Order of Worship
March 29, 2015
CALL TO WORSHIP
from Luke 9:51; Matthew 21:8; Luke 19:37, 38; Matthew 21:9
LEADER: As the time approached for him to be taken up to
heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. As he
went along, a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the
road, while others cut branches from the trees and
spread them on the road. When he came near the place
where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the
whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in
loud voices for all the miracles they had seen, saying:
PEOPLE: (with a loud voice) “Blessed is the king who comes in
the name of the Lord!”
LEADER: And the multitudes that went ahead of him and those
that followed shouted,
PEOPLE: (with a loud voice) “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest!”
SONGS OF PRAISE
ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME
All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all;
Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all.
Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all;
To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all.
O that with yonder sacred throng, We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all;
We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all.

GLORY TO THE LORD OUR GOD
Lift up your heads, O ye gates,
let the King of Glory come in;
Be lifted up, O ancient doors;
let the King of Glory come in! (repeat)
Glory to the Lord, our God; Glory to the Lamb on the throne;
Open wide the gates of our hearts, with our lips we rise up and praise
As we worship the Ancient of Days.
[Return to verse]
Who can ascend to the hill of the Lord,
people of clean hearts and hands;
You, who are righteous and seeking His face,
Come and worship the Ancient of Days,
Come and worship the Ancient of Days. (chorus)
HALLELUJAH FOR THE CROSS
Up to the hill of Calvary, my Savior went courageously
And there he bled and died for me, Hallelujah for the cross
And on that day the world was changed, a final perfect Lamb
was slain, Let earth and heaven now proclaim:
Hallelujah for the cross!
Hallelujah for the war he fought, love has won, death has lost
Hallelujah for the souls he bought, Hallelujah for the cross!
What good I’ve done could never save, my debt too great for
deeds to pay, But God my Savior made a way,
Hallelujah for the cross, A slave to sin, my life was bound,
but all my chains fell to the ground, When Jesus’ blood came
flowing down, Hallelujah for the cross! (chorus)
And when I breathe my final breath, I’ll have no need to fear
that rest, This hope will guide me into death,
Hallelujah for the cross! (chorus)

AMAZING GRACE (MY CHAINS ARE GONE)
Amazing grace, How sweet the sound, That saved a wretch
like me, I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears
relieved, How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free, My God, my Savior has
ransomed me, And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope
secures, He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures (chorus)
When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as
the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun (chorus)
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to
shine, But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine, Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

THE POWER OF THE CROSS
Oh, to see the dawn, Of the darkest day: Christ on the road to
Calvary. Tried by sinful men, Torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood.
This, the pow’r of the cross: Christ became sin for us;
Took the blame, bore the wrath—We stand forgiven at the cross.
Oh, to see the pain, Written on Your face, Bearing the
awesome weight of sin. Ev’ry bitter thought, Ev’ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow. (chorus)
Now the daylight flees; Now the ground beneath Quakes as its
Maker bows His head. Curtain torn in two, Dead are raised to
life; “Finished!” the vict’ry cry. (chorus)
Oh, to see my name, Written in the wounds, For through
Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death; Life is
mine to live, Won through Your selfless love.
This, the pow’r of the cross: Son of God—slain for us.
What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross.
