WELCOME TO THE FAMILY
HYMN)
Welcome to the family
We’re glad that you have come
To share your life with us
As we grow in love and
May we always be to you
What God would have us be
A family always there
To be strong and to lean on. (3X)
May we learn to love each other
More with each new day
May words of love be on our lips
In everything we say
May the spirit melt our hearts
And teach us how to pray
That we might be a true family.
I LOVE THE LORD
Refrain:
I love the Lord ‘cause He loved me first
He took my sins away and made me whole
He comes to save me whenever I call
O hallelujah I love the Lord.
The Lord’s love for me is amazing
‘Tis so sweet how I love to sing
For the reason He died on Calvary
Is because of His great love for me. Refrain
His wondrous love is eternal
‘Tis so strong and never fails
It’s His life that He gave
It’s His blood that He shed
It was poured out for you and for me.
Refrain
I’ll tell of His love to the nations
I will sing and make His glories known
That the world may know that He loves us
so
And through Christ we may love Him too.
Repeat Refrain

HYMN OF OUR FAITH JOURNEY (UCCP
The Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer
Is the great Triune God of our lives.
All creation finds purpose and meaning
And fulfillment in God’s wondrous plan.
In Christ God became flesh
To dwell among us,
Through the Spirit we’re guided along.
God empowers us all
To live out our faith,
To the glory of the Triune God.
We’re created to be in God’s image,
Men and women in equality.
God anointed us all for the service,
And be stewards of all God’s great works.
To live in communion with all creation,
And establish a just social life.
God created the world for us to enjoy
All the blessings that tell of God’s love.
God’s inspired instrument to instruct us
Is the Bible the great Word of God.
To illumine, to guide and correct us,
And to brighten our pathway to heav’n.
God is working to make us
new beings in Christ, and the whole world,
God’s kingdom to be,
Where God’s presence is felt,
The hungry are fed,
The oppressed and the captives are freed.
We have triumphed over death
With our Savior, Jesus Christ
Is our own risen Lord.
He will gather us all in His fullness,
To inherit the kingdom of God.
He has given the gift of eternal life,
So that all who believe may be saved.
We all look forward to His coming again,
To gather us all in His fold.
