Dr. Paul Cunningham (7:30 & 8:45) Rev. Jeff Pearson (11:00) Responsive Call To WorshipSelections from Psalm 118 John Griffiths, Elder Leader: Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and my defense; He has become my salvation. People: Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: “The LORD’s right hand has done mighty things! The LORD’s right hand is lifted high; the LORD’s right hand has done mighty things!” Leader: I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done. The LORD has chastened me severely, but He has not given me over to death. Open for me the gates of the righteous; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD. People: This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter. I will give You thanks, for You answered me; You have become my salvation. Leader: The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes. The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.

When I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed: (Chorus) Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee: How great Thou art, How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee: How great Thou art, How great Thou art! When through the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from lofty mountain grandure And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze: (Chorus) And when I think that God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin: (Chorus) When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration, And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! (Chorus) †Benediction Rev.
