Let’s Sing Together!
Called Me Higher
I could just sit
I could just sit and wait
for all Your goodness
Hope to feel Your presence
And I could just stay
I could just stay right where
I am and hope to feel You
Hope to feel something again
And I could hold on
I could hold on to who I am and never let You Change
me from the inside
And I could be safe, oh
I could be safe here in Your arms and never leave home Never
let these walls down
You have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I’ll go where
You will lead me Lord
You have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I’ll go where You lead me Lord
Where You lead me
Where You lead me Lord
And I will be Yours, oh
I will be Yours for all my life
And I will be Yours, oh
I will be Yours for all my life
And I will be Yours, oh
I will be Yours for all my life
So let Your mercy
Oh, and I will be Yours, Lord
And I will be Yours for all my life
So let Your mercy light the path before me
Abide With Me
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see—
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour;
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;
Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
Hosanna
I see the King of Glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We’re on our knees, we’re on our knees
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things
Unseen
Show me how to love like You
Have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom’s cause
As I walk from Earth into Eternity
Prayer
KIDS: Use the 5 Finger Prayer.
Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father,
you have brought me in safety to this new day:
Preserve me with your mighty power,
that I may not fall into sin,
nor be overcome by adversity;
And in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose;
through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
Scripture Reading – Psalm 118
(speak aloud your prayers to the God who is with you and hears you)
And now let us pray together the prayer Jesus taught his disciples to pray:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever.
Amen.
Offering
Perhaps as your offering you could take some time to make a list of things you are grateful for today.
Reflections from Mark on John 12:12-19
Closing Blessing from Philippians 2
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
