Welcome and Announcements

Gathering the Family Together

O Church, Arise

O Church, arise, and put your armor on;

hear the call of Christ our Captain.

For now the weak can say that they are strong

in the strength that God has given.

With a shield of faith and belt of Truth,

we’ll stand against the devil’s lies;

And army bold, whose battle cry is love,

reaching out to those in darkness.

Our call to war to love the captive soul,

but to rage against the captor;

And with the sword that makes the wounded whole,

we will fight with faith and valor.

When faced with trials on every side,

we know the outcome is secure,

And Christ will have the prize for which He died

– an inheritance of nations.

Come see the cross, where love and mercy meet,

as the Son of God is stricken;

Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,

for the Conqueror has risen!

And as the stone is rolled away

and Christ emerges from the grave,

This victory march continues till the day

every eye and heart shall see Him.

So Spirit come, put strength in every stride,

give grace for every hurdle,

That we may run with faith to win the prize

of a servant good and faithful.

As saints of old still line the way,

retelling triumphs of His grace,

We hear their calls and hunger for the day

when with Christ we stand in Glory.

Scripture Reading:                                                          I Peter 3:13-17

¹³ Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

¹⁴ But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,

¹⁵ but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

¹⁶ having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

¹⁷ For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

Prayer of Invocation

We Respond to God’s Presence

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Verse 1

Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!

Sing, O earth, His wonderful love proclaim!

Hail Him! Hail Him! highest archangels in glory,

Strength and honor give to His holy Name!

Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children;

In His arms He carries them all day long.

Refrain:      Praise Him! Praise Him!

Tell of His excellent greatness;

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Ever in joyful song.

Verse 2

Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!

For our sins He suffered, and bled, and died.

He, our Rock, our Hope of eternal salvation--

Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus, the Crucified.

Sound His praises! Jesus, Who bore our sorrows;

Love unbounded, wonderful, deep and strong!

Repeat Refrain

Verse 3

Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!

Heavn'ly portals loud with hosannas ring!

Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever.

Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet and Priest and King!

Christ is coming, over the world victorious;

Pow'r and glory unto the Lord belong!

Repeat Refrain

God, The Uncreated One

Verse 1

God the uncreated One, the Author of salvation;

Who wrote the laws of space and time,

Who fashioned worlds to His design.

The One whom angel hosts revere, hung the stars like chandeliers,

Numbered every grain of sand, knows the heart of every man.

He is King forever, He is King forever, He is King forevermore.

Verse 2

God our fortress and our strength, the Rock on which we can depend;

Matchless in His majesty, His power and authority.

Unshaken by the schemes of man, never changing, great I AM,

Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, He is faithful through it all.

Crown Him King forever, crown Him King forever,

Crown Him King forevermore.

Verse 3

Mighty God in mortal flesh, forsaken by a traitor’s kiss;

The curse of sin and centuries did pierce the lowly Prince of Peace.

Oh, lifted high, the sinless man, crucified the spotless Lamb,

Buried by the sons of man, rescued by the Father’s hand

To reign as King forever, reign as King forever,

reign as King forevermore.

Verse 4

King Eternal, God of Grace, we crown you with the highest praise;

Heaven shouts and saints adore, “You’re holy, holy, holy, Lord!”

What joy is everlasting life, all is love and faith is sight;

Justice rolls and praises rise, at the Name of Jesus Christ.

King of kings forever, King of kings forever, King of kings forevermore.

You Are My All In All

You are my strength when I am weak,

You are the treasure that I seek; You are my all in all.

Seeking You as a precious jewel, Lord to give up, I'd be a fool;

You are my all in all.

Chorus: Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name!

Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name!

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame,

Rising again I bless Your name; You are my all in all

When I fall down, You pick me up;

When I am dry, You fill my cup; You are my all in all.

Yet Not I, But Through Christ in Me
1. What gift of grace is Jesus my Redeemer.
There is no more for heaven now to give.

He is my joy, my righteousness and freedom,

My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace.

To this I hold: my hope is only Jesus,

For my life is wholly bound to His.

Oh, how strange and divine, I can sing: All is mine!

Yet not I, but through Christ in me.
1. The night is dark, but I am not forsaken,
For by my side the Savior--He will stay.

I labor on in weakness and rejoicing,

For in my need, His power is displayed.

To this I hold: my Shepherd will defend me.

Through the deepest valley, He will lead.

Oh, the night has been won and I shall overcome!

Yet not I, but through Christ in me.
1. No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven.
The future sure, the price--it has been paid.

For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon,

And He was raised to overthrow the grave.

To this I hold: my sin has been defeated.

Jesus now and ever is my plea.

Oh, the chains are released, I can sing--I am free!

Yet not I, but through Christ in me.
1. With every breath, I long to follow Jesus,
For He has said that He will bring me home.

And day by day, I know He will renew me

Until I stand with joy before the throne.

To this I hold: my hope is only Jesus.

All the glory evermore to Him.

When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:

Yet not I, but through Christ in me.
