Gathering the Family Together

Rejoice, Rejoice, Come Sing with Me

Rejoice, rejoice, come sing with me: “This is the house of God!”

The temple gates swing wide and free—this is the house of God!

For every tribe and every race this is the house of God!

God calls us to this holy place—this is the house of God!

In market square and city street we seek the peace of God.

Before the ruler’s judgment seat, we seek the peace of God.

In joyful song and whispered prayer we seek the peace of God.

God’s city can be anywhere we seek the peace of God.

ESV

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe:

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate;

Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

The holy universal church; The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Hear. O Israel

Solo:

Hear, O Israel, the people of the Lord,

Be still and know that He is God.

Love the Lord your God with the fullness of your heart,

With all your mind, your strength and soul.

We draw near through Christ Who saves us;

We draw near to the throne of grace.

Hear, O Israel, the people of the Lord,

Come lift your voice and praise your King.

(Words and music written by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend)

Come, People of the Risen King
1. Come, people of the risen King, who delight to bring Him praise.
Come all, and tune your hearts to sing to the Morning Star of grace.

From the shifting shadows of the earth we will lift our eyes to Him,

Where steady arms of mercy reach to gather children in.

Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!

One heart, one voice: oh, Church of Christ, rejoice!
1. Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
and those weeping through the night.

Come, those who tell of battles won,

and those struggling in the fight.

For His perfect love will never change, and His mercies never cease,

But follow us through all our days with the certain hope of peace.

Repeat Refrain
1. Come, young and old from every land, men and women of the faith.
Come, those with full or empty hands; find the riches of His grace.

Over all the world His people sing; shore to shore we hear them call

The Truth that cries through every age: “Our God is all in all.”

Repeat Refrain

Behold Our God

Verse 1:           Who has held the oceans in His hands?

Kings and nations tremble at His voice

All creation rises to rejoice

Come let us adore Him

Behold our King nothing can compare

Come let us adore Him!

Verse 2:           Who has given counsel to the Lord?

Who can question any of His Words?

Who can teach the One who knows all things?

Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:           Who has felt the nails upon His hands

Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?

God eternal humbled to the grave

Jesus, Savior risen now to reign!

Repeat Chorus
