All Creatures of Our God and King – Words by Francis of Assisi, (1225); tr. by William H. Draper, (c. 1910) / tune from “Auserlesen Catholische Geistliche Kirchengesäng”, Cologne, (1623)
Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship Him in humbleness,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One!
We viewed a video based on Psalm 93 that gave us a picture of God’s sovereignty over all creation.
I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God’s command, and all the stars obey.
We confessed our sins together by reading this prayer by Mike Cosper from The Open Sourcebook.
With Melting Heart and Weeping Eyes – Words by John Fawcett (1740-1817), contemporary music by Clint Wells
Does not Thy sacred word proclaim,
salvation free in Jesus’ name?
To Him I look and humbly cry,
“Lord, save a wretch condemned to die.”
We heard the assurance of our forgiveness from Colossians 2:13-14.
“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.”
Nothing But the Blood – Words and Music by Robert Lowry
How precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
At the Foot of the Cross by Kathryn Scott
Now I can trade these ashes in for beauty
and wear forgiveness like a crown.
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay ev’ry burden down
at the foot of the cross.
I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, Jesse Reeves and Matt Maher
Jesus has overcome
and the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead.
I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain.
