David lead us in a call to worship from Psalm 136:1, 4-9.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good…
to him who alone does great wonders,
for his steadfast love endures forever,
to him who by understanding made the heavens,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who spread out the earth above the waters…
who made the great lights…
the sun to rule over the day…
the moon and stars to rule over the night,?
for his steadfast love endures forever.
I Sing the Mighty Power of God – Words: Isaac Watts (1715), Music and Additional Chorus: Scott Johnson, Keith Scherer, Andrew Camp
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.
All praise to you, Eternal God,
you made the heavens and earth
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty – Words: Joachim Neander (1680), Music: Lobe Herren (1665), Arrangement and chorus: The Crossing Music
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O My soul, praise Him for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration!
Ashley lead us in a reading of Psalm 117.
Praise the Lord, all you nations;
extol him, all you peoples.
For great is his love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord.
His Loving-Kindness – Words: Samuel Medley (1782), Additional Words: David A. Cover, Music: Christine Cover and David A. Cover
His Loving-Kindness was originally penned by Samuel Medley in 1782 as an expression of thanksgiving to God. Medley wrote many, many hymns and was always careful to say his main purpose in songwriting was to “comfort Christians and glorify Christ.” (Inspiring Hymn Stories for Daily Devotions, p. 333, Kenneth W. Osbeck)
Often I feel my sinful heart
prone from my Savior to depart;
but though I have him oft’ forgot,
His loving kindness changes not!
How precious is your steadfast love,
eternal Lord of all.
In you is life, is true delight;
I choose to rest in love.
He Holds All Things by David A. Cover and Patrick Miller
From kingdom dark to kingdom’s light,
Your blood has made a way.
The death of sin and hope of life,
Your mighty cross proclaims.
From Him, to Him, salvation is sustained.
Through Him, for Him, all things remade.
All Hail the Power of Jesus Name – Words by Edward Perronet (1780), Chorus: Judah Groveman
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.
All I Have is Christ by Jordan Kauflin
But as I ran my hell-bound race, indifferent to the cost,
You looked upon my helpless state and led me to the cross.
And I beheld God’s love displayed, You suffered in my place,
You bore the wrath reserved for me, now all I know is grace.
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ.
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life.
