Refrain: So with one voice we ll sing to the Lord And with one heart we ll live out His word, Till the whole earth sees The Redeemer has come For He dwells in the presence of His people. On this journey we share To rejoice with the happy And weep with those who mourn, For the weak find strength, The afflicted find grace, When we offer the blessing of belonging. Refrain To embrace His command To prefer one another, Forgive as He forgives. When we live as one We all share in the love Of the Son with the Father And the Spirit.

God s Word To Us Ministry through Music: Let All the World in Every Corner Sing The Sanctuary Chorus; Scott Dean, director Ralph Vaughan Williams; arr. Craig Courtney Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10 (9) Mike Standard; (11) Tom Brewer 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Sing Praise to Him Sermon: Justified arr. Mack Wilberg Rev. Daniel Triller
Our Response * In Christ Alone Keith Getty and Stuart Townend In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song. This Cornerstone, this solid ground, Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, When fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My Comforter, my all in all, Here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone, who took on flesh, Fullness of God in helpless Babe. This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save. Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied; For ev ry sin on Him was laid. Here in the death of Christ I live. There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain. Then bursting forth in glorious day, Up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory, Sin s curse has lost its grip on me. For I am His and He is mine, Bought with the precious blood of Christ. No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the pow r of Christ in me. From life s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny. No pow r of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand. Til He returns or calls me home, Here in the pow r of Christ I ll stand. No pow r of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from his hand. Til He returns or calls me home, Here in the pow r of Christ I ll stand. Here in the pow r of Christ I ll stand. ccli #3350395 Giving Our Tithes and Offerings Musical Offering: I Love to Tell the Story * Benediction Postlude: Suite for Organ: III. Toccata arr.
