Creation Sings

Verse 1

Creation sings the Father’s song; He calls the sun to wake the dawn

And run the course of day, till evening comes in crimson rays.

His finger-prints in flakes of snow, His breath upon this spinning globe;

He charts the eagle’s flight, commands the newborn baby’s cry.

Chorus:   Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,

Hallelujah! Fill the earth with songs of worship;

Tell the wonders of creation’s King.

Verse 2

Creation gazed upon His face; the ageless One in time’s embrace,

Unveiled the Father’s plan of reconciling God and man.

A second Adam walked the earth,

Whose blameless life would break the curse;

Whose death would set us free to live with Him eternally.         (Chorus)

Verse 3

Creation longs for His return, when Christ shall reign upon the earth

The bitter wars that rage are birth pains of a coming age.

When He renews the land and sky, all heaven will sing and earth reply

With one resplendent theme: The glory of our God and King!  (Chorus)

Scripture Reading:                                                                 John 1:1-5

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² He was in the beginning with God.

³ All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.

⁴ In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

⁵ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe:

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate;

Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

The holy universal church; The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Hear All Creation

1. Hear all creation lift its voice;

The mountains sing and the rivers rejoice

For the name of Jesus, for His name.

And we, His people saved by grace,

We bow our hearts and we bring our praise

To the sweet Redeemer, for His name.

Chorus:           So with ev’rything we are, and ev’rything we have,

we pour out our offerings.

And if ever we should fail, the rocks will rise up

and crown Him the King of kings.

2. He mends our hearts, He keeps our ways;

He lights our nights and He leads our days

All for His Glory, for His name.

There’s nothing greater than to be His;

To bring Him glory and to fully live

For the name of Jesus, for His name.

Chorus:           So with ev’rything we are, and ev’rything we have,

we pour out our offerings.

And if ever we should fail, the rocks will rise up

and crown Him the King of kings.

God, The Uncreated One

Verse 1

God the uncreated One, the Author of salvation;

Who wrote the laws of space and time,

Who fashioned worlds to His design.

The One whom angel hosts revere, hung the stars like chandeliers,

Numbered every grain of sand, knows the heart of every man.

He is King forever, He is King forever, He is King forevermore.

Verse 2

God our fortress and our strength, the Rock on which we can depend;

Matchless in His majesty, His power and authority.

Unshaken by the schemes of man, never changing, great I AM,

Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, He is faithful through it all.

Crown Him King forever, crown Him King forever,

Crown Him King forevermore.

Verse 3

Mighty God in mortal flesh, forsaken by a traitor’s kiss;

The curse of sin and centuries did pierce the lowly Prince of Peace.

Oh, lifted high, the sinless man, crucified the spotless Lamb,

Buried by the sons of man, rescued by the Father’s hand

To reign as King forever, reign as King forever,

reign as King forevermore.

Verse 4

King Eternal, God of Grace, we crown you with the highest praise;

Heaven shouts and saints adore, “You’re holy, holy, holy, Lord!”

What joy is everlasting life, all is love and faith is sight;

Justice rolls and praises rise, at the Name of Jesus Christ.

King of kings forever, King of kings forever, King of kings forevermore.

Sermon Hymn:

From God’s Love

Offspring from God’s love outpoured, created for His glory

In holy likeness with Himself and purposed for His story

Blessed to reign, dominion given o’er land and beast man stood

God looked and saw all He’d made, beholding it was good

Born to dwell in paradise, in worship of the Father

Abiding by a single law, one fruit they should not gather

That one law proved far too much and man partook the fruit

And cursed his race to such disgrace that men could not refute

Time before our time began, the Father planned redemption

His Son would come to earth and live and die for man’s transgression

Holy Spirit would indwell men’s hearts and guarantee

Inheritance as God’s own sons for all who would believe
