WORSHIP IN SONG
SCRIPTURE READING Philippians 2:5-11 Christian Standard Bible (CSB) Christ s Humility and Exaltation 5 Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus, 6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited. 7 Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, 8 he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death even to death on a cross. 9 For this reason God highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth 11 and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
WORSHIP IN SONG Man of Sorrows Matt Crocker & Brooke Ligertwood Verse 1 Man of sorrows, Lamb of God by His own betrayed The sin of men and wrath of God has been on Jesus laid Verse 2 Silent as He stood accused beaten, mocked, and scorned Bowing to the Father's will He took a crown of thorns Chorus And oh that rugged cross, my salvation Where Your love poured out over me Now my soul cries out "Hallelujah!" Praise and honour unto Thee Verse 3 Sent of heaven, God s own Son to purchase and redeem And reconcile the very ones who nailed Him to that tree {Chorus} Bridge x2 Now my debt is paid it is paid in full By the precious blood that my Jesus spilled Now the curse of sin has no hold on me Whom the Son sets free oh is free indeed {Chorus} Verse 4 See the stone is rolled away behold the empty tomb Hallelujah God be praised He s risen from the grave {Chorus}
OFFERTORY Blessed Be Your Name Beth Redman & Matt Redman Verse 1 Blessed Be Your Name In the land that is plentiful Where Your streams of abundance flow Verse 2 Blessed Be Your name When I'm found in the desert place Though I walk through the wilderness Blessed Be Your name Every blessing You pour out, I'll Turn back to praise When the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say Chorus Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your glorious name Verse 3 When the sun's shining down on me When the world's 'all as it should be' -over-
Verse 4 On the road marked with suffering Though there's pain in the offering Every blessing You pour out I'll Turn back to praise When the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say Chorus Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your glorious name Bridge x2 You give and take away You give and take away My heart will choose to say Lord, blessed be Your name Every blessing You pour out, I'll Turn back to praise When the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say {Chorus} x2
