~God Calls Us to Worship Him~

Call to Worship    

Pastor

Let us now with meekness and boldness enter into the most holy place by the blood of Jesus, which He has opened for us.

All

Let us lift our voices and exclaim: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”

Songs    Medley of Praise

Glory to the Lamb      (CCLI#251645)

Glory, glory, glory to the Lamb, Glory, glory, glory to the Lamb.
For He is glorious and worthy to be praised,
The Lamb upon the throne; And unto Him we lift our voice in praise,
The Lamb upon the throne.

Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb, Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb.
For He is glorious and worthy to be praised,
The Lamb upon the throne; And unto Him we lift our voice in praise,
The Lamb upon the throne.

Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb; Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb.
For He is glorious and worthy to be praised,
The Lamb upon the throne; And unto Him, we lift our voice in praise,
The Lamb upon the throne.

To Him Who Sits on the Throne  (2 times)    (CCLI#251645)

To Him who sits on the throne and unto the Lamb,
To Him who sits on the throne and unto the Lamb
Be blessing and honor and glory and power forever,
Be blessing and honor and glory and power forever.

Prayer of Worship

~God Renews Us in Christ~

We Corporately Confess Our Sins    Psalm 51

Elder

Have mercy on us, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out our transgressions. Wash us thoroughly from our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin! 

All

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice.          

Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. 

We Silently Confess Our Sins

Hymn    God, Be Merciful to Me    (486)

The Grace of God in Christ    Romans 4:7-12 

We Confess Our Faith    Belgic Confession Article XX

We believe that God, who is perfectly merciful and just, sent His Son to assume that nature in which our disobedience was committed, to make satisfaction in the same, and to bear the punishment of sin by His most bitter passion and death. God therefore manifested His justice against His Son when He laid our iniquities upon Him, and poured forth His mercy and goodness on us, who were guilty and worthy of damnation, out of mere and perfect love, giving His Son unto death for us, and raising Him for our justification, that through Him we might obtain immortality and life eternal.

Song    Grace Unmeasured   (CCLI#251645)

Grace unmeasured, vast and free,
That knew me from eternity,
That called me out before my birth,
To bring You glory on this earth.

Grace amazing, pure and deep,
That saw me in my misery,
That took my curse and owned my blame,
So I could bear Your righteous name.
                    
Refrain:     Grace -- paid for my sins,
And brought me to life.
Grace -- clothes me with power to do what is right.
Grace -- leads me to heaven where I’ll see Your face,
And never cease to thank You for Your grace.

Grace abounding, strong and true,
That makes me long to be like You,
That turns me from my selfish pride,
To love the cross on which You died.

Grace unending all my days,
You’ll give me strength to run this race.
And when my years on earth are through,
The praise will all belong to You.  Refrain:  (2 times)
