Call to Worship

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.  Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:14-16 (ESV)

 
Worshiping God by Singing

 

Arise, My Soul, Arise

​

Arise, my soul, arise, 
shake off your guilty fears; 
The bleeding sacrifice, 
in my behalf appears; 
Before the throne my Surety stands, 
Before the throne my Surety stands, 
My name is written on His hands.

 

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise. 
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise 
Arise, my soul, arise. 
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

 

He ever lives above, 
for me to intercede; 
His all redeeming love, 
His precious blood, to plead; 
His blood atoned for every race, 
His blood atoned for every race, 
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.

 

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise. 
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise 
Arise, my soul, arise. 
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

 

Five bleeding wounds He bears;
received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers; 
they strongly plead for me:
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry,
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry,
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die!”

​

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise. 
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise 
Arise, my soul, arise. 
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

 

My God is reconciled;
His pardoning voice I hear; 
He owns me for His child; 
I can no longer fear 
With confidence I now draw nigh, 
With confidence I now draw nigh, 
And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.

 

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise. 
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise 
Arise, my soul, arise. 
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

Worshiping God by Confessing Our Sins

(silent confession)

Worshiping God by Confessing Our Hope

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.  For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.   For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  

Romans 10:9-13 

 
Worshiping God by Singing

 

Behold Our God

 

Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice.

 

Behold our God seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!

​

Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of His Words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things?
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?

 

Behold our God seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!

 

Who has felt the nails upon His hands
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?
God eternal humbled to the grave
Jesus, Savior risen now to reign!

 

Behold our God seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!

 

You will reign forever,  (Let Your glory fill the earth)
You will reign forever,  (Let Your glory fill the earth)

You will reign forever,  (Let Your glory fill the earth)

You will reign forever,  (Let Your glory fill the earth)
 

Behold our God seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!

16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.

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.
