Prayer Of Adoration
Songs Of Praise & Worship

! Crown Him with Many Crowns

!
Crown Him with many crowns

The Lamb upon His throne

Hark! How the heavenly
Anthem drowns
All music but its own
Awake, my soul and sing Of Him
Who died for thee
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity

!
Crown Him the Lord of love

Behold His hands and side

Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight
But downward bends His wond'ring eye
At mysteries so bright

Crown Him the Lord of life

Who triumphed o'er the grave
Who rose victorious to the strife
For those He came to save
His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die

Crown Him the Lord of heav'n

One with the Father known
One with the Spirit through Him giv'n
From yonder glorious throne
To Thee be endless praise
For Thou for us hast died
Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days
Adored and magnified
Worthy is the Lamb

!
Thank you for the cross, Lord

Thank you for the price You paid

Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

!
Thank you for this love, Lord

Thank you for the nail-pierced hands

Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

!
Worthy is the Lamb

Seated on the throne

Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus, Son of God
The darling of heaven, crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Behold the Man upon a cross

My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

!You shall have no other gods before Me.

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

forefathers saying, I am the Lord your

God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
You shall not make for yourself any
carved image, or any likeness of
anything. You shall not bow down to
them or serve them.
You shall not take the name of the Lord
your God in vain, for the Lord will not
hold him guiltless who takes His name in
vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it
holy.
Honour your father and mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against
your neighbour.
You shall not covetanything that is
your neighbours.

chorus
Show us Christ, show us Christ
O God, reveal Your glory
Through the preaching of Your Word
Until every heart confesses Christ is Lord

Your Word is living light

Upon our darkened eyes
Guards us through temptations
Makes the simple wise
Your Word is food for famished ones
Freedom for the slave
Riches for the needy soul
Come speak to us today

!
I will not boast in anything

No gifts, no powr, no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Where else can we go, Lord

Why should I gain from His reward

I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Where else can we go

You have the words of eternal life

How Deep the Fathers Love For Us
!
How deep the Fathers love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss

The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take him at His word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know, Thus saith the Lord
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How Ive proved Him oer and oer
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more

O how sweet to trust in Jesus

Just to trust His cleansing blood
Just in simple faith to plunge me
Neath the healing, cleansing flood
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How Ive proved Him oer and oer
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more

Yes, tis sweet to trust in Jesus

Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How Ive proved Him oer and oer
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more

Im so glad I learned to trust Thee

Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend
And I know that Thou art with me
Wilt be with me to the end
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How Ive proved Him oer and oer
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more
Just As I Am (I Come Broken)

Just as I am, without one plea

But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Just as I am, and waiting not

To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee Whose blood
Can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

chorus
I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God, Just as I am

Just as I am, I would be lost

But mercy and grace my freedom bought
And now to glory in Your cross
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

!
!
I Exalt Thee
!
For Thou, O Lord, art high
(repeat chorus)

Above all the earth

Thou art exalted far above all gods

For Thou, O Lord, art high

Above all the earth
Thou art exalted far above all gods

chorus
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee
I exalt Thee, O Lord
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee
I exalt Thee, O Lord

Thanks For
Joining Us For
Worship Today

!Unison: The Lord is my Shepherd; I

shall not be in want. He makes me lie

down in green pastures. He leads me
beside still waters. He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His names sake.

!Even though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death I will fear no

evil, for you are with me; Your rod and
Your staff, they comfort me.

!You prepare a table before me in the

presence of my enemies; You anoint my

head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life, and I shall dwell in
the house of the Lord forever.

The Benediction

We will mark the beginning of the Season of Lent with a special service on Ash
Wednesday. The threefold aim of Lent: (1) to meditate on our mortality, sinfulness,
and need of a Saviour; (2) to renew our commitment to daily repentance in all of
life; and (3) to remember with confidence and gratitude that Jesus Christ conquered
sin and death. Make plans now to join our community of faith in this journey
towards the celebration of Easter.

Heart To Heart: Saturday, February 21st

Women (18+) are invited to Gayle Eng's home on Saturday, February 21st at 7:00
pm. Heart to Heart Women's Ministry will occur on the 3rd Saturday of each month.
Please talk to Gayle for more details and for her address.

Lent Series

During our times of worship on Sunday mornings, we will focus on whats become
known as The Lords Prayer. It was a prayer that the Lord Jesus gave when he was
teaching the disciples and a multitude of people in his famous message known as
The Sermon on the Mount. In this message, Jesus gave his followers a model of
prayer that has served Christians well over the last 2,000 years, and is often
considered part of the basic discipleship that every Christian should master.

Sunday (February 18th to March 29). Booklets are available in the Lobby. Suggested

Youth Group: Friday at the Fergusons, 7-9pm

During the 6 Fridays of Lent leading up to Easter, the youth will gather at the
Fergies house (331 Citadel Drive NW). Well be working our way through a unique,
DVD-driven study called, The Easter Experience, which brings the passion and
the resurrection of Jesus to life through dramatic storytelling and challenging
teaching done in a highly cinematic style. This Friday is Session 1: My Life Has A
Purpose.
