May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed!

who alone does wondrous things.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe:

All My Boast Is in Jesus

Verse 1

What wonder of wonders, what love is this; that Christ would die for me!

His goodness, His merit, His righteousness, this sinner’s only plea.

O foolish pride, be crucified; the work is finished!

Chorus:

All my boast is in Jesus; all my hope is His love.

And I will glory forever in what the Cross has done.

Verse 2

Now fully forgiven, my life is filled with graces underserved.

For mercy that flowed down that sacred hill, let praises now return.

Rise up, my soul, and bless the Lord! Who else is worthy?

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

O, Praise the One, forever blessed! Him alone my heart adores.

And I will boast in nothing else than the love of Christ my Lord

Repeat Bridge

Verse 3

I boast not in riches, in strength or might, but in the grace of God.

I glory in weakness, to live is Christ in plenty or in want.

That I may know that all may see His power within me!

Repeat Chorus

Coda:

Now I stand in this freedom; ransomed, clean in His sight,

And I cannot be ashamed for my boast is Jesus Christ.

My boast is Jesus Christ. Forever, my boast is Jesus Christ.

Psalm 62B Blue Psalter, pg 382

“My Soul Finds Rest in God Alone”

Wailing Into Dancing
1. You have turned my wailing into dancing.
In place of sackcloth You clothed me with joy.

My heart will sing to You and not be silent.

I will give thanks to you evermore.

Refrain: Sing to the Lord, you saints of His.

Praise His Holy Name. Weeping may last all night,

But in the morning there is joy.
1. You have turned my wailing into dancing.
In place of sackcloth You clothed us with joy.

Our heart will sing to You and not be silent.

I will give thanks to you evermore. (Refrain)

We adore and worship Him alone.

In Your strength we live; we worship, unashamed,

For Your cause we serve; We joyfully proclaim we are Your people;

We are Your church.

Set apart to serve our loving Savior,

given power to share redemption’s plan—

We will tell the world the love of Jesus;

we will preach the cross to every land. (Repeat Refrain)

Heaven’s Prince will come to claim His own.

We will rise to reign with Him forever;

We will sing our praise around His throne. (Repeat Refrain)
