O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
- O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
- O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
- O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
- O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Call To Worship
Scripture Reading: I John 2:1-6
1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:
6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
Prayer of Invocation
Declaring What We Believe
Westminster Confession of Faith 16.3 – Good Works
Leader:
Believers get the ability to do good works entirely from the Spirit of Christ. In addition to the other particular effects of God’s grace already received, believers must be directed by the Holy Spirit in order to will and to do what pleases God. However, they are not therefore to grow spiritually lazy, waiting for some special guidance from the Spirit before doing anything commanded by God. Rather, they should diligently attempt to identify what good works God has commanded in his word and then try their best to do all of them, praying earnestly and daily for the empowering and enabling of the Holy Spirit, who lives in them.
We Respond to God’s Presence
We Believe
(Apostles Creed)
Refrain: We believe in one true God; Father, Spirit, Son;
One Church, one faith, one Lord of all—His Kingdom come.
- We believe in God the Father Almighty, Lord of Life;
Creator of the Heavens, the earth, the sea, the sky;
And we believe in Jesus, the only Son of God;
Born of the virgin Mary; He lived as one of us. (Refrain)
- We believe that Jesus suffered, was beaten, crucified;
He died and He was buried; entombed in darkest night.
The third day rose victorious; ascended into Heaven;
Will one day come to judge us, the living and the dead. (Refrain)
- We believe in God the Spirit, One Church empowered by Him;
Communion of God’s people; forgiveness of our sin.
Our bodies resurrected to everlasting life;
To worship, love and wonder before the throne of Christ. (Refrain)

Praise be to you, Lord, teach me your decrees, teach me your decrees.
Praise be to you, Lord, teach me your decrees, teach me your decrees.
Praise be, praise be, praise be to you, Lord!

With my lips I recount all the laws,
all the laws that come from your mouth.
With my lips I recount all the laws,
all the laws that come from your mouth.
Open my eyes, that I may see, wonderful things in your Law.
Open my eyes, that I may see, wonderful things in your Law!

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

When We See Your Face
Verse 1
Though the dark is overwhelming And the brightest lights grow dim
Though the Word of God is trampled on by foolish men
Though the wicked never stumble and abound in every place
We will all be humbled when we see Your face.Verse 2
And the demons we’ve been fighting those without and those within
Will be underneath our feet to never rise again.
All our sins will be behind us through the blood of Christ erased,
And we’ll taste Your kindness when we see Your face.
Chorus: We will see, we will know
Like we’ve never known before.
We’ll be found, we’ll be home
We’ll be Yours forevermore.
Verse 3
All the waiting will be over. Every sorrow will be healed.
All the dreams it seemed could never be will all be real,
And You’ll gather us together in Your arms of endless grace,
As Your Bride forever when we see Your face
Repeat Chorus twice
Tag: And You’ll gather us together
In your arms of endless grace
As Your Bride forever when we see Your face
