WONDERFUL, MERCIFUL SAVIOR
PSALM 46:1-3, 10-11
Leader: God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
All: Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
Leader: “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
All: The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
WONDERFUL, MERCIFUL SAVIOR
Wonderful, merciful Savior, precious Redeemer and Friend;
Who would have thought that a Lamb could rescue the souls of men?
Oh, you rescue the souls of men.
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper, Spirit we long to embrace;
You offer hope when our hearts have hopelessly lost the way,
Oh, we hopelessly lost the way.
Chorus: You are the One that we praise, you are the One we adore.
You give the healing and grace our hearts always hunger for,
Oh, our hearts always hunger for.
Almighty, infinite Father, faithfully loving your own;
Here in our weakness you find us, falling before your throne,
Oh, we’re falling before your throne. Chorus 2x

O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING
O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace.
My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad the honors of thy name.
Jesus, the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease;
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears, ‘tis life and health and peace.
He breaks the pow’r of reigning sin, he sets the pris’ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean, his blood availed for me.
His blood can make the foulest clean, his blood availed for me.

Great God and Father, there is no one more merciful than you, so we confidently come to you knowing that we will receive mercy and find grace in our time of need. We confess that instead of living with glad and generous hearts, we are filled with fear and selfishness. We confess that instead of loving truth and others, we embrace lies and division. Instead of moving toward people in need, we prioritize our own desires. O LORD, forgive our sins. By your Spirit, enable us to turn from them and to trust Jesus more. Amen.
MICAH 7:18-19
Leader: Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
He will again have compassion on us;
he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
All: You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.
Leader: Because Christ has taken our iniquity, we now have peace with God and with one another. May the peace of Christ be with you.
People: And also with you.

SPEAK, O LORD
Speak, O Lord, as we come to you to receive the food of your Holy Word.
Take your truth, plant it deep in us, shape and fashion us in your likeness;
That the light of Christ might be seen today in our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us all your purposes for your glory.
Teach us, Lord, full obedience, holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes in the radiance of your purity.
Cause our faith to rise, cause our eyes to see your majestic love and authority.
Words of pow’r that can never fail: let their truth prevail over unbelief.
Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds; help us grasp the heights of your plans for us;
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time that will echo down through eternity.
And by grace we’ll stand on your promises, and by faith we’ll walk as you walk with us.
Speak, O Lord, till your church is built and the earth is filled with your glory.

TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE
Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee,
Swift and beautiful for thee.
Take my voice, and let me sing, always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from thee,
Filled with messages from thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use ev’ry pow’r as thou shalt choose,
Ev’ry pow’r as thou shalt choose.
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.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour at thy feet its treasure-store.
Take my self, and I will be ever, only, all for thee,
Ever, only, all for thee, ever, only, all for thee.
