    All I Have Is Christ

    Verse 1

    I once was lost in darkest night, yet thought I knew the way

    The sin that promised joy and life had led me to the grave

    I had no hope that You would own a rebel to Your will

    And if You had not loved me first I would refuse You still

     

    Verse 2

    But as I ran my hell bound race indifferent to the cost

    You looked upon my helpless state and led me to the cross

    And I beheld God’s love displayed: You suffered in my place

    You bore the wrath reserved for me; now all I know is grace.

     

    Chorus:           Hallelujah, All I have is Christ!

    Hallelujah, Jesus is my life!

     

    Verse 3

    Now Lord, I would be Yours alone and live so all might see

    The strength to follow Your commands could never come from me.

    O Father, use my ransomed life in any way You choose

    And let my song forever be: “My only boast is You!”

    Repeat Chorus twice

    Call To Worship

     

    Scripture Reading:                                                Deuteronomy 7:6-11

    6 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

    7 It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples,

    8 but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

    9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,

    10 and repays to their face those who hate him, by destroying them. He will not be slack with one who hates him. He will repay him to his face.

    11 You shall therefore be careful to do the commandment and the statutes and the rules that I command you today.                                   (ESV).

    Declaring What We Believe

    Westminster Confession of Faith

    7.1-2 – Of God’s Covenant with Man

    1. The distance between God and the creature is so great, that although reasonable creatures do owe obedience unto him as their Creator, yet they could never have any enjoyment of him as their blessedness and reward, but by some voluntary condescension on God’s part, which he hath been pleased to express by way of covenant.
    2. The first covenant made with man was a covenant of works, wherein life was promised to Adam; and in him to his posterity, upon condition of perfect and personal obedience.

     

    We Respond to God’s Presence

     

    Rejoice

    1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always, sing it again, we rejoice.

    Delight in the love He has shown us, gratefully lift up your voice.

    His gentleness among us will join our hearts with praise.

    We gather in His goodness, a family of grace.

     

    Refrain:

    With each breath He’s given, praise the Lord!

    In these times we live in, we will praise the Lord.

    Throughout every season, I am sure

    we have every reason to praise the Lord.

     

    1. Rejoice and be anxious for nothing, praying for all that you need.

    Come with a song of thanksgiving; lay your requests at His feet.

    His peace will fall upon us, to guard our hearts and minds

    In Christ, who reigns eternal; the Shepherd of our lives.

    Repeat Refrain

     

    1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always; tell of the good He has done.

    Worship the Lord, to remember all of the joy yet to come.

    The hope that burns within us the dark cannot destroy,

    With praise that’s never ending, we say again, “Rejoice!”

    Repeat Refrain

    We have every reason to praise the Lord.

    Jesus is Lord

    “Jesus is Lord” the cry that echoes through creation;

    Resplendent pow’r, eternal Word, our Rock.

    The son of God, the King whose glory fills the heavens.

    Yet bids us come to taste this Living Bread.

    “Jesus is Lord” whose voice sustains the stars and planets,

    Yet in His wisdom laid aside His Crown.

     

    Jesus the Man, who washed our feet, who bore our suff’ring,

    Became a curse to bring salvation’s plan.

    “Jesus is Lord” the tomb is gloriously empty!

    Not even death could crush this King of love!

    The price is paid, the chains are loosed, and we’re forgiven,

    And we can run into the arms of God.

     

    “Jesus is Lord” a shout of joy, a cry of anguish,

    As He returns and every knee bows low.

    Then every eye and every heart will see His glory;

    The Judge of all will take His children home.

  • He Will Hold Me Fast

    1    When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast

    When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast

    I could never keep my hold, Through life’s fearful path

    For my love is often cold, He must hold me fast

     

    Chorus:     He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast

    For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast

     

    2    Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast

    Precious in His holy sight, He will hold me fast

    He’ll not let my soul be lost, His promises shall last

    Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast

    Repeat Chorus

     

    3    For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast

    Justice has been satisfied, He will hold me fast

    Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast

    Till our faith is turned to sight, When He comes at last

    Repeat Chorus twice
