1 Flee From Sin/Run to Jesus Words and Music by Sol Fenne, 20schemes Music CCLI # There is grace for the daily war with sin For the battles that rage within my heart I am held in my Father s everlasting arms He s my shield from the devil s fiery darts. There s a refuge from every lustful thought From old habits enticing me away When I fear my addictions won t be overcome There is hope through Christ s resurrection day There is power in the finished work of Jesus To change helpless sinners just like me There s contentment when nothing else can satisfy So I ll flee from my sin to Christ the Lord Put my faith in the promise of His word God has called all His children to obey, Live a life of submission to His word May I learn what it means to seek His Kingdom first, Die to self, Give my all to serve the Lord. There s forgiveness for every time I fail As I turn in repentance from my sin God provides all the help I need to persevere Praise His name! That my life is found in Him! Call to Worship (Psalm 59:16-17) Leader: But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love. A Mighty Fortress is Our God Text: Martin Luther; based on Psalm 46 Music: Martin Luther A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe-- His craft and pow'r are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing, Were not the right man on our side, The man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He Lord Sabaoth His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim,

2 We tremble not for him His rage we can endure, For lo, his doom is sure: One little word shall fell him. That word above all earthly pow'rs, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Thru Him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also The body they may kill; God's truth abideth still: His kingdom is forever. Confession of Sin (Luke 18:13, Mark 9:24, Psalm 51:1-2) God, be merciful to me, a sinner! I believe; help my unbelief! Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! Amen. Psalm 130 (From the Depths of Woe) Words: Martin Luther. Music: Christopher Miner 1997 Christopher Miner Music. Arr.: Jonathan Noël, 2007 CCLI # From the depths of woe I raise to Thee A voice of lamentation Lord turn a gracious ear to me And hear my supplication If Thou iniquity dost mark Our secret sins and misdeeds dark O who shall stand before Thee? (Who shall stand before Thee?) O who shall stand before Thee? (Who shall stand before Thee?) To wash away the crimson stain Grace, grace alone availeth Our works alas are all in vain, In much the best life faileth No man can glory in Thy sight, All must alike confess Thy might And live alone by mercy (Live alone by mercy) And live alone by mercy (Live alone by mercy). Therefore my trust is in the Lord And not in mine own merit On Him my soul shall rest, His Word upholds my fainting spirit His promised mercy is my fort, My comfort and my sweet support I wait for it with patience (Wait for it with patience) I wait for it with patience (Wait for it with patience). What though I wait the live-long night And till the dawn appeareth My heart still trusteth in His might, It doubteth not nor feareth Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, Ye of the Spirit born indeed And wait till God appeareth (Wait till God appeareth) And wait till God appeareth (Wait till God appeareth). Though great our sins And sore our woes His grace much more aboundeth His helping love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth Our Shepherd good and true is He, Who will at last His Israel free

3 From all their sin and sorrow (All their sin and sorrow) From all their sin and sorrow (All their sin and sorrow) From all our sins and sorrows (All our sins.. ) Assurance of Pardon (Romans 5:1-2) Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Affirmation of Faith (Heidelberg Catechism, Question 60) Leader: How are you righteous before God? Congregation: Only by true faith in Jesus Christ. Although my conscience accuses me that I have grievously sinned against all God s commandments, have never kept any of them, and am still inclined to all evil, yet God, without any merit of my own, out of mere grace, imputes to me the perfect satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ. He grants these to me as if I had never had nor committed any sin, and as if I myself had accomplished all the obedience which Christ has rendered for me, if only I accept this gift with a believing heart. Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder Text: John Newton, Music: Laura Taylor CCLI# Let us love and sing and wonder, Let us praise the Savior s name! He has hushed the law s loud thunder, He has quenched Mount Sinai s flame: He has brought us nigh to God. Let us love the Lord who bought us, Pitied us when enemies, Called us by His grace, and taught us, Gave us ears and gave us eyes: He presents our souls to God. Let us sing, though fierce temptation Threatens hard to bear us down! For the Lord, our strong salvation, Holds in view the conqu ror s crown: Soon will bring us home to God. Let us wonder; grace and justice Join and point to mercy s store; When through grace in Christ our trust is, Justice smiles and asks no more: Has secured our way to God.

4 Let us praise, and join the chorus Of the saints enthroned on high: Here they trusted Him before us, Now their praises fill the sky: You have washed us with Your blood; You have washed us with Your blood; You have washed us with Your blood; You are worthy, Lamb of God! O Love That Will Not Let Me Go Words: George Matheson, 1882.Music: Christopher Miner 1997 Miner, Christopher. CCLI # O Love that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe, That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. O Light that follow st all my way, I yield my flick ring torch to Thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in Thy sunshine s blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to Thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain, That morn shall tearless be. O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from Thee; I lay in dust life s glory dead, And from the ground There blossoms red Life that shall endless be. O Love that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe, That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. O Church, Arise Words and Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend Thankyou Music. CCLI # O Church, arise, and put your armor on; Hear the call of Christ our Captain. For now the weak Can say that they are strong In the strength that God has given. With shield of faith and belt of truth, We ll stand against the devil s lies; An army bold, whose battle cry is love, Reaching out to those in darkness. Our call to war, to love the captive soul, But to rage against the captor; And with the sword That makes the wounded whole, We will fight with faith and valor. When faced with trials on ev ry side, We know the outcome is secure, And Christ will have The prize for which He died- An inheritance of nations. Come see the cross, Where love and mercy meet, As the Son of God is stricken; Then see His foes Lie crushed beneath His feet, For the Conqueror has risen! And as the stone is rolled away And Christ emerges from the grave, This victory march continues till the day Ev ry eye and heart shall see Him. So Spirit come, put strength in ev ry stride, give grace for ev ry hurdle, That we may run

5 With faith to win the prize Of a servant good and faithful. As saints of old still line the way, Retelling triumphs of His grace, We hear their calls And hunger for the day. When with Christ we stand in Glory. Colossians 3: And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. 20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. 22 Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. It Is Finished Words attributed to Jonathan Evens; Music: Jeff Koonce, Red Mountain Music. CCLI # Hark, the voice of love and mercy, Sounds aloud from Calvary! See, it rends the rocks asunder, Shakes the earth and veils the sky! Hear the dying Savior cry. Hear the dying Savior cry. It is finished, O what pleasure, Do these charming words afford. Heavenly blessings, without measure, Flow to us from Christ the Lord. Saints the dying words record. Saints the dying words record. Finished all the types and shadows, Of the ceremonial law; Finished all that God had promised; Death and hell no more shall awe. Saints from hence your comfort draw. Saints from hence your comfort draw. Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs; Join to sing the pleasing theme; Saints on earth and all in heaven, Join to praise Immanuel s name. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding lamb! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding lamb!
