Song
“Oh For a Thousand Tongues”
Carl Gotthelf Glaser, Jack Parker, David Crowder

O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer’s praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!

My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread thro’ all the earth abroad
the honors of your name.

So come on and sing out, let our anthems grow loud,
There is one great God,
So come on and sing out, let our anthems grow loud,
There is one great God, Jesus

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease,
’tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’tis life and health and peace.

He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free

His blood can make the foulest clean, his blood availed for me

So come on and sing out, let our anthems grow loud,
There is one great God,
So come on and sing out, let our anthems grow loud,
There is one great God, Jesus

He speaks and listening to his voice new life the dead receive,
The mournful broken hearts rejoice, the humble poor believe

Glory to God and praise and love be ever ever given
By saints below and saints above the church in earth and heaven

So come on and sing out, let our anthems grow loud,
There is one great God,
So come on and sing out, let our anthems grow loud,
There is one great God, Jesus

There are so few words that never grow old,
There are so few words that never grow old,
There are so few words that never grow old, Jesus

So come on and sing out, let our anthems grow loud,
There is one great God,
So come on and sing out, let our anthems grow loud,
There is one great God, Jesus

Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who are in heaven, hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation; but deliver use rom evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Response to the Word/Song
“Set a Fire”
Will Reagan

No place I would rather be 
No place I would rather be
No place I would rather be
Then here in Your love, here in Your love

No place I would rather be
No place I would rather be
No place I would rather be
Then here in Your love, here in Your love

Set a fire down in my soul
That I can’t contain and I can’t control
I want more of You God, I want more of You God
Set a fire down in my soul
That I can’t contain and I can’t control
I want more of You God

No place I would rather be
No place I would rather be
No place I would rather be
Then here in Your love, here in Your love

Set a fire down in my soul
That I can’t contain and I can’t control
I want more of You God, I want more of You God
Set a fire down in my soul
That I can’t contain and I can’t control
I want more of You God

I want more, I want more, I want more, I want more, I want more, I want more
Won’t You pour it out?
I want more, I want more, I want more, I want more, I want more, I want more
Won’t You pour it out?

Set a fire down in my soul
That I can’t contain and I can’t control
I want more of You God, I want more of You God
Set a fire down in my soul
That I can’t contain and I can’t control
I want more of You God

Song
“Holy Is the Lord”
Chris Tomlin

We stand and lift up our hands, for the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship Him now, how great, how awesome is He
And together we sing

(Chorus) Holy is the Lord, God Almighty, the earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord, God Almighty, the earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory

We stand and lift up our hands, for the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship Him now, how great, how awesome is He

And together we sing, and everyone sing

(Chorus)

Yeah, it’s rising up all around, it’s the anthem of the Lord’s renown
It’s rising up all around, it’s the anthem of the Lord’s renown

Together we sing, and everyone sing

(Chorus)

Opening Hymn

“Take My Life, and Let It Be”

1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless praise.

2 Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee,
swift and beautiful for thee.

3 Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,
every power as thou shalt choose.

5 Take my will and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
it shall be thy royal throne.

6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,
ever, only, all for thee.

Affirmation of Faith

We believe in a loving God,
who is life’s breath for all of earth’s creatures,
who is the ground in which our lives flourish,
who is the mystery toward which we are drawn.

We believe in the risen Christ,
whose life is the way we see God made real,
whose death bears witness to the power of love,
whose presence nourishes our spirits each day.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,
who flows as a refreshing spring of life,
who comes as divine fire to energize the faithful,
who creates communities of joy and justice.

Closing Hymn

“Here I Am, Lord”

I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save
I who made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord
If You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart

I, the Lord of wind and flame
I will tend the poor and lame
I will set a feast for them
My hand will save
Finest bread I will provide
‘Til their hearts be satisfied
I will give my life to them
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord
If You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart
I will hold Your people in my heart
