Invocation
 
Declaration of Truth                                                                                        
Psalm 23

Leader: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
 
All: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
 
Leader: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
 
All: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
 
Leader: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
 
All: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.  As it was in the  beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen, Amen
 
The Gloria Patri’s first line was sung in the church as early as the 2nd century to affirm that God is Triune. The second line was added in the 4th century to emphasize the eternal Deity of Jesus, refuting the Arian heresy that Jesus was not eternally God.
 
Hymn of Praise                              
Salvation’s Song

Loved before the dawn of time,  chosen by my Maker,
Hidden in my Savior:   I am his and he is mine,
Cherished for eternity.

When I'm stained with guilt and sin,
He is there to lift me, heal me and forgive me;
Gives me strength to stand again,  stronger than I was before.
 
So with every breath that I am given  I will sing salvation's song;
And I'll join the chorus of creation giving praise to Christ alone.

All the chains of Satan's curse
Lifted through his offering,  satisfied through suffering;
All the blessings he deserves  poured on my unworthy soul.

So with every breath that I am given  I will sing salvation's song;
And I'll join the chorus of creation giving praise to Christ alone.

Singing glory, honor, wisdom, power
To the Lamb upon the throne.  Hallelujah, I will lift him high.
Singing glory, honor, wisdom, power
To the Lamb upon the throne.

Hallelujah I will sing with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation's song;  and I'll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to Christ alone.

Stars will fade and mountains fall;  Christ will shine forever,
Love's unfading splendor.
Earth and heaven will bow in awe, joining in salvation's song.

On Jordan’s Stormy Banks

On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand, and cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land, where my possessions lie.
 
All o’er those wide extended plains, shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns, and scatters night away.
 
Chorus: I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land,
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land.
 
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness, sorrow, pain and death, are felt and feared no more.
 
When shall I reach that happy place, and be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father’s face, and in his bosom rest?

Satisfied

All my life long, I had panted
For a drink from some cool spring
that I hoped would quench the burning
of the thirst I felt within.

Hallelujah! he has found me
the one my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies all my longings
Through his blood I now am saved.

Feeding on the filth around me
till my strength was almost gone
Longed my soul for something better
only still to hunger on.

Poor I was and sought for riches
something that would satisfy.
But the dust I gathered 'round me
only mocked my soul's sad cry.

Well of water ever springing
Bread of Life so rich and free.
Untold wealth that never faileth,
my Redeemer is to me.
