	Lord, I Lift Your Name on High 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. 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!

	Greatly Rejoice Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has caused us to be born again to a living hope, Who has caused us to be born again to a living hope, A hope that won't fade away, reserved in heaven for us, Protected by the power of God through faith, we are saved, we are saved! We greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible, Greatly rejoice with glorious praise, greatly rejoice in a life incorruptible, Love beyond measure, and infinite grace, Love beyond measure, and infinite grace. Through the trials of life you're working to prove our faith as gold, In Your love we're persevering for one day soon we know You'll explode through the clouds as Your shout cracks the sky, Dead in Christ will arise as You call home Your bride, And though we've not seen Your face, this greatest glory awaits, 'Till then by the power of God through faith we are saved, we are saved!

•	CONFESSING OUR SINS
	ALL: Merciful God, we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart. We have failed to be an obedient church. We have not done your will, we have broken your law, we have rebelled against your love. We have not loved our neighbors, and we have refused to proclaim your gospel. Forgive us, we pray. Free us for joyful obedience; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


•	ASSURANCE OF PARDON	Psalm 51:16-17
	PASTOR: Hear the promises of God to those who truly repent of their sins and trust in Christ: The Lord does not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; He does not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Now, lift up your hearts! PEOPLE: We lift them up to the Lord!


•	CALL TO WORSHIP	Mark 1:15; Luke 13:29; Matt. 24:14; Rev. 11:15
	PASTOR: The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the gospel! PEOPLE: People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. PASTOR: This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. ALL: The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.

RESPONDING IN SONG

Ensemble & Congregation

Shout to the Lord

My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like you:
All of my days I want to praise the wonders of your mighty love.
My Comfort, my Shelter, Tower of refuge and strength;
Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name.
I sing for joy at the work of your hands,
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand;
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
