Be Still, My SoulBe still, my soul; the Lord is on your sideBear patiently the cross of grief or painLeave to your God to order and provideIn ev’ry change he faithful will remain
Be still, my soul; your best, your Heav’nly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end
Be still, my soul; your God will undertakeTo guide the future as He has the past
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shakeAll now mysterious shall be bright at last
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below
Be still, my soul; the hour is hast’ning onWhen we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restoredBe still, my soul; when change and tears
are pastAll safe and blessed we shall meet at last
Hebrews 11:6And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw
near to Godmust believe that he exists
and that he rewards those who seek him.
From Psalm 37Leader:
Fret not yourself because of evildoers;be not envious of wrongdoers!
For they will soon fade like the grassand wither like the green herb.
Church:Trust in the LORD, and do good;dwell in the land and befriend
faithfulness.Delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Leader:Be still before the LORD and wait
patiently for him;fret not yourself over the one who
prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
ForevermoreThere is no one who is like You,
You stand alone as God;All the earth will bow before You,
They’ll see You as You are;And Your people sing
Heroes tremble in Your presence,Kings forget their crowns;
Mountains shudder at Your whisper,Nations fall face down;And Your people sing,
Jesus You are LordYou reign forevermore;
Jesus You are Lord, You reign,You reign, You reign, You reign…

it.”

Here Is LoveHere is love vast as the oceanLoving kindness as the flood
When the Prince of life, our ransomShed for us His precious blood
Who His love will not remember?Who can cease to sing His praise?
He will never be forgottenThroughout heaven's eternal days
On the mount of crucifixionFountains opened deep and wide
Through the floodgates of God's mercyFlowed a vast and gracious tide
Grace and love like mighty riversPoured incessant from above
Heaven's peace and perfect justiceKissed a guilty world in love
On the third day He was risenConquered death, escaped the grave
And through this, His resurrectionUnto us new life He gave
Who His love will not remember?Who can cease to sing His praise?
He will never be forgottenThroughout heaven's eternal days

Eternal God, our Father,We are so grateful that our forgiveness,
our salvation, our justification, our reconciliation is not grounded on what
we do for you, but what you did for us in the Person and Work of Your beloved
Son.
He is our Righteous, our Holiness, our Life. We glory in the finished work of
Jesus applied to us by your Holy Spirit. We have neglected the clear incentives
to live sacrificial lives in this age. We are for the most part living for this age and not the next. This is foolish, sinful, and
shortsighted.
But the gospel has freed us to heed the voice of our loving Master: “Sell your possessions, and give to the needy.
Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no
thief approaches and no moth destroys.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. You are our treasure
Lord. By your grace we now let go of what we cannot keep to gain what we
will never lose.
Revelation 1:5-6To him who loves us and has freed us
from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever
and ever.
I believe in God the Father, Almighty,Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ,His only begotten Son, our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of the virgin Mary;
suffered under Pontius Pilate;was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell;the third day He rose again from the
dead;He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of Godthe Father Almighty;
from there He will come to judgethe living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic Church,the communion of saints;the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;and the life everlasting.
There Is a FountainThere is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And
sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains; And sinners plunged
beneath that floodLose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day, And there may I,
though vile as he,Wash all my sins away: Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my
sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious bloodShall never lose it's pow'r,
Till all the ransomed Church of GodBe saved to sin no more:
Be saved to sin no more, be saved to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed Church of GodBe saved to sin no more.
E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love
has been my theme and shall be till I die: And shall be till I die, and shall be till I
die; Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die.
When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy pow'r to save:
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save, I'll sing Thy pow'r to save; Then in a nobler, sweeter
song, I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.

Down to the Sacred WaveDown to the sacred wave,The Lord of life was led;
And He who came our souls to saveIn Jordan bowed His head.
He taught the solemn way;He fixed the holy rite;
He bade His ransomed ones obey,And keep the path of light.
Blest Savior, we will treadIn Thy appointed way;
Let glory o’er these scenes be shedAnd smile on us today.

Benediction of AaronThe Lord bless you and keep you

you.And give you peace.
