We began our service with prayer (adapted from the Worship Sourcebook) asking God open our eyes to see Jesus for who he is.
Open our eyes, Lord, to see Your glory.
Open our ears, to hear Your wisdom.
Open our mouths, to sing Your praise.
Open our hearts, to receive Your love.
Here I Am to Worship by Tim Hughes
Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness,
opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You,
hope of a life spent with You.
Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that You’re my God.
The Christ, Our Light by Martin Reardon
When all was dark and without dawn
You gave us Light, you sent your Son.
The Christ, the Christ, He shines, He shines
to take our sins away, away.
We confessed our sins by praying Psalm 130 together.
Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD!
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.
Since I Am So Sick by Don Chafer
Unto You, oh Lord, I lift up my soul.
In Your loving-kindness I believe.
Surely those who wait on You
will never be ashamed.
All of those who call on You
will know the faithfulness of Your name.
The Gospel Song by Drew Jones and Bob Kauflin
Holy God, in love, became
perfect Man to bear my blame.
On the cross He took my sin.
By His death I live again.
The apostle Paul’s assurance from 2 Corinthians 5:21 (adapted) was a reminder of our forgiveness and hope because of Jesus Christ’s once for all sacrifice on the cross.
For our sake God made Jesus Christ to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Christ we might become the righteousness of God.
Jesus Messiah by Chris Tomlin, Daniel Carson, Jesse Reeves and Ed Cash
He became sin, who knew no sin;
that we might become His righteousness;
He humbled Himself, and carried the cross.
Love so amazing, love so amazing.
Jesus, Messiah, Name above all names,
Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel.
The Rescue for sinners. The Ransom from heaven.
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all.
Holy (Jesus, You Are) by Jason Ingram, Matt Redman, Jonas Myrin
Your name alone has power to raise us.
Your light will shine when else fades.
Our eyes will look on Your glorious face,
shining like the sun? Who is like you God?
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy.
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus, You are. Jesus, You are.
