Jesus Paid It All
Anthony Brown and Pat Barrett CCLI 20455650
Verse 1
I hear the savior say
Thy strength indeed in small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in me thine all in all
Chorus
Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
Verse 2
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and thine alone
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone
Verse 3
And when before the throne
I stand in him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat
Bridge
Oh praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
Creed
Liturgy to Begin a Purposeful Gathering
Leader: And so we are gathered here, uniquely in all of history, we particular people in this singular time and place.
Congregation: Accomplish your purposes among us, O God. Tune our hearts to the voice of your Spirit. Wake us to be present to you and to one another in these shared hours we are given.
Leader: For it is you, O Lord, who have so gathered us from our various places, and you alone who know our hearts and our needs.
Among us are some who arrive anxious, some who are lonely, some who suffer pain or sorrow.
Congregation: May we in our joys find grace to enter the sorrows of others.
Leader: Among us are some who arrive rejoicing, hearts made light by good news, good health, glad anticipation.
Congregation: May we in our sorrows find grace to embrace the joys of others.
Leader: Let us prize these moments and care for one another deeply--for each of us, and our relationships to one another, are precious and fleeting. Amen.
Let us prize these moments and care for one another deeply--for each of us, and our relationships to one another, are precious and eternal. Amen.
Breathe upon our gathering, O Spirit of God. Grant each of us a place to humbly receive and to faithfully serve, that we might know in this brief gathering a foretaste of that greater communion yet to come.
Congregation: O Father, enlarge our hearts. O Spirit, expand our vision. O Christ, establish your kingdom among us.
Leader: Be at work even now, O Lord. May your will, in us, in these hours, be accomplished. Amen.

Closing Song
Before the Throne
Charitie Lees Bancroft and Vikki Cook CCLI 20455650
Verse 1
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest, whose name is Love
Whoever lives and pleads for me
Verse 2
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart
Verse 3
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
Verse 4
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
Chorus
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Praise the One,
Risen Son of God!
Verse 5
Behold Him there, the Risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I am
The King of glory and of grace!
Verse 6
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God
