THE GLORY OF THE LORD RISES INVOCATION & LORD’S PRAYER Dick Graves PRELUDE *HYMN Majesty Hayford Majesty, worship His majesty. Unto Jesus be all glory, honor and praise. Majesty, kingdom authority—Flow from His throne unto His own; His anthem raise. So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus. Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus, the King. Majesty, worship His majesty— Jesus who died, now glorified—King of all kings. PRAYER OF ASSURANCE Psalm 40 I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heart my cry. He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. *RESPONSE When we seek Him, we will find Him, if we search with all our hearts. When we seek Him, we will find Him, if we search with all our hearts. THE SONGS OF THE LORD RISE CHILDREN’S STORY Jill Cook *HYMN O, How He Loves You and Me O, how He loves you and me, O, how He loves you and me. He gave His life, what more could He give? O, how He loves you, O, how he loves me, O how He loves You and me! Jesus to Calv’ry did go; His love for sinners to show. What He did there brought hope from despair. O how He loves you; O how He loves me; O how He loves you and me! PRAYER FOR OUR GIFTS O bless the gifts our hands have brought; And bless the work our hearts have planned. Ours is the faith, the will, the thought The rest, O God, is in Your hand THE PRAYERS OF THE LORD RISE Teach me to breathe deeply in faith– Sören Kierkegaard In confidence of your goodness and great mercy, O LORD, I draw near to you, as a sick person to the healer, As one hungry and thirsty to the Fountain of life, a creature to the Creator, a desolate soul to my own tender Comforter. Behold, in you is everything that I can or ought to desire. You are my salvation and my redemption, my Helper and my strength. -Thomas à Kempis PRAYER MEDITATION THE WORD OF THE LORD RISES SCRIPTURE John 21:15-19 MUSIC MESSAGE MEMORY LOSS Dick Graves *HYMN Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in his wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim. In the light of his glory and grace.
