Pre-service Song
I Delight (Psalm 1)

Lord, You are a stream of purest water.
Blessing grows in beauty by Your side.
From the rising of the sun
Until the day is done,
In Your word, Oh Lord, I will abide.

I delight in You, I delight in You,
Like water You satisfy my soul.
I delight in You, I delight in You,
Oh, day and night, I delight in You.

Keep me from the counsel of the wicked.
Keep my eyes upon the ancient path.
The chaff will blow away,
And all the flowers fade,
But only You and Your word will last.

I delight in You, I delight in You,
Like water You satisfy my soul.
I delight in You, I delight in You,
Oh, day and night, I delight in You.

Lord, You know my heart is prone to wander.
Lord, You know my feet will go astray.
Though my flesh may fail,
Every sin was nailed to the cross.
Now I will sing,

I delight in You, I delight in You,
Like water You satisfy my soul.
I delight in You, I delight in You,
Oh, day and night, I delight in You.

I delight in You, I delight in You,
Like water You satisfy my soul.
I delight in You, I delight in You,
Oh, day and night, I delight in You.
Oh, day and night, I delight in You.

Call To Worship
We confess the supremacy of God in Christ through both responsive reading and song.

Our Spoken Call to Worship
Isaiah 55:1-3, 6-7 (ESV)

Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;
and he who has no money, come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.

Why do you spend your money
for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.

Incline your ear, and come to me;
hear, that your soul may live;
and I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
my steadfast, sure love for David.

Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the LORD,
that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Our Sung Call to Worship
Show Us Christ

Prepare our hearts, O God,
Help us to receive.
Break the hard and stony ground,
Help our unbelief.
Plant Your Word down deep in us,
Cause it to bear fruit,
Open up our ears to hear,
Lead us in Your truth.

Chorus:
Show us Christ, show us Christ,
O God, reveal Your glory
Through the preaching of Your Word
Until every heart confesses Christ is Lord.

Your Word is living Light
Upon our darkened eyes,
Guards us through temptations,
Makes the simple wise.
Your Word is food for famished ones,
Freedom for the slave,
Riches for the needy soul,
Come speak to us today. (Chorus)

Where else can we go, Lord,
Where else can we go?
You have the words of eternal life. (Repeat)

Show us Christ, show us Christ,
O God, reveal Your glory
Through the preaching of Your Word
Until every heart confesses Christ is Lord.

Confession
We confess our need for mercy through both responsive reading and song.

Our Spoken Confession
Psalm 51:1-4, 10-12 (ESV)

Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.

Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,.
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Time of silent confession.

Our Sung Confession
Have Mercy (Psalm 51)

Have mercy on me, O God.
Have mercy on me, O God.
I am calling on Your kindness
in accordance with Your love.
Have mercy on me, O God.

I know, God that I have sinned.
It’s you I have sinned against.
Would You blot out my transgressions?
Would you come now and forgive?
I know, God that I have sinned.

Oh, a broken, contrite heart You will not turn away.
Oh, Lord, open my lips that I might sing Your praise.

God wash me as white as snow,
and carry Your lost child home.
Come create in me a clean heart,
come and break this heart of stone.
God, wash me as white as snow.

Oh, a broken, contrite heart You will not turn away.
Oh, Lord, open my lips that I might sing Your praise.

Restore to me the joy of my salvation,
renew in me a willing heart,
and I will sing in praise of Your redemption,
and I will sing of Your mercy God. (Repeat)

Have mercy on me, O God.
Have mercy on me, O God.
I am calling on Your kindness
in accordance with Your love.
Have mercy on me, O God.

Assurance and Peace
We profess our assurance of salvation and peace in Christ through both responsive reading and song.

Remember the Gospel
John 3:16-18 (ESV)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish
but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Our Sung Profession of Assurance
Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)

One day when heaven was filled with His praises,
One day when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin,
Dwelt among men, my example is He.
The Word became flesh and the light shined among us.
His glory revealed.

Chorus 1
Living, He loved me, dying He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away.
Rising, He justified freely forever.
One day He’s coming, O glorious day.
O glorious day.

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain.
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree.
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected,
Bearing our sins my Redeemer is He.
The hands that healed nations stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me. (Chorus 1)

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone rolled away from the door.
Then He arose over death He had conquered.
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore.
Death could not hold Him,
The grave could not keep Him from rising again.

Chorus 2
Living, He loved me, dying He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away.
Rising, He justified freely forever.
One day He’s coming, O glorious day.
O glorious day. Glorious day.

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
One day the skies with His glories will shine.
Wonderful day my beloved one bringing.
My Savior Jesus is mine. (Chorus 2)

O, glorious day!

Scripture Reading
Psalm 19 (ESV)

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true,
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors?
Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and
the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

This is the word of the Lord.
The grass withers and the flower falls
but the word of the Lord endures forever.
