*Opening Hymn
I Am Thine, O Lord
Fanny Jane Crosby and William Howard Doane
© Public Domain | CCLI Song # 25424
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine. [Refrain]
O, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend! [Refrain]
There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee. [Refrain]
Scripture
Acts 20:1-12

*Praise Time
Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Edwin Othello Excell, Louie Giglio, John Newton, John P. Rees, and Chris Tomlin
© 2006 Vamos Publishing| CCLI Song # 4768151
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear;
And grace my fears relieved,
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
Chorus:
My chains are gone, I've been set free,
My God, My Savior has ransomed me,
And like a flood his mercy reigns.
Unending love, amazing grace.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures. (Chorus)
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
Will be forever mine.
You are forever mine.
Children are welcome to leave and make their way to Children's Church.

Congregational Prayer
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 trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
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
Take My Life and Let It Be
Frances Ridley Havergal and Henri Abraham Cesar Malan
© Public Domain | CCLI Song # 1390
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days -
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold -
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect and use
Ev'ry pow'r as Thou shalt choose,
Ev'ry pow'r as Thou shalt choose.
Take my will and make it Thine -
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart - it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love - my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself - and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
