You have called us out of darkest night, Into Your glorious light That we may sing the wonders of The risen Christ May our every breath retell the grace that broke into our strife, With boundless love and deepest joy; With endless life May the peoples praise You Let the nations be glad All Your blessing comes That we may praise May praise the Name of Jesus All the earth is Yours and all within, Each harvest is Your own And from Your hand we give to You to make Christ known May the seeds of mercy grow in us, for those who have not heard May songs of praise build lives of grace to spread Your Word This our holy priv'lege to declare your praises and Your name To every nation tribe and tongue your church proclaims Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty; Worthy, worthy is the Lamb who was slain Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty; All creation praise Your glorious Name Call to Worship - Psalm 67 Leader: May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.

UNISON: God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him! Prayer of Invocation
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing Words: Robert Robinson, 1758. Music: John Wyeth, 1813. Come thou fount of every 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 God's unchanging love. Here I raise my Ebenezer; Hither by thy help I'm come. And I hope, by thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God: He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed his precious blood. O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be; Let that grace now, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love. Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for thy courts above. On that day when freed from sinning I shall see Thy lovely face; Clothed then in blood washed linen, How I ll sing Thy sovereign grace. Come, my Lord, no longer tarry, Take my ransomed soul away; Send thine angels soon to carry Me to realms of endless day.
By Thy Mercy Words: James J. Cummins, 1839. Music: Greg Thompson, 2004. Jesus, Lord of life and glory, Bend from heaven thy gracious ear; While our waiting souls adore thee, Friend of helpless sinners, hear: From the depth of nature's blindness, From the hardening power of sin, From all malice and unkindness, From the pride that lurks within. By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord, good Lord. When temptation sorely presses, In the day of Satan's power, In our times of deep distresses, In each dark and trying hour. When the world around is smiling, In the time of wealth and ease, Earthly joys our hearts beguiling, In the day of health and peace. In the weary hours of sickness, In the times of grief and pain, When we feel our mortal weakness, When all human help is vain, In the solemn hour of dying, In the awful judgment day, May our souls, on thee re-lying, Find thee still our Rock and Stay. Comfort - 1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
We Will Say In That Day Words & Music: Wendell Kimbrough, 2016. You will see there a highway from God s own hand That will lead back the lost to the Promised Land. And the voice of the Savior will call us friends, Saying, Join in the song of the Lord! We will call back our armies: Return from war! And we ll make into plowshares our useless swords. Very soon to forget what they once were for, When we join in the song of the Lord! We will say in that day, To the Lord, give thanks! We will not be afraid, for He comes to save. We will shout; we will call: Every tribe and race: Come and join in the song of the Lord! You will see there a banquet for sinners spread Where we ll sit with the Lord at the table s head. And our Shepherd himself is our wine and bread, And we ll join in the song of the Lord! When the remnant return to the promised land When the highway of God brings us home to Him. We ll be welcomed with love by our Savior friend, And we ll join in the song of the Lord! This Is My Father s World Words: Maltbie D. Babcock, 1901. Music: Franklin L. Sheppard, 1915. This is my Father s world, and to my listening ears All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres. This is my Father s world: I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; His hand the wonders wrought. This is my Father s world, the birds their carols raise, The morning light, the lily white, declare their maker s praise. This is my Father s world: he shines in all that s fair; In the rustling grass I hear him pass; He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father s world. O let me ne er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is my Father s world: the battle is not done: Jesus who died shall be satisfied, And earth and heav n be one. This is my Father s world: the battle is not done: Jesus who died shall be satisfied, And earth and heav n be one.

Tithes & Offerings: May the Mind of Christ The offering is a time to not only give of your possessions but also to give yourself to God. Use this time to reflect, meditate and respond to what God is doing in your life. Teaching Text - Leviticus 25:1-7 1 The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, 2 Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD. 3 For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits, 4 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. 5 You shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. 6 The Sabbath of the land shall provide food for you, for yourself and for your male and female slaves and for your hired worker and the sojourner who lives with you, 7 and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: all its yield shall be for food. Sermon - The Nations and Our Backyard Robby Holt
For the Cause Words and Music by: Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, & Stuart Townend, 2016. For the cause of Christ the King, we give our lives, an offering Till the earth resounds with ceaseless praise to the Son. For the cause of Christ we go with joy to reap and faith to sow As many see and many put their trust in the Son : Christ we proclaim: The name above every name. For all creation, every nation, God s salvation through the Son. For the King once lifted high, to cries of rage and crucify, Endured the cross as every sin was laid on the Son. To the king who conquered death to free the poor and the oppressed, For lasting peace, for life and liberty in the Son. Let it be my life s refrain: to live is Christ, to die is gain; Deny myself, take up my cross and follow the Son. Let it be my life s refrain: to live is Christ to die is gain; Deny myself, take up my cross and follow the Son.
