People Only by true faith in Jesus Christ. Even though my conscience accuses me of having grievously sinned against all God s commandments and of never having kept any of them, and even though I am still inclined toward all evil, nevertheless, without my deserving it at all, out of sheer grace, God grants and credits to me the perfect satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ, as if I had never sinned nor been a sinner, as if I had been as perfectly obedient as Christ was obedient for me. All I need to do is to accept this gift of God with a believing heart.

RESPONSIVE READING PSALM 139:13-18 Leader For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother s womb. People I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. Leader My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; People Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. Leader How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! People If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.

WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS How Great Thou Art O Lord, my God, When I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Chorus Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee; How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee; How great Thou art! How great Thou art! And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! When I Survey the Wondrous Cross When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did ever such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine; that were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine; demands my soul, my life, my all! O, How He Loves You and Me O how He loves you and me! O how He loves you and me! He gave His life, what more could He give? O how He loves you; O, how He loves me; O how He loves you and me! 6
WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS The Wonderful Cross When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. Chorus Oh, the wonderful cross, oh, the wonderful cross Bids me come and die, and find that I may truly live. Oh, the wonderful cross, oh, the wonderful cross; All who gather here by grace draw near, and bless Your name. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did ever such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature min,; that were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all! Jesus, I Am Resting Jesus, I am resting, resting, in the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness of Thy loving heart. Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee, and Thy beauty fills my soul, For by thy transforming power, Thou hast made me whole. Chorus Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness of Thy loving heart. O, how great Thy loving kindness, vaster, broader than the sea! O, how marvelous Thy goodness, lavished all on me! Yes, I rest in Thee, Beloved, know what wealth of grace is Thine, Know Thy certainty of promise, and have made it mine. Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art, And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, satisfies my heart; Satisfies its deepest longings, meets, supplies its every need, Compasseth me round with blessings: Thine is love indeed! Ever lift Thy face upon me as I work and wait for Thee; Resting neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus, earth s dark shadows flee. Brightness of my Father s glory, sunshine of my Father s face, Keep me ever trusting, resting, fill me with Thy grace. 7
