Gathering the Family Together

Depth of Mercy

1. Depth of mercy! Can there be mercy reaching even me?

God, the just, his wrath forbears, me the chief of sinners spares.

So many times my heart has strayed from his kind and perfect ways,

Making clear my desperate need for his blood poured out for me.

2. Give me grace, Lord, let me own all the wrongs that I have done.

Let me now my sins deplore, look to you and sin no more.

There, for me, the Savior stands, holding forth his wounded hands,

Scars which ever cry for me; once condemned but now set free.

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                    Colossians 1:24-29

Paul’s Ministry to the Church

²⁴ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,

²⁵ of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

²⁶ the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.

²⁷ To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

²⁸ Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

²⁹ For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

Prayer of Invocation

Congregational Response:

Make Me a Servant

Make me a servant, humble and meek,

Lord, let me lift up those who are weak,

And may the prayer of my heart always be;

Make me a servant, make me a servant,

Make me a servant today.

Declaring What We Believe

By Faith

Verse 1:    By faith we see the hand of God

In the light of creation’s grand design

In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness

Who walk by faith and not by sight

Verse 2:    By faith our fathers roamed the earth

With the power of His promise in their hearts

Of a holy city built by God's own hand

A place where peace and justice reign

Refrain:    We will stand as children of the promise

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul’s reward

Till the race is finished and the work is done

We’ll walk by faith and not by sight

Verse 3:    By faith the prophets saw a day

When the longed-for Messiah would appear

With the power to break the chains of sin and death

And rise triumphant from the grave

Verse 4:    By faith the church was called to go

In the power of the Spirit to the lost

To deliver captives and to preach good news

In every corner of the earth

Repeat Refrain

Verse 5:    By faith this mountain shall be moved

And the power of the gospel shall prevail

For we know in Christ all things are possible

For all who call upon His name

Repeat Refrain

We Respond to God’s Presence

Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer

Jesus, draw me ever nearer, as I labor through the storm.

You have called me to this passage, and I’ll follow, though I’m worn.

May this journey bring a blessing, may I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart’s testing, with Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus, guide me through the tempest; Keep my spirit staid and sure.

When the midnight meets the morning, let me love You even more.

May this journey bring a blessing, may I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart’s testing, with Your likeness let me wake.

Let the treasures of the trial form within me as I go

And at the end of this long passage, let me leave them at Your throne.

May this journey bring a blessing, may I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart’s testing, with Your likeness let me wake.

Grace Alone

Every promise we can make, Every prayer and step of faith,

Every difference we will make, Is only by His grace.

Every mountain we will climb, Every ray of hope we shine,

Every blessing left behind, Is only by His grace.

Chorus:     Grace alone which God supplies,

Strength unknown He will provide.

Christ in us our Cornerstone,

We will go forth in grace alone.

Every soul we long to reach, Every heart we hope to teach,

Everywhere we share His peace, Is only by His grace.

Every loving word we say, Every tear we wipe away,

Every sorrow turned to praise, Is only by His grace.

Repeat Chorus twice

I Come by the Blood

You are the perfect and righteous God Whose presence bears no sin

You bid me come to Your holy place

How can I enter in When Your presence bears no sin?

Through Him, who poured out His life for me, The atoning Lamb of God

Through Him, and His work alone I boldly come

Chorus:   I come by the blood, I come by the cross

Where Your mercy flows, From hands pierced for me

For I dare not stand on my righteousness

My every hope rests on what Christ has done

And I come by the blood

You are the high and exalted King, The One the angels fear

So far above me in every way, Lord, how can I draw near

To the One the angels fear?

Through Him who laid down His life for me And ascended to Your side

Through Him, through Jesus alone I boldly come          (Repeat Chorus)
