Call to Worship
It is good to praise the Lord and make music to Your name, O Most High, proclaiming Your love in the morning and Your faithfulness at night.
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 His name I’m fixed upon it
Name of God’s redeeming love.
Hitherto Thy love has blest me
Thou hast brought me to this place
And I know Thy hand will lead me
Safely home by Thy good grace
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Bought me with His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering 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.
Across the Lands
You’re the Word of God the Father
From before the world began
Ev’ry star and ev’ry planet
Has been fashioned by Your hand
All creation holds together
By the power of Your voice
Let the skies declare Your glory
Let the land and seas rejoice!
You’re the author of creation
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man
And Your cry of love rings out
Across the lands
Yet You left the gaze of angels
Came to seek and save the lost
And exchanged the joy of heaven
For the anguish of a cross
With a prayer You fed the hungry
With a word You stilled the sea
Yet how silently You suffered
That the guilty may go free
With a shout You rose victorious
Wresting victory from the grave
And ascended into heaven
Leading captives in Your wake
Now You stand before the Father
Interceding for Your own
From each tribe and tongue and nation
You are leading sinners home
For the Cause
For the cause of Christ the King
We give our lives an offering
‘Til all the earth resounds
With ceaseless praise
To the Son
For the cause of Christ we go
With joy to reap with faith to sow
As many see
And many put their trust in the Son
Christ we proclaim
The Name above every name
For all creation
Ev’ry nation
God’s salvation
Through the Son
For the King once lifted high
To cries of rage of crucify
Endured the cross
As every sin was laid
On the Son
To the King who conquered death
To free the poor and the oppressed
For lasting peace
For life and liberty
In the Son
Let it be my life’s refrain
To live is Christ to die is gain
Deny myself take up my cross
And follow the Son
Confession of Sin
Forgive us our sins, O Lord.
Forgive us the sins of our youth and the sins of our age,
The sins of our soul and the sins of our body,
Our secret and our whispering sins,
Our presumptuous and our careless sins,
The sins we have done to please ourselves, the sins we have done to please others.
Forgive us the sins we know, and the sins we know not;
Forgive them, O Lord, forgive them all because of Your great goodness.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Assurance of Pardon
Through Jesus Christ forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to us.
In Christ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.
I Will Boast Only in the Cross
I will boast only in the cross
Where my Savior died for me.
Nothing else, no other love,
Goes so far and runs so deep.
I will boast only in the cross.
See His head, His hands and feet.
Scars of grace, the scars that heal.
He broke the curse and set me free.
Only One took the nails.
Only One tore the veil.
Only One spotless Lamb.
I will boast only in the cross.
I will boast only in the cross,
The Father’s love at Calvary.
My sin erased; my debt He paid.
This is my hope, the song I sing.
This is my hope, the song I sing.
Blessing
O Creator and Mighty God, you have promised strength for the weak, rest for the laborers, light for the way, grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love.
O Creator and Mighty God, help us to continue in Your promise.
