Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God

Holy Spirit, living Breath of God,

Breathe new life into my willing soul.

Bring the presence of the risen Lord

To renew my heart and make me whole.

Cause Your Word to come alive in me;

Give me faith for what I cannot see;

Give me passion for Your purity.

Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.

Holy Spirit, come abide within;

May Your joy be seen in all I do—

Love enough to cover ev’ry sin

In each thought and deed and attitude,

Kindness to the greatest and the least,

Gentleness that sows the path of peace.

Turn my striving into works of grace.

Breath of God, show Christ in all I do.

Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth,

Giving life to all that God has made,

Show Your power once again on earth;

Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways.

Let the fragrance of our prayers arise.

Lead us on the road of sacrifice

That in unity the face of Christ

Will be clear for all the world to see.

Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-13

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

¹ When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.

² And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

³ And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

⁵ Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.

⁶ And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.

⁷ And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

⁸ And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?

⁹ Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,

¹¹ both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.”

¹² And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

¹³ But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate;

Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

The holy universal church; The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Refrain:     Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.

Stronger than darkness, new every morn;

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

(Repeat Refrain)

God of Grace

God of grace, amazing wonder, irresistible and free;

Oh, the miracle of mercy Jesus reaches down to me.

God of grace, I stand in wonder, as my God restores my soul.

His own blood has paid my ransom; awesome cost to make me whole.

God of grace, who loved and knew me long before the world began;

Sent my Saviour down from Heaven: Perfect God and perfect man.

God of grace, I trust in Jesus; I’m accepted as His own.

Every day new grace sustains me, as I lean on Him alone.

God of grace, I stand astounded, cleansed forgiven and secure.

All my fears are now confounded and my hope is ever sure.

God of grace, now crowned in Glory, where one day I’ll see Your face;

And forever I’ll adore You in Your everlasting grace.
