OPENING PRAYER

Intro

Heavenly father, we gather here at your invitation. Surrounded by the beauty of Your creation, we gather now to worship you.

Leader

In the vast expanse of Your creation,
We gather to worship and adore You.

Response

Creator God,
Maker of heaven and earth,
You formed the mountains and the seas,
And filled the earth with life.

Leader

In the rustling of the leaves,
In the whisper of the wind,
In the song of the evening creatures,
Your presence surrounds us.

Response

Great Architect of the universe,
You set the sun to rule the day,
And the moon to grace the night.
Your wisdom and beauty astound us.

Leader

Under the open evening sky,
We lift our voices in praise,
Joining with all creation
To glorify Your holy name.

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,
Who was, and is, and is to come.
Let all creation praise Your name forevermore!
Amen.

All

Our Father, Who Art in Heaven

  • Acknowledge God’s presence and nearness in the here and now

ANCIENT GATES

Brooke Ligertwood | Scott Ligertwood | Jason Ingram (based on the recording by Brooke Ligertwood)

Verse 1

There is singing at the ancient gates
There’s a melody of ceaseless praise
Age to age the sound is only growing stronger
There’s a throne beneath the Name of Names
There is seated on it One who reigns
And His Kingdom now is here and getting closer

Chorus 1

Praise Him like we’re there in glory
Here and now He’s just as holy
Jesus He’s so worthy of it all

Verse 2

He exists in everlasting light
So on heaven’s streets there is no night
Every tear is wiped a-way we’ll know no sorrow
Worship Him with joyful sound
Sing until you voice gives out
No matter where or who’s a-round release your worship

Chorus 2

Bring your song He loves to hear it
Bring Him every prayer soaked lyric
Jesus He’s so worthy of it all

Bridge

The One who was, the One who is,
The One who is to come

HOUSE OF THE LORD

Words and Music by Phil Wickham and Jonathan Smith

We worship the God who was, we worship the God who is
We worship the God who ever – more will be
He opened the prison doors, He parted the raging sea
My God, He holds the victory, yeah

Chorus

There’s joy in the house of the Lord
There’s joy in the house of the Lord today
And we won’t be quiet, we shout out Your praise
There’s joy in the house of the Lord
Our God is surely in this place
And we won’t be quiet, we shout out Your praise

We sing to the God who heals, we sing to the God who saves
We sing to the God who always makes a way
‘Cause He hung up on that cross, then He rose up from that grave
My God’s still rolling stones away

We were the prisoners, now we’re running free
We are for-given, accepted, re – deemed by His grace
Let the house of the Lord sing praise

GOOD GOOD FATHER

Anthony Brown | Pat Barrett

Verse 1

I’ve heard a thousand stories of what they think You’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
You tell me that You’re pleased and that I’m never a-lone

Chorus

You’re a good, good Father; it’s who You are
It’s who You are, it’s who You are
And I’m loved by You; it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

Verse 2

I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide
But I know we’re all searching for answers only You pro-vide
Because You know just what we need before we say a word

Bridge

You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of You ways to us

Love so unde-niable I can hardly speak
Peace so unex-plainable I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still, as You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still, into love, love, love

As one body, we pray:

All

Hallowed Be Thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven

Self Reflection/Prayer Prompts:

KING OF KINGS

Brooke Ligertwood, Scott Ligertwood and Jason Ingram (based on the recording by Hillsong Worship)

Verse 1

In the darkness we were waiting, without hope without light
Till from Heaven You came running, there was mercy in Your eyes
To ful-fil the law and prophets, to a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory, to a cradle in the dirt

Chorus

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of Glory, Majesty
Praise for-ever to the King of Kings

Verse 2

To re-veal the kingdom coming, and to reconcile the lost
To re-deem the whole cre-ation, You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering, You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our sal-vation, Jesus for our sake You died

Verse 3

And the morning that You rose, all of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good, for the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs, and the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come, to the Father are re-stored

Verse 4

And the Church of Christ was born, then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this Gospel truth of old, shall not kneel shall not faint
By His blood and His Name, in His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ, who has resurrected me

Chorus

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of Glory majesty
Praise for-ever to the King of Kings

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME

Now and for-ever God You reign
Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name above all names

We continue praying The Lord’s Prayer:

All

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Self Reflection/Prayer Prompts:
  • Pray that God would meet our needs in His way and for His glory (James 4:3).
  • Acknowledge your hunger for Jesus, and pray that we would be filled with more of Him in our lives
  • Pray that our trust in the Lord’s provision for our daily needs would give us freedom from anxiety and worry about tomorrow.
  • Take time to confess and renounce your sin to the God who forgives and redeems
  • Who do you need to forgive today? Commit them to the Lord, and pray this prayer of blessing on them:
    • Lord, I agree with you that this person is created in your image and that Jesus died for him/her. He/she is therefore loved by you, so I pray your blessing on his/her life now, in your name. Amen.

To sing the song of ages to the Lamb
And all who’ve gone before us
And all who will believe
Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb

To the King of Kings, Holy
You will always be, Holy

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil

Self Reflection/Prayer Prompts:
  • Pray to recognize the reality of the evil that remains in our own hearts, and in this world
  • Claim the victory of the cross of Christ (Ephesians 1:7), through which our sins are forgiven and the enemy is utterly defeated (Colossians 2:15)
  • Give thanks that God’s grace in Jesus is greater than all our sin.

BATTLE BELONGS

Phil Wickham | Brian Johnson

Verse 1

When all I see is the battle, You see my vict-ry
When all I see is the mountain, You see a moun-tain moved
And as I walk through the shadow, Your love sur-rounds me
There’s nothing to fear now, for I am safe with You

Chorus

So when I fight, I’ll fight on my knees with my hands lifted high
O God, the battle be-longs to You
And ev’ry fear I lay at Your feet.
I’ll sing through the night
O God
The battle be-longs to You

Verse 2

And if You are for me, who can be a-gainst me?
For Jesus, there’s nothing im-possible for You
When all I see are the ashes, You see the beauty
When all I see is a cross, God, You see the emp-ty tomb

Bridge

(An) Almighty Fortress, You go be-fore us
Nothing can stand against the power of our God
You shine in the shadows, You win ev-ry battle
Nothing can stand against the power
Of our God

O God, the battle be-longs to You
