Song………………………......Be Unto Your Name
Be Unto Your Name
Gary Sadler/Lynn De Shazo
We are a moment; You are forever. Lord of the ages, God before time.
We are a vapor; You are eternal. Love everlasting, reigning on high.
Holy, holy, Lord God almighty, worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Highest praises, honor and glory, be unto Your name; Be unto Your name.
We are the broken; You are the healer. Jesus, Redeemer, mighty to save.
You are the love song we'll sing forever. Bowing before You, blessing Your name.
Holy, holy, Lord God almighty, worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Highest praises, honor and glory be unto Your name; Be unto Your name.
Holy, holy, Lord God almighty, worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Highest praises, honor and glory be unto Your name; Be unto Your name.

Song………………………….Indescribable
Indescribable
Story/Reeves
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea,
Creation's revealing Your majesty;
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring,
Every creature unique in the song that it sings-----all exclaiming,
Chorus: Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky,
And You know them by name. You are amazing, God.
All powerful, untamable, awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim, You are amazing, God.
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go,
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow;
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light,
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night ----- none can fathom.
Chorus: Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky,
And You know them by name. You are amazing, God.
Incomparable, unchangeable, You see the depths of my heart,
And You love me the same. You are amazing, God.
(repeat last chorus)
Song……………………………………………….Grace So Glorious
Grace So Glorious
S. Furtick, I. Houghton, C. Brown
Beneath the cross of Jesus Christ
No shadow remains for shame to hide
Redemption shone for all to see
Perfection bore our penalty
With a grace so glorious
Immortal day the veil was torn
When mercy donned a crown of thorns
As law gave way to liberty
And freedom for humanity
With a grace so glorious.
Oh, the glory of the Savior's love
Surrounding our surrender
To know forever we are welcomed home
Crowned in glory to glory
Worthy is the Lord
Of all the glory forever
Holy is the Lord
[x2]
Triumphant praises without end
All hailing the King of righteousness
And every eye beholds the One
Our hearts were undeserving of
With a grace so glorious
Oh, the glory of the Savior's love
Surrounding our surrender
To know forever we are welcomed home
Crowned in glory to glory
Worthy is the Lord
Of all the glory forever
Holy is the Lord
[x2]
O wondrous day when I will see
The face of Him who ransomed me
I'll fall in worship at His feet
And rise to reign eternally
In a grace so glorious
Oh, in a grace so glorious
Crowned in glory to glory
Worthy is the Lord
Of all the glory forever
Holy is the Lord
[x2]

Sermon “The Message of the King to His Church in Thyatira”

Song of Preparation
(Children’s church returns)
Hymn of Response...........................There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood
There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood
William Cowper
There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in His day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
Washed all my sins away, washed all my sins away
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow’r,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more
Be saved to sin no more, be saved to sin no more
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save.
When this poor, lisping, stamm’ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave
When this poor, lisping, stamm’ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
The Lord’s Supper
Closing Hymn………………………......We Are God’s People
We Are God’s People
Chris Tomlin
We are God's people, the chosen of the Lord,
Born of His Spirit, established by His Word;
Our cornerstone is Christ alone,
And strong in Him we stand:
O let us live transparently
And walk heart to heart and hand in hand.
We are God’s loved ones, the Bride of Christ our Lord,
For we have known it, the love of God outpoured;
Now let us learn how to return
The gift of love once given:
O let us share each joy and care,
And live with a zeal that pleases Heaven.
We are the Body of which the Lord is Head,
Called to obey Him, now risen from the dead;
He wills us be a family,
Diverse yet truly one:
O let us give our gifts to God,
And so shall his work on earth be done.
