The Call To Worship

~ based on Isaiah 12 ~

Leader: Sing praise, for the Lord has
done great things. Let this be known in
all the earth.

Unison: Surely God is my salvation; I
will trust, and will not be afraid; for the
Lord God is my strength and my song,
and He has become my salvation.

Leader: With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.

Unison: Give thanks to the Lord, call
upon His name; make known His deeds
among the peoples, proclaim that His
Name is exalted.

Leader: Sing praises to the Lord, for He
has done great things. Let this be known
in all the earth.

Songs Of Praise & Worship

"Majestic"

O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is
Your name in all the earth
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is
Your name inall the earth

chorus
The heavens declare
Your greatness
The oceans cry out to You
The mountains
They bow down before You
So I'll join with the earth
And I'll give my praise to You

bridge
I will worship You, I will worship You
I will worship You, I will worship You

We will worship You (x2)
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great
And armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal

Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right man on our side
The man of Gods own choosing
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He
Lord Sabaoth His name
From age to age the same
And He must win the battle

And though this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
The prince of darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo! his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him

That word above all earthly powrs
No thanks to them, abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill
Gods truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever
Call To Repentance &
Renewal
~ Psalm 130:4-5 ~

If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand? But with You
there is forgiveness, that you may be
feared.

Song Of Confession

Psalm 130 (From Depths of Woe)

From depths of woe I raise to Thee
The voice of lamentation
Lord, turn a gracious ear to me
And hear my supplication
If Thou iniquities dost mark
Our secret sins and misdeeds dark
O who shall stand before Thee?
(Who shall stand before Thee?)
O who shall stand before Thee?
(Who shall stand before Thee?)

To wash away the crimson stain
Grace, grace alone availeth
Our works, alas! Are all in vain
In much the best life faileth
No man can glory in Thy sight
All must alike confess Thy might
And live alone by mercy
(Live alone by mercy)
And live alone by mercy
(Live alone by mercy)

The Words Of The Gospel

~ based on Romans 5:8; 8:1;
& Acts 10:43 ~

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!

Song Of Response

Therefore my trust is in the Lord
And not in mine own merit
On Him my soul shall rest, His word
Upholds my fainting spirit
His promised mercy is my fort
My comfort and my sweet support
I wait for it with patience
(Wait for it with patience)
I wait for it with patience
(Wait for it with patience)
What though I wait the live-long night
And til the dawn appeareth
My heart still trusteth in His might
It doubteth not nor feareth
Do thus, O ye of Israels seed
Ye of the Spirit born indeed
And wait til God appeareth
(Wait til God appeareth)
And wait til God appeareth
(Wait til God appeareth)

Though great our sins and sore our woes
His grace much more aboundeth
His helping love no limit knows
Our upmost need it soundeth
Our Shepherd good and true is He
Who will at last His Israel free
From all their sin and sorrow
(All their sin and sorrow)
From all their sin and sorrow
(All their sin and sorrow)
The Prayers Of The People
For The Church & 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

Thou Lovely Source Of True Delight

Thou lovely source of true delight
Whom I unseen adore
Unveil Thy beauties to my sight
That I might love Thee more
Oh that I might love Thee more

Thy glory o'er creation shines
Yet in Thy sacred word
I read, in fairer, brighter lines
My bleeding, dying Lord
See my bleeding, dying Lord

'Tis here, whene'er my comforts droop
And sin and sorrows rise
Thy love with cheering beams of hope
My fainting heart supplies
My fainting heart's supplied

But ah! Too soon the pleasing scene
Is clouded over with pain
My gloomy fears rise dark between
And I again complain
Oh, and I again complain

Jesus, my Lord, my life, my light,
Oh come with blissful ray
Break radiant through the shades of night
And chase my fears away
Won't you chase my fears away

Then shall my soul with rapture trace
The wonders of Thy love
But the full glories of Thy face
Are only known above
They are only known above

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)

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

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace, like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul.

chorus
It is well (echo)
With my soul (echo)
It is well, it is well with my soul

Though Satan should buffet
Though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ has regarded
My helpless estate
And has shed His own blood for my soul

(repeat chorus)

My sinO the bliss
Of this glorious thought!
My sin, not the part but the whole
Is nailed to the Cross
And I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
O my soul

(repeat chorus)

O Lord, haste the day
When the faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend
Even soit is well with my soul

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!
