SUNDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2017 “LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS” What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms. (Chorus) Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, leaning on the everlasting arms; O how bright the path grows from day to day, leaning on the everlasting arms. (Chorus) Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. What have I to dread, what have I to fear, leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms. (Chorus) Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

“EVERLASTING GOD” Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord; We will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord. Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord; We will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord. Our God, You reign forever; Our Hope, our Strong Deliv’rer. (Chorus) You are the Everlasting God, the Everlasting God; You do not faint, You won’t grow weary. You’re the defender of the weak; You comfort those in need, You lift us up on wings like eagles. Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord; We will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord. Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord; We will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord. Our God, You reign forever; Our Hope, our Strong Deliv’rer. (Chorus) You are the Everlasting God, the Everlasting God; You do not faint, You won’t grow weary. You’re the defender of the weak; You comfort those in need, You lift us up on wings like eagles. Our God, You reign forever; Our Hope, our Strong Deliv’rer. (Chorus) You are the Everlasting God, the Everlasting God; You do not faint, You won’t grow weary. You’re the defender of the weak; You comfort those in need, You lift us up on wings like eagles.

“YOUR NAME IS MATCHLESS” We were sinners, we were orphans; we were looking for a home. We were lost and we were broken, wandering alone. Looking down at our condition, You sent Your Son to change our fate. Though we were hopelessly imprisoned, He came to take our place. (Chorus) Glory to the name of Jesus; Glory to the only name that saves. Ransomed the captives, Your name is matchless. What a mystery to fathom that we’re Your children set apart. For we were enemies, not pilgrims; prodigals at heart. But Your Spirit now has caused us to no longer doubt Your love. Abba, Father, You have bought us; adopted through Your Son. (Chorus) Glory to the name of Jesus; Glory to the only name that saves. Ransomed the captives, Your name is matchless. Glory to the name that freed us, glory to the love that made a way; Beauty for ashes, Your name is matchless. Glory to Your name Glory to Your name Glory to Your name Ponder all we have been given: Heirs to God through Jesus’ name. A stingless death has been made certain, and glory now awaits. (Chorus) Glory to the name of Jesus; Glory to the only name that saves. Ransomed the captives, Your name is matchless. Glory to the name that freed us, glory to the love that made a way; Beauty for ashes, Your name is matchless.

“REVELATION SONG” Worthy is the Lamb who was slain; Holy, holy is He. Sing a new song to Him who sits on heaven’s mercy seat. (Chorus) Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is, and is to come. With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings. You are my ev’rything and I will adore You. Clothed in rainbows of living color, flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder. Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be to You, the only wise King. (Chorus) Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is, and is to come. With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings. You are my ev’rything and I will adore You. Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder, at the mention of Your name. Jesus, Your name is power, breath and living water, such a marvelous mystery. I will adore you. (Chorus) Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is, and is to come. With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings. You are my ev’rything and I will adore You. (Chorus) Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is, and is to come. With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings. You are my ev’rything and I will adore You. You are my ev’rything and I will adore You.

“BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE” Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect plea; A great High Priest whose name is “Love,” who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on His hands, my name is written on His heart, I know that while in heav’n He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart No tongue can bid me thence depart When Satan tempts me to despair, and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look and see Him there who made an end to all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free, for God, the Just is satisfied, To look on Him and pardon me To look on Him and pardon me Behold Him there! The risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless Righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! One with Himself I cannot die, my soul is purchased with His blood, my life is hid with Christ on high, With Christ my Savior and my God With Christ my Savior and my God

CHOIR ANTHEM “O GREAT REDEEMER” Eternal King, enthroned in light, the heavens bow at Your command. You rule the world in pow’r and might, yet grieve the fallen state of man. Immortal hands becoming flesh reach out to pay the sinner’s price; To bear the punishment of death, one pure atoning sacrifice. O Great Redeemer, O, O the power of Your name. O Mighty Warrior, strong to save, worthy the Lamb for sinners slain. O Great Redeemer The mystery of grace unfolds. The blood of Christ now covers us; And darkness trembles to behold the Risen King, victorious! O Great Redeemer, O, O the power of Your name. O Mighty Warrior, strong to save, worthy the Lamb for sinners slain. O Great Redeemer O Great Redeemer O Great Redeemer, O, O the power of Your name. O Mighty Warrior, strong to save, worthy the Lamb for sinners slain. Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain O Great Redeemer

“IMMANUEL” From the squalor of a borrowed stable, by the Spirit and a virgin's faith; To the anguish and the shame of scandal came the Savior of the human race! But the skies were filled with the praise of heaven; Shepherds listen as the angels tell of the Gift of God come down to man, at the dawning of Immanuel. Through the kisses of a friend's betrayal, He was lifted on a cruel cross; He was punished for a world's transgressions, He was suffering to save the lost. He fights for breath, He fights for me, loosing sinners from the claims of hell; And with a shout our souls are free: Death defeated by Immanuel! Now He's reigning in the place of honor, crowned with glory on the highest throne; Interceding for His own beloved till His Father calls to bring them home! Then the skies will part as the trumpet sounds: Hope of heaven or the fear of hell; But the Bride will run to her Lover's arms, giving glory to Immanuel!

INVITATION “NEAR THE CROSS” Jesus, keep me near the cross; there a precious fountain; Free to all, a healing stream flows from Calv’ry’s mountain. (Chorus) In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me; There, the Bright and Morning Star sheds Its beams around me. (Chorus) In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me, Help my walk from day to day with its shadows o’er me. (Chorus) In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. Near the cross I’ll watch and wait; Hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand just beyond the river. (Chorus) In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

OFFERTORY “SEE THE DESTINED DAY ARISE” See the destined day arise! See a willing sacrifice! Jesus, to redeem our loss, hangs upon the shameful cross; Jesus, who but You could bear wrath so great and justice fair? Every pang and bitter throe, finishing Your life of woe? (Chorus) Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lamb of God for sinners slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, we praise your name! Who but Christ had dared to drain, steeped in gall, the cup of pain; And with tender body bear thorns, and nails, and piercing spear? Slain for us, the water flowed, mingled from Your side with blood; Sign to all attesting eyes of the finished sacrifice. (Chorus) Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lamb of God for sinners slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, we praise your name! Holy Jesus, grant us grace in that sacrifice to place all our trust for life renewed, pardoned sin, and promised good. Grant us grace to sing Your praise, 'round Your throne through endless days, ever with the sons of light: “Blessing, honor, glory, might!” (Chorus) Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lamb of God for sinners slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, we praise your name! (Chorus) Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lamb of God for sinners slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, we praise your name! BENEDICTION “SEE THE DESTINED DAY ARISE” Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lamb of God for sinners slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, we praise your name!
