PREPARING IN STILLNESS

 
 

INTROIT

Choir
  Lord, For Thy Tender Mercies’ Sake

Lord, for Thy tender mercies’ sake, lay not our sins to our charge
But forgive that is past and give us grace to amend our sinful lives
To decline from sin and incline to virtue
That we may walk with a perfect heart before Thee now and ever more.

 

CALL TO WORSHIP

from Psalm 138
 

PASTOR: I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise.

PEOPLE: I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted your name and your word above all things.

PASTOR: When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted.

PEOPLE: Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.

 

PRAISING THE LORD

Hymn 296(v. 1,3,5-6)
  All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name!  

CALL TO CONFESSION

Isaiah 59:12, 20
 

LEADER: For our offenses are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us.

PEOPLE: Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities:

ALL: "The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins," declares the Lord.

 

CONFESSING OUR SINS PRIVATELY

 

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

1 John 1:6-7
 

LEADER: Hear the promises of God to those who truly repent of their sins and trust in Christ: If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. Now, lift up your hearts!

PEOPLE: We lift them up to the Lord!

RESPONDING IN SONG

And lift our voice, (and lift our voice); To sing your praise, (to sing your praise).

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!

THANKING GOD FOR HIS PRESENCE

 
 

LEADER: We give thanks to you, Lord, for you are good.
ALL: Your love endures forever. Amen.

CONFESSING OUR FAITH

The Nicene Creed
 

LEADER: People of God, what do we believe?

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of his Father before all worlds.
God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God,
begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made;
who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary,
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered and was buried;
and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son;
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified;
who spoke by the prophets;
and we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church;
we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;
and we look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Make A Joyful Noise (Harlan)

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands
Come before His presence with joyful singing
Know ye the Lord is God; He hath made us
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise
Be thankful unto Him and bless His name
For the Lord is good, His mercy everlasting
His truth endureth to all generations

PRAISING OUR GOD

Doxology (Hymn 733)
 

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below, Alleluia, Alleluia
Praise him above, ye heav’nly host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

DEDICATING OUR LIVES & GIFTS

 
 
Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

PREPARING TO HEAR GOD'S WORD

Ensemble & Congregation
  I Will Offer Up My Life

I will offer up my life in spirit and truth,
pouring out the oil of love as my worship to you.
In surrender I must give my ev'ry part,
Lord, receive the sacrifice of a broken heart.

Jesus, what can I give, what can I bring
to so faithful a friend, to so loving a King?
Savior, what can be said, what can be sung
as a praise of your name for the things you have done?
Oh, my words could not tell, not even in part
of the debt of love that is owed
by this thankful heart.

You deserve my ev'ry breath, for you've paid the great cost,
giving up your life to death, even death on a cross.
You took all my shame away, there defeated my sin,
opened up the gates of heav'n and have beckoned me in.

Repeat Chorus
