Hymn of Praise
O Worship the King, #73, v. 1, 2, 5
O worship the King,
all glorious above,
O gratefully sing God’s power
and God’s love;
Our Shield and Defender,
the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor,
and girded with praise
.
O tell of God’s might,
O sing of God’s grace,
whose robe is the light,
whose canopy space,
Whose chariots of wrath
the deep thunder clouds form,
And dark is God’s path
on the wings of the storm.
Frail children of dust,
and feeble as frail,
in thee do we trust,
nor find thee to fail;
thy mercies how tender,
how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender,
Redeemer, and Friend.

Prayer of Confession
Eternal God, we are thankful for your abiding presence in our lives. You, who know us and love us unconditionally, will stop at no length to remind us how you’re near. Lord, we confess our plans, agendas and situations often blind us to your presence.
Forgive us, Lord. Open our eyes to see both your will and your ways for living out your calling. Open our hearts to be awed by your glory.
Deliver us from fear such that your Spirit guides us in extending Christ’s mercy and grace to our neighbors near and far. Amen.

This is Holy ground
We’re standing on Holy ground
For the Lord is present
And where he is, is Holy

We are standing on Holy ground
And I know that there are angels all around
Let us praise….. Jesus now
We are standing in his presence on
Holy ground

Hymn
Give to the Winds Thy Fears #129 v. 1, 2, 3
Give to the winds thy fears,
hope and be undismayed.
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.
Through waves and clouds and storms,
God gently clears thy way;
Wait thou God’s time;
so shall this night soon end
in joyous day.
Leave to God’s sovereign sway
to choose and to command;
so shalt thou, wondering, own that way,
how wise, how strong this hand.
