1 Sunday Morning Worship February 12, 2017 Reflection The greatest sorrow and burden you can lay on the Father, the greatest unkindness...is not to believe that He loves you. John Owen God's fatherly love means absolute safety. He will neither neglect nor abuse. Tim Keller

2 Preparation for Worship Adoring God In Song **In recognition of the reason and reverence of worship, please remember to turn off your cell phones. Thank you. Parents and Nursing Moms: If needed, there is a cry room in the back of the sanctuary that you may use and still be able to hear the service. The room is accessed via the foyer behind the nursery check-in desk. If you need help, please ask the nursery coordinator. Song of ascents Holy, Holy, Holy! Trinity Hymnal #100 Welcoming One Another Announcements Silent Preparation Call To Worship Psalm 57:7-11 Leader: My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! People: I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. Leader: For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. People: Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! The Sands of Time are Sinking The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morn I ve sighed for The fair, sweet morn awakes: Dark, dark had been the midnight But dayspring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel s land. The king there in His beauty, Without a veil is seen: It were a well spent journey, Though sev'n deaths lay between: The Lamb with His fair army, Doth on Mount Zion stand, And glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel s land O Christ, He is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love! The streams on earth I ve tasted More deep I ll drink above: There to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel s land. Oh! I am my Beloved s And my Beloved is mine! He brings a poor vile sinner Into His house of wine I stand upon His merit I know no other stand, Not e en where glory dwelleth in Emmanuel s land. The bride eyes not her garment, But her dear Bridegroom s face; I will not gaze at glory But on my King of grace. Not at the crown He giveth But on His pierced hand; The Lamb is all the glory of Emmanuel s land. The Sands of Time Are Sinking 2001 Philip Palmertree Music Words: Anne Cousin (based on Samuel Rutherford s letters) Music: traditional folk tune (arr. Phillip Palmertree)

3 Confession of sin & Assurance Good Good Father Prayer of Confession I ve heard a thousand stories Of what they think You re like But I ve heard the tender whisper Of love in the dead of night You tell me that You re pleased And that I m never a-lone Chorus: You're a good good Father, it s who You are It's who You are, it's who You are And I'm loved by You, it s who I am It's who I am, it's who I am Assurance of pardoning grace Hebrews 4:14-16 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Good Good Father 2014 Capitol CMG Genesis Words & Music: Patt Barrett and Anthony Brown I've seen many searching For answers far and wide But I know we're all searching For answers only You provide 'Cause You know just what we need Before we say a word (Chorus) You are perfect in all of Your ways You are perfect in all of Your ways You are perfect in all of Your ways to us (Repeat) Love so undeniable I can hardly speak Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think As You call me deeper still, as You call me deeper still As You call me deeper still, into love love love (Chorus three times) Deacon's Prayer Steve Brown The Giving of Our Tithes & Offerings Please sign and pass the registers. Offertory (on next page) Worship Through Giving We invite everyone to fill out the registry pad located on the end of the aisle.

4 Offertory Ministry of word & prayer Help My Unbelief I know the Lord is nigh, And would but cannot pray, For Satan meets me when I try, And frights my soul away, And frights my soul away. I would but can t repent, Though I endeavor oft; This stony heart can ne er relent Till Jesus makes it soft, Till Jesus makes it soft. Chorus: Help my unbelief. Help my unbelief. Help my unbelief. My help must come from Thee. I would but cannot love, Though wooed by love divine; No arguments have pow r to move A soul as base as mine. A soul so base as mine. I would but cannot rest, In God s most holy will; I know what He appoints is best, And murmur at it still. I murmur at it still. (Chorus twice) 1 Samuel 23:1-14 (page 313 in the pew Bible) Prayer for the Kingdom of God on Earth Ivan Spronk Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land. I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy powerful hand. Bread of heaven, Feed me now and evermore; Bread of heaven, Feed me now and evermore. Song of preparation Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing waters flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. If you are able, please stand in honor of God's Word, which is forever true. Children ages 3 to 5 years old are invited to go to Children's Church during the Song of Preparation. Children's Church is an optional activity during the sermon to help young children prepare to sit through the service. There is singing and an explanation of this week's Scripture Passage by an Elder. Help My Unbelief 2006 Red Mountain Music Words: John Newton, Chorus by Clint Wells Music: Clint Wells, 2005 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of deaths, and hell s destruction, Land me safe on Canaan s side. Songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee; Songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee. Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah Music Words: William Williams Music: Jeremy Casella
