Call to Worship
Leader:
Come, all who are weary, all who feel unworthy, all who come burdened by sin and sorrow—hear the good news! Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, has cleansed us by His blood and has made us a kingdom of priests to serve our God.
All:
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength, honor and glory and praise!
Leader:
The heavens resound with worship, the elders fall before Him, the saints and angels lift their song. Come, let us kneel in awe before the King of kings, let us clap our hands in gladness, and let us shout for joy, for our God reigns!
All:
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!
Leader:
See, the dwelling place of God is with His people! He will wipe away every tear from our eyes. Behold, He is making all things new! So sing with full hearts and let your praises rise like incense before the throne.
All:
We will rejoice and be glad!
We will bow before the Lamb and give Him glory!
For He is our God, and we are His people, and we will worship Him forever and ever!
Worship Lyrics
Hosanna
I see the King of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes yeah
I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing
Hosanna hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
Be Enthroned
We’ve come to join the song
Sung long before our lives
To raise our voice along
Heaven and Earth alike
We’ve seen Your faithful hand
Your mercy without end
A king who bled and died
A God who sacrificed
Be enthroned upon the praises
of a thousand generations
You are worthy Lord of all
Unto You the slain and risen King
we lift our voice with Heaven
Singing worthy Lord of all
All through this life we lead
And on to eternity
Our endless praise will cry
Jesus be glorified
Jesus be glorified
Highest praises Lord of all
Highest praises Lord of all
Last time out of the bridge
Highest praises You are worthy Lord of all
Hosanna
Humble King
You chose the road that led to suffering
Nothing was spared to prove Your love for me
You're the mystery
That Your final breath became eternity
What we had lost forever You redeemed
Hosanna hosanna
In the highest forever
Hosanna hosanna
Hallelujah forever
Triumphant King
The Lamb who was slain who rose in majesty
There's never a heart beyond a victory
You are the one that we are welcoming
You are the one that we are welcoming
Blessed is He
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
Join now and sing Jesus is King
He reigns forevermore
How Good
Blessed are the poor and poor in spirit
For your kingdom’s theirs
Oh blessed are the grieving and the hurting
They’ll be comforted
Blessed are the outcast and unimportant
They’ll inherit the earth
Oh blessed are those who long for rightness
For they will be filled
The world’s ways are coming to an end
All other ways of being
Are still just sinking sand
Your Kingdom is at hand! Your Kingdom is at hand!
Your Kingdom is at hand! Your Kingdom is at hand!
Here and now in our city
We join in with how your moving
Your Kingdom is at hand!
Blessed are those who show mercy
They’ll be shown the same
Oh blessed are the pure in, pure in heart
They will see your face
Blessed are those who are peacemakers
They’ll be called your kids
Oh blessed are your kids who are persecuted
For your kingdom’s theirs
The old reign is coming to an end
All other ways of being are still just sinking sand
All other ways of being are still just sinking sand
He’s turning mourning into dancing
He’s changing sorrow into joy
He’s restoring what was taken
He’s uplifting all the poor
He’s welcoming the outcast
He is ending every war
He’s redeeming all creation
He’s dethroning the enthroned
Celebrate! Celebrate! King Jesus is here and everything will change
Celebrate! Celebrate!
His kingdom is near the old is giving way
The old is giving way!
How good it is!
How good it is to follow you!
Confession
Leader:
Merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
All:
Lord, have mercy.
Leader:
God, would you search me and know me.
Turn over the soil of my heart:
Test me, and bring to the light where I am out of alignment with you today
Silent Confession
All:
Lord, have mercy and forgive us
so that we may delight in your will
walk in your ways,
and bring glory to your holy name.
Pardon of Assurance
Leader:
And now, church,
hear the good news!
Christ died for us!
Christ rose for us!
Christ reigns in power for us!
Christ prays for us!
Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation.
The old life has gone; a new life has begun!
Believe the good news of the gospel:
In Jesus Christ you are forgiven.
All:
Thanks be to God!
Clean Hands, Pure Heart
The chambers of my heart long for you
That you the living God would come and dwell
And I will not hold back from giving you the praise you’re worthy of
I will not hold back from singing out, singing out
Lift up your heads, King of Glory enter in
Swing wide you gates, Prepare the way for him who comes
Who is this King of Glory, The Lord, the Mighty King of Glory
We have gathered here to meet with you
Spirit come and let your glory fall
We will not hold back from giving you the praise you’re worthy of
For you and you and alone deserve it all
Fear will not control me, You will have my praise
Shame no longer holds me, You will have my praise
Sin will not define me, You will have my praise
Addiction's not my story, You will have my praise
Clean hands and a pure heart God, You will have my praise
Resurrender
You’re turning over tables
And calling for return
To our lives upon the altar
The things we did at first
You’re clearing out the temple
You’re cleaning out the dirt
For we are Your territory
Lord we are Your Church
You see a holy nation
A flock to consecrate
A chosen generation
A people called to pray
So help us God to please You
Where only You can see
For every moment matters in eternity
We are Your people
You are our God
We are Your temple
Make us holy like You are
We are Your children
You’ve set us apart
God for Your glory
Make us holy like You are
Mark Your people with Your presence
Make us a place where You delight to dwell
May we heed Your hand’s correction
Oh Lord our Shepherd
You do all things well
Your love as firm as it is tender
Your law is perfect
And Your judgments true
As we run to resurrender
You will restore what we return to You
You are restoring as we yield anew
If You’re calling
We’re coming
We’re not walking
We’re running
God we need resurrender
So we resurrender
Hosanna
Humble King
You chose the road that led to suffering
Nothing was spared to prove Your love for me
You're the mystery
That Your final breath became eternity
What we had lost forever You redeemed
Hosanna hosanna
In the highest forever
Hosanna hosanna
Hallelujah forever
Triumphant King
The Lamb who was slain who rose in majesty
There's never a heart beyond a victory
You are the one that we are welcoming
You are the one that we are welcoming
Blessed is He
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
Join now and sing Jesus is King
He reigns forevermore
Prayer Song
Our Father in, the quiet place
From east to west, We seek Your face
As the day is dawning, Your will be won
Your kingdom coming, let Your will be done
Day by day, we intercede
You’ve called us to, love help those in need
for the lost and wandering, we will pray by name
Bring them home, their lives reclaim
You are quick to listen, you always hear
We’ll pour out our hearts, we have your ear
We will bow our heads, and we’ll lift our hands
We’ll call You, Yahweh
You are more than able, You love your kids
Before we ask, you know our needs
We will raise our voices, and bend our knees
We’ll call you, Yahweh, again and again
again and again
again and again
again and again
As the sun is setting, our thanks will rise
We know Your presence, You’ve been so kind
For all you’ve given and the things unseen
You’ve always answered our deepest need
When our prayer’s unanswered, when your voice seems far
Your Holy Spirit, groans with our hearts
Come pain and sorrow, we will seek your face
Praying Jesus, come help us pray
Praying Jesus, help us pray
Benediction:
People of God,
Jesus, the One who walks among His churches, has spoken.
He is the First and the Last, the One who died and is alive forevermore.
May you have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying.
May your hearts be steadfast, your hands strong for His work,
and your lives a witness until the day He makes all things new.
Now go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
