LORD, I NEED YOU
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.
REJOICE, THE LORD IS KING
Rejoice, the Lord is King: your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing, and triumph ever more.
Refrain: Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice, rejoice! Rejoice, rejoice!
Jesus the Savior reigns, the God of truth and love;
When He had purged our stains, he took his seat above. Refrain
His kingdom cannot fail, he rules o’er earth and heav’n;
The keys of death and hell are to our Jesus giv’n. Refrain
Rejoice in glorious hope! Our Lord and Judge shall come,
And take his servants up to their eternal home. Refrain
GLORIOUS AND MIGHTY
Majesty, your glory is shining brighter than the moon and the stars.
Marveling, we honor and fear you above all gods.
Chorus: Glorious and mighty, you’re awesome in beauty. Joyful songs we raise.
Glorious and mighty, you’re awesome in beauty, greatly to be praised.
Majesty, you fashioned the heavens; your decrees can never be changed.
Over all the plans of the nations your judgments reign. Chorus
Majesty, we’ll sing with creation when you come again in the clouds.
Every knee will bow down and worship the one true God. Chorus
You are greatly to be praised. You are greatly to be praised.
Most 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. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry, and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
From the Book of Common Prayer
ISAIAH 51:6
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and they who dwell in it will die in like manner; but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will never be dismayed.
Leader: Because Christ is our righteousness and his salvation is forever, we now
have peace with God and with one another. May the peace of Christ be
with you.
People: And also with you.

PORTRAIT OF PRAISE
Chancel Choir, 9am & 10:45am
I will sing a song of praise to God for he has given my heart a new song.
But may all who seek him rejoice and be glad.
May those who love thy salvation shout, “Great is the Lord! Great is the Lord!”
I waited patiently for God. He turned to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the desolate pit, up from the miry bog,
And set my feet on a rock of salvation.
I will sing a song of praise to God for he has given my heart a new song.
HE WILL HOLD ME FAST
5:15pm
When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail, he will hold me fast;
I could never keep my hold through life’s fearful path;
For my love is often cold; he must hold me fast.
Chorus: He will hold me fast, he will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so, he will hold me fast.
Those he saves are his delight, Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in his holy sight, he will hold me fast;
He’ll not let my soul be lost; his promises shall last;
Bought by him at such a cost, he will hold me fast. Chorus
For my life he bled and died, Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied; he will hold me fast;
Raised with him to endless life, he will hold me fast,
‘Til our faith is turned to sight, when he comes at last. Chorus 2x
MARK 13:1-37 (CHURCH BIBLE P. 849)
Leader: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God!
LORD, I NEED YOU
Lord, I come, I confess, bowing here I find my rest.
And without you I fall apart, you’re the one that guides my heart.
Chorus: Lord, I need you, oh, I need you. Ev’ry hour I need you.
My one defense, my righteousness, oh God, how I need you.
Where sin runs deep your grace is more. Where grace is found is where you are.
And where you are, Lord, I am free; holiness is Christ in me.
Yes, where you are, Lord, I am free; holiness is Christ in me.
Chorus
Teach my song to rise to you when temptation comes my way.
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on you. Jesus, you’re my hope and stay.
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on you. Jesus, you’re my hope and stay.
Chorus 2x
My one defense, my righteousness, oh God, how I need you.
FOLLOW THE KING
23. The King’s Return
O CHURCH, ARISE
O church, arise, and put your armor on; hear the call of Christ our Captain.
For now the weak can say that they are strong in the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth, we’ll stand against the devil’s lies;
An army bold, whose battle cry is love, reaching out to those in darkness.
Our call to war, to love the captive soul, but to rage against the captor;
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole, we will fight with faith and valor.
When faced with trials on ev’ry side, we know the outcome is secure.
And Christ will have the prize for which he died, and inheritance of nations.
Come see the cross, where love and mercy meet, as the Son of God is stricken;
Then see his foes lie crushed beneath his feet, for the Conqueror has risen!
And as the stone is rolled away and Christ emerges from the grave,
This vict’ry march continues ‘til the day ev’ry eye and heart shall see him.
So Spirit, come, put strength in ev’ry stride, give grace for ev’ry hurdle;
That we may run with faith to win the prize of a servant, good and faithful.
As saints of old still line the way, retelling triumphs of his grace,
We hear their calls, and hunger for the day when, with Christ, we stand in glory!
1 THESSALONIANS 5:23-24
Leader: Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may
your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
Amen.
All: Amen. Thanks be to God. Alleluia!
