Hymn 589 Here I am, Lord
Daniel L. Schutte © New Dawn Music – CCLI #791679

I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard My people cry
All who dwell in deepest sin
My hand will save.

I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Refrain:
Here I am, Lord.  Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord.  If you lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne My people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them,
They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word to them.
Whom shall I send?

Refrain:
Here I am, Lord.  Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord.  If you lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them,
My hand will save.

Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give My life to them.
Whom shall I send?

Refrain:
Here I am, Lord.  Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord.  If you lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.

 Silent Prayer of Confession 

Sung Response & Assurance of Pardon
“Lord have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us.”

Glory to the Father
“Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”

An Affirmation of Faith (unison)
This is the good news which we received, in which we stand and by which we are saved; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day; and that he appeared to Mary, then to the twelve, and to many faithful witnesses. We believe he is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, he is our Lord and our God. Amen. 

Sharing of Joys and Concerns

Prayers of the People

The Lord’s Prayer "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”




Anthem  "Sinner Man"                                    Contemporary Choir

Communion

The Peace
L:   God sent the world his only Son. Since God loved us so much, we too should love one another.
P:   Let us love one another, since love comes from God.
L:   The Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
P:   (to each other) The Peace of Christ be with you.

Traditional - CCLI #791679

I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee

Refrain:
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it Jesus, is my plea.
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Thro’ this world of toil and snares
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

Refrain:
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it Jesus, is my plea.
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

Refrain:
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it Jesus, is my plea.
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.


Benediction

Sung Response
May the Lord, Mighty God, bless and keep you forever; Grant you peace, perfect peace, courage in every endeavor. Lift your eyes and see his face, and his love forever. May the Lord, risen Lord, bless and keep you forever.
