Words on Screen During Service: Call to Worship There is nothing to which we can compare our God! No one has come before You O Lord! Nothing is outside of You; neither before or after exist apart from You! Our daily struggles loom great to us; yet there is no brokenness You cannot mend! Hope is ever in You. We rejoice in Your victory! Peace attends all who look to You, O Lord most high! As we anticipate Your coming, we live in Your goodness even now! Great is our God! Opening Song Stand and Shout Stand and shout, shout and sing, we've been bought and redeemed Jesus, died, Jesus lives, Jesus loves, and He forgives So let your praise rise up and magnify; let your voice be heard and testify Our God Showers down His mercy on the ones He came to save Earth and sky, sky and sea, shout the glory of the King If they praise Him, why don't we sing the song of the redeemed So let our praise rise up and magnify; let our voice be heard and testify I'm gonna stand and praise my God. To live and love in freedom here and now, Stand and shout! I'm gonna stand and praise my God. My God has done mighty things for me I'm gonna stand and praise my God. Stand and shout!
Congregational Hymn Here I Am, Lord I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard My people cry. All who dwell in deepest sin, My hand will save. I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear My light to them? Chorus Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart. I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have born my peoples pain. I have wept for love of them, They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone. I will speak My word to them, I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them, My hand will save Finest bread I will provide, Till their hearts be satisfied. I will give My life to them, Doxology Give Thanks Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One, Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son. And now let the weak say, "I am strong!" Let the poor say, "I am rich because of what the Lord has done for us!" Give thanks. Give thanks.
Closing Song Mighty to Save Everyone needs compassion, love that's never failing. let mercy fall on me. Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a Saviour. The Hope of nations. Chorus: Saviour, He can move the mountains My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save Forever, Author of Salvation He rose and conquered the grave. Jesus conquered the grave. So take me as You find me, all my fears and failures. Fill my life again I give my life to follow, everything I believe in. Now I surrender. (Chorus) Shine your light, and let the whole world see. Jesus, Shine your light, and let the whole world see. We're singing for the glory of the risen King (Chorus twice) Shine your light, and let the whole world see. Jesus, Shine your light, and let the whole world, see. Benediction Make Me a Servant Make me a servant, humble and meek, Lord, let me lift up those who are weak, And may the pray'r of my heart always be; Make me a servant, make me a servant, make me a servant today.
