Prelude

“A Pleasant Thought”  Florence Beatrice Price

*Call to Worship

Matthew 25:34-40



Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, naked and clothe you?

And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?

ALL: And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

*Processional Hymn of Worship

Greeting One Another

"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” - John 13:35

*Songs of Praise

10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)

 

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,

Worship His holy name.

Sing like never before, Oh my soul

I'll worship Your holy name. 

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning;

It's time to sing Your song again.

Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me,

Let me be singing when the evening comes.          

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,

Worship His holy name.

Sing like never before, Oh my soul

I'll worship Your holy name.

You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger.

Your name is great, and Your heart is kind.

For all Your goodness, I will keep on singing;

Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.            

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,

Worship His holy name.

Sing like never before, Oh my soul,

I'll worship Your holy name. 

And on that day when my strength is failing,

The end draws near, and my time has come;

Still my soul will sing Your praise unending:

Ten thousand years and then forevermore! 

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,

Worship His holy name.

Sing like never before, Oh my soul,

I'll worship Your holy name, 

I'll worship Your holy name, 

I'll worship Your holy name. 

 

 

By Your Grace

 

I’m aware of everything that’s wrong with me

But still You accept me anyway

I live with a past I can’t get past and it still haunts me

So I’m askin’ for the courage to make a change

By Your grace, I have hope

You’ve already paid every debt I owe

Please take my chains and make me see

That by Your grace, I’ve been set free

Teach me, Lord, to seek You day by day

Let only You define just where I stand

Let me not take for granted

All the depths of Your forgiveness

Because the only way I’m gonna be a better man

Is by Your grace, I have hope

You’ve already paid every debt I owe

Please take my chains and make me see

That by Your grace, I’ve been set free

I’ve got a long way to go

But Lord, I know

There’s not a step I’m gonna take

When You’re not with me (Repeat)

You’re always with me

And by Your grace, I have hope

You’ve already paid every debt I owe

Please take my chains and make me see

That by Your grace, I’ve been set free

By Your grace, I’ve been set free

Pastoral Prayer and the Lord's Prayer

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. 

Choir Anthem

“O God, Beyond All Praising”                                                Gustav Holst

O God beyond all praising, we worship You today

And sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay;

For we can only wonder at every gift You send,

At blessings without number and mercies without end:


We lift our hearts before You and wait upon Your Word,

We honor and adore You, our great and mighty Lord.

                 

Then hear, O gracious Savior, accept the love we bring,

That we who know Your favor may serve You as our king;

 And whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill,

     

We’ll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless You still:

To marvel at Your beauty and glory in your ways,

 And make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise.
