Call to Worship

Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs “Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above” alt. Duncan Sing praise to God who reigns above, the God of all creation, the God of power, the God of love, the God of our salvation. With healing balm my soul he fills, and every faithless murmur stills. To God all praise and glory! What God’s almighty pow’r hath made his gracious mercy keepeth, by morning flow or evening shade his watchful eye ne’er sleepeth; within the kingdom of his might, Lo! all is just and all is right. To God all praise and glory! The Lord is never far away, but, through all grief distressing, an everpresent help and stay, our peace and joy and blessing. As with a mother’s tender hand, he leads his own, his chosen band. To God all praise and glory! Thus all my toilsome way along I sing aloud his praises, that all may hear the grateful song my voice unwearied raises. Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body bear your part. To God all praise and glory!

“No Other Name” Houston/Myrin One Name holds weight above them all. His fame outlasts the earth he formed. His praise resounds beyond the stars and echoes in our hearts, the greatest One of all. His face shines brighter than the sun. His grace as boundless as his love. He reigns with healing in his wings. The King above all kings, the greatest One of all. Chorus: Lift up our eyes, see the King has come. Light of the world, reaching out for us. There is no other Name. There is no other Name. Jesus Christ our God, seated on high, the undefeated One. Mountains bow down as we lift him up. There is no other Name. There is no other Name. Jesus Christ our God. Find hope when all the world seems lost, behold the triumph of the cross. His power has trampled death and grave. Our life found in his Name, the greatest Name of all. Bridge: The earth will shake and tremble before him. Chains will break as heaven and earth sing, “Holy is the Name. Holy is the Name of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.” There is no other Name. There is no other Name. Jesus. © 2014 Hillsong Music Publishing, CCLI# 74901

“Agnus Dei” Smith Alleluia, alleluia, for the Lord God Almighty reigns. Alleluia, alleluia, for the Lord God Almighty reigns. Alleluia. Holy, holy, are you Lord, God Almighty. Worthy is the Lamb, worthy is the Lamb. You are holy, holy, are you Lord God, Almighty! Worthy is the Lamb, worthy is the Lamb. Amen. ©1990 Milene Music, Inc., CCLI # 74901

Offertory “We Exalt Your Name” Jobe/Maher Spirit come and change the atmosphere, convict and open hearts to hear. The anthems that the angels sing, the worship of the King of Kings. For Jesus reigns, over all he reigns. We exalt your name high above the heavens. We exalt your name all of creation sings praise. For Jesus reigns, over all he reigns. Your presence fills and satisfies, tears down the walls we hide behind. Oh, God of every aching heart, we long for you in light and dark. For Jesus reigns, over all he reigns. © 2010 Thankyou Music, Valley Of Songs Music, Worship Together Music, CCLI# 74901

“Come Behold The Wondrous Mystery” Papa/Boswell/Bleecker Come behold the wondrous mystery in the dawning of the King. He the theme of heaven’s praises robed in frail humanity. In our longing, in our darkness now the light of life has come. Look to Christ, who condescended took on flesh to ransom us. Come behold the wondrous mystery: He the perfect Son of Man. In his living, in his suffering, never trace nor stain of sin. See the true and better Adam come to save the hell bound man. Christ the great and sure fulfillment of the law; in him we stand. Come behold the wondrous mystery: Christ the Lord upon the tree. In the stead of ruined sinners hangs the Lamb in victory. See the price of our redemption; see the Father’s plan unfold. Bringing many sons to glory; grace unmeasured, love untold. Come behold the wondrous myst’ry; slain by death the God of life. But no grave could e’er restrain him; praise the Lord; He is alive! What a foretaste of deliverance; how unwavering our hope. Christ in power resurrected, as we will be when he comes. © 2013 Love Your Enemies Publishing, CCLI# 74901
