Faithful One, so unchanging, MP 825
Ageless One, You're my Rock of peace.
Lord of all, I depend on You,
I call out to You, again and again,
I call out to You, again and again.
You are my Rock in times of trouble,
You lift me up when I fall down.
All through the storm, Your love is the anchor,
My hope is in You alone.
Call to worship Psalm 86.11-13 (p.596)
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father, MP 200
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided –
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Prayer of approach to God
Together Time Giving thanks
If I were a butterfly, JP 94
I'd thank You Lord for giving me wings
If I were a robin in a tree,
I'd thank You Lord that I could sing
If I were a fish in the sea,
I'd wiggle my tail and I'd giggle with glee
But I just thank You Father for making me “me”!
For You gave me a heart and You gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and You made me Your child
And I just thank You Father for making me “me”!
If I were an elephant,
I'd thank You Lord by raising my trunk
If I were a kangaroo,
You know I'd hop right up to You
If I were an octopus,
I'd thank You Lord for my fine looks
But I just thank You Father for making me “me”!
If I were a wiggly worm,
I'd thank You Lord that I could squirm
If I were a fuzzy wuzzy bear,
I'd thank You Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair
If I were a crocodile,
I'd thank You Lord for my great smile
But I just thank You Father
for making me “me”!
Bible Reading 2 Corinthians 8.1-15 (p.1162)
Lord, You were rich beyond all splendour, CH4 318
Yet, for love's sake, became so poor;
Leaving Your throne in glad surrender,
Sapphire-paved courts for stable floor:
Lord, You were rich beyond all splendour,
Yet, for love's sake, became so poor.
You are our God beyond all praising,
Yet, for love's sake, became a man
Stooping so low, but sinners raising
Heavenwards, by Your eternal plan:
You are our God beyond all praising,
Yet, for love's sake, became a man.
Lord, You are love beyond all telling,
Saviour and King, we worship You;
Emmanuel, within us dwelling,
Make us and keep us pure and true:
Lord, You are love beyond all telling,
Saviour and King, we worship You.
Sermon
I will offer up my life in spirit and truth, MP 990
Pouring out the oil of love, as my worship to You.
In surrender I must give my every part
Lord, receive the sacrifice of a broken heart.
Jesus, what can I give, what can I bring
To so faithful a Friend, to so loving a King?
Saviour, what can be said, what can be sung
As a praise of Your name for the things You have done?
Oh, my words could not tell, not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed by this thankful heart.
You deserve my every breath, for You've paid the great cost
Giving up your life to death, even death on a cross
You took all my shame away, there defeated my sin
Opened up the gates of heaven and have beckoned me in.
Prayer of thanksgiving and intercession
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart MP 51
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my Battle-shield, Sword for the fight
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
Blessing
