    Call To Worship

     

    Scripture Reading:                                                         Hebrews 12:1-3

    1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

    2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

    3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

     

    Prayer of Invocation

     

    Declaring What We Believe

    My Worth is Not in What I Own

    My worth is not in what I own, not in the strength of flesh and bone

    But in the costly wounds of love at the cross

    My worth is not in skill or name, in win or lose, in pride or shame

    But in the blood of Christ that flowed at the cross

     

    Refrain:

    I rejoice in my Redeemer; Greatest Treasure, Wellspring of my soul

    I will trust in Him, no other. My soul is satisfied in Him alone.

     

    As summer flowers we fade and die; Fame, youth and beauty hurry by

    But life eternal calls to us at the cross

    I will not boast in wealth or might or human wisdom’s fleeting light

    But I will boast in knowing Christ at the cross

    Repeat Refrain

     

    Two wonders here that I confess: My worth and my unworthiness

    My value fixed - my ransom paid at the cross

    Repeat Refrain

    We Respond to God’s Presence

     

     

    O Church, Arise

    O Church, arise, and put your armor on;

    hear the call of Christ our Captain.

    For now the weak can say that they are strong

    in the strength that God has given.

    With a shield of faith and belt of Truth,

    we’ll stand against the devil’s lies;

    And army bold, whose battle cry is love,

    reaching out to those in darkness.

     

    Our call to war to love the captive soul,

    but to rage against the captor;

    And with the sword that makes the wounded whole,

    we will fight with faith and valor.

    When faced with trials on every side,

    we know the outcome is secure,

    And Christ will have the prize for which He died

    – an inheritance of nations.

     

    Come see the cross, where love and mercy meet,

    as the Son of God is stricken;

    Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,

    for the Conqueror has risen!

    And as the stone is rolled away

    and Christ emerges from the grave,

    This victory march continues till the day

    every eye and heart shall see Him.

     

    So Spirit come, put strength in every stride,

    give grace for every hurdle,

    That we may run with faith to win the prize

    of a servant good and faithful.

    As saints of old still line the way,

    retelling triumphs of His grace,

    We hear their calls and hunger for the day

    when with Christ we stand in Glory.

  • Yet Not I, But Through Christ in Me

    1. What gift of grace is Jesus my Redeemer.

    There is no more for heaven now to give.

    He is my joy, my righteousness and freedom,

    My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace.

    To this I hold: my hope is only Jesus,

    For my life is wholly bound to His.

    Oh, how strange and divine, I can sing: All is mine!

    Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

     

    1. The night is dark, but I am not forsaken,

    For by my side the Savior--He will stay.

    I labor on in weakness and rejoicing,

    For in my need, His power is displayed.

    To this I hold: my Shepherd will defend me.

    Through the deepest valley, He will lead.

    Oh, the night has been won and I shall overcome!

    Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

     

    1. No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven.

    The future sure, the price--it has been paid.

    For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon,

    And He was raised to overthrow the grave.

    To this I hold: my sin has been defeated.

    Jesus now and ever is my plea.

    Oh, the chains are released, I can sing--I am free!

    Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

     

    1. With every breath, I long to follow Jesus,

    For He has said that He will bring me home.

    And day by day, I know He will renew me

    Until I stand with joy before the throne.

    To this I hold: my hope is only Jesus.

    All the glory evermore to Him.

    When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:

    “Yet not I, but through Christ in me.”

    Speak, O Lord

    1       Speak, O Lord, as we come to You

    To receive the food of Your Holy Word.

    Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;

    Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,

    That the light of Christ might be seen today

    In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.

    Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us

    All Your purposes for Your glory.

     

    2       Teach us, Lord, full obedience,

    Holy reverence, true humility;

    Test our thoughts and our attitudes

    In the radiance of Your purity.

    Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see

    Your majestic love and authority.

    Words of pow'r that can never fail—

    Let their truth prevail over unbelief.

     

    1. Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;

    Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us—

    Truths unchanged from the dawn of time

    That will echo down through eternity.

    And by grace we'll stand on Your promises,

    And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us.

    Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built

    And the earth is filled with Your glory.

    Make Me a Servant

    Make me a servant, humble and meek,

    Lord, let me lift up those who are weak,

    And may the prayer of my heart always be;

    Make me a servant, make me a servant,

    Make me a servant today.
