Call to Worship
Behold a new heaven and new earth
God is making all things new
Behold a new humanity in Christ
God is making all things new
Begone old, dark, and futile thoughts
God is making all things new
Begone deceitful powers of unbelieving
God is making all things new
Hallelujah
God is making all things new

Praise to the Lord the Almighty the King of creation
O my soul praise him for he is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration
Praise him in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord who over all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under his wings yea so gently sustaineth
Hast thou not seen all that is needful hath been
Granted in what he ordaineth
Granted in what he ordaineth
Praise to the Lord who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
Who with his love doth befriend thee
Who with his love doth befriend thee
Praise to the Lord O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath come now with praises before him
Let the amen sound from his people again
Gladly forever adore him
Gladly forever adore him
God of Our Life Through All the Circling Years
© Public Domain | Words by Hugh T. Kerr and Music by Charles H. Purday
God of our life, through all the circling years,
We trust in thee.
In all the past through all our hopes and fears,
Thy hand we see.
With each day when morning lifts the veil,
We own thy mercies, Lord, which never fail
God of the past, our times are in thy hand,
With us abide.
Lead us by faith to hope’s true promised land,
Be thou our guide.
With thee to bless the darkness shines as light
And faith’s fair vision changes into sight
God of the coming years through paths unknown
We follow thee.
When we are strong, Lord, leave us not alone,
Our refuge be.
Be thou for us in life our daily bread,
Our heart’s true home when all our years have sped.
Be thou for us in life our daily bread,
Our heart’s true home when all our years have sped.

I bind unto myself today
The gift to call on the Trinity
The saving faith where I can say
Come Three in One, O One in Three
Be above me, as high as the noonday sun
Be below me, the Rock I set my feet upon
Be beside me, the wind on my left and right
Be behind me, oh circle me with your truth and light
La da da da da da da da (repeat)
I bind unto myself today
The love of angels and seraphim
The prayers and prophesies of saints
The words and deeds of righteous men
Be above me, as high as the noonday sun
Be below me, the Rock I set my feet upon
Be beside me, the wind on my left and right
Be behind me, oh circle me with your truth and light
God’s ear to hear me
God’s hand to guide me
God’s might to uphold me
God’s shield to hide me
Against all powers deceiving
Against my own unbelieving
Whether near or far
I bind unto myself today
The hope to rise from the dust of earth
The songs of nature giving praise
To Father, Spirit, Living Word
Be above me, as high as the noonday sun
Be below me, the Rock I set my feet upon
Be beside me, the wind on my left and right
Be behind me, O circle me with your truth and light
La da da da da da da da (repeat)
I bind unto myself today
The gift to call on the Trinity
Prayers of the People
Diane StintonSpeak O Lord
© 2005 Words and Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
Speak O Lord as we come to you
To receive the food of your holy word
Take your truth plant it deep in us
Shape and fashion us in your likeness
That the light of Christ
Might be seen today
In our acts of love
And deeds of faith
Speak O Lord and fulfill in us
All your purposes for your glory
Teach us Lord full obedience
Holy reverence true humility
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of your purity
Cause our faith to rise
Cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority
Words of power that can never fail
Let their truth prevail over unbelief
Speak O Lord and renew our minds
Help us grasp the heights
Of your plans for us
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity
And by grace we’ll stand
On your promises
And by faith we’ll walk
As you walk with us
Speak O Lord till your church is built
And the earth is filled with your glory
Scriputure | Eph. 4:17-24 | Col. 3:9-11 (NRSVCE)
17 Now this I affirm and insist on in the Lord: you must no longer live
as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds.
18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life
of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart.
19 They have lost all sensitivity and have abandoned themselves to
licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.
20 That is not the way you learned Christ!
21 For surely you have heard about him and were taught in him, as
truth is in Jesus.
22 You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self
[humanity], corrupt and deluded by its lusts,
23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
24 and to clothe yourselves with the new self [humanity], created
according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
...
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old
self [humanity] with its practices
10 and have clothed yourselves with the new self [humanity], which
is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its
creator.
11 In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and
uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all
and in all!
