Call to Worship and Welcome

Leader: In you, O Lord, do we take refuge; let us never be put to shame!

All: In your righteousness deliver us and rescue us; incline your ear to us, and save us!

Leader: Be to us a rock of refuge, to which we may continually come; you have given the command to save us,

All: for you are our rock and our fortress.

Leader: Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you?

All: Our lips will shout for joy, when we sing praises to you; our souls also, which you have redeemed.

Leader: Our tongues will talk of your righteous help all the day long

All: Of your faithfulness, we will praise and sing.

Adapted from Psalm 71

Oh Our Lord
by Paul Baloche, David Leonard, and Leslie Jordan

Chorus 1
Oh our Lord
Oh our Lord
How majestic is Your Name in all the earth

We behold the breaking dawn
The light that shines over ev'ryone
We look to You we long for You oh Lord

We behold the rising sun
The earth awakes Your hope has come
We look to You we long for You oh Lord

We behold the falling rain
Like waters rise flood this place
We reach for You we cling to You oh Lord

Oh Your Name is a light in the darkness
Oh Your Name is the word of truth
Oh Your Name oh Your Name

10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)
by Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman

Chorus
Bless the Lord O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Worship Your holy name
Lord I'll worship Your holy name

Prayer and Dismissal of the Children to Sunday School

Song of Praise

King Of Love
by Adam Palmer, Matthew Hein, Stephanie Kulla, Stuart Garrard, and Jonathan Smith

The King of Love my Shepherd is
Whose goodness faileth never
I nothing lack if I am His
And He is mine forever
And He is mine forever

Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth

Chorus
Never failing Ruler of my heart
Everlasting Lover of my soul
On the mountain high or in the valley low
The King of Love my Shepherd is
The King of Love my Shepherd is

Lost and foolish off I strayed
But yet in love He sought me
And on His shoulder gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me

In death's dark veil I fear no ill
With Thee dear Lord beside me
Thy rod and staff my comfort still
Thy cross before to guide me

Oh Hallelujah Hallelujah
Oh Hallelujah Hallelujah
And so through all the length of days

Thy goodness faileth never
Good Shepherd may I sing Your praise
Within Your house forever
Within Your house forever

Closing Song

This Is Amazing Grace
by Josh Farro, Jeremy Riddle, and Phil Wickham

Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory the King above all kings

Chorus
(Yeah) (Oh) This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You laid down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh Jesus I sing for all that You've done for me

Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory the King of Glory

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory the King above all kings

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy worthy worthy
