Singing: Jesus Shall Reign

John C. Hatton, Keith Getty

Verse 1
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does its successive journeys run
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till sun shall rise and set no more

Verse 2
Blessings abound where’er he reigns
The pris’ner leaps to lose his  chains
The weary find eternal rest
And all the sons of want are blessed

Chorus
To our king be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Jesus shall reign

Verse 3
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name

Chorus
To our king be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Jesus shall reign

Verse 4
Let every creature rise and bring
Blessing and honour to our king
Angels descend with songs again
And earth repeat the loud amen

Chorus
To our king be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Jesus shall reign

Chorus
To our king be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Jesus shall reign

Singing: Lord Have Mercy (For What We Have Done)

Aaron Keyes, James Tealy, Matt Boswell, Matt Papa

Verse 1
For what we have done and left undone
We fall on your countless mercies
For sins that are known and those unknown
We call on your name so holy
For envy and pride for closing our eyes
For scorning our very neighbour
In thought word and deed
Weve failed you our king
How deeply we need a saviour

Chorus
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on us

Verse 2
For what you have done your life of love
You perfectly lived we praise you
Though tempted and tried you fixed your eyes
You finished the work God gave you
And there on the tree a King among thieves
You bled for a worlds betrayal
You loved to the end our merciful friend
How pure and forever faithful

Chorus
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on us

Verse 3
For hearts that are cold for seizing control
For scorning our very Maker
In thought word and deed
Weve failed you our king
How deeply we need a saviour

Chorus
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on us

Chorus
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on us

Prayer for the Persecuted Church

Nicene Creed

WE BELIEVE in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

Singing: Jerusalem

Jonny Robinson and Rich Thompson

Verse 1
See him in Jerusalem
Walking where the crowds are
Once these streets had sung to him
Now they cry for murder
Such a frail and lonely man
Holding up the heavy cross
See him walking in Jerusalem
On the road to save us

Verse 2
See him there upon the hill
Hear the scorn and laughter
Silent as a lamb he waits
Praying to the Father
See the king who made the sun
And the moon and shining stars
Let the soldiers hold and nail him down
So that he could save them

Verse 3
See him there upon the cross
Now no longer breathing
Dust that formed the watching crowds
Takes the blood of Jesus
Feel the earth is shaking now
See the veil is split in two
And he stood before the wrath of God
Shielding sinners with his blood

Verse 4
See the empty tomb today
Death could not contain him
Once the servant of the world
Now in vict’ry reigning
Lift your voices to the one
Who is seated on the throne
See him in the new Jerusalem
Praise the one who saved us

Tag
Lift your voices to the one
Who is seated on the throne
See him in the new Jerusalem
Praise the one who saved us
Praise the one who saved us
