Hymn: Amazing Grace

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,‘
Twas blind but now I see.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

Opening Prayers:   Father Joe

Hymn:

Come to the Water

(Refrain)

Come to the water! You who are thirsty!
Though you have nothing, I bid you come!
And be filled with the goodness I have to offer
Come! Listen! Live

Why spend your money on what cannot fill
The emptiness deep in your heart?
Listen to my word and you will enjoy:
Goodness and peace in your heart!
(Refrain)

Just as the heavens are high above earth;
My ways and thoughts beyond you!
Call me your Father and know I am near!
I will be Father to you!
(Refrain)

Just as the rain falls to water the earth;
Just as a seed becomes bread…
My word upon you can never return
Until my longing is filled!
(Refrain)

Recessional Hymn:

How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God!
When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed;

Refrain
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee;
How great thou art, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee;
How great thou art, how great thou art!

When Christ shall come with hours of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
When I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim
My God, how great thou art!
Refrain
