Singing: Ancient of Days

Jesse Reeves, Jonny Robinson, Michael Farren, Rich Thompson

Verse 1
Though the nations rage
Kingdoms rise and fall
There is still one king
Reigning over all
So, I will not fear
For this truth remains
That my God is the
Ancient of Days

Chorus
None above him, none before him
All of time in his hands
For his throne it shall remain
And ever stand
All the power, all the glory
I will trust in his name
For my God is
The Ancient of Days

Verse 2
Though the dread of night
Overwhelms my soul
He is here with me, I am not alone
O, His love is sure
And he knows my name
For my God is the
Ancient of Days

Chorus
None above him, none before him
All of time in his hands
For his throne it shall remain
And ever stand
All the power, all the glory
I will trust in his name
For my God is
The Ancient of Days

Verse 3
Though I may not see
What the future brings
I will watch and wait
For the saviour king
Then, my joy complete
Standing face to face
In the presence of the
Ancient of Days

Chorus
None above him, none before him
All of time in his hands
For his throne it shall remain
And ever stand
All the power, all the glory
I will trust in his name
For my God is
The Ancient of Days

For my God is the
Ancient of Days

Prayer

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: Across The Lands

Keith Getty and Stuart Townend

Verse 1
You’re the word of God the Father
From before the world began
Ev’ry star and ev’ry planet
Has been fashioned by your hand
All creation holds together
By the power of your voice
Let the skies declare your glory
Let the land and seas rejoice

Chorus
You’re the author of creation
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man
And your cry of love rings out
Across the lands

Verse 2
Yet you left the gaze of angels
Came to seek and save the lost
And exchanged the joy of heaven
For the anguish of a cross
With a prayer you fed the hungry
With a word you stilled the sea
Yet how silently you suffered
That the guilty may go free

Chorus
You’re the author of creation
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man
And your cry of love rings out
Across the lands

Verse 3
With a shout you rose victorious
Wresting victory from the grave
And ascended into heaven
Leading captives in your wake
Now you stand before the Father
Interceding for your own
From each tribe and tongue and nation
You are leading sinners home

Chorus
You’re the author of creation
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man
And your cry of love rings out
Across the lands

Chorus
You’re the author of creation
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man
And your cry of love rings out
Across the lands
