Songs and Scenes is a weekly blog review of songs, readings and prayers featured in The Crossing’s Sunday services. Scott Myers provided photos to give a glimpse into Sunday morning life at The Crossing. You’ll also find links in the song titles that will allow you to purchase recorded versions of the songs where available.
This morning’s call to worship was from Psalm 100.
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name – Words by Edward Perronet (1780), Music: Coronation, Oliver Holden (1783), Chorus by Judah Groveman (based on a arrangement by Jaron and Katherine Kamon)
All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing – Words by Robert Robinson (1758), Music: NETTLETON, Wyeth’s Repository of Sacred Music, Part Second by John Wyeth (1813), Based on an arrangement by Page CXVI
Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing,
tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the Mount, I’m fixed upon it;
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Andrew Camp, this morning’s worship leader, shared a quote from Harold M. Best’s terrific book, “Unceasing Worship.”
“We are not created to worship, but rather we are created worshipping. Everyone worships all the time. Atheists, agnostics, Christians, and everyone in between are unceasing worshipers. While the object and method of worship vary, the act of worship does not.”
Andrew then invited us to give our worship to the one, true Living God by reading this invitation from Hebrews 13:15.
“Then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.”
Gloria by King’s Kaliedoscope
O taste and see that the Lord is good;
all you people, all you saints
all you children of the king.
Gloria!, Gloria!, Gloria!, Gloria!
We enjoyed the sacrament of communion and sang the following songs:
Jesus Paid it All – Words: Elvina M. Hall (1865), Music: John T. Grape, Arrangement: Kings Kaleidoscope
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.
Revelation Song by Jennie Lee Riddle
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
at the mention of Your Name.
Jesus, Your Name is Power,
breath, and Living Water
such a marvelous mystery.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come.
With all creation I sing,
“Praise to the King of kings!”
You are my everything
and I will adore you.
