6. OPENING SONG- BLESED BE YOUR
NAME
Blessed be Your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
7. Blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be Your name
8. Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Blessed be the name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
9. Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
10. Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Blessed be the name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name (2X)
11. WORSHIP MEDLEY
I sing Praises to Your name
Oh Lord
Praises to Your name
Oh Lord
For Your name is Great
And greatly to be praised
(2X)
12. I stand I stand in awe of You
I stand I stand in awe of You
Holy God to whom all praises due
I stand in awe of You
(2X)
13. Forever You will be
The Lamb upon the throne
I gladly bow my knees
And worship Him alone
(2X)
14. OFFERING- IN CHRIST ALONE
In Christ alone
My hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest
drought and storm
15. What heights of love
what depths of peace
When fears are stilled
When strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
16. There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
17. No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand:
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
21. Lift up your hearts
We lift them up to the
Lord
Give thanks and praise
to the Lord our God!
It is right to give Him
thanks and praise.
22. God, you know us better
than we know ourselves.
You know our thoughts,
our weaknesses, our
motivations, our sins.
And you love us still.
23. When we do not listen
to your voice in the
depths of our own
hearts, calling us to
love and forgive:
Lord have mercy.
24. When we do not listen
to your voice in our
common life, calling us
to welcome the
stranger and create
community:
Christ have mercy.
25. When we do not listen
to your voice in our
world, calling us to
work for justice and to
make peace:
Lord have mercy.
26. Remove from our minds
every thought which keeps
us from you.
Break down the walls,
push aside our pride, and
help us to trust anew.
You know our hearts,
and you love us still.
Amen.
27. Dear God, we come to Your
table of grace in
remembrance of Your great
love for us, and in
remembrance of the great
gift of Your Son Jesus
Christ, who came to rescue
us, restore us, and to give us
new life.
We come in remembrance
of the way that Jesus
showed His love on the
evening before He died.
28. The Lord Jesus, on the
night of his arrest,
took bread, and after
giving thanks to God,
he broke it, and gave it
to his disciples, saying:
This is my body
broken for you. Eat
this and remember
Me.
29. In the same way he
took the cup of wine,
gave thanks for it, and
gave it to them,
saying:
This is my blood
shed for you. Drink
this and remember
Me.
30. Every time we eat bread
like this, and every time
we drink wine like this,
we remember Jesus, and
His everlasting love.
The communion cups
will be distributed now.
Please wait as we take
Holy Communion all
together.
31. COMMUNION – NEW WINE

In the soil I now surrender
You are breaking new ground
So I yield to You, into Your careful hand
When I trust You, I don't need to understand
32. Make me Your vessel
Make me an offering
Make me whatever
You want me to be
I came here with nothing
But all You have given me
Jesus bring new wine out of me
33. In the crushing

In the soil I now surrender
You are breaking new ground
You are breaking new ground

To carry Your new fire today

The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery

When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
