The Call To Worship

~ based on Psalm 86 & 73 ~

Leader: There is none like You, O Lord,
nor are there any works like Yours.

Unison: All nations You have made
shall come and bow down before You,
O Lord, and glorify Your name.

Leader: For You are great and do
wondrous things. You alone are God!

Unison: Whom have I in heaven but
You? And earth has nothing I desire
besides You. My flesh and my heart
may fail, but God is the strength of my
heart and my portion forever!

Prayer Of Adoration

Songs Of Praise & Worship

How Great You Are

Our God is great
The Father of creation
His splendour fills the earth
The lightning crash
The thunder sings His praises
The galaxies cant help
But shout His worth

chorus
My soul must sing to You an offering
How great You are
My soul must sing
Oh, let the heavens ring
How great You are
Oh, how great You are

The Word made flesh
Gods promise to the fallen
He came with powr to save
The light of life
Was crushed for our rebellion
He died our death
And rose up from the grave
(repeat chorus)

Our King will come
With trumpet blasts resounding
To claim His blood-washed bride
Hell rend the skies
Descending in His glory
And in an instant faith will turn to sight

Agnus Dei (Lamb of God)

Alleluia, Alleluia
For our Lord God Almighty reigns
Alleluia, Alleluia
For our Lord God Almighty reigns
Alleluia

Holy, Holy
Are You Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

You are Holy, Holy
Are You Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
Amen
Call To Repentance &
Renewal

~ based on Isaiah 30 ~

Leader: The Lord God, the Holy One of
Israel, spoke through the prophet Isaiah
saying, In repentance and rest is your
salvation, in quietness and trust is your
strength.

Isaiah pleaded with the people, There-
fore the Lord longs to be gracious to
you; He rises to show mercy to you.
He will surely be gracious to you at the
sound of your cry. As soon as He hears
it, He answers you.
Prayer Of Confession

~ based on Psalm 25 ~

Unison: Remember Your mercy, O Lord,
and Your steadfast love, for they have
been of old. Remember not the sins of
my youth or my transgressions; accord-
ing to Your steadfast love remember me
for the sake of Your goodness.

~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~

Unison: For Your names sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is great. Turn to
me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely
and afflicted. The troubles of my heart
are enlarged; bring me out of my distress.
Consider my affliction and trouble and
forgive all my sins. Amen.

The Words Of The Gospel

~ Isaiah 53; 1 Peter 1 ~

Leader: Isaiah the prophet spoke about
the coming Saviour of the world, Jesus
Christ, when he said, Surely He has
born our griefs and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by
God, and afflicted. But He was wounded
for our transgressions; He was crushed
for our iniquities; upon Him was the
chastisement that brought us peace, and
with His stripes we are healed.

Underst and t hen t hat you were
ransomed not with perishable things such
as silver or gold, but with the precious
blood of Christ. He suffered for sins, the
righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us
to God.

Song Of Response

My Faith Looks Up to Thee

My faith looks up to Thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary
Saviour divine
Now hear me while I pray
Take all my guilt away
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine

May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart
My zeal inspire
As Thou hast died for me
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be
A living fire

While life's dark maze I tread
And griefs around me spread
Be Thou my guide
Bid darkness turn to day
Wipe sorrow's tears away
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside

When ends life's passing dream
When death's cold, threatening stream
Shall o'er me roll
Blest Saviour, then in love
Fear and distrust remove
O lift me safe above
A ransomed soul
The Prayers Of The People
For The Church & City

Leader: Let us pray.

Unison: Our Father in Heaven, hallow-
ed 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 the kingdom, the power, and the
glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

You're the One that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Holiness is Christ in me

When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You

I hear the Saviour say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all

chorus
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone
Can change the lepers spots
And melt the heart of stone

(repeat chorus)

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat

(repeat chorus)

Our Confession Of Faith

~ Heidelberg Catechism #60 ~

Leader: Christian, how are you made
right with God?

Unison: Only by true faith in Jesus
Christ. Even though my conscience
accuses me of having grievously sinned
against all Gods commandments and of
never having kept any of them, and
even though I am still inclined to all
evil, nevertheless, without my deserving
it at all, out of sheer grace God grants to
me the perfect satisfaction, righteous-
ness, and holiness of Christ, as if I had
never sinned nor been a sinner, as if I
had been as perfectly obedient as Christ
was obedient for me. All I need to do is
to accept this gift of God with a
believing heart.
The Benediction

~ Romans 15:13 ~

Leader: May the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in believing, so
that by the power of the Holy Spirit you
may abound in hope.

Unison: Amen!
