The Call to Worship

~ Psalm 95 ~

Leader: Oh come, let us sing to the
Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the
rock of our salvation! Let us come into
His presence with thanksgiving; let us
make a joyful noise to Him with songs
of praise! For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.

We have gathered to worship and enjoy
our gracious God!

Unison: Praise God from whom all
blessings flow!

Prayer of Adoration

Songs of Praise & Worship

Come Praise and Glorify

Come praise and glorify our God
The Father of our Lord
In Christ He has in heavenly realms
His blessings on us poured
For pure and blameless in His sight
He destined us to be
And now weve been adopted through
His Son eternally

chorus
To the praise of Your glory
To the praise of Your mercy and grace
To the praise of Your glory
You are the God who saves

Come praise and glorify our God
Who gives His grace in Christ
In Him our sins are washed away
Redeemed through sacrifice
In Him God has made known to us
The mystry of His will
That Christ should be the head of all
His purpose to fulfill
(repeat chorus)

Come praise and glorify our God
For weve believed the Word
And through our faith we have a seal
The Spirit of the Lord
The Spirit guarantees our hope
Until redemptions done
Until we join in endless praise
To God, the Three in One

(repeat chorus)

"At Your Name"

At Your name
The mountains shake and crumble
At Your name
The oceans roar and tumble
At Your name angels will bow
The earth will rejoice
Your people cry out

chorus
Lord of all the earth, we shout Your name
Shout Your name
Filling up the skies, with endless praise
Endless praise
Yahweh, Yahweh
We love to shout Your name, oh Lord

At Your name
The morning breaks in glory
At Your name
Creation sings Your story
At Your name angels will bow
The earth will rejoice
Your people cry out

(repeat chorus)

bridge
There is no one like our God
We will praise You, praise You
There's no one like our God
We will sing, we will sing
There is no one like our God
We will praise You, praise You
There's no one like our God
We will sing

(repeat chorus)

Call to Repentance & Renewal

~ Isaiah 1:18 ~

Come now, let us reason together, says
the Lord. Though your sins are like
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson, they
shall be like wool.

Prayer of Confession

Unison: Almighty and merciful God, we
have erred and strayed from Your ways
like lost sheep. We have followed too
much the devices and desires of our own
hearts. We have offended against Your
holy laws. We have left undone those
things which we ought to have done; and
we have done those things that we ought
not to have done.

~ Silent Confession ~

Unison: Oh Lord, have mercy upon us.
Spare those who confess their faults.
Restore those who are repentant, accord-
ing to Your promises declared to the
world in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

And grant, O merciful God, for His sake,
that we might live a holy, just, and
humble life to the glory of Your Holy
name. Amen.

The Words of The Gospel

~ Romans 8:1 & 5:1 ~

There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Since we have been justified by faith, we
have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ.

Song of Response

Completely Done

What reason have I to doubt
Why would I dwell in fear
When all I have known is grace
My future in Christ is clear
My sins have been paid in full
There's no condemnation here
I live in the good of this
My Father has brought me near
I'm leaving my fears behind me now

chorus
The old is gone, the new has come
What You complete is completely done
We're heirs with Christ, the victory won
What You complete is completely done

I don't know what lies ahead
What if I fail again
You are my confidence
You'll keep me to the end
I'm leaving my fears behind me now

(repeat chorus)
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.

and Offerings

Song of Preparation

Jesus Shall Reign

Jesus shall reign whereer the sun
Does his successive journeys run
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more

To Him shall endless prayer be made
And praises throng to crown His head
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name

Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honours to our King
Angels descend with songs again
And earth repeats the loud amen

Luke 10:21-24

Speaker
Songs for Communion

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)

bridge
Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
(repeat chorus)

ending
You're my one defence, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defence, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

How Deep

You were broken that I might be healed
You were cast off that I might draw near
You were thirsty that I might come drink
Cried out in anguish that I might sing

chorus
How deep is Your love
How high and how wide is Your mercy
How deep is Your grace
Our hearts overflow with praise
To You

You knew darkness
That I might know light
Wept great tears that mine might be dried
Stripped of glory that I might be clothed
Crushed by Your Father
To call me Your own

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
Hallelujah, hallelujah
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)

God Graciously
Renews Us In
Christ
Unison: Jesus Christ is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn of all
creation; For by Him all things were
created, in heaven and on earth, visible
and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or rulers or authoritiesall
things were created through Him and
for Him.

And He is before all things, and in him
all things hold together. And He is the
head of the body, the church. He is the
beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in everything he might be
preeminent.

For in Him all the fullness of God was
pleased to dwell, and through Him to
reconcile to Himself all things whether
on earth or in heaven, making peace by
the blood of His cross.
The Benediction

~ 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 ~

Leader: Now may our Lord Jesus
Christ himself, and God our Father, who
loved us and gave us eternal comfort
and good hope through grace, comfort
your hearts and establish them in every
good work and word.

Unison: Amen!
