Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn
“Here I Am to Worship”
Light of the world you stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes let me see beauty that made
This heart adore You hope of a life spent with You
Refrain:
So here I am to worship here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God and You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy altogether wonderful to me
King of all days Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above Humbly You came
To the earth You created all for love's sake became poor [Refrain]

And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross
And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross

Closing Hymn
“A Mighty Fortress is Our God”
A mighty fortress is our God a bulwark never failing
Our helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe
His craft and pow'r are great and armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal
Did we in our own strength confide our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side the Man of God's own choosing
Dost ask who that may be Christ Jesus it is He
Lord Sabaoth His name from age to age the same
And He must win the battle
And tho' this world with devils filled should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God hath willed his truth to triumph thru us
The prince of darkness grim we tremble not for him
His rage we can endure for lo his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
That word above all earthly pow'rs no thanks to them abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours thru Him who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go this mortal life also
The body they may kill God's truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever
