LAFAYETTE-ORINDA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SUNDAY WORSHIP BULLETIN SUPPLEMENT Hymn of Praise: Morning Has Broken Text: ; Music: Gaelic melody, arr. Yusuf Islam, tune: BUNESSAN Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning! Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word! Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where God’s feet pass Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning Born of the one light Eden saw play! Praise with elation, praise every morning God’s re-creation of the new day Preparation for Prayer: Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me Words & Music by Jonny Robinson, Michael Farren, and Rich Thompson © 2018 Farren Love and War Publishing, Integrity’s Alleluia! Music CCLI #7121852 What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer There is no more for heaven now to give He is my joy my righteousness and freedom My steadfast love my deep and boundless peace To this I hold my hope is only Jesus For my life is wholly bound to his Oh how strange and divine I can sing all is mine Yet not I but through Christ in me The night is dark but I am not forsaken For by my side the Savior he will stay I labor on in weakness and rejoicing For in my need his power is displayed To this I hold my Shepherd will defend me Through the deepest valley he will lead Oh the night has been won and I shall overcome Yet not I but through Christ in me No fate I dread I know I am forgiven The future sure the price it has been paid For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon And he was raised to overthrow the grave

To this I hold my sin has been defeated Jesus now and ever is my plea Oh, the chains are released I can sing I am free Yet not I but through Christ in me When the race is complete still my lips shall repeat Yet not I but through Christ in me Response: What a Beautiful Name Words and Music: Ben Fielding and Brooke Ligertwood You were the Word at the beginning One with God the Lord Most High Your hidden glory in creation Now revealed in You, our Christ What a beautiful Name it is, the Name of Jesus Christ, my King Nothing compares to this. What a beautiful name it is, the Name of Jesus You didn’t want heaven without us So Jesus, You brought heaven down My sin was great, Your love was greater What could separate us now? What a wonderful name it is, the Name of Jesus Christ, my King Nothing compares to this. What a wonderful Name it is, the Name of Jesus Death could not hold You The veil tore before You You silence the boast of sin and grave The heavens are roaring the praise of Your glory For You are raised to life again You have no rival. You have no equal Now and forever God, You reign Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory Yours is the name above all Names What a powerful Name it is, the Name of Jesus Christ, my King Nothing can stand against. What a powerful Name it is, the Name of Jesus Sermon: On Belonging the Scripture (Romans 8:12–17) and other quotes So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ —if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. (Romans 8:12–17)

There is one God and Father, one Only-Begotten Son, and one Holy Spirit. We declare each Person to be unique, and if we must use numbers, we will not let a stupid arithmetic lead us astray to the idea of many gods. –Basil of Caesarea

All sorts of people are fond of repeating the Christian statement that “God is love.” But they seem not to notice that the words “God is love” have no real meaning unless God contains at least two persons. Love is something that one person has for another person. If God was a single person, then before the world was made, He was not love. –C.S. Lewis

Because the Christian God is not a lonely God, but rather a communion of three persons, faith leads human beings into the divine communion. One cannot, however, have a self-enclosed communion with the Triune God—a “foursome,” as it were—for the Christian God is not a private deity. Communion with this God is at once also communion with those others who have entrusted themselves in faith to the same God. –Miroslav Volf

In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. –A Brief Statement of Faith, 11.1 Anthem: Thou Art Holy Text: Reginald Herber; Music John B. Dykes (tune: NICAEA); Setting by Craig Courtney (ASCAP) ©1989 Beckenhorst Press. Holy holy, holy Holy, Thou art holy Thou alone art holy Thou art holy, Thou art holy Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee Casting down their golden clowns around the glassy sea Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee Who wert, and art, and evermore shall be Thou art holy! Thou art holy! Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see Only Thou art holy! There is none beside Thee Perfect in power, in love and purity Thou art holy! Thou art holy! Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O Lord Thou art holy, Thou alone art holy

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Closing Hymn: We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight Text: Henry Alford, 1844, alt.; Music: Samuel McFarland, c. 1814; Tune: DUNLAP’S CREEK’ | Hymnal #817 We walk by faith and not by sight With gracious words draw near O Christ, who spoke as none e’er spoke: “My peace be with you here.” We may not touch your hands and side Nor follow where you trod But in your promise we rejoice And cry, “My Lord and God!” Help then, O Lord, our unbelief And may our faith abound To call on you when you are near And seek where you are found And when our life of faith is done In realms of clearer light May we behold you as you are With full and endless sight
