Give thanks to the Lord

From the rising to the setting sun

More Than Conquerors

!
When my hope and strength is gone
You're the One who calls me on
You are the life, You are the fight
That's in my soul

Oh, Your resurrection pow'r

Burns like fire in my heart
When waters rise, I lift my eyes
Up to Your throne

chorus
We are more than conquerors
Through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in Your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God, our Conqueror

!
I will sing into the night

Christ is risen and on high

Greater is He living in me
Than in the world

!
No surrender, no retreat

Our God and King

His love endures forever
For He is good, He is above all things
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise

We are free and we're redeemed

We will declare over despair
You are the hope

With a mighty hand

And outstretched arm
His love endures forever
For the life that's been reborn
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise

Nothing is impossible
Ev'ry chain is breakable
With You we are victorious
You are stronger than our hearts
You are greater than the dark
With You we are victorious

chorus
Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever and ever, forever (2X)

Come Praise and Glorify

Come praise and glorify our God

The Father of our Lord
In Christ He has in heavenly realms
His blessings on us poured

For pure and blameless in His sight

He destined us to be
And now weve been adopted through
His Son eternally

O who shall stand before Thee?

(Who shall stand before Thee?)
O who shall stand before Thee?
(Who shall stand before Thee?)

chorus
To the praise of Your glory
To the praise of Your mercy and grace
To the praise of Your glory
You are the God who saves

To wash away the crimson stain

Grace, grace alone availeth
Our works, alas! Are all in vain
In much the best life faileth
No man can glory in Thy sight
All must alike confess Thy might
And live alone by mercy
(Live alone by mercy)
And live alone by mercy
(Live alone by mercy)

!
!

Come praise and glorify our God

Who gives His grace in Christ
In Him our sins are washed away
Redeemed through sacrifice
In Him God has made known to us
The mystry of His will
That Christ should be the head of all
His purpose to fulfill

!
!
Come praise and glorify our God
(repeat chorus)

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
To God, the Three in One

!
(repeat chorus)

God Graciously
Renews Us In
Christ
Call To Repentance &
Renewal

~ Psalm 130:4-5 ~

!If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand? But with You

there is forgiveness, that you may be
feared.

!
Song Of Confession
!
Psalm 130 (From Depths of Woe)
!
From depths of woe I raise to Thee
The voice of lamentation
Lord, turn a gracious ear to me
And hear my supplication
If Thou iniquities dost mark
Our secret sins and misdeeds dark

From all their sin and sorrow

(All their sin and sorrow)
From all their sin and sorrow
(All their sin and sorrow)

God Receives
Our Offerings

!To all who humbly seek the mercy of

God, I say to you, that in Christ Jesus

your sins are forgiven!

Song Of Response

!
Therefore my trust is in the Lord

And not in mine own merit

On Him my soul shall rest, His word
Upholds my fainting spirit
His promised mercy is my fort
My comfort and my sweet support
I wait for it with patience
(Wait for it with patience)
I wait for it with patience
(Wait for it with patience)

What though I wait the live-long night

And til the dawn appeareth
My heart still trusteth in His might
It doubteth not nor feareth
Do thus, O ye of Israels seed
Ye of the Spirit born indeed
And wait til God appeareth
(Wait til God appeareth)
And wait til God appeareth
(Wait til God appeareth)

Though great our sins and sore our woes

His grace much more aboundeth
His helping love no limit knows
Our upmost need it soundeth
Our Shepherd good and true is He
Who will at last His Israel free

The Words Of The Gospel

!
Leader: Let us pray.
~ based on Romans 5:8; 8:1;
!Unison: Our Father in Heaven, hallow& Acts 10:43 ~
ed be your name. Your Kingdom come,
!
Your will be done, on earth as it is in
Leader: God demonstrates His own love
heaven.
for us in this: while we were still sinners,
!Give us this day our daily bread, and
Christ died for us. There is, therefore,
now no condemnation for those who are
in Christ Jesus because, as all the
prophets testify about Christ, everyone
who believes in Him receives the
forgiveness of sins through His name.

Todays Scripture Lesson:

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.

Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

(repeat chorus)

God Gives Us
His Words
Of Eternal Life

(repeat chorus)

Oh God, how I need You

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

I once was lost in darkest night

Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still

But as I ran my hell-bound race

Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld Gods love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace

!
chorus

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ

Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

The Benediction

!
!
Leader: The grace of the Lord Jesus

Christ and the love of God and the

fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you
all.

!Unison: Amen!

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone

And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose.
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You

!

Our Confession Of Faith

~ based on 1 Corinthians 15:1-6;
(repeat chorus)

Matthew 16:16; Revelation 22:13;

& John 20:28 ~

Leader: Let us together profess our faith

by saying

!Unison: This is the Good News which

we have received, in which we stand,
and by which we are saved, if we hold
fast:

!that Christ Jesus died for our sins

according the the Scriptures, that he was

buried, that he was raised on the third
day, and that he appeared to Peter, then
to the Twelve, and then he appeared to
over five hundred witnesses at one time.

!We believe that Jesus is the Christ,

the Son of the living God. He is the first
and the last, the beginning and the end;
He is our Lord and our God. Amen.
