Declaring What We Believe

Westminster Confession of Faith

12.1 – Of Adoption

All those that are justified, God vouchsafes, in and for His only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption, by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God, have His name put upon them, receive the spirit of adoption, have access to the throne of grace with boldness, are enabled to cry, Abba, Father, are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened by Him as by a Father; yet never cast off, but sealed to the day of redemption, and inherit the promises, as heirs of everlasting salvation.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Come Praise and Glorify

(Based on Ephesians 1)

Come praise and glorify our God, the Father of our Lord

In Christ He has in heav’nly realms His blessings on us poured

For pure and blameless in His sight He destined us to be

And now we’ve been adopted through His Son eternally

Refrain:       To the praise of Your glory,

To the praise of Your mercy and grace

To the praise of Your glory

You are the God who saves

Come praise and glorify our God Who gives His grace in Christ

In Him our sins are washed away redeemed through sacrifice

In Him God has made known to us the myst’ry of His will

That Christ should be the head of all His purpose to fulfill     (Refrain)

Come praise and glorify our God for we’ve believed the Word

And through our faith we have a seal the Spirit of the Lord

The Spirit guarantees our hope until redemption’s done

Until we join in endless praise to God, the Three in One        (Refrain)

Blessed Be Our God and Father

Verse 1

Blessed be our God and Father who has filled our lives with blessing:

Every gift from heaven’s fullness now is ours in Jesus Christ.

Oh, what riches of His favor poured out freely from His throne!

We rejoice in praise for the glory of His grace.

Verse 2

Blessed be our God and Father who before the world’s foundation

Knew He’d make us pure and blameless, changing sinners into saints.

Oh, what mercy to be chosen and in love to bear His name!

We rejoice in praise for the glory of His grace.

Chorus:

Hallelujah! To Your name be all the glory!

Hallelujah! To Your name be all praise!

Verse 3

Blessed be our God and Father who with unimagined kindness

Gave His only Son to save us for the glory of His name.

Oh, what power in His passion, raised from death to endless reign!

We rejoice in praise for the glory of His grace.

I Am Not My Own

Verse 1

The One who made the heavens made my heart and soul,

Before I drew a breath, I was loved and known.

I am His creation, the Maker’s masterpiece,

and all that He designs will be done in me.

Verse 2

My Body is a temple of the Living God,

I’ll worship in this house that His blood has bought.

As I bear His image, oh may I not profane

The holiness I hold in this earthly frame.

Refrain

I belong to the Lord; oh, I am not my own.

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

I will honor Him, for this I know:

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

Verse 3

And if He has redeemed me, I am not my own;

The measure of my worth is His love alone.

He declares my standing and He declares my state.

So I will know myself by the name He gave.

Repeat Refrain

Verse 4

I am not my own, and now my heart is free;

Oh, Maker, come and make what You will of me.

There is nothing broken that You cannot repair,

So Lord, I leave my life in your loving care.

I belong to the Lord; oh, I am not my own.

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

I will honor Him, for this I know:

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

I will honor Him, for this I know:

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

And Can It Be That I Should Gain?

And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood?

Died He for me, who caused His pain?

For me, who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

He left His Father’s throne above, So free, so infinite His grace!

Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam’s helpless race!

‘Tis mercy all, immense and free, For, O, my God, it found out me.

Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature’s night.

Thine eye diffused a quickening ray;

I woke – the dungeon flamed with light!

My chains fell off, my heart was free,

I rose, went forth, and followed Thee

Amazing Love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

No condemnation now I dread: Jesus, and all in Him is mine!

Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine,

Bold I approach the eternal throne,

And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
