Singing: Come Praise And Glorify
Tim Chester and Bob Kauflin
Verse 1
Come praise and glorify our God
The Father of our Lord
In Christ he has in heav’nly realms
His blessings on us poured
For pure and blameless in his sight
He destined us to be
And now we’ve been adopted through
His Son eternally
Chorus
To the praise of your glory
To the praise of your mercy and grace
To the praise of your glory
You are the God who saves
Verse 2
Come praise and glorify our God
Who gives his grace in Christ
In him our sins are washed away
Redeemed through sacrifice
In him God has made known to us
The myst’ry of his will
That Christ should be the head of all
His purpose to fulfill
Chorus
To the praise of your glory
To the praise of your mercy and grace
To the praise of your glory
You are the God who saves
Verse 3
Come praise and glorify our God
For we’ve believed the word
And through our faith we have a seal
The Spirit of the Lord
The Spirit guarantees our hope
Until redemption’s done
Until we join in endless praise
To God the three in one
Chorus
To the praise of your glory
To the praise of your mercy and grace
To the praise of your glory
You are the God who saves
Chorus
To the praise of your glory
To the praise of your mercy and grace
To the praise of your glory
You are the God who saves

Sermon: Loving God (Preacher: Scott Howard)
Singing: Here Is Love
William Edwards, Robert S. Lowry, and William Rees
Verse 1
Here is love vast as the ocean
Loving kindness as the flood
When the prince of life our ransom
Shed for us his precious blood
Who his love will not remember
Who can cease to sing his praise
He will never be forgotten
Throughout heav’n’s eternal days
Verse 2
On the mount of crucifixion
Fountains opened deep and wide
Through the floodgates of God’s mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide
Grace and love like mighty rivers
Poured incessant from above
Heaven’s peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love
Verse 3
Let me all your love accepting
Love you ever all my days
Let me seek your kingdom only
And my life be to your praise
You alone shall be my glory
Nothing in the world I see
You have cleansed and sanctified me
Jesus, you have set me free
Tag
You alone shall be my glory
Nothing in the world I see
You have cleansed and sanctified me
Jesus, you have set me free

Singing: Consider Christ
Philip Percival and Bryson Smith
Verse 1
Consider Christ
The source of our salvation
That he should take the penalty for me
Though he was pure
A lamb without a blemish
He took my sins and nailed them to the tree
Chorus
My Lord and God
You are so rich in mercy
Mere words alone
Are not sufficient thanks
So take my life
Transform, renew and change me
That I might be a living sacrifice
Verse 2
Consider Christ
That he should trust his Father
In the garden of Gethsemane
Though full of dread
And fearful of the anguish
He drank the cup that was reserved for me
Chorus
My Lord and God
You are so rich in mercy
Mere words alone
Are not sufficient thanks
So take my life
Transform, renew and change me
That I might be a living sacrifice
Verse 3
Consider Christ
For death he has defeated
And he arose, appeared for all to see
And now he sits
At God’s right hand in heaven
Where he prepares a resting place for me
Chorus
My Lord and God
You are so rich in mercy
Mere words alone
Are not sufficient thanks
So take my life
Transform, renew and change me
That I might be a living sacrifice
