CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER

SERMON TEXT | Psalm 127 ESV

Unless the Lord Builds the House

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
    those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
    the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early
    and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
    for he gives to his beloved sleep.

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
    the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
    are the children of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
    who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
    when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

SERMON | Rev. Tolivar Wills

“I Surrender”

Here I am

Down on my knees again

Surrendering all

Surrendering all

 

And find me here

Lord as You draw me near

Desperate for You

Desperate for You

I surrender

 

Drench my soul

As mercy and grace unfold

I hunger and thirst

I hunger and thirst

 

With arms stretched wide

I know You hear my cry

Speak to me now

Speak to me now

 

I surrender

I surrender

I wanna know You more

I wanna know You more

 

I surrender

I surrender

I wanna know You more

I wanna know You more

 

Like a rushing wind

Jesus breathe within

Lord have Your way

Lord have Your way in me

 

Like a mighty storm

Stir within my soul

Lord have Your way

Lord have Your way in me

Like a rushing wind

Jesus breathe within

Lord have Your way

Lord have Your way in me

 

Like a mighty storm

Stir within my soul

Lord have Your way

Lord have Your way in me

 

Lord have Your way

Lord have Your way in me

 

I surrender

I surrender

I wanna know You more

I wanna know You more

CONFESSION OF FAITH

We know God by two means: First, by the creation, preservation, and government of the universe, since that universe is before our eyes like a beautiful book in which all creatures, great and small, are as letters to make us ponder the invisible things of God: God’s eternal power and divinity, as the apostle Paul says in Romans 1:20. All these things are enough to convict humans and to leave them without excuse. Second, God makes himself known to us more clearly by his holy and divine Word, as much as we need in this life, for God’s glory and for our salvation. Belgic Confession, Art. 2

COMMUNION

“Hosanna (En las Alturas, In the Highest)”

Hosanna en las alturas exaltada nuestro Rey Hosanna

Hosanna In the highest. Let our King be lifted up Hosanna

Hosanna en las alturas exaltada nuestro Rey Hosanna

Se exaltado exaltado Se exaltado

Be lifted higher, higher, be lifted higher

Jesus, you be lifted higher higher, be lifted higher

Exaltada nuestro Rey exaltada nuestro Rey 

Exaltada nuestro Rey Hosanna

Let our King be lifted up, Let our King be lifted up

Let our King be lifted up, Hosanna
