Who gladly choose you now.

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                        Romans 13:8-10

⁸ Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

⁹ For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

¹⁰ Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Declaring What We Believe

Lord, I Lift Your Name on High

Verse:

Lord, I lift Your name on high,

Lord, I love to sing Your praises,

I’m so glad You’re in my life,

I’m so glad You came to save us.

Chorus:

You came from heaven to earth to show the way,

From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay;

From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky;

Lord, I lift Your name on high.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Verse 1:

Jesus, I my cross have taken,

All to leave and follow Thee.

Destitute, despised, forsaken,

Thou from hence my all shall be.

Perish every fond ambition,

All I’ve sought or hoped or known.

Yet how rich is my condition!

God and heaven are still my own.

Verse 2:

Let the world despise and leave me,

They have left my Savior, too.

Human hearts and looks deceive me;

Thou art not, like them, untrue.

O while Thou dost smile upon me,

God of wisdom, love, and might,

Foes may hate and friends disown me,

Show Thy face and all is bright.

Verse 3:

Man may trouble and distress me,

‘Twill but drive me to Thy breast.

Life with trials hard may press me;

Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.

Oh, ‘tis not in grief to harm me

While Thy love is left to me;

Oh, ‘twere not in joy to charm me,

Were that joy unmixed with Thee.

Verse 4:

Go, then, earthly fame and treasure,

Come disaster, scorn and pain

In Thy service, pain is pleasure,

With Thy favor, loss is gain

I have called Thee Abba Father,

I have stayed my heart on Thee

Storms may howl, and clouds may gather;

All must work for good to me.

Verse 5:

Soul, then know thy full salvation

Rise o’er sin and fear and care

Joy to find in every station,

Something still to do or bear.

Think what Spirit dwells within thee,

Think what Father’s smiles are thine,

Think that Jesus died to win thee,

Child of heaven, canst thou repine.

Verse 6:

Haste thee on from grace to glory,

Armed by faith, and winged by prayer.

Heaven’s eternal days before thee,

God’s own hand shall guide us there.

Soon shall close thy earthly mission,

Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days,

Hope shall change to glad fruition,

Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Behold Our God

Verse 1:           Who has held the oceans in His hands?

Who has numbered every grain of sand?

Kings and nations tremble at His voice

All creation rises to rejoice

Chorus:           Behold our God seated on His throne

Come let us adore Him

Behold our King nothing can compare

Come let us adore Him!

Verse 2:           Who has given counsel to the Lord?

Who can question any of His Words?

Who can teach the One who knows all things?

Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:           Who has felt the nails upon His hands

Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?

God eternal humbled to the grave

Jesus, Savior risen now to reign!

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Men:       You will reign forever!

Women: Let Your glory fill the earth (to Chorus)

Today, we begin recognizing the children in our church who have turned ten and will stay in worship with the congregation.
