Disorientation and Lament
Come Thou Fount
Robert Robinson and John Wyeth CCLI 20455650
VERSE 1
Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount—I’m fixed upon it—
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
VERSE 2
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand’ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
VERSE 3
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it;
Seal it for Thy courts above.
How Deep the Father’s Love for Us
Stuart Townend CCLI 20455650
Verse 1
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Verse 2
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
Verse 3
I will not boast in anything
No gifts no power no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
Creed
New City Catechism
Question 1: What is our only hope in life and death?
A: That we are not our own but belong, body and soul, both in life and death, to God and to our Savior Jesus Christ.
Question 52: What hope does everlasting life hold for us?
A: It reminds us that this present fallen world is not all there is; soon we will live with and enjoy God forever in the new city, in the new heaven and the new earth, where we will be fully and forever freed from all sin and will inhabit renewed, resurrection bodies in a renewed, restored creation.
Scripture
Sermon
Closing Song
All I Have is Christ
Jordan Kauflin CCLI 20455650
Verse 1
I once was lost in darkest night,
yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You
would own a rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first,
I would refuse You still
Verse 2
But as I ran my hell-bound race,
indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state,
and led me to the cross
And I beheld God’s love displayed,
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me,
now all I know is grace
Verse 3
Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone,
and live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands could
never come from me
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
in any way You choose
And let my song forever be,
my only boast is You
