*Opening Hymn

Holy, Holy, Holy

Reginald Heber and John B. Dykes

© Public Domain | CCLI Song # 4103596

1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!


2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.


3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy - there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in pow'r, in love and purity.


4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Scripture

Matthew 28:16-20

Kevin: The Word of God for the people of God.

All: Thanks be to God.

Shine, Jesus, Shine

Graham Kendrick

© 1987 Make Way Music | CCLI Song # 30426

 

Lord, the light of Your love is shining
in the midst of the darkness shining;
Jesus, light of the World, shine upon us,
set us free by the truth You now bring us,
Shine on me, shine on me.


REFRAIN:
Shine, Jesus, shine,
fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, Spirit, blaze,
set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow,
flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your Word,
Lord, and let there be light.


Lord, I come to your awesome presence
From the shadows into Your radiance.
By the blood may I enter Your brightness
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me, shine on me.


(refrain)


As we gaze on your kingly brightness,
so our faces display your likeness;
ever changing from glory to glory,
mirrored here may our lives tell your story.
Shine on me, shine on me.


(refrain)

Ancient Words

Lynn DeShazo

© 2001 Integrity's Hosanna! Music | CCLI Song # 2986399

Holy words long preserved
for our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart;
Oh, let the ancient words impart.
Words of life, words of hope,
give us strength, help us cope;
In this world, where e're we roam,
ancient words will guide us home.


Chorus:
Ancient words, ever true,
changing me and changing you;
We have come with open hearts,
oh, let the ancient words impart.


Holy words of our faith,
handed down to this age,
Came to us through sacrifice;
Oh, heed the faithful words of Christ.
Holy words long preserved
for our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart;
Oh, let the ancient words impart.


(Chorus x2)


We have come with open hearts,
oh, let the ancient words impart.

Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Morning, evening, day and night,
They are precious in His sight -
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

 

 

Children are welcome to 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

Lord, You Give the Great Commission

Jeffery Rowthorn and Cyril Vincent Taylor

© 1942, 1978 Hope Publishing Company| CCLI Song # 230673

1 Lord, you give the great commission:
“Heal the sick and preach the word.”
Lest the church neglect its mission,
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity.
With the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.


2 Lord, you call us to your service:
“In my name baptize and teach.”
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervor, draw us
closer in community.
With the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.


3 Lord, you make the common holy:
“This my body, this my blood.”
Let us all, for earth’s true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children’s liberty.
With the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.


4 Lord, you show us love’s true measure:
“Father, what they do, forgive.”
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society.
With the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.


5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
“I am with you to the end.”
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity.
With the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.

Benediction

Pastor Jim
