Gathering the Family Together

Give Him Glory!

1. Give glory to Creation’s God, the Source of all that is.

With but a word, He made the world, and thus the world is His.

His greatness shouts from distant stars. His goodness shines as light.

He made all things to bring Him joy, and in Him we delight!

Chorus:

We cry,

“Glory! Honor! Blessing to the King!

Power! Splendor!” all creation sings.

We cry,

“Wisdom! Riches! Thanks unto the Lamb!”

Endless praises to the great “I Am!”

2. Give glory to Redemption’s Lamb, the Savior of the lost,

Who wore our flesh, then bore our curse upon a cruel cross.

He took the filth and guilt of sin; He took the wrath it earned.

He reconciled our souls to God—the wayward have returned!

(Repeat Chorus)

3. Give glory to the coming King, the Lord of heaven and earth!

The fallen world, like fallen men, awaits its second birth.

“Behold, I shall make all things new,” He promised groaning men.

Dominion shall belong to Christ, and all be right again!

(Repeat Chorus)

Scripture Reading:                                                              Haggai 2:1-9

The Coming Glory of the Temple

¹ In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet:

² “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say,

³ ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?

⁴ Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. Be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. Work, for I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts,

⁵ according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit remains in your midst. Fear not.

⁶ For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land.

⁷ And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts.

⁸ The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts.

⁹ The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’”

Are you washed in the blood of the lamb.

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

When the Bridegroom cometh, will your robes be white,

Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb?

Will your souls be ready for the mansions bright

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb.

There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean;

O be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

We Respond to God’s Presence

All My Boast Is in Jesus

Verse 1

What wonder of wonders, what love is this; that Christ would die for me!

His goodness, His merit, His righteousness, this sinner’s only plea.

O foolish pride, be crucified; the work is finished!

Chorus:

All my boast is in Jesus; all my hope is His love.

And I will glory forever in what the Cross has done.

Verse 2

Now fully forgiven, my life is filled with graces undeserved.

For mercy that flowed down that sacred hill, let praises now return.

Rise up, my soul, and bless the Lord! Who else is worthy?

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

O, Praise the One, forever blessed! Him alone my heart adores.

And I will boast in nothing else than the love of Christ my Lord

Repeat Bridge

Verse 3

I boast not in riches, in strength or might, but in the grace of God.

I glory in weakness, to live is Christ in plenty or in want.

That I may know that all may see His power within me!

Repeat Chorus

Coda:

Now I stand in this freedom; ransomed, clean in His sight,

And I cannot be ashamed for my boast is Jesus Christ.

My boast is Jesus Christ. Forever, my boast is Jesus Christ.

Your Hand, O God, Has Guided

1. Your hand, O God, has guided Your church from age to age;

The tale of love is written for us on every page.

Our fathers knew Your goodness and we Your works record;

And each of these bear witness; One church, one faith, one Lord.

Refrain:       One church, one faith, one Lord of life;

One Father, one Spirit, one Christ.

One church, one faith, one Lord of life;

One Heavenly King, Lord of all.

2. Your mercy never fails us, or leaves Your work undone;

With Your right hand to help us, the victory shall be won.

And then, by all creation, Your Name shall be adored;

With earth and Heaven singing: One church, one faith, one Lord.

Repeat Refrain

We Are Your Church

God has built His church on one foundation—

Jesus Christ, the Living Cornerstone.

Crucified and risen to redeem us,

We adore and worship Him alone.

Refrain:

We are Your church, Your bride, the people of Your name.

In Your strength we live; we worship, unashamed,

For Your cause we serve; We joyfully proclaim we are Your people;

We are Your church.

Set apart to serve our loving Savior,

given power to share redemption’s plan—

We will tell the world the love of Jesus;

we will preach the cross to every land.          (Repeat Refrain)

With a shout, the Bridegroom is returning.

Heaven’s Prince will come to claim His own.

We will rise to reign with Him forever;

We will sing our praise around His throne.    (Repeat Refrain)
