Prelude

Prelude on “Wondrous Love”            Charles Callahan

*Call to Worship

Matthew 6:25-33

 

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?

And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,

Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

All: But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

*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

That’s Who I Praise

 

I wanna dance like David, I want a faith like Paul

I wanna sing like Silas Tearing down the prison walls

I wanna face that fire It won’t burn me though

God’s got my back Shadrach Meshach Abednego

I wanna walk like Moses Right through the waves

One day I’ll see that promise land no longer slaves

Though the fear is talkin’ No it can’t take out my faith

I’m gonna praise I’m gonna praise

I praise the mountain movin’

Body raising breaker of chains

Gonna praise I’m gonna praise

I praise the heaven seated Undefeated highest of names

That’s who I praise hey

That’s who I praise that’s who I praise

I wanna gift like Mary, I wanna break my vase

I wanna sleep like Daniel even in a lion’s cave

I’m gonna get that promise Just like Jericho

Yeah I know what’ll make it fall (Chorus)

I’m gonna praise (I’m gonna praise)

I praise the mountain movin’

Body raising breaker of chains

Gonna praise I’m gonna praise

I praise the heaven seated Undefeated highest of names

That’s who I praise hey

I praise the God who’s proven He can do impossible things

That’s who I praise hey

that’s who I praise that’s who I praise

He is the Lion of Judah He is the Lamb that was slain

The only One who’s worthy worthy

Worthy of all of His names that’s who I praise

He is the risen Messiah He is the Ancient of Days

The only one who’s worthy worthy

Worthy of all of His names that’s who I praise

 

I wanna love like Jesus that kinda grace

I wanna live like

I’ve got no more precious time to waste

I’m gonna give him glory With all my thanks

‘Cause there’s no greater stronger higher name

And that’s who I praise

 

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

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

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