Call To Worship:
Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Songs:
Awesome God
Chorus 1
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom pow'r and love
Our God is an awesome God
Verse 1
When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just puttin' on the ritz
Our God is an awesome God
There is thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
Our God is an awesome God
And the Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
And so you'd better be believin'
That our God is an awesome God
Verse 2
When the sky was starless
In the void of the night
Our God is an awesome God
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light
Our God is an awesome God
Judgment and wrath
He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace
He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not
Too quickly forgotten
That our God is an awesome God

Verse 1
The blind won't gain their sight
By opening their eyes

To His city and crowds around are following
If I could see I would follow too

He heals the sick with His hands
As He walks by they reach for Him
If I could see I would reach out too

The blind won't gain their sight

Son of David have mercy on me
Son of David have mercy on me
Son of David I want to see

Verse 3
I cannot leave this gate
Since I cannot see my way
But I can stand and call His name
No I could never leave this gate
But I will stand and shout His name
And I will count on His grace

I was blind now I see
Jesus saved me
I was blind now I see
Jesus saved me

Benediction:
Move among us, Spirit,
and gather us together with you.
Take our many selves—
our lives, our loves, our ideas,
our questions, our speech, our silence—
and unite us as your people.
Give us the gifts of presence, transformation and guidance,
so that even as we dream your dreams and see your visions,
we may be able to witness to your presence
in our common life.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.—(2 Corinthians 13:14)
Amen.
