SONG
Only a Holy God
[Verse 1]
Who else commands all the hosts of heaven
Who else could make every king bow down
Who else could whisper and darkness trembles
Only a Holy God
[Verse 2]
What other beauty demands such praises
What other splendor outshines the sun
What other majesty rules with justice
Only a Holy God
[Chorus]
Come and behold Him
The One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy
Forever a Holy God
Come and worship the Holy God
[Verse 3]
What other glory consumes like fire
What other power can raise the dead
What other name remains undefeated
Only a Holy God
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Who else could rescue me from my failing
Who else would offer His only Son
Who else invites me to call Him Father
Only a Holy God
Only my Holy God
[Chorus]
SONG
Lord I Need You
[Verse 1]
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here, I find my rest
Without You, I fall apart
You’re the One that guides my heart
[Chorus]
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
[Verse 2]
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are, oh where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
[Chorus]
Lord, I need You, oh, I need you
Every hour, I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
[Bridge]
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
When I cannot stand, I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay
[Chorus]
KINGDOM DANCE
SONG
Is He Worthy?
[Verse 1]
Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)
Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)
But do you know that all the dark won’t stop the light from getting through? (We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)
[Verse 2]
Is all creation groaning? (It is)
Is a new creation coming? (It is)
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)
[Chorus]
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
[Refrain 1]
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy of this?
He is
[Verse 3]
Does the Father truly love us? (He does)
Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)
And does Jesus, our Messiah hold forever those He loves? (He does)
Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)
[Chorus]
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
[Bridge]
From every people and tribe
Every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God
To reign with the Son
[Refrain 2]
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this?
He is!
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
He is!
He is!

SERMON
“The Lord’s Prayer: for Holiness”
6 “I have manifested your name to the people
whom you gave me out of the world.
Yours they were, and you gave them to me,
and they have kept your word.
7 Now they know that everything
that you have given me is from you.
8 For I have given them the words
that you gave me,
and they have received them
and have come to know in truth
that I came from you;
and they have believed that you sent me.
9 I am praying for them.
I am not praying for the world
but for those whom you have given me,
for they are yours.
10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine,
and I am glorified in them.
11 And I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world,
and I am coming to you.
Holy Father, keep them in your name,
which you have given me,
that they may be one, even as we are one.
12 While I was with them,
I kept them in your name,
which you have given me.
I have guarded them, and not one of them
has been lost except the son of destruction,
that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 But now I am coming to you,
and these things I speak in the world,
that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them your word,
and the world has hated them
because they are not of the world,
just as I am not of the world.
15 I do not ask that
you take them out of the world,
but that you keep them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world,
just as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them in the truth;
your word is truth.
18 As you sent me into the world,
so I have sent them into the world.
19 And for their sake I consecrate myself,
that they also may be sanctified in truth.
John 17:6-19 (ESV)
SONG
How Great Is Our God
[Verse 1]
The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the Earth rejoice
All the Earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light
and darkness tries to hide
and trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
[Chorus]
How great is our God
Sing with me, how great is our God
All will see how great
How great is our God
[Verse 2]
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End
The Godhead three in one
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
[Chorus]
BENEDICTION
Now may the God of peace himself
sanctify you completely,
and may your whole spirit and soul and body
be kept blameless at the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
