Order of Worship
February 15, 2015
CALL TO WORSHIP
from Psalm 100 A Psalm for giving thanks.
LEADER: Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the LORD, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with
praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
PEOPLE: For the LORD is good; his steadfast love
endures forever, and his faithfulness to all
generations.
SONGS OF PRAISE
10,000 REASONS
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul;
Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul;
I’ll worship Your holy name.
The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes (chorus)
You’re rich in love, and You’re slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find (chorus)
continued
2
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore (chorus)
FOR ALL THE SAINTS
For all the saints, Who from their labours rest
Who Thee by faith, Before the world confessed
Thy name O Jesus, Be forever blest
Alleluia, Allelu
Thou wast their Rock, Their Fortress and their Might
Thou Lord their Captain, In the well fought fight
Thou in the darkness drear, Their one true Light
Alleluia, Allelu
The golden evening, Brightens in the west
Soon soon to faithful, Warriors cometh rest
Sweet is the calm, Of paradise the blest
Alleluia, Allelu
O blest communion, Fellowship divine
We feebly struggle, They in glory shine
Yet all are one in Thee, For all are Thine
Alleluia, Allelu
And when the strife is fierce, The warfare long
Steals on the ear, The distant triumph song
And hearts are brave again, And arms are strong
Alleluia, Allelu
But lo there breaks, A yet more glorious day
The saints triumphant, Rise in bright array
The King of Glory, Passes on His way
Alleluia, Allelu
From earth’s wide bounds, From ocean’s farthest coast
Through gates of pearl, Streams in the countless host
Singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Alleluia, Alleluia

The James Island
Community Group meets

Pray God would knit
their hearts together as
one.
Pray that they would

JESUS, I AM RESTING, RESTING
Jesus, I am resting, resting, in the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness, of Thy loving heart.
Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee, and Thy beauty fills my
soul. For by Thy transforming power,
Thou hast made me whole.
Jesus, I am resting, resting, in the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness, of Thy loving heart.
O, how great Thy loving kindness. Vaster, broader than the
sea! O how marvelous Thy goodness, lavished all on me!
Yes, I rest in Thee, Beloved, know what wealth of grace is
Thine. Know Thy certainty of promise,
And have made it mine.
Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art.
And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, satisfies my heart;
Satisfies its deepest longings, meets, supplies its every need,
Compasseth me ‘round with blessings,
Thine is love indeed!
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
from Psalm 51
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy,
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
You will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

AMAZING GRACE (MY CHAINS ARE GONE)
Amazing grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m 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
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures (chorus)
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun (chorus)
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine, Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
OFFERTORY
Parents, if you’d like for your children (3K-Kindergarten) to participate
in Children’s Church, please dismiss them after the offering is collected.

last decade serving with
Serge in Uganda and South
Sudan as a teacher,
counselor, and educator.

God’s Spirit to equip her as
a humble leader, and for
creative wisdom to serve
the diverse team as they
work in medicine,
education, and counseling.

HALLELUJAH! WHAT A SAVIOR
Man of sorrows what a name
For the Son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim
Hallelujah what a Savior
Bearing shame and scoffing rude
In my place condemned He stood
Sealed my pardon with His blood
Hallelujah what a Savior
Guilty vile and helpless we
Spotless Lamb of God was He
Full atonement can it be
Hallelujah what a Savior
Lifted up was He to die
It is finished was His cry
Now in heaven exalted high
Hallelujah what a Savior
