let Israel say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

Let the house of Aaron say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

Let those who fear the LORD say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

 

I Sing the Mighty Power of God

I sing the mighty power of God

That made the mountains rise

That spread the flowing seas abroad

And built the lofty skies

I sing the wisdom that ordained

The sun to rule the day

The moon shines full at His command

And all the stars obey

 

I sing the goodness of the Lord,

That filled the earth with food

He formed the creatures with His word

And then pronounced them good

Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed

Wherever I turn my eye

If I survey the ground I tread

Or gaze upon the sky

 

There’s not a plant or flower below,

But makes Thy glories known

And clouds arise and tempests blow

By order from Thy throne

While all that borrows life from Thee

Is ever in Thy care

And everywhere that man can be

Thou, God, art present there

 

All Hail the Power

All hail the pow’r 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

 

Lord of all

You are Lord of all

Lord of all

You are Lord of all

 

Let ev’ry kindred ev’ry 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

 

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision, O lord of my heart

Naught be all else to me

save that Thou art

Thou my best thought, by day or by night

Waking or sleeping thy Presence my light.

 

Be Thou my Wisdom

and Thou my true Word

I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord

Thou my great Father, I Thy true son

Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one.

 

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise

Thou mine inheritance, now and always

Thou and Thou only, first in my heart

High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art

 

High King of heaven my victory won

May I reach heaven’s joys

O bright heav’n’s Sun

Heart of my own heart whatever befall

Still be my Vision O Ruler of all.

 

Confession of Sin

Have mercy on me, O God,

according to your steadfast love;

according to your abundant mercy

blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,

and cleanse me from my sin!

For I know my transgressions,

and my sin is ever before me.

Against you, you only, have I sinned

and done what is evil in your sight

 

Assurance of Pardon

O Lord, open my lips,

and my mouth will declare your praise.

For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;

you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

 

The Power of the Cross

Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day

Christ on the road to Calvary

Tried by sinful men

Torn and beaten then

Nailed to a cross of wood

 

This the power of the cross

Christ became sin for us

Took the blame bore the wrath

We stand forgiven at the cross

 

Oh to see the pain written on Your face

Bearing the awesome weight of sin

Ev’ry bitter thought ev’ry evil deed

Crowning Your blood stained brow

 

Now the daylight flees, now the ground beneath

Quakes as its Maker bows His head

Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life

Finished the vict’ry cry

 

Oh to see my name written in the wounds

For through Your suff’ring I am free

Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live

Won through Your selfless love

 

This the power of the cross

Son of God slain for us

What a love, what a cost

We stand forgiven at the cross

 

Blessing

You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;

you are my God; I will extol you.

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

for his steadfast love endures forever!
