CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 36:5-10)

Worship Leader: Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

Together: Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep.

Leader: You, Lord, preserve both people and animals. How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

Together: They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.

Leader: For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

Together: Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

SONGS OF WORSHIP & PRAISE

Come, People of the Risen King 

Verse 1

Come people of the Risen King

Who delight to bring Him praise

Come all and tune your hearts to sing

To the Morning Star of grace

From the shifting shadows of the earth

Where steady arms of mercy reach

To gather children in

Let ev'ry tongue rejoice

One heart one voice

O Church of Christ rejoice

Verse 2

Come those whose joy is morning sun

And those weeping through the night

Come those who tell of battles won

And those struggling in the fight

For His perfect love will never change

And His mercies never cease

But follow us through all our days

With the certain hope of peace

Verse 3

Come young and old from ev'ry land

Men and women of the faith

Our God is all in all

Jesus name above all names

Beautiful Savior glorious Lord

Emmanuel God is with us

Blessed Redeemer living Word

Jesus loving Shepherd

Vine of the branches Son of God

Prince of Peace Wonderful Counselor

Lord of the universe Light of the world

 

Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery

Verse 1

Come behold the wondrous myst'ry

In the dawning of the King

He the theme of heaven's praises

Robed in frail humanity

 

In our longing in our darkness

Now the light of life has come

Look to Christ who condescended

Took on flesh to ransom us

Verse 2

Come behold the wondrous myst'ry

He the perfect Son of Man

In His living in His suff'ring

Never trace nor stain of sin

See the true and better Adam

Come to save the hell-bound man

Christ the great and sure fulfillment

Of the law in Him we stand

Verse 3

Come behold the wondrous myst'ry

Christ the Lord upon the tree

In the stead of ruined sinners

Hangs the Lamb in victory

See the price of our redemption

See the Father's plan unfold

Bringing many sons to glory

Grace unmeasured love untold

Verse 4

Come behold the wondrous myst'ry

Slain by death the God of life

But no grave could e'er restrain Him

Praise the Lord He is alive

What a foretaste of deliv'rance

How unwavering our hope

Christ in power resurrected

As we will be when He comes
