Love Lifted Me
I was sinking deep in sin
Far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stained within
Sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea
Heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me
Now safe am I
Love lifted me
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
All my heart to Him I give
Ever to Him I’ll cling
In His blessed presence live
Ever His praises sing
Love so mighty and so true
Merits my soul’s best songs
Faithful loving service too
To Him belongs
Love lifted me
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
I Stand Amazed (My Saviour’s Love)
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me
A sinner condemned unclean
How marvelous how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous how wonderful
Is my Savior’s love for me
He took my sins and my sorrows
He made them His very own
He bore the burden to Calvary
And suffered and died alone
How marvelous how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous how wonderful
Is my Savior’s love for me

Lord’s Prayer (Slides) ‘Join me in the prayer of Jesus’
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. Forgive us our trespasses, while we forgive those who trespass against us. And, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
Reading (Slides)
“When you are praying, don’t use repetition, thinking a lot of words will make you better heard. Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”
“Pray, like this way: ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [Amen.]’”
“If you forgive other people for their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. If you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your.”
“If you fast, don’t try to be noticed by making a gloomy face. Anoint your head and wash your face, so that your fasting will not be noticed except by your God who sees what you do in secret – let him be the one who notices you.”
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and thieves break in and steal it. Store up treasures in heaven; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
“Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; nor for your clothing. Life is more than food, and the body is for more than clothing. Look at the birds of the sky, they do not sow, reap, or gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than them?”
“Can anyone add a single day to their life though worry? Notice how the lilies of the field grow; they do not labor, nor do they spin thread for cloth, yet Solomon was not dressed as glorious as them.”
“If God clothes the grass of the field, which are thrown into the furnace tomorrow, will He not provide for you even more? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat, or drink, or what are we do wear?’”
“Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. So, seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness first, and all these things will be provided to you. Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:7-21, 25-34

The Steadfast Love
The steadfast love
Of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
New every morning
Great is Thy faithfulness O Lord
Great is Thy faithfulness
The steadfast love
Of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
New every morning
Great is Thy faithfulness O Lord
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow
Of turning with Thee
Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been
Thou forever wilt be
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus (Trust In Jesus)
‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know thus saith the Lord
Jesus Jesus how I trust Him
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er
Jesus Jesus precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more
Yes ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus
Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest and joy and peace
Jesus Jesus how I trust you
How I’ve proved you o’er and o’er
Jesus Jesus precious Jesus
O for grace to trust you more

Benediction (Blank Slide)
May we go with Jesus’ radical words ‘Happy are the poor in spirit, those who mourn, those who are gentle, those who hunger and thirst, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those who have been persecuted. May we go, with the challenge to be salt and light, to be a light shining before others and in so doing, may we see with God’s eyes and glorify God.
Closing PeaceLeader: May the Peace of the Lord go with you. Response: And also with you.
