Gathering the Family Together
Psalm 122 A Blue Psalter, pg 807
Rejoice, Rejoice, Come Sing with Me
Rejoice, rejoice, come sing with me: “This is the house of God!”
The temple gates swing wide and free—this is the house of God!
For every tribe and every race this is the house of God!
God calls us to this holy place—this is the house of God!
In market square and city street we seek the peace of God.
Before the ruler’s judgment seat, we seek the peace of God.
In joyful song and whispered prayer we seek the peace of God.
God’s city can be anywhere we seek the peace of God.

Call To Worship
Scripture Reading: Psalm 61:1-5
Lead Me to the Rock
1 Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;2 from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,3 for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.4 Let me dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah5 For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.Prayer of Invocation
Psalm 143 A Blue Psalter, pg 936
Hear My Prayer, O God
Hear my prayer, O God, and listen to my plea;
Faithful, righteous One, give ear and answer me.
Judge me not, I pray; no merit dare I claim;
Knowing my own faults, I trust in your just Name.
Hounded by a foe who crushed me to the ground,
I am like the dead or those in prison bound.
Hopeless, numbed by fear, I ponder all your care;
Thirsty as parched earth, I lift my hands in prayer.
Answer soon, O God; my spirit faints in me;
Do not hide your face, or I will cease to be.
When the morning dawns, make known your love anew;
Show me how to walk, for I will trust in you.
Keep me safe, O God, and help me learn your will;
Let your Spirit lead through level pathways still.
For your great Name’s sake, my griefs and fears dispel;
Free me from my foes, that I may serve you well.

Declaring What We Believe:
I Peter 1:3-9
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
5 who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,
9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
We Respond to God’s Presence
The Lord Is My Salvation
The grace of God has reached for me and pulled me from the raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground. The Lord is my salvation.
I will not fear when darkness falls
His strength will help me scale these walls
I’ll see the dawn of the rising sun. The Lord is my salvation
Refrain:
Who is like the Lord our God? Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the vict’ry won. The Lord is my salvation
My hope is hidden in the Lord; He flow’rs each promise of His Word
When winter fades I know spring will come. The Lord is my salvation
In times of waiting, times of need when I know loss, when I am weak
I know His grace will renew these days. The Lord is my salvation
Repeat Refrain
And when I reach my final day He will not leave me in the grave
But I will rise, Christ will call me home; The Lord is my salvation
Repeat Refrain
Doxology:
Glory be to God the Father; Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit; The Lord is our salvation (Repeat Doxology)

His Mercy Is More
- What love could remember no wrongs we have done;
Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum.
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore;
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
Refrain: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.
Stronger than darkness, new every morn;
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
- What patience would wait as we constantly roam;
What Father, so tender, is calling us home.
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor.
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
Refrain: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.
Stronger than darkness, new every morn;
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
- What riches of kindness He lavished on us;
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost.
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford;
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
Refrain: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.
Stronger than darkness, new every morn;
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
(Repeat Refrain)

O God, My Joy
O God, my joy, You reign above in radiant splendor and beauty.
Your word has drawn my heart to love the awesome sight of Your glory.
Your blazing light and gospel grace shine brightly from my Savior’s face.
No other wonder would I see than Christ enthroned in His glory!
Sustained by joy in trial and pain, I trust Your wisdom and mercy.
Through suffering that Your love ordains, more like Your Son You will make me.
For Christ embraced the cross of shame, beholding glorious joys to come.
O give me faith like His to see that suffering lifts me to glory!
Compelled by joy, I fight the sin that turns my gaze from Your glory.
Your Holy Spirit dwells within: His presence arms me for vict’ry.
Let death and hell against me rise; through death I’ll gain eternal joys.
All powers of hell will bend the knee before my great King of glory!
