above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the
earth; the heights of the mountains are his also.
People: But there is forgiveness with you, so that
you may be revered.

I hope;

those who watch for the morning.
* OPENING PRAYER
* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven
and earth; and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord: who
was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and
buried; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended
into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the
Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the
quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy
catholic* church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the
life everlasting. Amen.

I Am His Child
Kurtis Bradley Brown, soloist
I may not be all that you are,
I may not be a shining star,
But what I am,
I thank the Lord for making me His child.
Thank You Lord for hearing ev'ry prayer,
Thank You Lord for just being there,
Thank You Lord, thank You Lord,
For I am not worthy of Your love.
So don't use me or abuse me, for I am His child.
Don't tease me or mistreat me, for I'm still His child.
You can even talk about me, but I'm still His child.
