Order of Service

  • Prelude
  • Psalm 22: My God, My God T. Manion
    All: Hope waits for the accepted hour
 Till God give joy for mourning; When He displays His healing pow'r,
 Thy sighs to songs are turning.
 Thy needs are known unto thy Lord,
 And He is faithful to His Word,
 This is our hope's foundation.


    Though it may seem He hears thee not, 
Count not thyself forsaken;
 Thy wants are ne'er by Him forgot, 
Let this thy hope awaken;
 His word is sure, here is thy stay,
 Though doubts may plague thee on thy way, 
Let not thy faith be shaken.
    Solo: My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
    All: My God…
    Solo: All who see me laugh at me. They shake their heads,
    "He trusted in God, let God deliver Him, if God loves him."
    All: My God…
    Solo: Closely, now they press me 'round and pierce me through,
    "He trusted in God, let God deliver Him, if God loves him."
    All: My God…
    Solo: All is taken, all is lost. Be near, my help. Come near, my help.
    I trusted in God, may God deliver me. O deliver me, as you love me.
    I long to stand in the midst of your people, and sing your name.
    Give God your laud, cry out your praises, and hold fast to the Lord.
    All: My God.
    All: As Christ hath full atonement made
 And brought to us salvation,
 So may each Christian now be glad 
And build on this foundation;
 Thy grace alone, dear Lord, I plead,
 Thy death is now my life indeed,
 For Thou hast paid my ransom.

Scripture

Hebrews 4:12-16 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
