Song of Praise Glory in the Highest by Jonathan Rundman
Chorus
Glory in the highest
Glory be to God
Glory in the highest
and peace to all the earth
Shaper of the universe
Thanks and praise we sing
Loving father, caring mother
Hold us in your wings
Jesus Christ the Lamb of God
You wash our sins away
At your table all are welcome
Hear us as we pray
Holy Spirit source of life
Burning wild and free
You are God the three in one
Such a mystery

Message
Song of the Day Blessed Assurance by Fanny J. Crosby
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation purchase of God;
Born of the Spirit washed in His blood
Chorus
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long;
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
Perfect submission perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy whispers of love
Perfect submission all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting looking above
Filled with His goodness lost in His love.

Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Lamb of God by Jonathan Rundman
Lamb of God you take away
the sin of the world
Have mercy, mercy on us
Lamb of God you take away
the sin of the world
Have mercy, mercy on us
Lamb of God you take away
the sin of the world
Oh grant us peace
Lamb of God

Song Come Thou Found of Every Blessing Music: Repository of Sacred Music, Part II; Text: Robert Robinson
Come, thou Fount of ev'ry blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
While the hope of endless glory
fills my heart with joy and love,
teach me ever to adore thee;
may I still thy goodness prove.
Here I raise my Ebenezer:
"Hither by thy help I've come";
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wand'ring from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be;
let that grace now like a fetter
bind my wand'ring heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
prone to leave the God I love.
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.
