Goodness of God

Verse 1

I love You Lord

Oh Your mercy never fails me

All my days

I've been held in Your hands


From the moment that I wake up

Until I lay my head

I will sing of the goodness of God


Chorus 1

All my life You have been faithful

All my life You have been so so good


With every breath that I am able

I will sing of the goodness of God


Verse 2

I love Your voice

You have led me through the fire


In darkest night

You are close like no other


I've known You as a father

I've known You as a friend

I have lived in the goodness of God


Bridge

Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me


Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me


With my life laid down

I’m surrendered now


I give You everything

Your goodness is running after

It's running after me


O Praise the Name

Verse 1

I cast my mind to Calvary

Where Jesus bled and died for me


I see His wounds His hands His feet

My Saviour on that cursed tree


Verse 2

His body bound and drenched in tears

They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb


The entrance sealed by heavy stone

Messiah still and all alone


Chorus 1

O praise the Name of the Lord our God

O praise His Name forevermore


For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord oh Lord our God


Verse 3

Then on the third at break of dawn

The Son of heaven rose again


O trampled death where is your sting

The angels roar for Christ the King


Verse 4

He shall return in robes of white

The blazing sun shall pierce the night


And I will rise among the saints

My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face


Chorus 2

O praise the Name of the Lord our God

O praise His Name forevermore


For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord oh Lord our God

Oh Lord oh Lord our God

Oh Lord oh Lord our God


Apostle's Creed

I believe in God

the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.


I believe in Jesus Christ, 

his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

and born of the virgin Mary.


He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried;  

he descended to hell.


The third day 

he rose again from the dead.

He ascended to heaven

and is seated at the right hand 

of God the Father almighty.


From there he will come 

to judge the living and the dead.


I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy universal* church,

the communion of saints,


the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. 

Amen.


1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:


“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;


the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”


20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.


26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”


1 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
