Welcome and Call to Worship

Congregational Hymn

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing, #466

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing, #466 
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My dear Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of God’s grace!
 
Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’Tis life, and health, and peace.
 
Christ breaks the power of reigning sin,
And sets the prisoner free;
Christ’s blood can make the sinful clean,
Christ’s blood availed for me.
 
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.”
 

I Will Follow

Where You go I’ll go
Where You stay I’ll stay
When You move I’ll move
I will follow 2X
 
All Your ways are good, All Your ways are sure
I will trust in You alone
Higher than my sight, High above my life
I will trust in You alone 
 
Chorus
Where You go I’ll go, Where You stay I’ll stay
When You move I’ll move, I will follow
Who You love I’ll love, How You serve I’ll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow You
 
Light unto the world, Light unto my life
I will live for You alone
You’re the One I seek, Knowing I will find
All I need in You alone
 
Chorus
In You there’s life everlasting
In You there’s freedom for my soul
In You there’s joy unending joy
And I will follow
Chorus 2X
 
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
 
Chorus

Prayer of Confession

Father, we are thankful that your mercy is higher than the heavens, wider than our wanderings, deeper than all our sin. Forgive our careless attitudes toward your purposes, our envy of those who have more than we have, our indifference to the treasures of heaven, our neglect of your wise and gracious law. Help us to change our way of life so that we may desire what is good, love what you love, and do what you command, through Jesus Christ our Lord (time of silent confession).
