Come Praise and Glorify

(Based on Ephesians 1)

Come praise and glorify our God, the Father of our Lord

In Christ He has in heav’nly realms His blessings on us poured

For pure and blameless in His sight He destined us to be

And now we’ve been adopted through His Son eternally

Refrain:       To the praise of Your glory,

To the praise of Your mercy and grace

To the praise of Your glory

You are the God who saves

Come praise and glorify our God Who gives His grace in Christ

In Him our sins are washed away redeemed through sacrifice

In Him God has made known to us the myst’ry of His will

That Christ should be the head of all His purpose to fulfill     (Refrain)

Come praise and glorify our God for we’ve believed the Word

And through our faith we have a seal the Spirit of the Lord

The Spirit guarantees our hope until redemption’s done

Until we join in endless praise to God, the Three in One        (Refrain)

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                              Isaiah 33:17-22 (NIV)

¹⁷ Your eyes will see the king in his beauty
and view a land that stretches afar.

¹⁸ In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:
“Where is that chief officer?
Where is the one who took the revenue?
Where is the officer in charge of the towers?”

¹⁹ You will see those arrogant people no more,
people whose speech is obscure,
whose language is strange and incomprehensible.

²⁰ Look on Zion, the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.

²¹ There the LORD will be our Mighty One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.
No galley with oars will ride them,
no mighty ship will sail them.

²² For the LORD is our judge,
the LORD is our lawgiver,
the LORD is our king;
it is he who will save us.

“We Will Extol You, God and King”

Hear the Call of the Kingdom

Hear the call of the kingdom, lift your eyes to the King,

Let His song rise within you as a fragrant offering

Of how God rich in mercy came in Christ to redeem

All who trust in His unfailing grace

Hear the call of the Kingdom to be children of light

With the mercy of heaven the humility of Christ

Walking justly before Him, loving all that is right

That the life of Christ may shine through us

Refrain:    King of Heaven we will answer the call

We will follow bringing hope to the world

Filled with passion filled with power to proclaim

Salvation in Jesus’ name

Hear the call of the Kingdom to reach out to the lost

With the Father’s compassion in the wonder of the cross

Bringing peace and forgiveness and a hope yet to come

Let the nations put their trust in Him

We Are Sent Forth in Worship

to Share the Gospel

Jesus is Lord

“Jesus is Lord” the cry that echoes through creation;

Resplendent pow’r, eternal Word, our Rock.

The son of God, the King whose glory fills the heavens.

Yet bids us come to taste this Living Bread.

“Jesus is Lord” whose voice sustains the stars and planets,

Yet in His wisdom laid aside His Crown.

Jesus the Man, who washed our feet, who bore our suff’ring,

Became a curse to bring salvation’s plan.

“Jesus is Lord” the tomb is gloriously empty!

Not even death could crush this King of love!

The price is paid, the chains are loosed, and we’re forgiven,

And we can run into the arms of God.

“Jesus is Lord” a shout of joy, a cry of anguish,

As He returns and every knee bows low.

Then every eye and every heart will see His glory;

The Judge of all will take His children home.
