OPENING WORDS

PRELUDE The Lord Is My Salvation Keith Getty Soloist: Jennifer Hughes Beshore

CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 27:1-5) Robert DruckenmillerL: The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?A: The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?L: When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.A: Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear.L: Though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.A: One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek.L: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.A: To gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.L: For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling.A: He will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

OPENING PRAYER** Robert DruckenmillerGood morning Lord, thank you for waiting for me to come to you. Thank you for being the lover of my soul and the shepherd of my heart. Thank you for never failing to remember me-even if I forget.

Forgive me for living sometimes like you don’t matter. I get caught up in the rush and forget to take a deep breath. I allow the clutter of self-obsession to take away the joy of friendships. Forgive me for being short sighted and not keeping my eyes on the eternal perspective.

In the midst of my busy life, I sometimes wonder why you seem far away. At such times, help me to stop and ask, “Who moved”? In Jesus name. Amen.

SCRIPTURE Matthew 27:45-46 Robert Druckenmiller

Hymn* O Worship the KingSingers: Amy Anderson, Linda Love, Betsy Miller

O worship the King, all glorious above,O gratefully sing God's power and God’s love;Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

O tell of God's might, O sing of God’s grace,Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,And dark is God’s path on the wings of the storm.

The earth with its store of wonders untold,Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Hymn* It is Well with my SoulSingers: Amy Anderson, Linda Love, Betsy MillerWhen peace, like a river, attendeth my way,When sorrows like sea billows roll;Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,It is well, it is well with my soulChorusIt is well with my soul,It is well, it is well with my soul.Tho’ Satan should buffet, tho’ trials should come,Let this blest assurance control,That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, Oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!My sin, not in part but the whole,Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,Even so, it is well with my soul.

Everlasting God
