Prelude

Theme and Variations  Felix Mendelssohn

*Call to Worship

Psalm 139

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!

You know when I sit down and when I rise; you discern my thoughts from afar.

You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.

Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

How precious tome are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Test me and know my thoughts!

All: And see if there be any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!

*Processional Hymn of Worship

#115 “Fairest Lord Jesus"

Greeting One Another

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

*Songs of Praise

One Day (When We All Get to Heaven)

 

One day You'll make ev'rything new Jesus

One day You will bind ev'ry wound

The former things shall all pass away

No more tears

One day You'll make sense of it all Jesus

One day ev'ry question resolved

Ev'ry anxious thought left behind

No more fear

(Yes) When we all get to heaven

What a day of rejoicing that will be

When we all see Jesus

We'll sing and shout the victory

(Yes) When we all get to heaven

What a day of rejoicing that will be

When we all see Jesus

We'll sing and shout the victory

One day we will see face to face Jesus

Is there a greater vision of grace

And in a moment we shall be changed

On that day

And one day we'll be free free indeed Jesus

One day all this struggle will cease

And we will see Your glory revealed

On that day

Yes one day we will see face to face Jesus

Is there a greater vision of grace

And in a moment we shall be changed

Yes in a moment we shall be changed

In a moment we shall be changed

On that day

 

 

Lord, I Need You

 

Lord, I come, I confess Bowing here I find my rest

Without You I fall apart You're the One that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You, Every hour I need You

My one defense, my righteousness Oh God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more

Where grace is found is where You are

And where You are, Lord, I am free, Holiness is Christ in me

And where You are, Lord, I am free, Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You, Every hour I need You

My one defense, my righteousness Oh God, how I need You

So teach my song to rise to You

When temptation comes my way

And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You

Jesus, You're my hope and stay

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You, Every hour I need You

My one defense, my righteousness Oh God, how I need You

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You, Every hour I need You

My one defense, my righteousness Oh God, How I need You

Pastoral Prayer and the Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, they 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.
