Our feet shall stand within Thy gates, O Jerusalem. (Psalm 122:1,2)

People: Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving and make a joyful

noise unto him with Psalms (Psalm 95:2)

L: O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. (Psalm 34:3)

no good thing will be withheld from them that walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11)

“Again I Say Rejoice” Israel Houghton

Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say, again I say Rejoice

Come bless the Lord. Come bless the Lord.

Draw near to worship Christ the Lord.

And bless His name, His holy name. Declaring He is good!

O, that men would praise Him. O, that men would praise Him —

O, that men would praise His name,

Would praise His name to the ends of the earth

Scripture Reading Colossians 2:5-7 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and

beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been

taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Prayer Pastor David Vonbrethorst

“We Bow Down” Elisha J. Mitchell

We bind up all resistance and we loose true surrender

We renounce all defiance and embrace true repentance

We bow down. We bow down

Righteous Judge, Holy Savior bending knees in submission

We declare You Lord and Master, obeying You forever

We bow down. We bow down

With hosts of angels round You and the four and twenty elders

We cast golden crowns before You singing countless Hallelujahs

We bow down. We bow down
