Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 9:23-24

²³ Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches,

Declaring What We Believe

Westminster Confession of Faith

3.5 – Of God’s Eternal Decrees

Those of mankind that are predestinated unto life, God, before the foundation of the world was laid, according to his eternal and immutable purpose, and the secret counsel and good pleasure of his will, has chosen, in Christ, unto everlasting glory, out of his mere free grace and love, without any foresight of faith, or good works, or perseverance in either of them, or any other thing in the creature, as conditions, or causes moving him thereunto; and all to the praise of his glorious grace.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Because of His Mercy

One time we too were foolish disobedient deceived

Enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures

We lived in malice and envy

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared

He saved us, Saved not because of righteous things we have done

But because of His mercy, Because of His mercy

He saved us because of His mercy

He saved us because of His mercy

Verse 2 – Twice

He saved us through the washing

Through the washing of rebirth

Birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit

Through Jesus Christ our Savior

Repeat Chorus

Bridge – Three times

So that having been justified by His grace

We might become heirs

Final Chorus – Twice

Because of His mercy, Because of His mercy

He saved us because of His mercy

I Know Whom I Have Believed

Verse 1:

I know not why God’s wondrous grace to me He hath made known,

Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love redeemed me for His own.

But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.”

Verse 2:

I know not how this saving faith to me He did impart,

Nor how believing in His word wrought peace within my heart.

But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.”

Verse 3:

I know not how the Spirit moves, convincing men of sin,

Revealing Jesus through the word, creating faith in Him.

But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.”

Verse 4:

I know not when my Lord may come, at night or noonday fair,

Nor if I walk the vale with Him, or meet Him in the air.

But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.”

Words: Daniel W. Whittle; Music: James McGranahan

He Will Hold Me Fast

1    When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast

When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast

I could never keep my hold, Through life’s fearful path

For my love is often cold, He must hold me fast

Chorus:     He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast

For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast

2    Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast

Precious in His holy sight, He will hold me fast

He’ll not let my soul be lost, His promises shall last

Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast

Repeat Chorus

3    For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast

Justice has been satisfied, He will hold me fast

Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast

Till our faith is turned to sight, When He comes at last

Repeat Chorus Twice

All My Boast Is in Jesus

Verse 1

What wonder of wonders, what love is this; that Christ would die for me!

His goodness, His merit, His righteousness, this sinner’s only plea.

All my boast is in Jesus; all my hope is His love.

And I will glory forever in what the Cross has done.

Now fully forgiven, my life is filled with graces undeserved.

For mercy that flowed down that sacred hill, let praises now return.

Rise up, my soul, and bless the Lord! Who else is worthy?

O, Praise the One, forever blessed! Him alone my heart adores.

And I will boast in nothing less than the love of Christ my Lord

I glory in weakness, to live is Christ in plenty or in want.

That I may know that all may see His power within me!

Now I stand in this freedom; ransomed, clean in His sight,

And I cannot be ashamed for my boast is Jesus Christ.

My boast is Jesus Christ. Forever, my boast is Jesus Christ.
