bring glory to Your name? For you
alone are holy. All nations will come
and worship You!

Lord, with our whole heart; we will tell
of all Your wonderful deeds. We will be
glad and exult in You. We will sing
praise to Your name, O Most High.

Renews Us In
Christ
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.

We are a moment, You are forever

Lord of all ages, God before time
We are a vapour, You are eternal
Love everlasting reigning on high
chorus
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Highest praises, honour and glory
Be unto Your name
Be unto Your name

(repeat chorus)
bridge
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory forever
(repeat)

Your will be done, on earth as it is in

Give us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our debts as we also have
forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the
glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

The Words Of The Gospel

~ Psalm 103:8, 12 ~

Song Of Preparation

Song Of Response

To the valley, for my soul

Thy great descent has made me whole
Your word my heart
Has welcomed home
Now peace like water ever flows

We are the broken, You are the healer

Jesus Redeemer, mighty to save
You are the love song well sing forever
Bowing before You blessing Your name

Presentation Of Our Tithes

& Offerings

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.

chorus
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power and in grace
The name above all other names

Praise the Father, Praise the Son

O sovreign God, O matchless King
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne of grace
To You belongs the highest praise
These sufferings, this passing tide
Under Your wings I will abide
And every enemy shall flee
You are my hope and victory

The Anchor Of Hope For An
Agitated Soul
Psalm 131
Pastor Mike Ivancic

God Feeds Us His

Covenant Meal
Songs For Communion
Just As I Am (I Come Broken)
Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee Whose blood
Can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

chorus
I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God, Just as I am
Just as I am, I would be lost
But mercy and grace my freedom bought
And now to glory in Your cross
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
(repeat chorus)
In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest
Drought and storm
What heights of love
What depths of peace
When fears are stilled
When strivings cease
My comforter, my All in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sins curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From lifes first cry, to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ Ill stand
It Is Well With My Soul
When peace, like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul
chorus
It is well (echo)
With my soul (echo)
It is well, it is well with my soul
Though Satan should buffet
Though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ has regarded
My helpless estate
And has shed His own blood
For my soul

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.

Our Confession Of Faith

~ Philippians 2:5-11 ~
Leader: Let us confess our faith
together
Unison: We believe in our hearts and
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,

May 3, 2015

When the faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend
Even soit is well with my soul
