Grace to you from God the Father

EVENING SONG

Savior, I come; quiet my soul; Remember redemption’s hill

Where Your blood was spilled for my ransom

Everything I once held dear I count it all as loss

Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out

Bring me to my knees; Lord, I lay me down.

Rid me of myself, I belong to You

Oh lead me, Lead me to the cross

 

To Your heart ….

Lead me to Your heart ….

O lead me to Your heart ….

 

Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out

Bring me to my knees; Lord, I lay me down.

Rid me of myself, I belong to You

Oh lead me, Lead me to the cross

 

OPENING PRAYER

w/ CONFESSION

Father, You have pursued us relentlessly throughout this day

and brought us just as we are before Your presence:
Through Your unfailing love, hear us as we pray!

Your beloved Son, Jesus taught us the way of Love;

He said: “You will love the Lord Your God with all your heart,

with all your mind, and with all your strength.”

Father, we confess that our love has been imperfect;

it is often marred by the stain of our sin and brokenness.

Jesus also taught us that loving You means loving others too;

He said: “You will love your neighbor as yourself.”

Father, we confess that our love for others has, 

at times, been selfish and imperfect.

 

Silence for Reflection

 

God of infinite mercy and grace:

Forgive us our imperfections and willful transgressions.

Free us to love; Free us to live; and Free us to serve You

and our neighbor as we walk in newness of life.  Amen!

 

In the name of Jesus, You are forgiven!

In the name of Jesus, You too are forgiven.

Glory to God.  Amen!

EVENING SONG

You were as I, tempted and tried

You are, the Word became flesh

Bore my sin and death

Now, You’re risen

Everything I once held dear

I count it all as loss

Lead me to the cross

Where Your love poured out

Bring me to my knees

Lord, I lay me down.

Rid me of myself, I belong to You

Oh lead me, Lead me to the cross

 

To Your heart ….

Lead me to Your heart ….

O lead me to Your heart ….

 

Lead me to the cross

Where Your love poured out

Bring me to my knees

Lord, I lay me down.

Rid me of myself, I belong to You

Oh lead me, Lead me to the cross

 

BENEDICTION

O Lord, let Your servants rest in peace that we might rise tomorrow with Your praise on our lips, Your joy in our hearts, and Your calling ever before us.  Amen!
