Come Back To Me...

 

 Come Back To Me (Hosea) 

Sunday 7pm Choir

Come back to me with all your heart.

Don't let fear keep us apart.

Trees do bend, though straight and tall,

So must we to other's call.

Long have I waited for

Your coming home to me

 And living deeply our new life.

The wilderness will lead you

To your heart where I will speak.

Integrity and justice,

With tenderness, you shall know.

Long have I waited for

Your coming home to me

And living deeply our new life.

You shall sleep secure with peace;

Faithfulness will be your joy.

Long have I waited for

Your coming home to me

 And living deeply our new life.

Holy Forever

A thousand generations falling down in worship

To sing the song of ages to the Lamb

And all who've gone before us and all who will believe

Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb

Your name is the highest

Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all

All thrones and dominions

All powers and positions

Your name stands above them all

And the angels cry holy

All creation cries holy

You are lifted high, holy

Holy forever

If you've been forgiven and if you've been redeemed

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

If you walk in freedom and if you bear His name

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

We'll sing the song forever and amen

And the angels cry holy

All creation cries holy

You are lifted high, holy

Holy forever

Hear Your people sing holy

To the King of kings, holy

You will always be holy

Holy forever

Your name is the highest

Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all

All thrones and dominions

All powers and positions

Your name stands above them all

Jesus

Your name is the highest

Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all 

All thrones and dominions

All powers and positions

Your name stands above them all

And the angels cry holy

All creation cries holy

You are lifted high, holy

Holy forever 

Hear Your people sing holy

To the King of kings, holy 

You will always be holy

Holy forever

You will always be holy

Holy forever

Is He Worthy?

 Is He Worthy? 

Chris Tomlin 

Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)

Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)

But do you know that all the dark won't

Stop the light from getting through? (We do)

Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)

Is all creation groaning? (It is)

Is a new creation coming? (It is)

Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)

Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

He was David's root and the Lamb who died 

to ransom the slave

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Of all blessing and honor and glory

Is He worthy of this?

He is!

Does the Father truly love us? (He does)

Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)

And does Jesus, our Messiah 

hold forever those He loves? (He does)

Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

He is David's root and the Lamb who died

 to ransom the slave

From every people and tribe

Every nation and tongue

He has made us a kingdom and priests to God

To reign with the Son

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Of all blessing and honor and glory

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Is He worthy of this?

He is!

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

He is! He is!

God Gets into Our Boat

by Hans Boersma

8/5/24

The disciples are scared out of their wits. Demonic waves and wind are all around. Who is that shadowy figure walking on these waves?

Jesus means to pass them by (Mark 6:49). This is our ultimate reality check. Recall when Moses is in the cleft of the rock, as the Lord comes down in the cloud: “The Lord passed by him” and proclaimed his name (Exod. 34:6). And remember Job—“Behold he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him” (Job  9:11). When God passes by, it means he has come down from his heavenly mountain temple—like he came to Moses, like he came to Job.

But like Job, we “see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him.” Like the disciples, our hearts are hard; we cannot see. We are beside ourselves with fear. “It is a ghost,” we cry. Well, no, it is not a ghost; it is God himself. God has descended from on high. “Take heart,” he says, “it is I—egō eimi—I am.” “Do not be afraid.” Read it all!

Feast of the Transfiguration

These are the divine wonders we celebrate today; this is the saving revelation given us upon the mountain; this is the festival of Christ that has drawn us here. Let us listen, then, to the sacred voice of God so compellingly calling us from on high, from the summit of the mountain, so that with the Lord’s chosen disciples we may penetrate the deep meaning of these holy mysteries, so far beyond our capacity to express. Jesus goes before us to show us the way, both up the mountain and into heaven, and - I speak boldly - it is for us now to follow him with all speed, yearning for the heavenly vision that will give us a share in his radiance, renew our spiritual nature and transform us into his own likeness, making us for ever sharers in his Godhead and raising us to heights as yet undreamed of.

 

Let us run with confidence and joy to enter into the cloud like Moses and Elijah, or like James and John. Let us be caught up like Peter to behold the divine vision and to be transfigured by that glorious transfiguration. Let us retire from the world, stand aloof from the earth, rise above the body, detach ourselves from creatures and turn to the creator, to whom Peter in ecstasy exclaimed: Lord, it is good for us to be here.
... St. Athanasius on the Transfiguration image

Rise My Soul, The Lord Is Risen

Rise My Soul, The Lord Is Risen  

Matt Papa, Matt Boswell, Keith & Kristyn Getty

Rise my soul, the Lord is risen

Come behold the empty grave

See the place where darkness laid Him

Sing for only hope remains

Hallelujah, praise forever

Death defeated and life restored

By that great immortal power

Christ is risen, arise my soul

Rest my soul, the Lord is risen

Love’s redeeming work is done

Now the Father sees his children

As He sees His sinless Son

Oh the wonder, oh the glory

That same favor is now my own

Shame behind me, grace before me

Christ is risen, arise my soul

Bridge:

Arise my soul, arise my soul

Arise my soul, arise my soul

Peace my soul, the Lord is risen

Come and have your hope renewed

For this trial is brief and fleeting

Tears will turn to glory soon

Shout with joy and sound the triumph

Let the music of heaven roar

Let the boast of death be silent

Christ is risen, arise my soul

Rise my soul, for I am risen

Seated now with Christ, my Lord

As my life belongs to heaven

Fear shall hold its sway no more

Onward, upward, toward the treasure

Filled with courage and endless hope

For this truth is mine forever

Christ is risen, arise my soul
