We Corporately Confess Our Sin and Need From Psalm 25

Elder
Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love,

All
for they have been from of old.

Elder
Remember not the sins of our youth

All
or my transgressions;

Elder
according to your steadfast love remember us,

All
for the sake of your goodness, O LORD!

Elder
For your name's sake, O LORD,

All
pardon my guilt, for it is great.

Elder
Turn to us and be gracious to us,

All
for we are lonely and afflicted.

Elder
The troubles of our hearts are enlarged;

All
bring us out of our distresses.

Elder
Consider our affliction and our trouble,

All
and forgive all our sins.

We Silently Confess Our Sins

Song He Will Hold Me Fast (CCLI#251645)

When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold through life's fearful path;
For my love is often cold; He must hold me fast.

Refrain: He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast.

Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in his holy sight, He will hold me fast.
He'll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast. Refrain

For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast
’Till our faith is turned to sight, When He comes at last! Refrain-2X

God’s Grace in Christ Titus 2:11-3:7

Hymn 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.

Refrain: 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. Refrain

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. Refrain
