Call To Worship

Responsive Reading

Leader:         As the time approached for Him to be taken up to heaven,
Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.  As He went along,
people spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

When He came near the place where the road goes down
the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

Everyone:   “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Leader:         The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed
shouted:

Everyone:   “Hosanna to the Son of David!  Blessed is He who comes in
the name of the Lord!  Hosanna in the highest!”

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

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)

We Will Glorify

We will glorify the King of kings; We will glorify the Lamb.

We will glorify the Lord of lords, Who is the great “I Am”.

Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty; We will bow before His throne.

We will worship Him in righteousness, We will worship Him alone.

He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth; He is Lord of all who live.

He is Lord above the universe; All praise to Him we give.

Hallelujah to the King of kings;  Hallelujah to the Lamb.

Hallelujah to the Lord of lords, Who is the great “I Am”

Lamb of God

Your only son, no sin to hide,

But You have sent Him from Your side

To walk upon this guilty sod,

And to become the Lamb of God.

Refrain:    O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God;

I love the holy Lamb of God.

O wash me in His precious blood.

My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Your gift of love they crucified,

They laughed and scorned Him as He died;

The humble King they named a fraud,

And sacrificed the Lamb of God.

Repeat Refrain

I was so lost I should have died,

But You have brought me to Your side

To be led by Your staff and rod,

And to be called a lamb of God.

O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God;

I love the holy Lamb of God.

O wash me in His precious blood

Till I am just a lamb of God.
