MUSIC IN WORSHIP
Christ Be Magnified
Were creation suddenly articulate
With a thousand tongues
to lift one cry
Then from North to South
and East to West
We’d hear Christ be magnified
Were the whole Earth echoing
His eminence
His name would burst from
sea and sky
From rivers to the mountain tops
We’d hear Christ be magnified
Chorus
Oh! Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
Oh! Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
When every creature finds its inmost melody
And every human heart its native cry
Oh then in one- enrap-tured hymn of praise
We’ll sing Christ be magnified
(Chorus)
Bridge
I won’t bow to idols, I’ll
stand strong and worship You
And if it puts me in the fire,
I’ll rejoice ’cause You’re there too
I won’t be formed by feelings,
I hold fast to what is true
If the cross brings transformation
then I’ll be crucified with You
‘Cause death is just the doorway
into resurrection life
And if I join You in Your suffering,
then I’ll join You when You rise
And when You return in glory with
all the angels and the saints
My heart will still be singing,
my song will be the same
(Chorus x2)
O Lord, My Rock and My Redeemer
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Greatest treasure of my longing soul
My God, like You there is no other
True delight is found in You alone
Your grace, a well too deep to fathom
Your love exceeds the heaven’s reach
Your truth, a fount of perfect wisdom
My highest good and my unending need
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Strong defender of my weary heart
My sword to fight the cruel deceiver
And my shield against his hateful darts
My song, when enemies surround me
My hope, when tides of sorrow rise
My joy, when trials are abounding
Your faithfulness, my refuge in the night
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Gracious Savior of my ruined life
My guilt and cross laid on Your shoulders
In my place You suffered bled and died
You rose, the grave and death
are conquered
You broke my bonds of sin and shame
You rose, the grave and death
are conquered
You broke my bonds of sin and shame
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
May all my days bring glory to Your Name
May all my days bring glory to Your Name
Children Dismissed to Sunday School
Humbled Heart
I come again to the humble King
Bowed at the cross where He died for me
Look at the love and the blood poured out
The scars in His hands and His feet
The son of God hung on a tree
Chorus
All I can say is I need You
All I can do is fall down on my knees
All I can offer is praise upon praise
For the grace upon grace I’ve received From a humbled heart
To the humble King
I come again to a table set
Remembering how You bring life from death
The Author, Creator, and crucified Savior
Paid every price for my sin
Forever and ever amen
Chorus
From a humbled heart
To the humble King
Be exalted Be glorified
Our humble King
We lift you high (x3)

Offering Prayer (together)
(from New Life Fellowship, NY)
Father, you are an abundant giver.
There is nothing that we have that you have not given us.
The way of your kingdom is the way of generosity.
Help us honor you with our resources.
Free us from the deceit of riches.
Lead us on the path of generosity.
For your glory, Lord, for the abundance of our own lives and for the sake of others.
Teaching
The God Zone – The Golden Rule
Pastor Jonathan Markham
Matthew 7:12
“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.
COMMUNION
Welcome to the Table
Come to this table not because you must but because you may
Not because you are strong but because you are weak
Come not because of any goodness of your own gives you the right to come but because you need mercy and help
Come because you’ve a little and you would like to live even more
Come because God loves you
Come and meet the risen Christ for He is the bread of life
Confession
“ The sad irony of our day is that we can be deeply committed to being a
Christian but not deeply formed by Christ” Rich Villodas.
(Congregation joins in where text is bold)
O Lord, you are our shepherd,
and yet we sometimes live like sheep without a shepherd.
We lie down when we could act,
We stir the pot when we could offer peace,
We wander tempting paths instead of following you.
We seek courage and comfort in earthly things rather than in you.
We hate our enemies and refuse to break bread with them,
We see scarcity even when you offer us abundance.
Forgive us, we pray.
May we dwell with You forever. Amen.
Jesus says: 29 “Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
– Matt 11:29-30
Communion
We come together around this table of memories. It is not that we deserve to be here. This is not a right to be earned. This is not a reward to be achieved. This is a gift which can only be accepted from our forgiving and generous God.
We proclaim the mystery of our faith:
Christ was birthed among us.
Christ was killed among us.
Christ rises again among us.
It was at a table like this that Jesus shared His last meal with His followers.
We lift the bread as He did. We break it as He did. And we share it remembering His words:
“My body is broken for you. Eat and remember me.”
We also lift the cup as He did. And we share it remembering His words:
“My blood flows for you. Drink and remember me”.
“Go into all the world,” said Jesus;
We go to make His loving words heard.
“What you do for the least, you do for Me,” said Jesus;
We go to make His loving deeds seen.
“I will never drive away any who come to me,” said Jesus;
We go to make His loving invitation known.
May the love of God, the Three-in-One, fill our hearts and make us
one with God, and with all of God’s children,
And may we grow in that love now and always. Amen
CLOSING SONG
Let Us Be the Church
Father, in our hearts you’ve placed a prayer
for the mission of your kingdom everywhere,
to be doers of the word, to be a people of good
works that you’ve prepared.
The fruits of faith are pure and unstained:
to serve orphans and widows in their pain,
to keep ourselves from pride
and in trial and temptations to remain.
Pre-chorus
Let your kingdom come.
Let your will be done.
Let us be your hands and feet, Lord.
Let us serve as one.
Chorus 1
Let us be the church.
Let us take courage.
Let us see Christ in his people.
Let us bring your hope
by the power of the Spirit,
for the love of Jesus Christ.
Let us be the church-
Teach us how to love and how to live.
Teach us to show up when no one will
As children of your mercy
May the love of Christ in us be evident.
O may the love of Christ in us be evident.
Chorus 1
Bridge
Set us apart to be your servants in the world.
Set us apart, oh, Lord.
For we can see you in the faces that we serve.
Oh, we can see you, Lord.
Oh, we can see you, Lord.
Chorus 2
Let us be Your church.
Let us take courage.
May the world see Christ in his people.
Let us bring your peace
by the power of the Spirit,
for the love of Jesus Christ. (repeat)
Let us be the church-
Until the work is finished
And all will be made right
Let us be the church
Let us be the church
