Call to Worship from Psalm 63:1-8 [PLEASE STAND] Mr Darren Huang Leader O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for
you, as in a dry and weary land where no water is. People So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and
glory. Leader Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. People So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your
name. Leader My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat, and my mouth praises you with
joyful lips, People when I think of you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches
of the night; Leader for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy. ALL My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. Amen.
