Prelude

“The Lord’s Prayer (Setting I)”          Johann Pachelbel

*Call to Worship

Psalm 40

I waited for the Lord; he inclined tome and heard my cry.

He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.

You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare to you!

I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.

In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear.

Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.

All: Then is aid, “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me: I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is withing my heart.”

*Processional Hymn of Worship

#712 “The Kingdom of God Is Justice and Joy"

Greeting One Another

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

*Songs of Praise

Death Was Arrested

 

Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin

Lost without hope with no place to begin

Your love made a way to let mercy come in

When death was arrested and my life began

 

Ash was redeemed only beauty remains

My orphan heart was given a name

My mourning grew quiet my feet rose to dance

When death was arrested and my life began

 

Chorus

Oh Your grace so free washes over me

You have made me new now life begins with You

It's Your endless love pouring down on us

You have made us new now life begins with You

 

Released from my chains I'm a pris'ner no more

My shame was a ransom He faithfully bore

He cancelled my debt and He called me His friend

When death was arrested and my life began

 

Our Savior displayed on a criminal's cross

Darkness rejoiced as though Heaven had lost

But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand

That's when death was arrested and my life began

 

Bridge

Oh we're free free forever we're free

Come join the song of all the redeemed

Yes we're free free forever amen

When death was arrested and my life began

 

 

The Heart Of Worship

 

When the music fades all is stripped away

And I simply come

Longing just to bring something that's of worth

That will bless Your heart

 

Pre-Chorus

I'll bring You more than a song

For a song in itself is not what You have required

You search much deeper within

Through the way things appear

You're looking into my heart

 

Chorus

I'm coming back to the heart of worship

And it's all about You all about You Jesus

I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it

When it's all about You all about You Jesus

 

King of endless worth no one could express

How much You deserve

Though I'm weak and poor all I have is Yours

Ev'ry single breath

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.

*Doxology and "My Country Tis of Thee"

Praise God from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light;

Protect us by Thy might – great God, our King.
