The Call To Worship

~ based on Psalm 98 ~

Leader: Oh sing to the Lord a new song,
for He has done marvellous things! His
right hand and His holy arm have
worked salvation for Him.

Unison: The Lord has made known His
salvation; He has revealed His right-
eousness in the sight of the nations. He
has remembered His steadfast love and
faithfulness to the house of Israel, and
the ends of the earth have seen the
salvation of our God.

Leader: Make a joyful noise to the Lord,
all the earth; break forth into joyous
song and sing praises!

Call To Repentance &
Renewal

~ Jeremiah 17:9 ~

Leader: The Lord has spoken through the
prophet Jeremiah saying, The heart is
deceitful above all things and despera-
tely sick; who can understand it? I the
Lord search the heart and examine the
mind.

Prayer Of Confession

Leader: Gracious God, our sins are too
heavy to carry, too real to hide, and to
deep to undo.

~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~

Leader: Forgive what our lips tremble to
name, what our hearts can no longer bear,
and what has become for us a consuming
fire of judgment.

~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~

Leader: Set us free from a past we cannot
change; open to us a future in which we
can be changed.

~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~

Leader: And grant us to grow more and
more in Your likeness and image, though
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Words Of The Gospel

~ based on 1 John 1:8-2:1 ~

Leader: While it is true that we have
sinned, it is a greater truth that God offers
forgiveness to all who turn to the Lord
Jesus Christ, seeking His grace and
pardon. He is the Righteous One - our
Advocate - who speaks in our defence.
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,
and for the sins of the world.

To all who humbly seek the mercy of
God, I say to you that in Christ Jesus
your sins are forgiven!

Your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be?
That You, my King, would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
Its my joy to honour You
In all I do Ill honour you

I'm forgiven because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well
Your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

(repeat chorus)

You are my king
You are my king
Jesus, You are my king
Jesus, You are my king

Your will be done, on earth as it is in

Hail the Day

Hail the day that Christ arose
Through the skies to worlds unknown
Glorious there He ever reigns
Object of all Heavens praise

See Him lift His hands above
See the scars of His great love
He has conquered death and sin
Saving all who hope in Him

chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah
The King of Love is on His throne

His grace will lead us safely home

Though He dwells beyond the stars
His redeemed are on His heart
Even now He intercedes
Jesus cares for all our needs

(repeat chorus)

We are redeemed
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Jesus is King

Songs For Communion

Your Presence Is Heaven

Who is like You, Lord in all the earth?
Matchless love and beauty, endless worth
For nothing in this world can satisfy
Jesus, You're the cup that won't run dry

chorus
Your presence is heaven to me
Your presence is heaven to me

Treasure of my heart and of my soul
In my weakness You are merciful
Redeemer of my past and present wrong
Holder of my future days to come

bridge
Oh Jesus, oh Jesus
Your presence is heaven to me
Oh Jesus, oh Jesus
Your presence is heaven to me
All my days on earth I will await
The moment that I see You face to face
For nothing in this world can satisfy
Jesus, You're the cup that won't run dry

Your presence is heaven to me
Your presence is heaven to me

I Will Rise

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

chorus
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise, I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

(repeat chorus)

bridge
And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
(repeat)

(repeat chorus)

Our Confession Of Faith

~ based on Romans 8:1, 29, 38-39 ~

Leader: Let us together profess our faith
by saying

Unison: We believe there is no condem-
nation for those who are in Christ Jesus;
for we know that all things work together
for good for those who love God, who
are called according to Gods purpose.
