PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray.
Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.
James 5:13
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Psalm 100:1-2
David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites
to appoint their brothers as the singers
who should play loudly on musical instruments,
on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.
1 Chronicles 15:16
For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Isaiah 55:12
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them…
Acts 16:25
The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

Day for Singing
[Verse 1]
Mercy, rising with the rising of the sun
Goodness, rushing in and filling up my lungs
Your faithfulness is here and now
The evidence, is all around
[Chorus]
I bless your name
I give you praise
Today is a day for singing
Awake my soul
Come on, praise the Lord
Today is a day for singing
Oh my soul, praise the Lord
Oh my soul, Today is a day for singing
[Verse 2]
A new song is welling up from deep inside of me
There’s new life, hallelujah, I have been redeemed
I have been redeeemed
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
From thе valley to the mountain
The desert to the fountain
Oh I will praise you
From the morning to the evening
As long as I am breathing
Today is a day for singing
[Chorus]
Build My Life
[Verse 1]
Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You
Jesus, the Name above every other name
Jesus, the only One who could ever save
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You
Oh, we live for You
[Chorus]
Holy, there is no one like You
There is none beside You
Open up my eyes in wonder
And show me who You are
And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me
[Verse 1]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
And I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken
SCRIPTURE READING
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
And walk in love,
as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us,
a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God…
Look carefully then how you walk,
not as unwise but as wise,
making the best use of the time,
because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be foolish,
but understand what the will of the Lord is.
And do not get drunk with wine,
for that is debauchery,
but be filled with the Spirit,
addressing one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,
giving thanks always and for everything to God
the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Eph.5:1-2,15-21
SONG
Place of Freedom
[Verse 1]
There’s a calm that covers me
When I kneel down at Your feet
It’s a place of healing
It’s a place where I find freedom
There’s a place my eyes can’t see
Where my spirit longs to be
It’s a place of healing
It’s a place I live in freedom
[Chorus]
I’m gonna lift my hands ’til I can reach heaven
I’m gonna shout Your name
’til the walls come falling down
I’ve come to worship, I’ve come to worship
[Verse 2]
There’s a love that lives in me
For You, Lord, my Savior King
Who breaks the sin that’s binding
And leads me to a place of freedom
[Chorus]
I’m gonna lift my hands ’til I can reach heaven
I’m gonna shout Your name ’til the walls come falling down
I’ve come to worship, I’ve come to worship
I’m gonna sing my song like I am unashamed
I’m gonna shout for joy at the mention of Your name
I’ve come to worship, I’ve come to worship
[Bridge]
There’s no one that can bring me peace
That can wash me clean like You, Lord
There’s nothing in this world that can free me
You saved my soul
[Chorus]

SERMON
“Psalms: Singing”
Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering, and come into his courts!
9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth!
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.”
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
12 let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
13 before the Lord, for he comes,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
and the peoples in his faithfulness.
Psalm 96 (ESV)
SONG
Goodness of God
[Verse 1]
I love You, Lord
Oh, Your mercy never failed me
All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
[Chorus]
And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
[Verse 2]
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
And in darkest night You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a Father
I’ve known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah
[Chorus]
And all my life You have been faithful,
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
[Bridge]
‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
[Chorus]
