Call to Worship
Daniel 6:26b-27a
for He is the living God,
enduring forever;
his kingdom shall never be destroyed,
and his dominion shall be to the end.
He delivers and rescues;
he works signs and wonders
in heaven and on earth
All the Earth
[Verse 1]
From the rising of the sun
To the ending of the day
One name alone be praised
Every nation tribe and tongue
All creation lifting up
Your name alone we raise
[Chorus]
Praise the Lord
All the earth, all the earth
Bless His name
Only one name, now and always
[Verse 2]
Jesus, You have rescued us
You are good and You are just
One name alone be praised
From the heights and from the depths
In every heart with every breath
Your name alone we raise
[Chorus]
Praise the Lord
All the earth, all the earth
Bless His name
Only one name, now and always
Praise the Lord
All the earth, all the earth
Bless His name
Only one name, now and always
[Bridge]
Every sky is filled with wonder
All creation lifting higher
The only King who reigns forever
Who is like our God, Who is like our God
Every sky is filled with wonder
All creation lifting higher
The only King who reigns forever
Who is like our God, Who is like our God
[Chorus]
Praise the Lord
All the earth, all the earth
Bless His name
Only one name, now and always
[Outro]
Praise the Lord
All the earth, all the earth
Bless His name
Only one name, now and always
Bless His name
Only one name, now and always
Save My Soul
In my shame, in my despair
When my soul had been laid bare
I cried out, where’s my rescue, oh my Lord
In my fault, in my prayer
It was you who met me there
You cried out, it is finished, be restored
My guilt for your righteousness
Your life for my sinfulness
This debt who could dare console
Christ who died to save my soul
In my wrong, in my flesh
I was cursed but now I’m blessed
Jesus Christ, in his kindness, I’m adored
In my pain, in my stress
He’s my rock and He’s my rest
Jesus Christ, my defender, my reward
My guilt for your righteousness
Your life for my sinfulness
This debt who could dare console
Christ who died to save my soul
My guilt for your righteousness
Your life for my sinfulness
This debt who could dare console
Christ who died to save my soul
In my shame, in my despair
When my soul had been laid bare
You cried out, it is finished, be restored
Scripture Reading — Ephesians 4:17-32
The New Life
17 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. 19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. 26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil. 28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Take My Life and Let it Be
Verse 1
Take my life and let it be, consecrated, Lord, to Thee
Take my hands and let them move, at the impulse of Thy love
At the impulse of Thy love
Verse 2
Take my feet and let them be, swift and beautiful for Thee
Take my voice and let me sing, always, only, for my King
Always, only, for my King
Verse 3
Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold,
Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise
Let them flow in ceaseless praise
Verse 4
Take my will and make it Thine, it shall be no longer mine
Take my heart it is Thine own, it shall be Thy royal throne
It shall be Thy royal throne
Tag
Take my heart it is Thine own, it shall be Thy royal throne
It shall be Thy royal throne
