The Call to Worship

Leader: We have gathered in the name

of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit to offer up a sacrifice of praise!

Unison: May His great Name be praised
forever.

~ Psalm 100 ~

Leader: Shout for joy to the Lord all the
earth. Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before Him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.

Unison: It is He who made us and we
are His; we are His people, the sheep of
His pasture.

Leader: Enter His gates with thanks-
giving and His courts with praise; give
thanks to Him and praise His name.

Unison: For the Lord is good, and His
love endures forever; His faithfulness
continues through all generations.

Prayer of Adoration

Songs of Praise & Worship

How Great You Are

Our God is great
The Father of creation
His splendour fills the earth
The lightning crash
The thunder sings His praises
The galaxies cant help
But shout His worth

chorus
My soul must sing to You an offering
How great You are
My soul must sing
Oh, let the heavens ring
How great You are
Oh, how great You are
The Word made flesh
Gods promise to the fallen
He came with powr to save
The light of life
Was crushed for our rebellion
He died our death
And rose up from the grave

Our King will come
With trumpet blasts resounding
To claim His blood-washed bride
Hell rend the skies
Descending in His glory
And in an instant faith will turn to sight

Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy!
All the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be

Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy
There is none beside Thee
Perfect in powr in love & purity

Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name
In earth and sky and sea
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Call to Repentance & Renewal

~ Psalm 139:23-24 ~

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts. Point out
anything in me that offends you, and
lead me in the path of everlasting life.

Song of Confession

Lord, Have Mercy

Jesus Ive forgotten
the words that You have spoken
Promises that burned within my heart
have now grown dim
With a doubting heart I follow
the paths of earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief
renew the fire again

chorus
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
(repeat)

I have built an altar where Ive
worshipped things of man
I have taken journeys
that have drawn me far from You
Now I am returning
to Your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions,
help me love You again

(repeat chorus)

I have longed to know You
and all Your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness
ever flowing without end
So I bow my heart before You
in the goodness of Your presence
Your grace forever shining
like a beacon in the night

(repeat chorus)

The Words of The Gospel

~ based on 1 Timothy 1:15 &
1 Peter 2:24 ~

Leader: Hear the Good News: This
saying is sure and worthy of full accep-
tance, that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners. He Himself bore
our sins in His body on the cross, that we
might be dead to sin and alive to all that
is good.
Hearing these comforting words, if you
sincerely turn from your sins by turning
in trust to the Lord Jesus Christ who
came to save sinners, I declare to you in
the Name of Jesus Christ that you are
indeed forgiven!

Song of Response

I Will Glory In My Redeemer

I will glory in my Redeemer
Whose priceless blood has ransomed me
Mine was the sin
That drove the bitter nails
And hung Him on that judgment tree

I will glory in my Redeemer
Who crushed the power of sin and death
My only Saviour before the Holy Judge
The Lamb who is my Righteousness
The Lamb who is my Righteousness

I will glory in my Redeemer
My life He bought, my love He owns
I have no longings for another
Im satisfied in Him alone

I will glory in my Redeemer
His faithfulness my standing place
Though foes are mighty
And rush upon me
My feet are firm held by His grace
My feet are firm held by His grace

I will glory in my Redeemer
Who carries me on eagles wings
He crowns my life with loving kindness
His triumph song Ill ever sing

I will glory in my Redeemer
Who waits for me at gates of gold
And when He calls me it will be paradise
His face forever to behold
His face forever to behold
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 Preparation

O Great God

O great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power
Let no vice nor sin remain
That resists Your holy war
You have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore

I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear Your voice
Did not know Your love within
Had no taste for heaven's joys
Then Your Spirit gave me life
Opened up Your Word to me
Through the gospel of Your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace

Help me now to live a life
That's dependent on Your grace
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face
You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed
O great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your Name through me

A Real Cause For Joy

Luke 10:17-20
Pastor John Ferguson
Songs for Communion

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)

Lord, I Need You

Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart

chorus
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defence, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

(repeat chorus)

Our Confession of Faith

~ The Apostles Creed ~

Leader: Christians, in whom do you
believe?

Unison: We believe in God the Father
Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And we believe in Jesus Christ, His
only Son our Lord, who was conceived
by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin
Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried; He
descended into hell. The third day He
rose again from the dead. He ascended
to heaven and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty. From there
He will come to judge the living and the
dead.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the
Holy catholic church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen.
The Benediction

~ Numbers 6:24-26 ~

Leader: The Lord bless you and keep
you; the Lord make His face to shine
upon you and be gracious to you; the
Lord lift up His countenance upon you
and give you peace.

Unison: Amen!
