    1. Lord, I come, I confess,
       Bowing here I find my rest.
       And without You I fall apart.
       You’re the one that guides my heart.
    Chorus 1: Lord, I need You, oh I need You.
     Ev’ry hour I need You.
     My one defense, my righteousness.
     Oh God, how I need You.

       Where grace is found is where You are.

       Holiness is Christ in me. (chorus)
    Bridge: So teach my song to rise to You
      When temptation comes my way.
      And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You.

Call to Worship
Song of Praise – “A Mighty Fortress,” Martin Luther, arr. Gene LeVasseur
   1. A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
      Our helper frees us from the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
      For still our ancient foe forsworn to work us woe;
      With guile and dreadful might is armed to wage the fight,
      On earth there is no equal.
    Refrain: Hallelujah! We believe our God is good.
     Hallelujah! A mighty fortress is our God.
     Hallelujah! We believe our God is good.
     Hallelujah! A mighty fortress is our God.
    2. If we in our own strength confide, our striving turns to losing,
       The righteous one fights by our side, the One of God’s own choosing.
       You ask who this may be. Christ Jesus, it is He;
       The Lord of hosts by name. No other God we claim.
       None else can win the battle. (refrain)
    3. God’s Word shall stand above the powers,
       shall end all their Thanksgiving.
       The Spirit and the gifts are ours for God with us is living.
       Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
       Though all of these be gone, they yet have nothing won.
       The kingdom’s ours forever. (refrain)

Song of the Day – “This Is Amazing Grace,” Jeremy Riddle, Josh Farro,
 and Phil Wickham
    1. Who breaks the power of sin and darkness?
       Whose love is mighty and so much stronger?
       The King of Glory, the King above all kings.
       Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder?
       Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder?
       The King of Glory, the King above all kings.
    Chorus: This is amazing grace
     This is unfailing love
     That You would take my place
     That You would bear my cross
     You laid down Your life
     That I would be set free
     Oh Jesus I sing for all that You’ve done for me
    2. Who brings our chaos back into order?
       Who makes the orphan a son and daughter?
       The King of Glory, the King of Glory.
       Who rules the nations with truth and justice?
       Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance?
       The King of Glory, the King above all kings. (chorus)
    Bridge: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
      Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
      Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
      Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
      Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
      Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
      Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
      Worthy, worthy, worthy (chorus)

    2. It matters not what song that you sing

      Flowing from the strength that You’ve given

    3. Our unity’s a gift from above
       Forgiveness when we’re broken in two
       Through grace we have now rebuilt our home

 Communion Song – “At the Cross (Love Ran Red),” Chris Tomlin,
  Ed Cash, Jonas Myrin, Matt Armstrong, and Matt Redman
   1. There’s a place where mercy reigns and never dies
      There’s a place where streams of grace flow deep and wide
      Where all the love I’ve ever found
      Comes like a flood comes flowing down
    Chorus: At the cross, at the cross I surrender my life
     I’m in awe of You, I’m in awe of You
     Where Your love ran red and my sin washed white
     I owe all to You, I owe all to You
    2. There’s a place where sin and shame are powerless
       Where my heart has peace with God and forgiveness
       Where all the love I’ve ever found
       Comes like a flood comes flowing down (chorus)
    Bridge: Here my hope is found, here on holy ground
      Here I bow down, here I bow down
      Here arms open wide, here You saved my life
      Here I bow down here I bow (down)

Final Chorus: At the cross at the cross I surrender my life
      I’m in awe of You I’m, in awe of You
      Where Your love ran red and my sin washed white
      I owe all to You, I owe all to You, Jesus.
