Come praise and glorify our God

For weve believed the Word

And through our faith we have a seal
The Spirit of the Lord
The Spirit guarantees our hope
Until redemptions done
Until we join in endless praise

Call To Repentance &

Renewal

!
~ Isaiah 55:6-7 ~

!Leader: The prophet Isaiah declared,

!Seek the Lord while he may be found;

call on Him while He is near. Let the

wicked forsake His way and the evil man
his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord,
and He will have mercy on him, and to
our God, for He will freely pardon.

Prayer Of Confession
!
Leader: Most holy and gracious Father,

we acknowledge and confess before You

that our sinful natures are prone to evil
and slow to do good. You alone know
how often we have sinned in wandering
from your ways, in wasting your gifts,
and in forgetting Your love. We are
ashamed and sorry of all the ways in
which we have displeased You.

~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~

Unison: Merciful Lord, teach us to hate

our errors. Cleanse us from our wandering ways, and forgive our sins through
Jesus Christ our Saviour. Grant us Your
power that we might live in Your light
and walk in Your ways, according to the
commandments of Jesus Christ our Lord,
we pray. Amen.

The Words Of The Gospel

~ Psalm 103:8, 12 ~
!

Leader: I declare this sure promise: The

Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow
to anger, abounding in love For as high
as the heaves are above the earth, so great
is His love for those who fear Him; as far
as the east is from the west, so far has He
removed our transgressions from us.

Song Of Preparation

How Firm A Foundation

How firm a foundation
Ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith
In His excellent word
What more can He say
Than to you He hath said
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled

Fear not, I am with thee

Oh, be not dismayed
For I am thy God
And will still give thee aid
Ill strengthen thee, help thee
And cause thee to stand
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand

When through the deep waters

I call thee to go
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow
For I will be with thee
Thy trouble to bless
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress

God Receives
Our Offerings

The soul that on Jesus

Doth lean for repose
I will not, I will not
Desert to his foes
That soul, though all hell
Should endeavor to shake
Ill never, no never, no never forsake

Majesty, majesty
Forever I am changed by Your love
In the presence of Your majesty, majesty

When through fiery trials

Thy pathway shall lie

And thy gold to refine

Your grace has found me just as I am

Empty handed but alive in Your hands

Our Confession Of Faith
!
~ Philippians 2:5-11 ~
!
Leader: Let us confess our faith
together
!Unison: We believe in our hearts and
(repeat chorus)

confess with our lips that Christ Jesus,

being in very nature God did not
consider equality with God something
to be grasped but made Himself
nothing, taking the very nature of a
servant, being made in human likeness.

!And being found in appearance as a

man, He humbled Himself and became

obedient to deatheven death on a
cross!

!Therefore

God exalted Him to the

highest place and gave Him the name
that is above every name, that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the
earth, and every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father. Amen.
