Call to Worship - Psalm 43
Hymn - “In Christ Alone”
Verse 1
In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I've been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I overcome
Oh I could stop and count successes
Like diamonds in my hand
But those trophies could not equal
To the grace by which I stand
Chorus
In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In ev'ry victory let it be said of me
My source of strength my source of hope
Is Christ alone
Verse 2
In Christ alone will I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
Only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
Now I seek no greater honor
Than just to know Him more
And to count my gains but losses
To the glory of my Lord
Ending
My source of strength my source of hope
Is Christ alone

Hymn - #553 “Nearer My God to Thee”
Verse 1
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me
Still all my song shall be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Verse 2
Though like the wanderer
The sun gone down
Darkness be over me
My rest a stone
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Verse 3
There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given
Angles beckon me
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Verse 4
Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise
So by my woes to be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Verse 5
Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky
Sun moon and stars forgot
Upwards I fly
Still all my song shall be
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee

Meditation
Hymn of Invitation - #302 “Lamb of God”
Chorus
O Lamb of God sweet Lamb of God
I love the holy Lamb of God
O wash me in His precious blood
My Jesus Christ the Lamb of God
Verse 1
Your only Son no sin to hide
But You have sent Him from Your side
To walk upon this guilty sod
And to become the Lamb of God
Verse 2
Your gift of love they crucified
They laughed and scorned Him as He died
The humble King they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God
Verse 3
I was so lost I should have died
But You have brought me to Your side
To be led by Your staff and rod
And to be called the Lamb of God
