Call to Worship
In Christ Alone
©2001 Keith Getty & Stuart Townend
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again
And as he stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am his and he is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
Till he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
Jesus Lover Of MY Soul

Jesus lover of my soul
All consuming fire is in Your gaze
Jesus I want You to know
I will follow You all my days
For no one else in history is like You
And history itself belongs to You
Alpha and Omega You have loved me
And I will share eternity with You
It's all about You Jesus
And all this is for You
For Your glory and Your fame
It's not about me
As if You should do things my way
You alone are God
And I surrender to Your ways
Prayers of the People and Scripture Reading |Ephesians 3:14-21 (NIV)
14 For this reason [we] kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
Lord we thank you for the power of your gospel to unite us. Make us instruments of your peace and reconciliation. From our global conflicts to our personal strife, create peace in us and among us through your gospel of peace.
16 [We] pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen [us] with power through his Spirit in [our] inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in [our] hearts through faith.
Lord we pray that we might be known as a community where Christ dwells. Ready our hearts now to receive Christ by faith. Strengthen us with power through your Spirit to live out your call on each of our lives. Together, help us demonstrate your manifold wisdom to the powers of the age by the diversity of the families and cultures among us.
18 [Being rooted and established in love together with all the Lord’s holy people, we] pray for the power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that [we] may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Lord, show us the maturity and fulness of life that is our birthright as your people. Give us power to grasp your love and the humility to receive your love together with all your people. Cover the width and length and height and depths of our sins and hurts, by the still greater dimensions of your love.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
Lord, increase the powers of our imagination according to the power of your resurrection so that we might pray more boldly, live more faithfully, and act more justly as witnesses of your new creation.
21 To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
God, be glorified this day and always - in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

All Glory Be to Christ

Should nothing of our efforts stand
No legacy survive?
Unless the Lord does raise the house
In vain its builders strive
To you who boast tomorrow’s gain
Tell me what is your life?
A mist that vanishes at dawn
All glory be to Christ!
All glory be to Christ our King!
All glory be to Christ!
His rule and reign we'll ever sing,
All glory be to Christ!
His will be done His kingdom come
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread
Praise Him the Lord of love
Let living water satisfy
The thirsty without price
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
All glory be to Christ!
Through all our days the great I Am
The Faithful and the True
The Lamb who was for sinners slain
Is making all things new
Behold our God shall live with us
And be our steadfast light
And we shall e'er His people be
All glory be to Christ!
All glory be to Christ our King!
All glory be to Christ!
His rule and reign we'll ever sing,
All glory be to Christ!
