Call to Worship

Responsive Scripture Reading:

Leader: As the time approached for Him to be taken up to heaven,
Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. As He went along,
people spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
When He came near the place where the road goes down
the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

Everyone: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Leader: The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed
shouted:

Everyone: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in
the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

Hosanna to the Son of David

1. Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna to God’s mighty One!
Hosanna, wave your palms as banners,
in Him the vict’ry shall be won.

Refrain: Hosanna! Hosanna! The Messiah comes this way.
Hosanna! Hosanna! His kingdom comes today.

2. Hosanna to the King of Israel! He comes to set His people free.
Hosanna to the royal Savior, the bearer of our destiny. (Refrain)

3. Like David, He rides on a donkey, recalling the anointed King.
The crowds spread garments down before Him,
with shouts of joy His praises sing! (Refrain)

4. Lord Jesus you did cleanse the Temple.
Lord cleanse our hearts and minds this day.
Then fill us with your Holy Spirit,
your kingdom build in us we pray. (Refrain)

Children’s Sermon

We Respond to God’s Presence

Lamb of God

Your only son, no sin to hide,
But You have sent Him from Your side
To walk upon this guilty sod,
And to become the Lamb of God.

Refrain: O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God;
I love the holy Lamb of God.
O wash me in His precious blood.
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Your gift of love they crucified,
They laughed and scorned Him as He died;
The humble King they named a fraud,
And sacrificed the Lamb of God.
Repeat Refrain

I was so lost I should have died,
But You have brought me to Your side
To be led by Your staff and rod,
And to be called a lamb of God.

O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God;
I love the holy Lamb of God.
O wash me in His precious blood
Till I am just a lamb of God.

Worthy Is The Lamb

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain;
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive
Power and riches and wisdom and strength,
Honor and glory and blessing!
Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb,
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Worthy is the Lamb!

Behold the Lamb

Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb,
Slain from the foundation of the world.
For sinners crucified, O holy sacrifice,
Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb.

Crown Him, crown Him, Worthy is the Lamb.
Praise Him, praise Him, Heaven and Earth resound.

Behold the Lamb, behold the lamb,
Slain from the foundation of the world.
For sinners crucified, O holy sacrifice,
Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb.

We Worship Through Hearing

Sermon Hymn:

How Deep the Father’s Love for Us
How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure,
That He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turns His face away,
As wounds which mar the Chosen One bring many sons to glory.

Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon His shoulders;
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom;
But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer,
But this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom.

We Are Sent Forth in Worship to Share the Gospel

“Man of Sorrows,” What a Name!

“Man of sorrows!” what a name for the Son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim! Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Bearing Shame and scoffing rude, in my place condemned He stood,
Sealed my pardon with His blood; Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Guilty, vile and helpless we, Spotless Lamb of God was He;
Full atonement! Can it be? Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Lifted up was He to die, “It is finished,” was His cry;
Now in heaven exalted high, Hallelujah, what a Savior!

When He comes, our glorious King, All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we’ll sing, Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Benediction
