Prelude

Call to Worship

Gathering Songs

Lord Most High

From the ends of the earth,

From the depths of the sea

From the heights of the heavens,

Your name be praised

From the hearts of the weak,

From the shouts of the strong

From the lips of all people,

This song we raise, Lord

Throughout the endless ages,

You will be crowned with praises,

Lord most High

Exalted in every nation

Sovereign of all Creation,

Lord most High, be magnified (Repeat from beginning)

Tag: Be magnified

Corporate Prayer of Confession

Gracious Father, we are often guilty of loving your gifts while rejecting you. We love the benefits of belonging to you, yet we do not cherish you or our relationship with you. We rebel against you openly and angrily, breaking your laws and running far from you. At other times, we rebel against you by keeping your laws, as if we could purchase your favor, love, and generosity through our obedience. God, be merciful to us. We are lost sinners that love ourselves far more than we love you. Forgive us. Humble us. Melt our proud, cold, self-righteous hearts. When we wander and rebel, draw us back to you to marvel at your undying patience, grace, and love. Reveal our brokenness that we might repent and turn to you, and comfort our hearts when they are shattered by the weight of our many failings. Fill us with gratitude and love because of your grace and mercy shown to us through Jesus. Amen

Private Confession

Words of Encouragement

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and gave me joy. Psalm 30: 5,11

Suffered and crucified, forgiveness is in You.

You rose in glorious life, forever seated high. Chorus
