Blessed is the oneWritten by Mike Westendorf

Based on Psalm 62

Blessed is the one who trusts in the LordAnd whose confidence is in himMy soul finds rest in God aloneSalvation comes through him

Refrain:You Alone are my Salvation

My fortress I will not be shaken

Blessed is the one who walks with the Lord

And whose hope for life is in himThe help and refuge of my soul

Redemption comes through him

In troubled times you find meWhere does my help come from

The Lord is strong to save meAnd I will rest within his love

Blessed is the one who trusts in the LordAnd whose confidence is in himThe help and refuge of my soul

Redemption comes through him

In God We Trust

Offering

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give,

not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7

A 21st Century Creed

In an age of anxiety, we believe that peace comes from Jesus

Christ, the Son of God.

In an age of confusion, we believe that the Bible is the Word of God,

inerrant and infallible.

In an age of doubt, we believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy

Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary.

In an age of guilt, we believe that Jesus died on the cross to remove the power of sin and Satan from

our lives.

In an age of reason, we believe that God is at work in the

sacraments of Baptism and Communion.

In an age of constant change, we believe in the unchanging Trinity –

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Voice of TruthWritten by Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to haveThe kind of faith it takes to climb

out of this boat I’m inAnd onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zoneInto the realm of the unknown

where Jesus isAnd he’s holding out his hand

But the waves they’re callin out my name and they laugh at me

Reminding me of all the times I’ve tried before and failed

The waves they keep on telling meTime and time again

Boy you’ll never win… you’ll never win

Refrain: But the voice of truth Tells me a different story

The voice of truth says do not be afraid

The voice of truth Says this is for my glory

Out of all the voices calling out to meI will choose to listen and believe

The Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to haveThe kind of strength it takes to

stand before a giantWith just a sling and a stone

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors

Shaking in their armorAs he’s holding out his hand

But the giant’s calling out my name and he laughs at me

Reminding me of all the times I’ve tried before and failed

The giant keeps on telling meTime and time again

Boy you’ll never win… you’ll never win

Refrain: But the voice of truth Tells me a different story



Out of all the voices calling out to meyeah

The voice of truth Tells me a different story



Out of all the voices calling out to meI will choose to listen and believe

The Voice of Truth

In God We Trust

In God We Trust – Really?

Trust = reliance on the integrity, strength, ability of a person or thing; confidence

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

Numbers 23:19

God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Hebrews 13:8

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:20

I am with you always.

Matthew 28:20

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38,39

Prayer

I’ve tried to stand my groundI’ve tried to stand my groundI’ve tried to understandI’ve tried to understand

But I can’t seem to find my faith But I can’t seem to find my faith againagain

Like water on the sandLike water on the sandOr grasping at the windOr grasping at the windI keep on falling shortI keep on falling short

So Please be my strengthSo Please be my strengthPlease be my strengthPlease be my strength

Cause I don’t have any moreCause I don’t have any moreI don’t have any moreI don’t have any more

I’m looking for a placeI’m looking for a placeWhere I can plant my faithWhere I can plant my faithOne thing I know for sureOne thing I know for sure

I can not create itI can not create itAnd I can not sustain itAnd I can not sustain it

It’s your love that’s keeping meIt’s your love that’s keeping me

Please be my strengthPlease be my strengthPlease be my strengthPlease be my strength

Cause I don’t have any moreCause I don’t have any moreI don’t have any moreI don’t have any more

L: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

C: If we walk in the light as God himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us from all sin.

L: With steadfast love and wondrous grace, the Lord desires to make us clean.

(Silence for self-examination)

L: Almighty God,

C: You dwell in light unapproachable. Unprotected, we perish in your presence. For our hearts are darkened, our minds clouded; we call for night to cover our actions; we have often loved darkness rather than the light.

L: Jesus Christ is the light of the world, the light no darkness can overcome.

C: Therefore, we look only to Jesus for the forgiveness we so desperately need.

L: As a Christ follower, God hears your prayer. “I choose to make you clean,” the Savior says.

C: We have seen Jesus’ glory and his victory in the empty tomb. Our sin debt has been paid in full. We are free to rejoice!

And in my final breathAnd in my final breathI hope that I can sayI hope that I can say

I fought the good fight of faithI fought the good fight of faithI pray your glory shinesI pray your glory shines

In this doubting heart of mineIn this doubting heart of mineThat all my know that youThat all my know that you

You are my strengthYou are my strengthYou are my strengthYou are my strengthYou and you aloneYou and you alone

You keep bringing me back homeYou keep bringing me back home

Oh You are my strengthOh You are my strengthYou are my strengthYou are my strengthYou and you aloneYou and you alone

You keep bringing me back homeYou keep bringing me back homeIt’s you and you aloneIt’s you and you alone

Keep bringing me back homeKeep bringing me back home

Prayer

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
