Call to Worship

Psalm 33:1-5 (ESV)

Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings! Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

God, We Sing Your Glorious Praises

God, we sing your glorious praises
as we tell your awesome deeds:
you have fashioned all creation
and you meet each creature's needs.
We rejoice in how your people
tasted your great faithfulness;
graced through every generation,
we your mighty acts profess.

We remember, God, your covenant
which extends from heaven to earth;
how Christ's death and resurrection
conquers sin, renews our birth.
Thank you for this gospel message
which inspires your church to preach
grace to every generation
in our deeds and in our speech.

Fueled by power from your Spirit
we commit ourselves anew
to be faithful to your gospel
in the daily work we do.
We will shout your glorious praises,
telling all who have not heard:
grace for every generation
is embodied in your Word.

Lord, we offer you our worship
as we celebrate your grace
which you shower on your people
gathered here and everyplace.
Blessed by water, Word, and table,
we, your church, now pledge to share
grace through every generation
in our witness, work, and prayer.

Worshiping God by Confessing our Faith

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (ESV)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

All I Have Is Christ

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 God's love displayed, You suffered in my place

You bore the wrath reserved for me, now all I know is grace

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ!

Hallelujah! Jesus is my life!

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone and live so all might see

The strength to follow Your commands could never come from me

O Father, use my ransomed life in any way You choose

And let my song forever be: “My only boast is You!”

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ!

Hallelujah! Jesus is my life!

Baptized into Your Name Most Holy

Baptized into your name most holy,

O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

I claim a place, though weak and lowly,

among your seed, your chosen host;

Buried with Christ, and dead to sin,

Your Spirit e'er shall live within.

My loving Father, me you've taken

fore'er to be your child and heir;

My faithful Savior, me you've given

Your righteous, holy life to share;

O Holy Spirit, you will be

a comfort, Guide, and help to me.

And I have vowed to fear and love you,

and to obey you, Lord, alone;

Because the Holy Spirit moved me

I dared to pledge myself your own,

Renouncing sin to keep the faith,

and war with evil unto death.

My faithful God, your Word fails never,

Your cov'nant surely will abide;

Oh cast me not away for ever,

should I transgress it on my side,

Though I have oft my soul defiled,

in love forgive, restore your child.

Yes, all I am and love most dearly

I offer now, O Lord, to you.

Oh let me make my vows sincerely,

and what I say, help me to do.

Let naught within me, naught I own,

serve any will but yours alone.

And never let my purpose falter,

O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

But keep me faithful to your altar,

till you shall call me from my post;

So unto you I live and die,

and praise you evermore on high.
