I Will Delight In The Law of the Lord

I will delight in the law of the Lord,

I will meditate day and night.

Then, like a tree firmly planted,

I’ll be grounded in Your Word.                          Repeat

Blessed is the one who follows the way of the Lord;

Blessed is the one.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe:

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.

1. 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)

2. 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)

3. 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)

We Respond to God’s Presence

Keep What You Have Believed

(2 Timothy 3:14-17)

1. Keep what you have believed, continue what you learned,

Because you know from whom you learned the Holy Word of God.

That Word will make you wise through faith in Jesus Christ;

Salvation comes to those who trust in God with steadfast hope.

2. All Scripture is God-breathed, and useful for our lives

To teach, rebuke, correct, and train in righteousness and faith,

So that the church may grow, God’s people be equipped

For all good work to serve our God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Psalm 40 C                                                                 Blue Psalter, pg 250

I Will Wait Upon the Lord (Psalm 40)

Refrain:    I will wait upon the Lord for he will hear my cry.

He has pulled me from the grave and set me by his side.

He has set my feet upon the solid ground of the Cornerstone.

1. He has put a new song on my tongue.

A brand new song of praise to our God, to our God.  (Refrain)

2. Many will hear the things you’ve done for me.

And many more will see the power of your deeds, of your deeds.

(Refrain)

3. God will not remove his mercy from me.

His goodness and his truth have set me free, set me free. (Refrain)

4. Lord, you’ve always been my help and my strength,

And I will trust in you to hear me again, hear me again. (Refrain)

King of the Ages

Refrain:    King of the Ages, Almighty God;

Perfect love, ever just and true

Who will not fear You and bring You praise?

All the nations will come to You.

1. Your ways of love have won my heart,

And brought me joy unending;

Your saving power at work in me,

Bringing peace and the hope of glory.                (Refrain)

2. Your arms of love are reaching out

To every soul that seeks You.

Your light will shine in all the earth

Bringing grace and a great salvation.                  (Refrain)

3. The day will come when You appear

And every eye shall see You.

Then we shall rise with hearts ablaze

With a song we will sing forever!                       (Refrain)

Let the Earth Resound

1. Let the earth resound with songs of praise

to the Father’s power and love;

For the One who set each star in place chose to set His heart on us.

To the One whose might gives victory, yet whose mercies never cease;

As the tapestry of history tells the story of His grace.

Chorus:

King Immortal Faithful God; Crowned with splendour, rich in love.

Let the heavens and the earth resound with songs of praise to You.

2. Let the earth be stilled before the sight of a Father’s sacrifice

That revealed the depths of love divine in the face of Jesus Christ.

Through a life of full obedience and a death in agony,

He removed the rebel’s punishment and He set the pris’ner free.

Repeat Chorus

3. Let the earth resound with songs of faith at the wonder yet to come,

When all sin and pain are put to death

and the Church and Christ are one.

When we stand as God’s great family and we meet the Father’s gaze,

And share in His eternal joy as we join in ceaseless praise.

Repeat Chorus

Red Hymnal #495 + additional verse

It Is Well with My Soul

1. When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:     It is well, (It is well,) with my soul, (with my soul,)

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

2. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed His own blood for my soul.             (Repeat Refrain)

3. My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—

My sin—not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!           (Repeat Refrain)

4. And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,

Even so—it is well with my soul.                            (Repeat Refrain)
