The Call To Worship

~ based on Psalm 135 ~

Leader: Praise the Lord! Praise the
name of the Lord, give praise O
servants of the Lord, who stand in the
house of the Lord, in the courts of the
house of our God! Praise the Lord, for
the Lord is good; sing to His name for it
is pleasant.

Unison: Your name, O Lord, endures
forever, Your renown, O Lord, through-
out all ages.

Prayer Of Adoration

Songs Of Praise & Worship

Blessed Be Your Name

Blessed be Your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be your name
When Im found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
Ill turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

chorus
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the suns shining down on me
When the worlds all as it should be
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though theres pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
Ill turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

(repeat chorus)

bridge
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be Your name

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Come, thou fount of evry 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 the mount! Im fixed upon it
Mount of Gods unchanging love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help Im come
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily Im constrained to be
Let that grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wandring heart to Thee
Prone to wanderLord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Heres my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Call To Repentance &
Renewal

~ based on Hebrews 4 & Psalm 51 ~

Leader: The Scriptures teach us that in
every respect our Lord Jesus Christ was
tempted as we are, yet he was without
sin. Let us therefore cry out with the
Psalmist,

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!

Let us therefore approach the throne of
grace with boldness, so that we may
receive mercy and find help in our time
of need.

Song Of Confession

Psalm 51 (God Be Merciful To Me)

God be merciful to me
On Thy grace I rest my plea
Plenteous in compassion Thou
Blot out my transgressions now
Wash me, make me pure within
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin

My transgressions I confess
Grief and guilt my soul oppress
I have sinned against Thy grace
And provoked Thee to Thy face
I confess Thy judgment just
Speechless I Thy mercy trust

I am evil, born in sin
Thou desirest truth within
Thou alone my Saviour art
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow
Wash me whiter than the snow

Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice
From my sins O hide Thy face
Blot them out in boundless grace

Gracious God, my heart renew,
Make my spirit right and true
Cast me not away from Thee
Let Thy Spirit dwell in me
Thy salvations joy impart
Steadfast make my willing heart.

Sinners then shall learn from me
And return, O God, to Thee
Saviour all my guilt remove
And my tongue shall sing Thy love
Touch my silent lips, O Lord
And my mouth shall praise accord

The Words Of The Gospel

~ based on Romans 5 & 8; Acts 10 ~

Leader: God demonstrates His own love
for us in this: while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us. There is, therefore,
now no condemnation for those who are
in Christ Jesus because, as all the
prophets testify about Christ, everyone
who believes in Him receives the
forgiveness of sins through His name.

To all who humbly seek the mercy of
God, I say to you that in Christ Jesus
your sins are forgiven!
The Prayers of the People
for the Church and City

Leader: Let us pray.

Unison: Our Father in Heaven, hallow-
ed be your name. Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done, on earth as it is in
heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our debts as we also have
forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power, and the
glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

Song Of Worship

Before the Throne of God Above

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea
A great High Priest
Whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart,
I know that while in Heavn He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin.
Because the sinless Saviour died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there! The risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I Am
The King of glory and of grace!
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ, my Saviour and my God
With Christ my Saviour and my God

Songs For Communion

All Who Are Thirsty

All who are thirsty
All who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of life
Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
In the waves of his mercy
As deep cries out to deep we sing
Come Lord Jesus come
(repeat 3x)

Holy Spirit come
(repeat 3x)

As deep cries out to deep
(repeat 2x)

Amazing Grace
(My Chains Are Gone)

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

chorus
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Saviour has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

(repeat chorus)

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

Only Jesus

Father of grace, Youve sacrificed
Your only Son for us, the crucified Jesus
Enlarge our hearts to love Your Son
O grant to us the grace
To walk with Him always
To make Him our great delight
Bringing worship with our lives

chorus
Only Jesus! Only Jesus!
Give us Jesus, we cry
Only Jesus! Only Jesus!
The Pearl of greatest price

Spirit of grace, Youve shed Your light
Upon our darkened eyes

Our Confession Of Faith

~ based on 1 Corinthians 15:1-6;
Matthew 16:16; Revelation 22:13;
& John 20:28 ~

Leader: Let us together profess our faith
by saying

Unison: This is the Good News which
we have received, in which we stand,
and by which we are saved, if we hold
fast:

that Christ Jesus died for our sins
according the the Scriptures, that we
was buried, that he was raised on the
third day, and that he appeared to Peter,
then to the Twelve, and then he
appeared to over five hundred witnesses
at one time.

We believe that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the living God. He is the first
and the last, the beginning and the end;
He is our Lord and our God. Amen.
The Benediction

~ 2 Corinthians 13:13 ~

Leader: The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ and the love of God and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with
you all.

Unison: Amen!
