To You, our hearts are open, Nothing here is hidden. You are our one desire. You alone are holy, Only You are worthy, God; let Your fire fall down. Let our shout be Your anthem, Your renown fill the skies. Let Your word move in power, Let what s dead come to life. Let every heart adore, let every soul awake. Be welcome in this place.

Congregation regathers as we sing BY GRACE ALONE SOMEHOW I STAND Where even angels fear to tread Invited by redeeming love Before the throne of God above He pulls me close with nail-scared hands Into his everlasting arms. When condemnation grips my heart And Satan tempts me to despair I hear the voice that scatters fear The Great I Am, The Lord is here O praise the One who fights for me And shields my soul eternally. Boldly I approach Your throne Blameless now I m running home. By your blood I come, Welcomed as Your own Into the arms of Majesty. Behold the bright and risen Son; More beauty than this world has known. I m face to face with Love Himself, His perfect spotless righteousness A thousand years, a thousand tongues Are not enough to sing His praise. Bridge: This is the art of celebration Knowing we re free from condemnation O praise the One Praise the One Who made an end of all my sin. (repeat) WELCOME BACK & SUMMARY As our Saviour taught us, so we pray: Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Yes NOTICES, BIRTHDAYS & COMMISSIONING OF PCC OFFERTORY HYMN MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS Than Jesus blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus Name. Christ alone, Cornerstone. Weak made strong in the Saviour s love. Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all When Darkness seems to hide His face I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. My anchor holds within the veil. When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, And faultless stand before the throne.

Martyn Layzell 2002 Kingsway s Thankyou Music TO THE RIVER I AM GOING, Bringing sins I cannot bear. Come and cleanse me, Come forgive me; Lord, I need to meet You there. In these waters healing mercy Flows with freedom from despair I am going to the river; Lord, I need to meet You there. Precious Jesus, I am ready To surrender every care. Take my hand now, lead me closer; Lord I need to meet You there. Come and join us in the river, Come, find life beyond compare. He is calling, He is waiting; Jesus longs to meet you there. Brian Doerksen, Michael Hansen & Brain Thiessan 2004 Integrity s Hosanna Music. YOU CHOSE THE CROSS WITH EVERY BREATH, The perfect life, the perfect death: A crown of thorns You wore for us, And crowned us with eternal life: And though Your soul was overwhelmed with pain, Obedient to death You overcame. I m lost in wonder, I m lost in love, I m lost in praise for evermore. Because of Jesus unfailing love I am forgiven, I am restored. You loosed the cords of sinfulness And broke the chains of my disgrace: Up from the grave victorious, You rose again so glorious: The sorrow that surrounded You was mine, Yet not my will but Yours be done, You cried.
