“Almighty Lord, How Lovely Is That Place”

Call To Worship

Responsive Scripture Reading:                   Psalm 89:1-7, 27-29, 36-37

Leader:

I will sing of your steadfast love, O LORD, forever;
with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.

Congregation:

I declare that your steadfast love is established forever;
Your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.

Leader:

You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to my servant David:
‘I will establish your descendants forever,

And build your throne for all generations.’”

Congregation:

Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD,
Your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.

For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?
Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord,

A God feared in the council of the holy ones,
Great and awesome above all that are around him?

Leader:

Then you spoke in a vision to your faithful one, and said:
“I have set the crown on one who is mighty,
I have exalted one chosen from the people.

I have found my servant David;
With my holy oil I have anointed him

My hand shall always remain with him;
My arm also shall strengthen him…

I will make him the firstborn,
The highest of the kings of the earth.

All:

Forever I will keep my steadfast love for him
And my covenant with him will stand firm.

I will establish his line forever,
And his throne as long as the heavens endure.

His line shall continue forever,
And his throne endure before me like the sun.

It shall be established forever like the moon,
And enduring witness in the skies.”

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

 Hosanna to the Son of David

1. Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna to God’s mighty One!

Hosanna, wave your palms as banners,

in Him the vict’ry shall be won.

Refrain:     Hosanna! Hosanna! The Messiah comes this way.

Hosanna! Hosanna! His kingdom comes today.

2. Hosanna to the King of Israel! He comes to set His people free.

Hosanna to the royal Savior, the bearer of our destiny.

(Refrain)

3. Like David, He rides on a donkey, recalling the anointed King.

The crowds spread garments down before Him,

with shouts of joy His praises sing!

(Refrain)

4. Lord Jesus you did cleanse the Temple.

Lord cleanse our hearts and minds this day.

Then fill us with your Holy Spirit, your kingdom build in us we pray.

(Refrain)

He Will Reign

He will reign on the throne of David;

He will reign, Jesus, Messiah.

He will reign, glorious King and Savior;

God with us, our Lord Emmanuel.

At the right hand of the Father,

His kingdom now and forever,

Forever, and ever, He will reign!!

God And God Alone

God and God alone created all these things we call our own,

From the mighty to the small, the glory in them all

Is God’s and God’s alone!

God and God alone reveals the truth of all we call unknown,

And all the best and worst of man won’t change the Master’s plan,

It’s God’s and God’s alone!

Chorus:     God and God alone is fit to take the universe’s throne:

Let everything that lives reserve its truest praise -

For God - and God alone!

God and God alone will be the joy - of our eternal home,

He will be our one desire, our hearts will never tire

Of God and God alone!

Repeat Chorus

Children’s Sermon Song:

I Might Be Small

I might be small, but my God is big.

I might be small, but my God is big.

I might be small, but my God is big.

My God is bigger so much bigger.

God is bigger than anything.

Sermon Hymn:

Every Promise of Your Word

From the breaking of the dawn to the setting of the sun,

I will stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

Words of power, strong to save, that will never pass away,

I will stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

For Your covenant is sure, And on this I am secure—

I can stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

When I stumble and I sin, condemnation pressing in,

I will stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

You are faithful to forgive that in freedom I might live,

So I stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

Guilt to innocence restored, You remember sins no more—

So I’ll stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

When I’m faced with anguished choice, I will listen for Your voice,

And I’ll stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

Through this dark and troubled land You will guide me with Your hand

As I stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

And You’ve promised to complete, Ev’ry work begun in me—

So I’ll stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

Hope that lifts me from despair, love that casts out ev’ry fear,

As I stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

Not forsaken, not alone, for the Comforter has come,

And I stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

Grace sufficient, grace for me, Grace for all who will believe—

We will stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
