    Gathering the Family Together

     

    Spirit of Heaven

    1. Spirit of Heaven, flood over me,

    forming Christ in all that I do.

    Turn every sinful desire in me

    into holy passion for You.

     

    Refrain:     O, Spirit of God, come down; Let mercy and grace abound.

    My passionate prayer shall be: Christ in me.

     

    1. Spirit of beauty and holiness,

    come refine with fire from above,

    Till I am cast in Your righteousness

    and I love the things that you love.                (Refrain)

     

    1. Breathe Your forgiveness when darkness falls

    and my heart is heavy with sin.

    Fill me with faith for the higher cause

    of the ceaseless praise of the King.                (Repeat Refrain 2x)

    Scripture Reading:                                                         Psalm 103:8-19

    8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

    9 He will not always chide,
    nor will he keep his anger forever.

    10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
    nor repay us according to our iniquities.

    11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

    12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

    13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.

    14 For he knows our frame;
    he remembers that we are dust.

    15 As for man, his days are like grass;
    he flourishes like a flower of the field;

    16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
    and its place knows it no more.

    17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
    on those who fear him,
    and his righteousness to children’s children,

    18 to those who keep his covenant
    and remember to do his commandments.

    19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
    and his kingdom rules over all.

     

    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

     

    Press On

    1. Where two or three are gathered in the name of the Lord,

    He is here, He is here in our midst.

    And we will sing together, be renewed by the Word.

    When we part, may we go in His peace.

     

    Chorus:   Press on, all you saints, press on till the end.

    Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.

    Press on, all you saints, run and run to win!

    Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.

     

    1. Now let the Word be scattered like the seed on the soil;

    Day by day, watch it grow in His care.

    And may you be a shelter as you reach to the lost,

    Glad in hope, calm in pain, true in prayer.

     

    Chorus:   Press on, all you saints, press on till the end.

    Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.

    Press on, all you saints, run and run to win!

    Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.

     

    1. And may He find us waiting with our lamps burning still;

    Keeping watch through the night till He comes.

    For soon it will be morning and the sun will appear;

    Christ who brought us this far brings us home.

     

    Chorus:   Press on, all you saints, press on till the end.

    Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.

    Press on, all you saints, run and run to win!

    Christ with us, ever with us---until He comes again.

    Oh, until He comes again.

    A thousand years are nothing in Your sight

    Your perfect love and favor have no end

    Sharing of the Elements

     

    We invite to the Lord’s Table all those who are baptized disciples of Jesus Christ and are under the authority of Christ and His body, the Church. By eating the bread and drinking the wine with us as a visitor, you are acknowledging to the elders of this local church that you are in covenant with God and an active member of a congregation in which the gospel is faithfully confessed, taught, and believed. You also acknowledge that you are a sinner, without hope except in the sovereign mercy of God, and that you are trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. If you have any doubt about your participation, please speak to the elders before or after the service.

     

    Declaration of Forgiveness

     

    We Are Sent Forth in Worship

    to Share the Gospel

     

     

    I Cannot Tell

    I cannot tell why He whom angels worship

    Should set His love upon the sons of men,

    Or why, as Shepherd, He should seek the wanderers

    To bring them back, they know not how or when.

    But this I know, that He was born of Mary

    When Bethlehem’s manger was His only home,

    And that He lived at Nazareth and labored,

    And so the Savior, Savior of the world has come.

     

    I cannot tell how silently He suffered

    As with His peace He graced this place of tears,

    Or how His heart upon the cross was broken,

    The crown of pain to three and thirty years.

    But this I know, He heals the broken hearted

    And stays our sin and calms our lurking fear,

    And lifts the burden from the heavy laden,

    For yet the Savior, Savior of the world, is here.

     

    I cannot tell how He will win the nations,

    How He will claim His earthly heritage,

    Or satisfy the needs and aspirations

    Of east and west, of sinner and of sage.

    But this I know, all flesh shall see His glory,

    And He shall reap the harvest He has sown,

    And some glad day His sun will shine in splendor

    When He the Savior, Savior of the world, is known.

     

    I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship

    When at His bidding every storm is stilled,

    Or who can say how great the jubilation

    When all the hearts of men with love are filled.

    But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,

    And countless voices then will join to sing.

    And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth will answer:

    “At last the Savior, Savior of the world, is King!”
