❖ CALL TO WORSHIP from Isaiah 6

Minister: The prophet Isaiah said, “In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. And the heavenly creatures called to one another and said:

People: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;the whole earth is full of his glory!’”

❖ HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!NICAEA, John B. Dykes and Reginald Heber

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee; Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore thee, Casting down their golden crowns Around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! All thy works shall praise thy Name, In earth and sky and sea; Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

❖ PRAYER OF ADORATION

❖ REVELATION SONGJennie Lee Riddle

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain; holy, holy is he. Sing a new song to him who sits on heaven’s mercy seat. (2x)

Chorus: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come. With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings; You are my everything and I will adore you.

Clothed in rainbows of living color, Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder; Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be to you: The only wise King. (Chorus)

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder, At the mention of your name; Jesus, your name is power, breath, and living water; Such a marvelous mystery. (Chorus)

PRAYER FOR CHRIST’S CHURCH AND THE WORLD

❖ I SHALL NOT WANTBryan Brown and Audrey Assad

From the love of my own comfort, From the fear of having nothing, From a life of worldly passions, Deliver me, O God.

From the need to be understood, From a need to be accepted, From the fear of being lonely, Deliver me, O God. Deliver me, O God.

Chorus: And I shall not want, no, I shall not want; When I taste your goodness, I shall not want; When I taste your goodness, I shall not want.

From the fear of serving others, From the fear of death or trial, From the fear of humility, Deliver me, O God. Deliver me, O God. (Chorus)

And I shall not want, no, I shall not want; When I taste your goodness, I shall not want. (Chorus)

Amazing grace! – how sweet the sound – That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found – Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures.
