CALL TO WORSHIP

SCRIPTURE READING (Psalm 95:6–7a)

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

ADORATION

GREAT ARE YOU LORD

VERSE 1
You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken

PRE-CHORUS
Great are You, Lord

CHORUS
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
to You only

VERSE 2
You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken

BRIDGE 1
All the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry
These bones will sing
Great are You, Lord

CONFESSION

CALL AND RESPONSE BASED ON ISAIAH 53:3–4

LEADER:
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;

TOGETHER:
yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

LEADER:
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities;

TOGETHER
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

LEADER:
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way;

TOGETHER:
and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

ASSURANCE

SCRIPTURE READING (John 10:11–16)

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

THANKSGIVING

ROCK OF AGES

VERSE 1
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure.

VERSE 2
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill the laws commands
Should my passion never fade
And my efforts all be weighed
All for sin could not atone
You must save and you alone

VERSE 3
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Wretched, I to the fount fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

CHORUS
Rock of ages No one takes your life
Yet you died that I might live
Costly grace you freely give
Rock of ages You have paid the price
You were cleft to cover me
Let me hide myself in thee

BRIDGE
And while I draw my final breath
I'll rest upon your grace
And when I close my eyes in death
I'll wake to see your face

INSTRUCTIONS AND DISTRIBUTION

ADOPTION

VERSE 1
We are the cold and starving
We are the scared and trembling
We are the desperately lost
We are the lone and hopeless
We are the outcast orphans
We are the ones no one wants

But a Father is coming for us

CHORUS
You adopted us in
And You made us Your own
You adopted us in
And You gave us a home

VERSE 2
We were the long discarded
We were the weak and useless
We needed rescue and help
We were the long forgotten
We were the disregarded
We couldn't care for ourselves

But a Father was coming for us

VERSE 3
When I met You,
I didn't know You had glory
I didn't know You were a King
I was too young
To know You were a rich man
I just knew You loved me
Oh, I knew You loved me
I just know You love me

PARTAKING AND PRAYER

SONG OF RESPONSE

WONDROUS LOVE

VERSE 1
What wondrous love is this,
O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this,
O my soul!

What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
For my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

VERSE 2
When I was sinking down,
Sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down,
Sinking down,

When I was sinking down
beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown
For my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

VERSE 3
To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing, I will sing; To God and to the Lamb
I will sing.

To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great I Am;
While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme,
I will sing.

BRIDGE
Oh how high, oh how wide
Oh how deep is Your love
Oh my soul, set on fire
By Your wondrous love for us

VERSE 4
And when from death I’m free,
I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And when from death I’m free,
I’ll sing on.

And when from death I’m free,
I’ll sing and joyful be,
And through eternity
I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
And through eternity I’ll sing on.
