Offertory Hymn “How Deep the Father’s
Love for Us”
- 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.
- Behold the Man upon the 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.
- I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no pow’r, 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.
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.
(repeat)

Song of Preparation “In My Heart”
1. In my heart there is a stirring, one that did not start with me;
A love to worship my Creator, to show His love for all to see.
I will worship, I will honor, I will exalt the Lord above;
All my days I’ll sing the praises of His great redeeming love.
2. In my heart there is a treason, one that poisons all my love.
Take my heart and consecrate it, wash it in Your cleansing flood.
I will worship, I will honor, I will exalt the Lord above;
All my days I’ll sing the praises of His great redeeming love.
3. Tie me to the Rock unchanging, tie me to His wondrous cross.
I’ll fix my eyes upon the Savior, all other things I count as loss.
I will worship, I will honor, I will exalt the Lord above;
All my days I’ll sing the praises of His great redeeming love.
(repeat chorus)

Pastoral Prayer
Offertory Hymn “What a Friend We
Have in Jesus”
1. What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry ev’rything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry ev’rything to God in prayer.
2. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged: Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness – take to the Lord in prayer!
3. Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our Refuge – take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there. Amen
