SUNDAY WORSHIP ● 8:00

Prelude Terry Sisk, organist

Welcome

▲ Worship Song See pages 6-7 for music Shout to the Lord Darlene Zschech My Jesus, my Saviour, Lord, there is none like You; All of my days I want to praise the wonders of Your mighty love. My comfort, my shelter, Tower of refuge and strength; Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You. Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing, Power and majesty, praise to the King. Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of Your name. I sing for joy at the work of Your hands, forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand, Nothing compares to the promise I have in You. (repeat)

▲ Prayer of Adoration

▲ Hymn See page 8 for music Standing on the Promises R. Kelso Carter

Standing on the promises of Christ my King, Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring; Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God.

(refrain) Standing , standing, Standing on the promises of God my Savior; Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God. Standing on the promises that cannot fail, When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, By the living word of God I shall prevail, Standing on the promises of God. (refrain)

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord, Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord, Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword, Standing on the promises of God. (refrain)

Standing on the promises I cannot fall, List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call, Resting in my Savior as my all in all, Standing on the promises of God. (refrain)
