Prayer of Worship

~God Renews Us in Christ~

We Corporately Confess Our Sin and Need
Blessed Jesus, you offered us all your blessings when you announced; Blessed are the poor in spirit, but we have been rich in pride. Blessed are those who mourn, but we have not known much sorrow for our sin. Blessed are the meek, but we are a stiff-necked people. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, but we are filled to the full with other things. Blessed are the merciful, but we are harsh and impatient. Blessed are the pure in heart, but we have impure hearts. Blessed are the peacemakers, but we have not sought reconciliation. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, but our lives do not challenge the world. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me, but we have hardly made it known that we are yours. Your Law is holy, and your benedictions are perfect, but they are both too great for us. You alone are blessed. We plead with you, in the Name of Jesus, to forgive our sins for the glory of your great Name, and give us the blessing of your righteousness. Amen

We Silently Confess Our Sins

Song: It’s Your Grace (CCLI#251645)

You will save whom You will save. We’re the lost and helpless ones.
The rebels and the renegades Who spurned Your holy love.
You will save whom You will save. Mercy will be magnified.
Everyone has gone astray and followed after lies.
But You have loved us and opened our eyes.

It’s Your grace from beginning to the end. It’s Your grace.
We will never comprehend
Why You drew the ones who ran from You.
What can we do but offer You praise?

You will save whom You will save. We were captive to our wills.
And if our hearts had not been changed, we’d flee Your mercy still.
You will save whom You will save. Who can question what You do?
You’re the potter, we’re the clay. You can make us as You choose.
And there is no one who boasts before You.

You will save whom You will save. Yet the promised hope remains.
You will rescue anyone Who calls upon Your name.
You will save whom You will save Faithful love won’t be denied.
Christ has overcome the grave, and for our sins He died.
And when He comes back His glory will shine.

God’s Grace in Christ Colossians 1:15-23

Song All that I Need (CCLI#251645)
In You is strength to sustain me, and wisdom enough to guide my hand, Mercy enough to forgive me, and power to finish what You began.

Chorus: All that I need is in You, Jesus, The fountain of grace that overflows. All that I need is in You, Jesus. You are my only hope. You are my only hope.

In You is fullness of gladness, and fullness of grace for every need, Rest for the ones who are weary, and beauty surpassing all that we’ve seen.

Bridge: You satisfy my heart. You satisfy my soul. You satisfy my heart, O help me always know. (2x)

Chorus: (2x)
