Calls to Worship: Special
(Holy Communion)
We stand before the Lord this day; the Lord of the burning bush and the cloud upon the mountain.
TO GOD BE PRAISE AND GLORY! THIS IS THE LORD OF OUR LIVES.
We acknowledge the risen Christ ...our Savior and Redeemer ...the Master recognized in the break of bread and amid the dust of the Emmaus road.
TO CHRIST BE PRAISE AND GLORY. THIS IS THE SAVIOR WHO MAKES ALL THINGS NEW.
We acknowledge the holy Spirit who enables us ...seen in the descending dove, heard in the rushing wind and tongues of fire.
TO THE HOLY SPIRIT ALL PRAISE AND GLORY!THIS IS THE ONE WHO EMPOWERS US.
Even now in this time ...in this place we have seen signs of God's greatness.
COME, LET US SING OUR PRAISE!
(Easter)
Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed!
He lives and reigns.
He live with our hearts.
He lives and reigns.
He reigns over all our lives.
(Advent)
We come with wonder to hear the Word.
We share in awe the Word in flesh.
We act with fear, for the risk seems great.
We ponder the miracle of Faith, in our hearts.
We praise God for what we have seen and heard.
We wait for his word to be spoken again among us.
Come, let us sing and rejoice together!
O sing to God a new song;
Sing praise, all the earth!
Sing, bless God's name; tell of God's salvation from day to day.
Declare God's glory among the nations, and marvelous works among all peoples!
For God is a great God, and greatly to be praise; God is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the people are idols: but our God made the heavens.
Honor and majesty are before God; strength and beauty are in God's sanctuary.
Ascribe to God, O families of the peoples, ascribe to God glory and strength!
Ascribe to God the name of Glory; bring an offering, and come into the courts divine!
Worship God in holy array; tremble in awe, all the earth!
Say among the nations, "God reigns"!
Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved;
God will judge the peoples with equity."
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
Let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy before God,
For God comes to judge the earth.
God will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with truth.
(God)
GOD IS A SPIRIT.
They that worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
GOD IS LIGHT.
If we walk in the light, as God is in the light, we have fellowship with one another; and truly our fellowship is with God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
GOD IS POWER.
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
GOD IS LOVE.
Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us.
