PRAYER OF ADORATION

TH 355 “We Are God’s People” 

We are God's people the chosen of the  Lord 

Born of His Spirit established by His Word Our cornerstone is Christ alone 

And strong in Him we stand 

O let us live transparently 

And walk heart to heart and hand in hand 

We are God’s loved one, the Bride of Christ  our Lord, 

For we have known it, the love of God  outpoured; 

Now let us learn how to return 

The gift of love once giv’n: 

Let us share each joy and care, 

And live with a zeal that please heav’n. 

We are the body of which the Lord is  Head, 

Called to obey him, now risen from the  dead 

He will us be a family, diverse yet truly one:

O let us give our gifts to God, 

And so shall his work on earth be done. 

We are a temple the Spirit's dwelling place

Formed in great weakness a cup to hold  God's grace 

We die alone for on its own 

Each ember loses fire 

Yet joined in one the flame burns on

To give warmth and light and to inspire

PRAYER OF CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF PARDON Romans 3:23-24

TH 688 “Have Thine Own Way, Lord!” 

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own  way! 

Thou art the potter; I am the clay. 

Mold me and make me after thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still. 

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own  way! 

Search me and try me, Master, today! Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just  now, 

as in thy presence humbly I bow. 

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own  way! 

Wounded and weary, help me, I pray! Power, all power, surely is thine! 

Touch me and heal me, Savior divine! 

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own  way! 

Hold o'er my being absolute sway!

Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see Christ only, always, living in me! 

PRAYER Elder D. Abbott Psalm 146:1-10 “Praise the Lord” 

Praise the LORD, let all within me Offer to the LORD His praise. 

I will praise the LORD forever, 

Praise my God through all my days.

Put no trust in earthly princes – 

Mortal men who cannot save. 

When he dies his thoughts will perish

Buried with him in the grave. 

He who has the God of Jacob 

As his help is truly blessed. 

On the LORD his God forever 

Will his hope securely rest. 

God has made the earth and heaven,

And He also made the sea; 

He made everything within them;

He is faithful constantly. 

He will always render justice 

For the sake of those oppressed. He gives food to those who hunger,

Satisfies their emptiness. 

Captive ones the LORD releases, 

To the blind the LORD gives sight;

Those brought low the LORD will lift up,

He relieves them from their plight. 

How the LORD loves all the righteous! He protects the stranger’s stay, 

Helps the fatherless and widow, 

But subverts the wicked’s way. 

Yes, the LORD will reign forever; 

Zion’s God forevermore, 

Throughout every generation; 

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD.

GOD’S WORD PREACHED 

“Paul Preaches Jesus” by Pastor Joel E.  Wood 

PRAYER OF APPLICATION & THE LORD’S  PRAYER 

All: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 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 yours is the kingdom and the power  and the glory, forever. Amen. 

TH 255 “O Jesus, We Adore Thee” 

O Jesus, we adore thee, 

upon the cross, our King! 

We bow our hearts before thee, 

thy gracious name we sing. 

That name hath brought salvation, that name in life our stay, 

our peace, our consolation, 

when life shall fade away. 

Yet doth the world disdain thee, still passing by the cross; 

Lord, may our hearts retain thee; all else we count but loss. 

Ah, Lord, our sins arraigned thee, and nailed thee to the tree: 

our pride, our Lord, disdained thee; yet deign our hope to be.

O glorious King, we bless thee, 

no longer pass thee by; 

O Jesus, we confess thee 

the Son enthroned on high. 

Lord, grant to us remission; 

life through thy death restore; 

yea, grant us the fruition 

of life forevermore.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Song “Come, People of the Risen King” 

Come people of the Risen King Who delight to bring Him praise Come all and tune your hearts to sing To the Morning Star of grace 

From the shifting shadows of the earth We will lift our eyes to Him 

Where steady arms of mercy reach To gather children in 

Chorus: 

Rejoice rejoice let ev'ry tongue rejoice One heart one voice 

O Church of Christ rejoice 

Come those whose joy is morning sun And those weeping through the night Come those who tell of battles won And those struggling in the fight For His perfect love will never change And His mercies never cease 

But follow us through all our days With the certain hope of peace Come young and old from ev'ry land [chorus]

Men and women of the faith 

Come those with full or empty hands Find the riches of His grace 

Over all the world His people sing Shore to shore we hear them call

The truth that cries through ev'ry age Our God is all in all [Chorus]
