Let us sing, though fierce temptation Threatens hard to bear us down. For the Lord our strong salvation, Holds in view the conqueror s crown. Soon will bring us home to God. Let us wonder grace and justice, Join and point to mercy's store. When through grace in Christ our trust is, Justice smiles and asks no more. Has secured our way to God. Let us praise and join the chorus Of the saints enthroned on high. Here they trusted him before us, Now their praises fill the sky. You are worthy, Lamb You are worthy, Lamb of God.

Prelude Introit "Lord of Creation" Call to Worship Chorus Come, Thou Almighty King Come, Thou Almighty King, Help us Thy Name to sing, Help us to praise: Father, all glorious, O er all victorious, Come and reign over us, Ancient of Days. Come, Thou incarnate Word, Gird on Thy mighty Sword, Our prayer attend. Come and Thy people bless, And give Thy Word success, Spirit of holiness, on us descend. Come, Holy Comforter, Thy sacred witness bear In this glad hour. Thou, Who almighty art, Now rule in every heart, And ne'er from us depart, Spirit of power. Holy, holy, holy Is the Lord God Almighty. Who was and is and is to come; With all creation I sing Praise to the King of kings; You are my ev'rything And I will adore You. Clothed in rainbows of living color, Flashes of lightning, Rolls of thunder; Blessing and honor, strength and Glory and power be To You, the only wise King. Filled with wonder, Awestruck wonder, At the mention of Your name; Jesus, Your name is power, Breath and living water, Such a marv'lous mystery.

Sinai's flame. He has brought us nigh to God. Let us love the Lord who bought us, Pitied us when enemies, Called us by His grace and taught us, Gave us ears and gave us eyes. He presents our souls to God.
The Communion Hymn (Behold The Lamb) Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away, Slain for us and we remember The promise made that all who come in faith Find forgiveness at the cross. So we share in this Bread of Life, And we drink of His sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of peace The body of our Savior Jesus Christ, Torn for you eat and remember; The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life Paid the price to make us one. So we share in this Bread of Life, And we drink of His sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of love The blood that cleanses every stain of sin, Shed for you drink and remember He drained death's cup that all may enter in To receive the life of God. So we share in this Bread of Life, And we drink of His sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of grace And so with thankfulness and faith we rise To respond and to remember Our call to follow in the steps of Christ As His body here on earth. As we share in His suffering, We proclaim Christ will come again! And we'll join in the feast of heaven CCLI Song # 5003372 Keith Getty Kristyn Getty Stuart Townend 2007 Thankyou Music (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing) Revelation Song Worthy is the Lamb who was slain; Holy, holy is He; Sing a new song to Him Who sits on Heaven's mercy seat. Chorus To Thee, Great One in Three, Eternal praises be Hence evermore. Thy Sovereign Majesty, May we in glory see, And to eternity love and adore. CCLI Song # 29073 Arr. Jeff Vogan Felice de Giardini Your Great Name We Praise (Immortal Invisible) Immortal, invisible, God only wise; In light inaccessible hid from our eyes; Most holy, most glorious, the Ancient of Days; Almighty, victorious, Your great Name we praise! Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light; Not wanting, or wasting, You rule us in might. Your justice like mountains high soaring above; Your clouds which are fountains of goodness and love. All life comes from You, Lord, to both great and small. In all life You live, Lord, the true Life of all. We blossom and flourish, but quickly grow frail; We wither and perish, but You never fail! Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light, Your angels adore You, all veiling their sight. All praise we will render, oh Father of Grace, Till one day in splendor we see face to face!

Psalm 99 The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. Let them praise your great and awesome name he is holy. The King is mighty, he loves justice You have established equity; in Jacob you have done what is just and right. Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; He is holy. Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who called on his name; they called on the Lord and he answered them. He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them. O Lord our God, you answered them; you were to Israel a forgiving God, though you punished their misdeeds. Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy. Holy Holy Holy Holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy. Holy is the Lord God Almighty. Worthy to receive glory. Worthy to receive honor. Worthy to receive all our praise today. Praise Him. Praise Him and lift Him up. Praise Him. Exalt His name forever. CCLI Song # 565984 Gary Oliver 1991 CMI-HP Publishing (Admin. by Word Music Group, Inc.)
