SONG
Grace Alone
[Verse 1]
I was an orphan lost at the Fall
Running away when I’d hear Your call
Father, You worked Your will
I had no righteousness of my own
I had no right to draw near Your throne
Father, You loved me still
And in love before You laid
the world’s foundation
You predestined to adopt me
as Your own
You have raised me up so high
above my station
I’m a child of God by grace and grace alone
[Verse 2]
You left Your home to seek out the lost
You knew the great and terrible cost
Jesus, Your face was set
I worked my fingers down to the bone
Nothing I did could ever atone
Jesus, You paid my debt
By Your blood, I have redemption
and salvation
Lord, You died that I might reap
what You have sown
And You rose that I might be
a new creation
I am born again by grace and grace alone
[Verse 3]
I was in darkness all of my life
I never knew the day from the night
Spirit, You made me see
I swore I knew the way on my own
Head full of rocks, a heart made of stone
Spirit, You moved in me
At your touch my sleeping spirit
was awakened
On my darkened heart
the light of Christ has shone
Called into a kingdom
that cannot be shaken
Heaven’s citizen by grace and grace alone
So I’ll stand in faith by grace and grace alone
I will run the race by grace and grace alone
I will slay my sin by grace and grace alone
I will reach the end by grace and grace alone
SONG
How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
[Verse 1]
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
[Verse 2]
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
[Verse 3]
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
SONG
Lead on O King Eternal
[Verse 1]
Lead on, O King Eternal
‘Til sin’s fierce war shall cease
And holiness shall whisper
The sweet amen of peace
[Verse 2]
For not with swords loud clashing
Nor roll of stirring drums
But deeds of love and mercy
The heavenly kingdom comes
[Chorus]
Let Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
Right here on the earth
Like it is in heaven
[Verse 3]
Lead on, O King Eternal
We follow not with fears
For gladness breaks like morning
Wherever Thy face appears
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Thy cross is lifted o’er us
We journey in its light
We follow as You guide us
Lead on, O God of might
[Chorus]

SERMON
“The Lord’s Prayer: for Outreach”
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.
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those
who will believe in me through their word,
21 that they may all be one,
just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you,
that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
that you have sent me.
John 17:13-21 (ESV)
SONG
Jesus Shall Reign
[Verse 1]
Jesus shall reign wherever the sun
Does its successive journeys run
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
‘Til sun shall rise and set no more
[Verse 2]
Blessings abound wherever He reigns
The prisoner leaps to loose his chains
The weary find eternal rest
And all the sons of want are blessed
[Chorus]
To our King be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful, He shall reign
Jesus shall reign
[Verse 3]
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Let every creature rise and bring
Blessing and honor to our King
Angels descend with songs again
And Earth repeats the loud “Amen!”
BENEDICTION
Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me,
even so I am sending you.
John 20:21
