Call to Worship
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
Micah 7:18-19 (ESV)

Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners
Jesus! What a friend for sinners
Jesus, lover of my soul
Friends may fail me, foes assail me
He, my savior, makes me whole
Hallelujah! What a savior!
Hallelujah! What a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving
He is with me to the end
Jesus! What a strength in weakness
Let my hide myself in Him
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing
He my strength, my victory wins
Hallelujah! What a savior!
Hallelujah! What a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving

While the billow o’er me roll
Even when my heart is breaking,
He, my Comfort, helps my soul
Hallelujah! What a savior!
Hallelujah! What a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving
He is with me to the end
Jesus! What a guide and keeper
While the tempest still is high
Storms about me, night o’er takes me
He, my pilot, hears my cry.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving
He is with me to the end
Jesus! I do now receive him
More than all in Him I find
He has granted me forgiveness,
I am His and He is mine
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving
He is with me to the end
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a friend!

Jesus Paid it All
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Worshiping God by Confessing Our Sins
Jesus, forgive my sins. Forgive the sins that I remember, and the sins I have forgotten. Forgive my many failures in the face of temptation, and those times when I have been stubborn in the face of correction. Forgive the times I have been proud of my own achievements and those when I have failed to boast in your works. Forgive the harsh judgments I have made of others, and the leniency I have shown myself. Forgive the lies I have told to others, and the truths I have avoided. Forgive me the pain I have caused others and the indulgence I have shown myself. Jesus, have mercy on me and make me whole. Amen.
Worshiping God by Confessing Our Hope
Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 5:25-27
Worshiping God by Singing
Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to Thy bosom fly
While the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
’til life’s storm is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
receive my soul at last.
Other refuge have I none,
I helpless hang on Thee
Leave, ah, leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
help from Thee I bring
Cover my defenseless head
in the shadow of Thy wing
Thou, O Christ, are all I want,
more than all in Thee I find
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick and lead the blind
Just and holy is Thy Name,
I am all unrighteousness
False and full of sin I am;
Thou art full of truth and grace.
Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within
Thou of life, the fountain art,
let me take of Thee
Spring Thou up within my heart:
to all eternity.

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease.
My Comforter, my All in all,
here in the love of Christ, I stand.
In Christ alone, who took on flesh,
fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on the cross as Jesus died,
the wrath of God was satisfied.
For every sin on Him was laid;
here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world, by darkness slain;
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine,
bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
this is the pow'r of Christ in me.
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man
can ever pluck me from His hand.
'Til He returns or calls me home,
here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
