Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates
Catherine Winkworth and Georg Weissel

1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates;
behold, the King of glory waits;
the King of kings is drawing near;
the Savior of the world is here!
2 Fling wide the portals of your heart;
make it a temple, set apart
from earthly use for heaven’s employ,
adorned with prayer and love and joy.
3 Redeemer, come, with us abide;
our hearts to thee we open wide;
let us thy inner presence feel;
thy grace and love in us reveal.
4 Thy Holy Spirit lead us on
until our glorious goal is won;
eternal praise, eternal fame
be offered, Savior, to thy name!
Scripture
Micah 6:8 & Matthew 5:1-12

Kevin: The Word of God for the people of God.
All: Thanks be to God.

Mighty to Save
Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan
© 2006 Hillsong Publishing | CCLI Song # 4591782
Everyone needs compassion, a love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.
Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a Savior,
the Hope of nations.
Refrain:
Savior, He can move the mountains;
my God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave;
Jesus conquered the grave.
So take me as you find me, all my fears and failures;
Fill my life again.
I give my life to follow everything I believe in.
Now I surrender. [Refrain]
Shine your light and let the whole world see, we're singing
for the glory of the risen King. Jesus!
Shine your light and let the whole world see, we're singing
for the glory of the risen King. [Refrain]
You're my Savior. You can move the mountains;
God, you are mighty to save, you are mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
You rose and conquered the grave;
Yes, You conquered the grave. [Refrain]

Open our eyes, Lord,
We want to see Jesus, to reach out
And touch Him, and say that we love Him.
Open our ears, Lord, and help us to listen,
Open our eyes. Lord, we want to see Jesus.

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 leave and make their way to Children's Church.

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.
Offertory
