I Sing The Almighty Power Of God Words by Isaac Watt, 1715, arr by Ralph V Williams, 1906 Traditional English Melody I sing th' almighty pow'r of God that made the mountains rise, That spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at His command and all the stars obey. I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with His word, and then pronounced them good. Lord, how Your wonders are displayed where er I turn my eye, If I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky! Page 2 of 6
There's not a plant or flower below but makes Your glories known; And clouds arise, and tempests blow by order from Your throne. While all that borrows life from is ever in Your care, And everywhere that man can be, you, God, are present there. Public Domain. Trinity Hymnal #119. Indescribable Words & music by Chris Tomlin From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea, Creation's revealing Your majesty. From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring, Every creature unique in the song that it sings. All exclaiming... Indescribable, Uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name. You are amazing God. All powerful, Untameable, Awestruck we fall to our knees and we humbly proclaim, You are amazing God. Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go, Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow? Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light, Yet conceals it to give us the coolness of night? None can fathom... Incomparable, Unchangeable, You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same. You are amazing God. (c)2004 worshiptogether.com Songs/sixsteps Music.

SERMON TEXT Proverbs 2:1-15 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, 2 making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; 3 yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, 4 if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, 5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, 8 guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. 9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; 10 for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; 11 discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you, 12 delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech, 13 who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, 14 who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, 15 men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways. Acts 17:11-12 11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. 12 Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men.
