GREATER THAN WE CAN IMAGINE
Verse 1
Every day we’ll bless You and praise Your name
And on Your glorious splendor we will dwell
On Your wondrous works, Lord, we’ll meditate
And of Your awesome power we will tell
We’ll speak of Your salvation
And Your abundant goodness
Chorus
Because You are greater than we can imagine
You are too beautiful for us to fathom
Oh You are great and greatly to be praised
Verse 2
Every generation shall sing Your worth
And magnify Your mercy and Your grace
We’ll sing about the Savior who came to earth
To bear the sins of those He came to save
You fill our hearts with wonder
We’ll worship You forever
HE WILL HOLD ME FAST
Verse 1:
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.
Chorus:
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast!
Verse 2:
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.
Verse 3:
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!
WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS
Verse 1:
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Verse 2:
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
Chorus:
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Sa – vior has ransomed me
And like a flood, His mercy rains
Unending love Amazing Grace
Verse 3:
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Verse 4:
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a offer – ing far too small;
Love so ama – zing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Chorus:
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Sa – vior has ransomed me
And like a flood, His mercy rains
Unending love Amazing Grace

Sermon: “The Sweet Sorrow of Repentance”

Closing song
COME THOU FOUNT
Verse 1:
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the name! I’m fixed upon it
Name of Thy redeeming love
Verse 2:
Hitherto Thy love has blessed me
Thou hast drawn me to this place
And I know Thy hand will lead me
Safely home by Thy good grace
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Verse 3:
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Verse 4:
On that day when freed from sinning
I shall see Thy lovely face
Clothed then in blood-washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace
Come my Lord, no longer tarry
Bring Thy promises to pass
For I know Thy pow’r will keep me
Till I’m home with Thee at last
Bulletin
Today We Celebrate the Lord’s Supper
Communion signifies our Lord’s loving sacrifice for our sin. Everyone who trusts Jesus to save them is encouraged to participate. If you are not a believer or you are under church discipline, we ask that you refrain, put your trust in our Lord and talk to a pastor. Further, if you haven’t been baptized, please talk to us. Baptism is the proper initial rite of the faith. *There are gluten-free wafers available at the usher station.
