    His Mercy Is More

    Refrain:     Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.

    Stronger than darkness, new every morn;

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

     

    1. What love could remember no wrongs we have done;

    Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum.

    Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore;

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

    (Repeat Refrain)

     

    1. What patience would wait as we constantly roam;

    What Father, so tender, is calling us home.

    He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor.

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

    (Repeat Refrain)

     

    1. What riches of kindness He lavished on us;

    His blood was the payment, His life was the cost.

    We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford;

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

    (Repeat Refrain 2 times)

    Scripture Reading:                                                     Ezekiel 36:25-29a

    25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

    26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

    27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

    28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

    29 And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses….

     

    Prayer of Invocation

     

    Declaring What We Believe

    Westminster Confession of Faith 13.1

    They, who are once effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart, and a new spirit created in them, are further sanctified, really and personally, through the virtue of Christ’s death and resurrection, by his Word and Spirit dwelling in them: the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed, and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified; and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces, to the practice of true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

    Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

    Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.

    I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see.

     

    ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and Grace my fears relieved.

    How precious did that Grace appear, the hour I first believed.

     

    My chains are gone; I’ve been set free,

    my God, my Savior has ransomed me.

    And like a flood His mercy reigns, unending love, Amazing Grace.

     

    The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures.

    He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.

     

    My chains are gone; I’ve been set free,

    my God my Savior has ransomed me.

    And like a flood His mercy reigns, unending love, Amazing Grace.

     

    The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine.

    But God who called me here below, will be forever mine,

    will be forever mine, You are forever mine.

    (Words and Music by John Newton, John P. Rees and Edwin Othello Excell  Arrangement and additional chorus by Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio)
