Call to Worship: From Isaiah 40:28
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
The Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Song: “How Deep” – CCLI# 4803944
You were broken that I might be healed,
You were cast off that I might draw near
You were thirsty that I might come drink
Cried out in anguish that I might sing
CHORUS:
How deep is Your love, how high and how wide is your Mercy
How deep is Your grace, our hearts overflow with praise to you
You knew darkness that I might know light
Wept great tears that mine might be dried
Stripped of glory that I might be clothed
Crushed by Your Father to call me Your own
