Wonderful Cross
Words and Music by Chris Tomlin
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
See from his head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
(Chorus)
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live.
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless your name.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far to small.
Love so amazing so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
(Chorus)
Welcome and Announcements
Meditation Zechariah 9:9
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey ,on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Call to Worship Psalm 118. 24-29
Leader:This is the day that theLord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Save us, we pray, OLord! OLord, we pray, give us success!
People: Blessed is he who comes in the name of theLord! We bless you from the house of theLord.
Leader: TheLord is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar! You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you.
People:Oh give thanks to theLord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!
Songs of Praise
All Glory, Laud, and Honor
Written by St. Theodulph
All glory, laud and honor, To Thee, redeemer, King
To whom the lips of children, Made sweet hosannas ring
Thou art the King of Israel, Thou, David’s royal Son,
Who in the Lord’s Name comest, The King and Blessed One.
The company of angels, are praising Thee on high
And mortal men, and all things, created, make reply.
The people of the Hebrews with palms before Thee went:
Our praise and prayers and anthems before Thee we present.
To Thee before Thy passion they sang their hymns of praise:
To Thee, now high exalted, our melody we raise.
Thou didst accept their praises; accept the prayers we bring,
Who in all good delighest, Thou good and gracious King.
O The Valleys
Music and Lyrics Unknown
O the valleys are filled with the sound of praise
And the Lion shall lie with the lamb
Of His government there will be no end
And His glory shall fill all the earth.
(Chorus)
May your kingdom come; May Your will be done
Let reign, let it rule in our lives
There’s a shout from the camp, as we answer the call
Hail the King, Hail the Lord, Lord of all!
O the earth has been made,
By the strength of your hand,
And the heavens the work of Your power.
Though they all will change, you remain the same,
And your years will not come to an end.
(Chorus)

The Power of the Cross
Words and Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, 2005
Oh, to see the dawn of the darkest day:
Christ on the road to Calvary
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood
(Chorus)
This, the pow'r of the cross: Christ became sin for us;
Took the blame, bore the wrath—We stand forgiven at the cross
Oh, to see the pain written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin
Ev'ry bitter thought, ev'ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow (Chorus)
Now the daylight flees; now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life;
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry (Chorus)
Oh, to see my name written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free
Death is crushed to death; life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love
(Final Chorus)
This, the pow'r of the cross: Son of God—slain for us.
What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross

Thy Blood Was Shed For Me (Part 3)
Words by Charles Wesley, 1869
Music by Robert Turner, 2009
Let the world their virtue boast,
Their works of righteousness,
I, a wretch undone and lost,
Am freely saved by grace;
Other title I disclaim;
This, only this, is all my plea:
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.
But Jesus died for me.
I, like Gideon's fleece, am found
Unwatered still, and dry,
While the dew on all around,
Falls plenteous from the sky;
Yet my Lord I cannot blame,
The Savior's grace for all is free:
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.
But Jesus died for me.
Surely He will lift me up,
For I of Him have need;
I cannot give up my hope,
Though I am cold and dead;
To bring fire on earth He came;
O that it now might kindled be!
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.
But Jesus died for me.
Jesus, Thou for me hast died,
And Thou in me wilt live;
I shall feel Thy death applied,
I shall Thy life receive;
Yet, when melted in the flame
Of love, this shall be all my plea:
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.
But Jesus died for me.
Prayer for the Kingdom

There is a Fountain
Words by William Cowper, Music by Darwin Jordan
There is fountain filled with blood. drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains. Lose all their guilty stains. lose all their guilty stains. And sinners plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away. wash all my sins away. wash all my sins away. And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
’Til all the ransomed church of God Be saved to sin no more. Be saved to sin no more, be saved to sin no more ’Til all the ransomed church of God Be saved to sin no more.
E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be ’til I die. And shall be ’til I die, and shall be ’til I die. Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be ’til I die.
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue, lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save. I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save, I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save. Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save.
Benediction
