CALL TO WORSHIP
SCRIPTURE READING (Ephesians 1:2–4)
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. …
ADORATION
FIX MY EYES
VERSE 1
When my heart is weary,
When my soul is weak
When it seems I can't
Traverse the trail before me
I survey the glory
Of Your agony
And I find the will to fight
For what's before me
Cause You ran the race
Enduring for Your glory
CHORUS 1
I fix my eyes on You,
The Founder and
the Finisher of our faith
I fix my eyes on You,
The solace in Your suffering
is my strength
VERSE 2
As I fight to follow,
You're my righteous guide
And You train me to delight
In all that's holy
Heal my broken body,
Cure my crooked stride
Throw off every weight and sin
That clings so closely
I will run the race
Enduring for Your glory
BRIDGE 1
You help me breathe,
You're the only life I need
You died for me,
You're the only life I need
CONFESSION
CORPORATE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful Lord, we confess that with us there is an abundance of sin, but in you there is the fullness of righteousness and abundance of mercy. We are spiritually poor, but you are rich and in Jesus Christ came to be merciful to the poor. Strengthen our faith and trust in you. We are empty vessels that need to be filled; fill us. We are weak in faith; strengthen us. We are cold in love; warm us, and make our hearts fervent for you that our love may go out to one another and to our neighbors. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
HELP MY UNBELIEF
VERSE 1
I know the Lord is nigh
And would but cannot pray
For Satan meets me when I try
And frights my soul away
And frights my soul away
VERSE 2
I would but can’t repent
Though I endeavor oft
This stony heart can ne’er relent
Till Jesus makes it soft
Till Jesus makes it soft
VERSE 3
I would but cannot love
Though wooed by love divine
No arguments have power to move
A soul as base as mine
A soul so base as mine
VERSE 4
I would but cannot rest
In God’s most holy will
I know what He appoints is best
And murmur at it still
I murmur at it still
CHORUS
Help my unbelief
Help my unbelief
Help my unbelief
My help must come from Thee
ASSURANCE
SCRIPTURE READING (Hebrews 10:11–14)
And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

SONGS OF RESPONSE
BRING YOUR SICK
VERSE 1
Bring your sick, your restless fevered,
filled with anxious shaking moans,
Who would kill for some relief from,
all the itching in their bones.
Who still search for some elixir,
that could ease their gasping breath,
Some sweet drink to drive the poison,
from the writhing in their head.
VERSE 2
Bring your wounded, all your broken,
who can’t stand up on their own.
Who are weak beyond dignity,
who will never become strong.
They will only need more helping,
each investment is a loss.
Yes, bring all those who could never,
return any of their cost
CHORUS
Jesus Christ, says “Gather to Me,
all you lost, you poor, you dead!
I’m your sacrifice, your ransom,
I was given in your stead.
I have found you,
freed you, healed you,
My compassion you can trust,
I redeem the undeserving,
I am generous with My love.”
VERSE 3
Bring your fearful, bring your cowards,
bring your hiding cornered strays.
Those who fly at every shadow,
those who run without a chase.
Bring the cursed, abused, neglected,
who have lived their lives in caves,
Who distrust the light as darkness,
while they long to be embraced.
VERSE 4
Bring your bound,
the souls imprisoned,
bullied by the threat of pain,
Who have tried and tried for freedom,
but have always failed escape.
Those who live with their aggressor,
whisp’ring doubts into their ear,
Who dare not hope on a savior,
lest they be crushed by despair.
KING OF MY HEART
VERSE 1
Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from
Oh, He is my song.
Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, He is my song.
VERSE 2
Let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh, He is my song.
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh, He is my song.
CHORUS 1
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
BRIDGE 1
You’re never gonna let,
Never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let,
Never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let,
Never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let,
Never gonna let me down
ENDING
When the night is holding on to me
God is holding on
When the night is holding on to me
God is holding on
