Songs of PraiseMy Raptured Soul

Words by John Berridge and Music by Clint Wells, 2005

If Jesus kindly say, And with a whispering word, “Arise my love and come away,” I run to meet my Lord.

My soul is in my ears; My heart is all on flame;My eyes are sweetly drowned in tears, And melted is my frame.

(Chorus) My raptured soul will rise up, And give a cheerful spring,And dart through all the lofty skies, To visit Zion’s King. To visit Zion’s King.

He meets me with a kiss, And with a smiling face;I taste the dear, enchanting bliss, And wonder at his grace.

(Chorus)

A soft and tender sigh, Now heaves my hollowed breast;I long to lay me down and die, And find eternal rest.

(Chorus)

IndescribableWords and music by Laura Story, 2004

From the highest of heights to the depths of the seaCreation's revealing Your majestyFrom the colors of fall to the fragrance of springEvery creature unique in the song that it sings. All exclaiming

(Chorus) Indescribable, uncontainable,You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.You are amazing God. All powerful, untamable,Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaimYou are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go4

Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snowWho imagined the sun and gives source to its lightYet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night. None can fathom (Chorus)Incomparable, unchangeableYou see the depths of my heart and You love me the sameYou are amazing God. You are amazing GodResponsive Reading Isaiah 6.1-7 1 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. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”

Prayer of Confession

Assurance of Pardoning Grace Revelation 6.9,10 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

Song of ThanksgivingHow Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

© Bill Moore Music. Words: John Newton. Music: Alexander Reinagle (arr. Bill Moore).

How sweet the Name of Jesus soundsIn a believer's ear!It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast;'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary, rest.

Dear Name, the rock on which I build,My shield and hiding place, My never failing treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace!

Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,My Prophet, Priest, and King,

6

My Lord, my life, my way, my end, Accept the praise I bring.

Song of Response

Holy, Holy, Holy!Public Domain. Words: Reginald Heber. Music: John Dykes.

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 crownsaround the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphimfalling down before Thee, Who wert and art and ever more shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;Only Thou art holy;there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy!Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy nameIn earth, and sky, and sea;Holy, holy, holy;merciful and mighty!God in three Persons,blessed Trinity!
