Praise to the Lord,

the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise him,

for he is thy health and salvation!

All ye who hear,

now to his temple draw near;

join me in glad adoration!

Praise to the Lord,

who o’er all things

so wondrously reigning

bears thee on eagle’s wings,

e’er in his keeping maintaining.

God’s care enfolds

all whose true good he upholds.

Hast thou not known his sustaining?

Praise to the Lord,

who doth prosper thy work

and defend thee;

surely his goodness and

mercy here daily attend thee.

Ponder anew

what the Almighty can do,

who with his love doth befriend thee.

Praise to the Lord!

O let all that

is in me adore him!

All that hath life and breath,

come now with praises before him!

Let the amen

sound from his people again;

gladly forever adore him.

Opening PrayerM. T. Winters

My God, You are with me always. My life is in Your hands. I give thanks for Your

presence. You heal our ills and calm the fears and fires that rage within us. Help us

to faithfully follow You and to serve You without compromise every day. All that

You do is holy, and holy is Your name. Amen.

Hymnal # 474

Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

Precious Lord, take my hand,

lead me on, let me stand,

I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;

through the storm,

through the night,

lead me on to the light:

Take my hand, precious Lord,

lead me home.

When my way grows drear,

precious Lord, linger near,

when my life is almost gone,

hear my cry, hear my call,

hold my hand lest I fall:

Take my hand, precious Lord,

lead me home.

When the darkness appears

and the night draws near,

and the day is past and gone,

at the river I stand,

guide my feet, hold my hand:

Take my hand, precious Lord,

lead me home.

Mark 1:29-32 NRSV

As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them. That evening, at sunset, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.

Mark 1:33-37 NRSV

And the whole city was gathered around the door. And he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. And Simon and his companions hunted for him. When they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is searching for you.”

Mark 1:38-39 NRSV

He answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do.” And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.

He Touched Me

Hymnal #367

Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

Shackled by a heavy burden,neath a load of guilt and shame,

then the hand of Jesus touched me,and now I am no longer the same.

He touched me,O He touched me,

and O the joy that floods my soul!Something happened,

and now I know,he touched me

and made me whole.

Since I met this blessed Savior,since he cleansed

and made me whole,I will never cease to praise him;I’ll shout it while eternity rolls.

He touched me,O He touched me,

and O the joy that floods my soul!Something happened,

and now I know,he touched me

and made me whole.
